Six Awesome Ways to Snag a Sagittarius Man (And Maybe Even Keep Him)

Sagittarius is the luckiest sign of the zodiac. Lucky to be alive, that is.

He’s the guy at work that makes fun of the boss to his face and somehow gets away with it. He trips over his own feet, falls on the ground, and finds a $100 bill under a garbage can. He gives you the best sex of your life, tiptoes out while you sleep, doesn’t call you back, and then greets you with a high-five weeks later as if nothing happened.

This man likes to live on the edge.

Now, you’re sure you want this lifelong bachelor? But alas: you do. You can get him for an hour or two, or maybe a whole night, but how do you actually keep him? Many have tried; few have succeeded. But there are ways, and they aren’t for the faint of heart.

First and foremost, act like you don’t care what he does. You know how cats seem to like people who don’t like cats? That’s pretty much how Sag rolls. Don’t expect anything from them and they’ll stick around. Make demands and they hide under the sofa and vomit. Sag needs to think it’s free to come and go. He calls you, but he won’t answer your calls. He won’t tell you where he’s going or who he’s with. Let him come to you, and he’ll keep coming, over and over again. Just don’t play hard to get: pushing and pulling is too much work for him, and since you’re putting in the effort to play mind games, he knows he’s already won. Just be independent like the modern woman you are.

Start a conversation about something most people would find uncomfortable to discuss. Sag doesn’t understand taboos or small talk. He doesn’t give a crap about your job what happened there unless you walked in on your boss masturbating. Then definitely tell him all about it. Sags just don’t take words seriously, the way that a fish doesn’t take a drop of water seriously while swimming in the ocean. So, whatever offends, infuriates, scandalizes, and confuses everyone else delights him. Just don’t tell him point-blank that you want to fuck him. That sounds too much like a commitment, and Sag doesn’t do commitment unless it is his idea

Go out with him for an exotic meal and pig out. Sags eat until there’s nothing left. Chances are that he’s permanently banned from at least one buffet, so try a regular restaurant. He wants you to choose, because given the possibility of choosing just one thing to the exclusion of all others throws him into a panic. And he fully expects you to partake in the joy of eating something new and interesting. He thinks pretending that you live on salad and iced tea is a horrible LIE, and he’d rather not be the only one who gets food in his hair.

He gets food in his hair, you know.

Stay outside. Sags are claustrophobic. They’re fine in their own basement, but put them in a room where there’s no actual activity – like a party – and they either create something to entertain them, like a fight, or beeline for the door. They don’t like crowded spaces, and they handle that by drinking … a lot, so think twice before taking him to a Thanksgiving dinner with all 80 of your closest relatives. If you want to see Sag at his best, stay outdoors.

Choose adventure and leave the heels at home. Sags likes to be outside and likes to be moving. They wander around, even when they don’t have to go anywhere. They’re at peace when they can move around on their own accord and take in the sights and sounds. They can duck into alleys and hide when the girl they were with last week comes walking by. Sag is perfectly content to spend the day hiking up a mountain, wandering the shops in Chinatown, or down the aisles at Wal-Mart at 3 a.m. on a weekday to see the locals in their natural habitat. Suggest a date that involves exploring a new neighborhood or hiking in the great outdoors and he’s game, especially if neither of you’ve been there before.

Meet him online first. Online dating is perfect for Sag because keyboards have delete keys but mouths don’t. He has a better chance of not putting his foot in his mouth if he has to think about what he’s about to say. He’s a poet and a scholar behind the screen. You can’t see the barbeque sauce on his shirt, or the fact that he hasn’t showered in three days. Of course, he’ll clean up if you (ever) meet, but by then, you’re already in love with his adventurous, fiery soul.

Wooing and Winning a Sagittarius: Tips for Each Zodiac Sign

So, you have your eye on a Sagittarius, but you don’t know how to get them to like you. Now, these folks value honesty about all else. Whatever you try to hide will be revealed, so you either have to change for life or strongly consider whether this relationship is worth personal reinvention.
But you’re going to try impress the Archer anyway. So, here is what each zodiac sign can do to catch the Sagittarian eye:

Aries: Just be yourself. This usually doesn’t work most of the time, does it? It works here. But Sagittarius appreciates you endless enthusiasm and love of danger. Sag is happy to let you be the human litmus test for everything. They’ll wait and see what happens to you after you jump off the cliff to decide whether to do it themselves. Then, they’ll patch you up with their know-how and go with you on the next adventure.

Taurus: Get out of your comfort zone. Your favorite part of a relationship is when you can eat pizza and sit on the sofa in your pajamas. This feels like the end to Sagittarius. Sag is game for chilling once or twice, but routine is boring, and they get cabin fever. Yes, that means doing something that makes you uncomfortable, like eating weird food or talking to strangers, but they thrive on this stuff. It scares you, but it makes them feel alive.

Gemini: Be imaginative. Sagittarius is more concerned with what could be than what actually is. If they say what if, the answer shouldn’t be but it isn’t. You are both know-it-alls, but you acquire knowledge differently. Sag values its ability to speculate. You value your ability to know. You’re both curious, so why not explore something neither of you know? When neither of you are the expert, neither of you can tell the other they’re wrong.

Cancer: Give them space. Yes, they appreciate everything you do, but no, they don’t understand your need to hear this all the time. Sagittarius isn’t fond of nostalgia or the past, either. Going through old photos doesn’t make them nearly as happy as making new memories. There are only so many times they can have dinner with your family, too. It’s okay if Sagittarius doesn’t check in daily or goes out alone. Trust they still care and they will.

Leo: Introduce them to all the cool people you know. Sagittarius loves talking to people who can show or tell them different things. You naturally make friends and gather admirers from a wide variety of people. While you won’t follow them to the ends of the Earth or the stretches of their imagination, you can find someone who will, and you needn’t be jealous. They know you’re the source of all the goodies they get.

Virgo: Make room for a little chaos. Sagittarius doesn’t care about organization, routine, or tidiness. Don’t let them mess up your bathroom, but expect them to pee in the shower and leave pubes on the soap. They wake up in the afternoon without feeling they lost the day. They don’t want to be told they’re doing things wrong all the time. Relax about a few stains on the carpet and water rings on the table.

Libra: Be honest and direct. They don’t take hints well, if at all. If you say everything’s fine, that no, you love that they painted the living room walls orange, they’ll believe you. If you don’t want orange walls, don’t suggest coral or apricot. Just tell them point-blank you would rather they paint the walls blue. They need to know exactly what pleases you, how to do it, and you won’t change your mind a minute later.

Scorpio: Stay out of their heads. Sagittarius will let you pick their brain to a certain extent, but they resent you telling them what they’re thinking, even if you’re right. Being with someone who predicts their every move makes them feel trapped. Sags stick around when they feel free to come and go, and that includes being free to come and go in their minds. Don’t demand to know what they’re thinking; even they may have no idea.

Sagittarius: Learn to make a commitment. Two Sagittarians have trouble making their thing into a relationship. One of you has to make it official, since you’re both always up for whatever. You can be best friends, but if you want it to be something more, one of you has to make a move. At the very least, ask if you can call them your boyfriend or girlfriend when writing about them on your blog.

Capricorn: Let go of convention a bit. Sagittarius isn’t so aware of its reputation or the need to save for retirement. Sag doesn’t realize they got mustard on their shirt, again. It also doesn’t care who they should or shouldn’t be friends with. They are ambitious in their own way: their goal is to be free to do whatever they want. It won’t hurt your chances at a promotion if your S.O. wears sneakers to work.

Aquarius: Don’t insist on being right all the time. You’re both pretty smart, but you both think you know everything. This can quickly turn into a competition to see who’s smarter. Sagittarius needs to feel intelligent, and dismissing any of their ideas, no matter how improbable they are, feels like a rejection of who they are. If you disagree, talk it out with them. This is why they talk about their ideas in the first place.

Pisces: Get a backbone. Sagittarius speaks freely and sometimes thoughtlessly. They don’t take things personally, and they think no else should either. If Sag thinks your shoes are weird, this isn’t a reflection on you, even though you picked them out and absolutely love them. While Sag can be a knight in shining armor, after a while, you should figure out that putting the cereal on the high shelf means you won’t be able to reach it.

The Vital 3 Do’s and 3 Don’ts for Winning the Heart of a Sagittarius Woman

Sagittarius is the one that never settles down. Is she your girlfriend? Not so fast. She lives for the moment, and she decides when the moment begins or ends.
Everyone has a crush on her, but she never seems to have a boyfriend. The problem with this woman isn’t that she’s oblivious – though she certainly seems that way – but that she just doesn’t care about being paired up. If you want a woman who isn’t going to post a thousand pictures of the two of you on Instagram, you have a winner. If you want a woman who’s going to return your calls, then you have a bit of a challenge on your hands.

Do’s:

1) DO learn to appreciate honesty. Sagittarians are honest to a fault. They don’t have a filter between their mind and their mouth. If you have something between your teeth, she will tell you. If you have a bad haircut, she’ll let you know. She means no harm. After all, there’s no point in pretending that something doesn’t exist when everyone knows it does, and who doesn’t appreciate the truth? The truth, after all, will set you free. She’s perfectly willing to talk about things other women may keep private, so what’s the big deal? Everyone farts, so what’s the problem with owning up to it, at church, with your parents?

2 DO let her eat. Sags love to eat and drink. Abundance and novelty thrills them. Go for Korean, where you get 20 side dishes, or tapas, or something else that has a ton of spices and ingredients. She won’t order a salad, unless it contains octopus and chili peppers. Theoretically, she knows that overeating isn’t good for her, but it feels good right now. Yes, it will catch up with her later, but she thinks she’ll always be young. Take her out and order something delicious so she feels comfortable ordering what she wants. Oh, and let her to pick at your plate and have the olive in your martini.

3) DO give her space. Sagittarius needs to be free to come and free to go. She’s not good at keeping track of dates and times. She avoids routine. She’s also not keen on spending every waking moment with you. She doesn’t need to be physically with someone to reinforce the bond. She feels as she feels, and time and space doesn’t change it. Pouting about being without her tells her that maybe she’s better off without you, because you’re just too needy. If she wants to spend Saturday afternoon walking through the woods, that doesn’t mean she wants you to go with her. She needs space, unstructured time, and opportunity to worry about no one else. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the less she sees you, the more new you are.

Don’ts:

1) DON’T try to romance her the traditional way. This philosophical soul appreciates romance for the experience, but you’re not in just because you sent her roses. You could send flowers to a thousand women. You could take a thousand women out to dinner. While she’s perfectly content to talk the night away as the two of you bare your souls, she actually does that all the time. Talking is her thing, and just because you shared your dreams doesn’t mean you had a moment she wants to recreate. Take her out to a sports game or to a museum. She would rather spend a day at the Smithsonian or park than at the mall.

2) DON’T talk about commitments. A Sag woman wanders into commitment. She doesn’t seek it out. If your five-year plan is marriage, a mortgage, and regular promotions, don’t be surprised if her five-year plan is simply being five years older, and maybe a walkabout in the Outback. She doesn’t want to be an accessory to your grand plan. While she thinks it would be nice to have a big, cozy home, the idea of having to slave away at a job to pay the mortgage on that big house sends her into a panic. She needs the freedom to change her mind and the freedom to make up her mind.

3) DON’T try to feminize her. If you want a girl who takes 3 hours to get ready, you don’t want Sagittarius. She doesn’t want to be a Barbie doll. French tips and lifting weights don’t mix. Don’t get her lingerie for her birthday; she knows it’s really for you. Sag women aren’t interested in clothes shopping. Having stuff means having to take care of stuff. She has never been to a dry cleaner. She’s feminine on her own terms, in her own way, without all of the stifling trappings of conventional femininity. If it’s uncomfortable or limits her movement, she’s not wearing it, and you can’t convince her otherwise.
