Scorpio Love Tips

Scorpios have a reputation of being the lustiest sign of the Zodiac, though they keep that a secret until they're ready to strike. They are also intensely loyal, passionate and caring to those they love.  

Scorpio in love is self-protective, and prefers to suss things out covertly.  You might find out that your Scorpio did some detective work on you before agreeing to go on a date. Scorpio might do more than just "google" you; they tend to have their own secret tricks for uncovering any dirt or telling associations.

And yet, they prefer to unwrap a new potential love slowly. They're attracted to more subtle gestures of seduction, and turned off by direct, brutish or vulgar advances. They're sexual creatures, but many have an air of dignity to go along with it and to act as a cover for all kinds of private pleasures to come.

And private is a good word for Scorpio, as they ask all kinds of leading questions, and offer little in return. They have a gift for keeping their own revelations light, while penetrating your psyche with their x-ray vision.  

Scorpio Guys and Gals 

The Scorpio man is a brooder, and is one of those guys that undresses you with his mind, if he's interested. Some are drawn to those who also hint at a hidden wild side, like the librarian who lets her hair down after hours.  

The Scorpio woman holds her own, and men find that self-contained quality intriguing.  In hook-up culture, she's less likely to lower her standards, and more apt to have intense, but quality affairs.  

When dating Scorpio, don't forget that no two are alike. The Scorpion will back up with stinger raised if you act like you've got their number. They detest assumptions, since they know they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery. 

To win Scorpio, be yourself, but cultivate an air of mysterious discovery in the getting-to-know-you phase. Scorpio is a born detective and loves relationships that constantly reveal new layers.

Scorpio is ruled by Mars (traditional) and Pluto (modern) and love is sometimes a battle of wills here. With Scorpio, love is a hook that digs in deep and brings out what's buried, setting off cycles of transformation.  

Scorpio craves that kind of total change, and is drawn instinctively to those that can walk through the shadows with them.  A relationship with Scorpio might not be easy, but it is life-altering, as it often reaches in to the soul. Not one for superficial dalliances, Scorpio brings her whole self to the moment, and looks for others who are capable of doing the same.
