4 Zodiac Signs Who Thrive In Short-Term Relationships

Not every meaningful romance has to be long-term. In fact, some people seem to prefer fleeting love affairs with their significant others, approaching each of their short-term relationships with passion, emotion, and unwavering dedication. While a handful of zodiac signs might prefer a more stable relationship with set plans for the future, other signs flourish when it comes to brief (albeit memorable) romantic entanglements.

Aries

You have a habit of living in your own head, enthusiastically planning out your next adventure while sitting idly in your living room. For you, there’s always some new place to explore, some new person to meet, some new activity worthy of your attention–all things that make life worth living in the first place. Approaching love just as energetically as the prospect of travel and the great outdoors, your romances tend to be extraordinarily passionate, with your past partners spanning across the globe. As important as these past affairs have been, though, your endlessly active lifestyle prevents you from settling into a solid relationship, often leading you to leave whenever things start to grow serious.

Cancer

You possess a somewhat checkered stance on stable relationships, harboring an idyllic view of love one moment yet also expressing deep-seated skepticism at the idea of monogamy in the next. Though you want to settle down with someone, you’re paralyzed by the fear that they’ll one day wind up leaving you, shattering the steady relationship you’ve poured so much time and effort into. As such, the earliest foundations of your romantic endeavors tend to be filled with fiery intensity–only to slowly wane as you express more and more misgivings about the relationship’s potential stability.

Leo

You tend to view the world almost in theatrical terms, adopting any role a situation requires. Whether it’s the supportive best friend, the workaholic office employee, or the starstruck lover, you take each of these performances seriously, disappearing into the character you’re meant to portray. When it comes to relationships, you try to bill yourself as the ultimate romantic partner, roping your significant others’ in with your alluring charisma and sensual flirtations. Glamorizing the beginning of a relationship, you prefer the “honeymoon phase” of a romantic encounter, glorying in the uncertainty and excitement that comes with the first few months of an intimate fling.

Pisces

Few signs have as polished an outlook on love as Pisces do. Compared to most other people, your dreams of an ideal relationship aren’t constrained to the limits of reality, with many of your envisioned romances seemingly straight out of a Nicholas Sparks or Jane Austen novel. While some people might shy away from relationships they feel are destined to fail, you toss yourself after these doomed romances, enjoying each day with your partner as though you’ll never see them again. Taking advantage of every second spent with their significant other, Pisces never waste a moment to prove their extraordinary romantic feelings, outfitting their relationships with a sweeping range of emotions.
