Okay, so today I wanna talk about dating Virgo women ’cause honestly? I totally bombed at first. My buddy set me up with Sarah last month – sharp, organized, kinda intimidating. Remembered my ex was a Virgo too, and wow did I mess THAT up. Figured I’d actually prepare this time instead of winging it.
The Prep Work
Started by asking my Virgo cousin Lisa straight up: “What makes you guys tick?” She rolled her eyes but dumped ALL the tea:
- Details matter – Like noticing her new glasses or remembering how she takes coffee
- Flakiness = death – Showing up late? Canceling last minute? Forget it
- Clean your damn car – Seriously, she WILL notice crumbs
Researched like my life depended on it. Found old Reddit threads (lol) where Virgos roasted guys for:
- Sloppy texts with typos
- Taking them to noisy burger joints when they like quiet wine bars
- Forgetting birthdays even when it’s literally in their Instagram bio
The Date Night Experiment
Alright, D-day with Sarah. Did NOT repeat past mistakes:
- Location: Chose this bookstore cafe she mentioned once – quiet but cool
- Prep: Showed up 20 mins early, wiped coffee stains off my phone screen
- Convo: Asked SPECIFIC questions about her pottery class instead of “how’s work?”
When she talked about her toxic ex? Didn’t interrupt with my own stories. Nodded, said “That sounds really frustrating” – boom. Her shoulders relaxed instantly. Total lightbulb moment.
The Weird Win
Here’s the kicker: After splitting dessert (I let her pick first), I pulled out my planner to schedule date two instead of vague “let’s hang sometime.” Her face lit up like I’d given her diamonds. Virgos apparently LOVE decisiveness.
Biggest surprise? It wasn’t exhausting! Being thoughtful actually saved energy. No second-guessing texts, no panicking over gifts. Last Saturday she texted: “I appreciate how you listen.” Never heard that from my chaotic Gemini ex.
Still not perfect though. Almost blew it Tuesday when I rescheduled gym time during our call – that eyebrow raise? Scarier than my mom’s “disappointed” voice. Note to self: punctuality isn’t negotiable. Ever.
