First Dates by Sign

Had it with hanging out, hooking up and other sub-standard forms of romantic connection? How about arranging a bona fide first date that's sure to make your intended's heart sing? Play to the object of your affection's astrological sign in planning your date and you'll have 'em eating out of your hand in no time. Remember -- Sun signs are only the start. If you know the Moon, Venus, Ascendant or other sign energies prominent in your love interest's horoscope, use them in your date planning, too.

Aries (March 20 to April 19)
Skip that first get-to-know-you coffee date and go straight to skydiving or the racetrack. Active Aries also loves any activity that requires physical courage, like firing guns at a shooting range or swinging swords at a medieval faire. A little friendly competition lights Aries' fire, too -- think golf course or bowling alley. Aries likes to be first at everything, so take your Ram to the latest new restaurant or club in town.

If an Aries asks you out: Within reason, be as game as possible to try whatever the Ram suggests.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Good food, good music and comfortable furniture -- no rickety old movie seats -- will go far to please Taurus. If you've got the cash, a night at the opera will appeal. If not, a quiet walk in a lush natural setting should satisfy a Bull, and may even lead to holding hands. Don't think you'll be rushing off to bed, though -- Taurus wants to know you share similar values first. This sign prizes domestic comforts above sexual gymnastics.

If a Taurus asks you out: Wear a cotton shirt and bring flowers.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it's Gemini's middle name. Take your Twin to a lecture or a taping of a TV game show. Fly kites, blow bubbles or learn to juggle. Hop in the car to explore local landmarks. Most importantly, be sure to ask your Gemini plenty of questions.

If a Gemini asks you out: Be lively and don't bring up serious subjects too soon.

Cancer (June 21 to July 21)
Woo your Cancer out of the house with the promise of a good meal and the chance to do something familiar. Visit museums, historic sites or antique shows. Crabs take pride in their local community, so attend patriotic, political or family-oriented events. Do a walk-a-thon that raises money for a good cause. Talk about your family tree -- or better yet, ask Cancer about his or hers.

If a Cancer asks you out: Pay attention to the feelings behind Cancer's words.

Leo (July 22 to Aug. 22)
Leo emerged from the womb holding a sign reading "Born to Date." This classic sign of romance enjoys dressy events and fine dining. Sports, gambling and the theater appeal to the Lion's playful side. Dress well with a touch of glamour and don't be afraid to stand out. After all, when you're out with a Leo, you're both on the red carpet.

If a Leo asks you out: Soak up Leo's warmth but be sure to generate your own light, too.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Usually better at work than play, Virgo will love a text message during the workday to set up an after-work rendezvous. Fitness or cooking classes will spark health conscious Virgo's interest. Since Virgos love to classify items and figure out how things work, head to a guided nature walk, flower show or technology expo. Virgo's little secret: Put the high-strung Virgin at ease and they'll follow you anywhere.

If a Virgo asks you out: Be sincere but avoid critical comments.
