Aries: You want to kiss the kind of person who uses any excuse to touch you. Who hugs you for a little too long. Who grabs your hand and dances with you, even when there isn’t any music playing.

They want to date someone with a big heart and an even bigger brain. They’re attracted to people who value knowledge.

There’s something keeping you apart, even though you both want to be together. Even though you’ve both made it clear that you have feelings for each other. Even though, whenever you see each other, the sexual tension is off the charts.

You didn’t date her, but whenever you saw her, you told her how pretty she looked and whenever you spent too long without her, you told her how much you missed her.

You’re allowed to be upset about him leaving. Even if he was never your official boyfriend. Even if he was an asshole who doesn’t deserve your tears.

If you were still alive, would I take more risks? Would I love without restriction, because I didn’t know the pain of being abandoned?

Commitment means that you are willing to stop playing the field, stop looking at your other options, and focus on this one relationship.

Taurus: You take way too long to make your move. You’re friendly instead of flirty. Sweet instead of sexy.

Wait for someone who plans dates, who plans dinners, who plans for the future, because they know you’re more than a temporary piece of their life.

I’m the kind of girl who takes twenty pictures in a row, decides that none of them are good enough, and then walks around feeling ugly for the rest of the day.

“She complained about how hot it was and took off her shirt. I finally got the hint and kissed her. I wish all girls would be that blunt.”

Aquarius: They miss you the most when they hear that song you loved. The song that you used to play during every car ride.

You shouldn’t have to censor what you say, because you’re still getting to know each other and you don’t want to weird them out.

You think I’m over you, because I don’t text you as much as I used to. I don’t like every picture or comment on every status. I go out of my way to avoid you.

“He would be barking at nothing in an empty hallway or he would get in the bathtub and refuse to leave. I think he saw ghosts.”

“Each victim had been shot in the head, thus leading police to determine that they had likely died before the fire was started.”

I’m tired of thinking about you every time a friend mentions her boyfriend, every time my mind drifts off during work, every time I see a kiss on a movie screen.

Cross off as many items as you can from the list. If you skip an item, you lose. If you tell anyone why you’re doing what you’re doing, you lose. If you’re unable to complete the entire list in under 24 hours, you lose.
