Okay so Monday morning I’m drinking coffee and see this Aries love horoscope advice floating around. Normally I’d scroll past but this week said “simple tips” so thought, why not try it? My relationship’s been kinda stable but boring lately. Let’s see if this shakes things up.
First Tip Was Talking Time
The article said Aries folks like me gotta schedule real talk with partners. “No distractions.” So Tuesday night I drag my girlfriend off the couch away from her true crime show. Big mistake. She was right in the middle of finding out if the butler did it! We sit at the kitchen table. Awkward silence. Then I blurt out “How’s work?” It’s like I just…forgot how to talk? She stared at me like I grew horns. We ended up ordering pizza and laughing about how forced it felt. Not exactly deep conversation but hey, we talked. Sorta.
Then Came The “Spontaneous” Date
Wednesday’s advice said “surprise your partner with adventure!” Being an Aries, I LOVE this idea. I get hyped. Plan to take her hiking after work. Forgot three things:
- It poured rain all afternoon
- She hates bugs
- She wore fancy shoes to the office
Plan B was drive-thru burgers and sitting in my car watching the windshield wipers. She said it was weirdly romantic though? Score one for the horoscope? Maybe?
Boundaries Thing Tripped Me Up
Thursday tip told fiery Aries people (me) to “respect emotional boundaries.” Sounds smart. My girlfriend vents about her coworker stealing her lunch again. My instinct? Immediately jump in – “Want me to call HR? I can email them right now!” Got the death stare. Remembered the boundary thing halfway through opening my work email. Shut the laptop slowly. Asked “Do you want advice or just to vent?” Apparently she just needed to rant. Who knew? Not this Aries. Took effort not to problem-solve.
Friday Reflection Time
Alright, week’s over. Did the horoscope magic happen? Nah. Didn’t feel like some cosmic shift. But:
- We did carve out weirdly dedicated pizza-and-awkwardness time
- Got reminded plans fall apart but car dates count
- Learned not to charge headfirst into HER coworker drama
It’s just simple stuff, really. Easy to forget when life’s busy. Maybe that’s the point? Not magic, just…paying attention differently. Honestly? Might try next week’s horoscope too. See what ridiculous simple thing it tells this impulsive ram to do.
