If you are looking for a deeply romantic relationship, you would be well advised not to fall in love with a Virgo. Virgo lovers are practical rather than passionate. When you dine out you can forget about the soft lights and violins. The typical Virgo will pick a restaurant because it is clean, comfortable and serves good food.

Virgo man looks for class in a woman – very much a case of quality rather than quantity. He expects her to be intelligent, well-groomed, punctual and very definitely not one of the boys. He hates sloppy thinking, exaggeration and sexual ploys or ruses.

Virgo woman does not like to be rushed or bulldozed into a relationship. She is not impressed by risqué remarks or off-colour jokes. She may nit-pick about minor matters but when it comes to her loved ones, nothing is too much trouble. She is modest, faithful, straightforward and, once committed, will love her man for life.

Virgos do not play games with their partners. They are honest and expect honesty in return. However, despite being highly critical of others, they are not very good at accepting criticism themselves. It is, indeed, possible to wound a Virgo deeply by analysing their appearance, attitudes or behaviour.

They also tend to be far too critical of themselves, a characteristic which can get in the way of many a potential relationship. An inherent fear of rejection means that they are often reluctant to reveal their true feelings. Both male and female Virgos could do with a regular injection of self-confidence.
