The Gemini man
The Gemini man is sharp, capable and quick. He is a gifted talker with a way with words, and everything he does looks effortless. Exercise is high on his list, and he hates to stand still: he feels most alive when he is on the move.
He also cares a lot about his appearance and can happily spend a long time in front of the mirror. Surprisingly tidy, he likes things neat and in their place and does clean, careful work. Because he gets bored easily, he rarely sticks to one thing for long.
He can be difficult to read, since his mood shifts easily, and few people truly understand him. Even so, he does not take advantage of women. He is attracted to intelligent partners who can solve problems and handle any situation, and once he has chosen someone, he is steady in his love.
The Gemini woman
The Gemini woman has a charm that comes from within. She is lively, cheerful and fun, works quickly and efficiently, and is very bright, always studying and learning new things. Under her quick mind there is a gentle, dreamy side.
Her moods can be unpredictable, so the people around her sometimes cannot tell how she feels and need to watch for the signs. She can talk about almost anything, from everyday life to serious world affairs, which makes her a great partner for discussion.
She enjoys having many friends and tends to see people as friends first. Before she turns a friendship into a relationship she may take a long time, even a couple of years, because she values someone who truly understands her more than anything else.
Gemini in love and relationships
Dating a Gemini man: give him some space and be comfortable doing your own thing, otherwise he may take over and do it for you. He can be hard to pin down, so be ready for the occasional change of plans.
Dating a Gemini woman: accept that her moods go up and down. Keep up with her and keep the relationship interesting; if things stand still, she may keep her options open. A partner who understands her and knows how to please her has every chance of winning her heart.
