The Kind Of Love He's Capable Of Giving You, Based On His Zodiac

The word love has many different meanings. You can say you love your mom and you can also love your coworker's new shoes. It's the same word, but surely the love you feel for a human being, one that gave you life, is probably different than what you feel for an item of clothing.

Every language has some form of the word, and yet it still manages to cause trouble. No one wants to be the first person to say, "I love you," and yet no one wants to force their partner into saying it. It's a big deal when someone says they love you but it can also feel like an obligation. What if you care for them but you don't love them back? What then?

There are times when we are loved by the person we want to love us, but it isn't the kind of love we want. Think: if you've fallen in love with someone and they love you like a sister, that hurts and isn't the kind of love you're looking for.

Love transitions all the time, too. You can start out loving someone as a friend and have that love morph into something romantic. Sometimes, what starts out as a crazy, passionate love turns into something much more negative.

The way we express love is wrapped up in our personalities and the things that have shaped us. There are people who constantly have to touch the person they love and don't care if it's in public. And then there are others who aren't as affectionate but show their love in other ways, like baking their partner cookies or making sure that they always have the wine they like.

It can be good to know what kind of love your partner is capable of giving you. If they're not somebody who expresses their love verbally, you need to know so you won't get angrier and angrier when they don't say that they love you.

Here's what his zodiac sign says about the type of love he's capable of giving you.
