How To Know If He's Going To Make The First Move, According To His Zodiac Sign
If you want simple flirting to turn into something more, sometimes you've got to make the move YOURSELF.
WeHeartIt When you’re dating someone, it’s totally common to wonder who will make the first move when it comes to flirting, but if you look to astrology and to someone's horoscope, their zodiac sign can give clues as to whether or not they have the guts to go for it (or if you're going to have to do the dirty work).
If things are moving way too slowly for your liking, you may start wondering if you’re going to have to be the brave person to move things forward.
Some men are super forward and won’t hesitate at all to let you know what their intentions are. These guys will be quick to lean in for the first kiss or schedule a TON of dates with you.
Other guys, though, move things slowly and are a bit more shy about initiating romantic gestures — which is totally understandable.
Dating can be completely nerve-wracking and not everyone is bold enough to make the first move.
But if you want to move things forward, someone will eventually have to make the first move, and sometimes, it might have to be you.
Everyone knows how annoying it is when two people OBVIOUSLY like each other but are both too shy to initiate anything. We get it — being the first person to initiate a kiss or to ask “what are we” is totally scary.

What if the other person doesn’t like you back? Or what if you’ve been misreading all their signals and this relationship isn’t what you thought it was? OUCH.
Trying to figure out someone else's feelings can be totally confusing, but that's why someone has to make a first move so that you two can know where you stand with each other.
If you want to know whether or not someone will make the first move, you can look to their zodiac sign. Your horoscope can say a lot about your character and your personality.
Some signs are bold and proactive when it comes to dating — these signs go out of their way to initiate things with their partner. Other signs are shy and slow to open up. These signs probably won’t make the first move, and it will be up to you to move things forward.
