5 Concrete Signs You Should Never Date An Aries

There are zodiac compatibility articles for a reason. Some signs just work better with others, whether it’s because of a shared outlook or an “opposites attract” scenario. If you’ve been crushing on a fiery, vibrant Aries and aren’t sure if you’d fit well as a couple, here are some concrete signs that you should avoid dating an Aries at all costs. (As written by an actual Aries. You’re welcome!)

1. You want your relationship to be peaceful and serene.

Aries can be chaotic. They love adventure, hate sitting still, and aren’t afraid to get into a massive debate. Picture game night. If you’d rather your partner sit quietly, rather than getting heated and competitive, an Aries isn’t right for you.

2. You hate when your partner is blunt and to-the-point.

Aries say how they feel. While they won’t be making a point to hurt your feelings, they won’t keep things to themselves either. Overly sensitive people tend to find them a bit “too much.” That doesn’t mean an Aries won’t listen when you tell them they’re being too blunt, though. It just requires you actually saying something, and if you can’t be honest with them yourself, it’ll never work out.

3. You need to be the one to take the lead.

Some signs like to be in control, they like to lead their partner or the relationship. If you’re hoping to do that with an Aries, you’ll be disappointed. This fire sign hates to be told what to do and will actively–or even subconsciously–rebel if they feel like they’re being controlled.

4. You want a quiet life, as opposed to an ambitious one.

Aries are great at making and achieving their goals. They have a vision of what they want their life to be. Because of this, they shrink away from dating people who have no ambition or goals. If you don’t have any dreams for your future, they likely won’t want to date you.

5. You hate to be challenged.

It’s not that they necessarily like fighting. It’s just that Aries like the fun of debating. They like to challenge the people in their lives, and it’s almost always friendly and fun for them. But if you find anything like that a form of “conflict” you’ll be too stressed out dating an Aries to find the experience any fun at all.
