Friendly but selective, they value people who are sincere and keep their word.

The Aquarius man
The Aquarius man is not a big socializer and often prefers quiet time alone, yet he loves to surprise people. He is fiercely independent and will simply walk away from situations that feel controlling or petty. He follows his own path rather than fashion, enjoys researching many subjects, including the person he loves, and has an artist's soul. He is a little stubborn and may feel lonely at times, perhaps because he dislikes competing or fighting for things.
He does not talk much about love. He usually starts as a friend and only becomes a partner when the connection is real. He is in no hurry to marry; what he values most is a partner who is also a best friend and confidant.
The Aquarius woman
The Aquarius woman is clever, quick-witted and charming, and many people find her irresistible. Her moods can swing from bright and lively to quiet and low. If someone hurts her badly, she remembers it for a long time and may act as if she never knew them.
To her, love is the most beautiful and romantic thing in the world, yet she sometimes worries about being disappointed in the future. She gets along with everyone but chooses her close friends carefully, because she is sincere and keeps her promises.
Aquarius in love and relationships
Dating an Aquarius man: keep a little mystery. Let him discover you bit by bit rather than all at once, and do not crowd him, or he may lose interest.
Dating an Aquarius woman: respect her privacy and do not try to control her or make her follow your lead; she is a modern woman who walks beside you, not behind you. Give her space and she will keep surprising you.
