The Virgo man
The Virgo man is a partner you can take anywhere: he is polite, gentle and adapts to any situation. He is good at his job, disciplined and happy to help people in need. He chooses a partner very carefully, which means he rarely gets it wrong, and his dedication to work sometimes leaves admirers disappointed.
When he finds the right person, he becomes surprisingly romantic, with sweet words and constant care. He likes a partner who is neat and well presented, and his love of order means he may notice small flaws. He may spend freely when he really wants something. Above all, he is faithful.
The Virgo woman
The Virgo woman walks with her head held high, which can make her look aloof. She is direct, quick and efficient, and she pays close attention to her appearance, from clothes and accessories to her hair. She is very intelligent, has an excellent memory and takes her time before buying anything.
She is serious about love and wants something real, so she considers carefully before choosing a partner and takes physical closeness seriously, preferring to wait until she is sure of a lasting commitment. She can seem shy, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside: however sad she is, she rarely lets anyone see her tears. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, sometimes to the point of stress, and her love of order can make her a little fussy.

Dating a Virgo woman: do not rush. Be on time for every date, speak kindly, dress neatly and treat everyone with respect. Rudeness is the fastest way to lose her; gentle, sincere words are the way to her heart.
