The 3 ‘Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me’ Zodiac Signs

GEMINI

Gemini, you are a complex creature. You want to be seen as independent and capable, but another side of you is always looking for external validation. It’s that classic teacher’s pet mentality that integrates itself into every other aspect of your life. You’re either an only child or the offspring who receives preferential treatment. At work you have access to files or are entrusted with tasks that are above your pay grade. And in love, you long to be chosen out of the crowd, but also don’t have the patience to sit back under a vow of total silence. You’re the type that reaches their final breaking point and can’t help but argue your own case. On the one hand, it shows you have enough self-worth to stand up for yourself, but on the other exposes the fact that you still need to ask others for the love you want to receive. You still don’t trust that the right person will come along and give it of their own volition.

VIRGO

Virgo, you’re probably having a palpable reaction to seeing your name on this list because as hard as you’ve tried to hide it, you’ve finally been caught. You thought that if you hid your true feelings behind a grammatical decoy, a single word to throw everyone off your scent — don’t pick me, don’t choose me, don’t love me, you’d be safe. Despite your reputation as a perfectionist, you still see yourself as extremely flawed. You compare yourself to a dog who’s been in the shelter far too long. Rough around the edges with more than a few bad habits and far past the lovable innocence of puppyhood. And while you try to convince yourself that you’d rather lone wolf it on the streets, the truth is you’re dying for someone to see those same flaws and choose you not, in spite of them, but because of them. Because they give you character and tell your story, because they make you, you. All that’s standing between you and the comfort and safety of a home is your own fear.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you’ve never shied away from a challenge, and that includes setting your sights on someone who is desired by others. It doesn’t afford you the time or the finesse of a slow build or burn, you have to put yourself out there before they end up taken, but you’re not afraid to do what it takes to get what you want. It’s risky, uncomfortable, and not for the faint of heart, but at least you’re never left wondering where you stand. You know the request alone isn’t enough to secure someone’s affections, but someone has to be the first to make their feelings known. At the end of the day, what you really want is the simplicity of reciprocation, but you don’t believe in soulmates. You are one of many amazing people in the world, and compatibility and chemistry are abundant. Sometimes it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and being the person who is willing to say something. You’ll pine over an unrequited love.
