How I Started Researching Virgo Dating Traits
Okay so I’ve been single since last Thanksgiving and figured maybe trying astrology matching wasn’t the worst idea. Last week I sat down with my coffee and thought – why not figure out how Virgos actually work in relationships? Everyone says they’re complicated but maybe there’s a pattern.
First thing I did was dig up actual Virgo friends’ dating stories. Texted five Virgos I know asking “what makes you stick with someone?” Got three replies that basically said:
- “If they remember small stuff like how I take my coffee”
- “When they don’t make me clean up after them”
- “Not being late to dates – seriously just be on time”
Putting It To The Test
Found this dating app where you can filter by zodiac signs. Set it to Virgo only and created the most brutally honest profile possible – included pics of my messy bookshelf and straight-up said I’m bad at texting back. Figured if Virgos want perfection I’d show them imperfection upfront.
Matched with Sarah (Virgo sun, Virgo moon – double trouble). First date I:
- Showed up 15 minutes early
- Remembered she hated cilantro from her profile
- Admitted I’d Googled “Virgo date tips” right before coming
She laughed and said it was the least annoying first date she’d had in months.
What Actually Worked
After three dates with different Virgos, here’s what clicked:
Planning is everything – When I suggested hiking next weekend? Bad move. When I said “I booked us for mini-golf Tuesday at 7 and that taco place you mentioned after” – that got actual excitement.
Criticism isn’t personal – When Mark (another Virgo) said my shoes looked cheap and then showed me his favorite shoe site – that was his way of flirting. I thanked him and sent him a pic when I bought new ones – he sent back three heart emojis.
Epic Fail Moment
Tried surprising Amanda (another Virgo match) by showing up early at her place with breakfast. Big mistake. She opened the door in pajamas and messy hair – “I schedule everything including shower time, this isn’t romantic it’s disruptive.” Lesson learned: spontaneity = stress for Virgos.
Final Thoughts
After a month of Virgo dating experiments:
- Yes they notice EVERY detail but use it to show you care
- Their “criticism” is actually them fixing things they like
- Planning dates like a project manager gets points
But here’s the kicker – none of my Virgo dates lasted. Turns out they love order but I thrive in chaos. Was seeing a Virgo girl when my Sagittarius ex slid into my DMs for a concert. Went. Had messy, disorganized fun. Forgot to text Sarah back for two days. She unmatched me saying “Your chaotic energy stresses my Mercury rising.” Fair enough. Astrology matches work until you remember human chemistry doesn’t give a crap about star signs.
