Be independent.

Aquarians are drawn to people who pursue their passions and goals. This zodiac sign tends to be very independent, so he’ll appreciate that quality in a partner, as well. Stay busy with your own life and projects–you don’t need to be available to him 24/7. An Aquarian is likely to run for the hills if he senses any clinginess or neediness, so make it clear to him that you’re an independent person with goals and dreams.
- Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis says, “It would be good to have your own passions, hobbies and pursuits to keep you from being so focused on the relationship. Maintain a life of your own to prove that you are a high-quality, self-sufficient, confident person.”^{[3]

If you don’t know him well yet, stay away from personal and emotional conversations–at least until you’ve bonded a bit and established a solid friendship. He wants to have fun with you, not reveal his deepest and darkest secrets.
- Ask him lowkey questions about his favorite hobbies, job, or day-to-day life like, “What do you like to do in your free time?” and, “Where’d you go for lunch?”

5

Be warm and open minded.

Be a little mysterious.

When your Aquarian is around, play it cool by talking to him with confidence, but don’t give everything away at once. Share enough so he’s able to get to know you, but it’s okay to be a little cryptic about your activities and your past–in fact, he’s likely to be even more intrigued. Rather than telling him how you feel about every single thing, let him figure some stuff out on his own. He loves when his curiosity is piqued!

12

Bond over mutual interests.
