5 Things to Know Before Dating a Scorpio

Scorpio season is almost upon us. Are you prepared? Taming a Scorpio sign may not be easy, but getting to know them can be. They’re known to be one of the most passionate, intense, and complex signs of the zodiac. They can also be controlling, rigid, and slightly unforgiving at times. Every sign has its signature traits and determining your compatibility is easy when you research your sign in combination with your partners. When you’re considering dating as emotional of a sign as Scorpio, you definitely need to be prepared before you get serious. Let’s breakdown everything you need to know before dating a Scorpio.

1. Scorpios have fiery personalities.

Even though Scorpios are astrologically a water sign, they’re full of inner fire and passion. This lends itself to intense courtship, and often a lot of physical affection. Scorpios are considered some of the best lovers in the zodiac, and they are particularly sensitive to touch as a part of their love language. If you don’t like too much PDA or physical affection at home, a Scorpio may not be the right choice for you.

2. Scorpios are honest to a fault.

Don’t ask a Scorpio woman or man a question unless you’re ready to hear an honest answer. Your Scorpio pal or partner won’t be shy about telling you whether or not you actually look good in that dress or letting you know when they’re upset. Scorpios don’t mean to hurt feelings, they believe that honesty is a form of kindness in and of itself. Talking through problems with Scorpios in an open and sometimes blunt fashion is often the best way to move forward from conflict.

3. Scorpios don’t like to be out of control.

If anything is going on, Scorpio wants to be in control. They like power and feel uncomfortable when they don’t have any. You might think it’s a good idea to try to change their mind but once they’ve decided on something, you probably won’t much have success. Scorpios are incredibly stubborn and rarely change their opinions unless they’re presented with an incredibly sound argument. They tend to be good at reading people, so don’t be dishonest because they won’t forgive that easily.

4. Scorpios are incredibly loyal.

While it can be easy to butt heads with a Scorpio, once you’re friends, they’ll support you through anything. Scorpios are naurally quick to distrust other people, so if you’ve won one over, you’ve done a great job. Trust generally must be earned, not given, when it comes to a Scorpio man or woman. They’ll do anything for you once they trust you, but if you break it, don’t expect to get it back anytime soon. A breach of trust is a high offense to a Scorpio.

5. Give Scorpios their space.

While Scorpios can be incredible partners, they also don’t like to give up all of their independence. Even in a relationship, a Scorpio is going to need some time to themselves occasionally. Don’t take it personally, it’s not anything you did. If you smother your Scorpio lover, all you’ll be doing is pushing them further and further away. Whether it’s in public or at home, Scorpios tend to make time for themselves to recharge, which helps give them energy so they can be the life of the party later.

While Scorpios are known to be some of the most intense partners in the zodiac, being with one can present a lot of challenges and a lot of passionate times. If you’re not prepared for brutal honesty, wild passion, and deep loyalty, a Scorpio might not be the right partner for you. However, if you’re hoping for a relationship that will keep you on your toes and make every day exciting, a Scorpio man or woman might be just what you need in your life. No matter who you decide to pair up with, it’s always worth checking your compatibility before you dive in with both feet first.
