In love with a Libra? Ms T has the inside on what makes this sign unique, how to make him yours and what not to do to drive him away.
Inside the Libra’s head
If you ask the Libra man to get you a rose from atop Mount Everest, he will climb it, plant a tree, wait for it grow, and only return when he actually has what he promised in hand. He’s determined and hard-working to a fault.
Just like the “scales” that represent this sign, the Libra man evaluates the pros and cons of every situation in his head, assessing each extremity before arriving at that perfect balance. This means that he thinks ten times before making any move. But once he does, he’s not the kind of man to be flaky afterwards or go back on his word.
He’s a serial monogamist and hates not being in a relationship so much that he might even stay in a dysfunctional one.
He loves the good things in life and will stop at nothing to get them, even if that
means compromising on his family life.
How to tip his scales in your favour
1. Learn to bear with his chronic indecisiveness — from where to go for dinner to whether you’re the girl he wants to have dinner with for the rest of his life, he will stay confused for a very long time.
2. Trends don’t necessarily get his attention. However, he appreciates elegance, classy statements and crisp and clean cuts. Translation = he’ll run from a Lady Gaga!
3. Always reciprocate his love. He’s not the kind of person who can pine for years or waste time on unrequited love.
What throws him off balance
1. He just can’t stand any kind of extreme behaviour. So whether you have an Amish way of life or a tattoo on your butt, the Libra man will judge you either way.
2. Like his Air sign, the Libra man always remains a bit detached and wayward. So if you push him too hard to be more present and open himself completely to you right away; he might just call it an early night and never call you again.
Match made in heaven
Libra man — Gemini woman
A Gemini and Libra in a relationship are like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — so perfect for each other that you want to throw knives with your eyes each time they complete each other’s sentence or display some PDA serendipitously right out of The Notebook.
DON’T even think about it
Libra man — Cancer woman
Libras can’t stand extremes — and when the Cancer’s mood goes from euphoric highs to depressing lows within a few hours, it can seriously put off the Libra man. So the Libra will only retreat and retract making the Cancer even crabbier.
