4 Zodiacs Who Think They Want To Be In A Relationship, But Actually Don’t

LEO

Leo thinks they want to be in a relationship because all of their friends are in relationships, everyone on social media is in a relationship, and they like the idea of someone choosing them above everyone else and the validation should theoretically come along with it. But Leo isn’t ready to prioritize a partner above their closest friends, or turn down invitations for nights in at home. They don’t want to leave the days of friends or strangers crashing on their couch after a long night of partying, or not being able to flirt with cute strangers. The truth is they haven’t sufficiently appreciated all of the amazing aspects of their life as a single person. No snoring. No drama. No disruption of their friend groups. There are just certain aspects of their life where a plus one doesn’t make sense right now, and that’s okay. Everything will come in it’s due time for Leo.

VIRGO

Virgo thinks they need a soulmate to feel complete, to earn that ultimate gold star, to feel like they’re good enough, but the truth is, they are in a really good place in their single life right now. They need some more time doing things their way, on their schedule, without feeling like they have to bend over backwards or be someone they’re not just to fit someone else into their life. Virgo still needs to learn that it’s not necessary to give up who you are in order to keep a partner by your side. We all have to change and grow in a relationship, but the right person won’t ask Virgo to pretend to like things they hate or become a smaller version of themselves in order to keep things going. Virgo needs to learn how to establish those boundaries and draw those lines in the sand before they’re ready to take on a new romantic partner. 

SCORPIO

Scorpio thinks they’re looking for someone long-term, but the truth is they just haven’t met anyone with the confidence or fortitude to be their serious partner. Anything less would be settling, and that only spells disaster for a Scorpio. They need passion, intellectual stimulation, deep emotional connection, and room to explore all the other facets of a personal relationship with another complex individual. Someone who just wants to go through the motions and keep up with appearances would stifle all of the magnetic energy coursing through Scorpio’s veins. Trying to squeeze all that potential into such an ill-suited vessel will never last more than a few weeks or months at most. Scorpio will always find a way to break free, so they may as well just play the field until they find themselves face to face with someone who can handle them properly and with the respect, devotion, and admiration they deserve.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn thinks they want to be in a relationship because everyone around them is expressing concern over how alone they seem, but Capricorn simply has their sights set on something else. Career is the obvious stereotype, but it could be anything. Their personal health and wellbeing. Writing a book. Learning to code. Saving up for a trip to India. Whatever the goal post, it has been taking up all of their time and energy, and the truth is they haven’t felt a lack or hole where a relationship should be. Things are good. Comfortable. Stimulating. If the right person were to come along, of course they’d pursue the opportunity, but they don’t feel the need to go out seeking such a match. Their life feels full and fulfilling all on its own as it is.
