Okay, so I finally went on three dates with this Virgo guy from the yoga studio, right? Total crash course in Virgo communication. Here’s how I figured out his weirdly specific language thing.
Observing the Patterns First
Before even trying anything fancy, I just paid attention to how he talks. Noticed he’d say stuff like “Thursday works if rain doesn’t delay my 7pm meeting.” Dude gives caveats for EVERYTHING. Also caught him reorganizing salt shakers at the cafe while explaining his vacation plans – classic Virgo multitasking.
My Big Mistake Early On
Made the dumb mistake of texting him vague stuff like “Wanna hang out sometime?” Got left on read for 48 freakin’ hours. Learned fast that open-ended questions stress them out. Felt like I’d asked him to defuse a bomb blindfolded.
The Fix That Actually Worked
Switched to hyper-specific language based on his patterns. Instead of “How was your day?” tried:
- “Saw that client project deadline was today – how’d the 3pm presentation go?”
- “You mentioned wanting Thai food – new place opened on Maple St with vegan options”
Boom! Instant replies. Got paragraphs back about the exact meeting room temperature and spice levels at that restaurant.
Weird Virgo Things I Embraced
Started mirroring his quirks in small ways:
- Gave exact timings like “Coffee at 3:45pm?” instead of “later”
- Used bullet points when texting multi-step plans
- Asked permission before calling – “Can I explain this in 1 call at 5pm?”
He actually smiled during our last date. Legit smiled! Said he appreciated the “clarity and intentionality.” Peak Virgo compliment.
What Finally Clicked
Realized Virgo men don’t “chat” – they exchange data. His version of flirting? Correcting the barista’s latte recipe then showing me the ideal milk frothing temperature on his phone. Didn’t take it personally when he ghosted my meme – sent him infographics about Jupiter instead. Immediate nerd engagement.
Still not calling it a success story yet, but at least now I know why he carries four pens in different colors. The black one’s apparently for “non-negotiable items.” Should’ve guessed.
