If you are a woman looking for a knight in shining armour to whisk you away on a snow-white charger, then an Aries male is the answer. Likewise, if you are a man seeking a damsel, not so much in distress as in control, then find yourself an Aries female.

Despite being perfectly capable of carrying her own suitcases through life, Aries woman is a born romantic. She loves all the quixotic touches – the champagne, red roses and string quartets. She will, however, quickly tire of anyone who worships her with blind devotion. She may be perfectly prepared to make the first move when it comes to dating the man of her dreams but she still expects him to be a man.

Aries male is among the most passionate in the Zodiac. His need for sexual fulfilment is as great as his need for professional achievement. In love, he is faithful and forthright, most unlikely to stray – unless the magic of the relationship begins to wear off. He is an idealist and, having found his ideal, he puts her on the pedestal of his choosing and is prepared to indulge her every whim. He does not, however, wish to be disenchanted by having to view the object of his adoration in hair rollers or shaving her legs.

Aries man and Aries woman both enjoy a challenge. Their romantic interest will be intensified by anyone who plays hard to get. They are not impressed by playboys or playgirls but are both suckers for a lame duck or a lost cause.
