Being in a relationship with someone who isn’t particularly romantic can be challenging, especially if you value romance and emotional connection. Each zodiac sign has its own way of dealing with this kind of situation. Some might be patient and understanding, while others could feel frustrated and try to change things. Let’s explore how each zodiac sign handles an unromantic boyfriend and how they cope with the lack of romantic gestures.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
How Aries Handles It: Aries is spontaneous and loves excitement, so dealing with an unromantic boyfriend can feel like a major letdown. They won’t hesitate to speak up and express their frustration if they feel their needs aren’t being met. Aries will demand more attention and may take the lead in planning romantic moments to show their boyfriend how it’s done. If things don’t improve, they may even consider moving on to someone who matches their passion and enthusiasm.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
How Taurus Handles It: Taurus is all about comfort, security, and affection, and they expect their partner to show love through small, thoughtful gestures. If their boyfriend is unromantic, Taurus will likely get frustrated but will remain calm and patient. They’ll try to communicate their needs, hoping to inspire their partner to step up. If their efforts don’t lead to change, Taurus may start feeling emotionally distant and may struggle with resentment over time.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
How Gemini Handles It: Gemini thrives on mental stimulation and playful energy. If their boyfriend is unromantic, they may start to feel bored and disconnected. Rather than confronting the issue directly, Gemini might try to lighten the mood by making jokes or using humor to encourage romantic gestures. They’ll subtly hint at what they need and might even start seeking excitement and attention from other people, leaving their unromantic boyfriend feeling left out.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
How Cancer Handles It: Cancer is deeply emotional and nurturing, and they crave love and affection in return. If their boyfriend isn’t romantic, Cancer will likely become withdrawn and start questioning the relationship. They might try to make things work by giving their partner more love and care, hoping it will spark a change. However, if their emotional needs aren’t being met, Cancer may start pulling away and looking for emotional fulfillment elsewhere.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
How Leo Handles It: Leo loves to feel adored and appreciated, so an unromantic boyfriend can quickly crush their ego. They might initially try to spice things up with bold romantic gestures of their own, hoping their boyfriend will catch on. If their efforts go unnoticed, Leo may become resentful and demand more attention, either by expressing their dissatisfaction directly or seeking admiration elsewhere. Leo thrives on romance and won’t settle for less than they deserve.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
How Virgo Handles It: Virgo is practical and likes things to be organized and well-planned. They may not openly express frustration with an unromantic boyfriend, but they’ll quietly make an effort to show him how it’s done. Virgo might plan thoughtful dates or small surprises, hoping their boyfriend will follow suit. If they’re met with indifference, they’ll feel unappreciated and may become critical or start focusing more on practical aspects of the relationship rather than emotional ones.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
How Libra Handles It: Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and they deeply value romance in a relationship. If their boyfriend is unromantic, Libra will likely try to find subtle ways to encourage romantic gestures, such as planning a dreamy date or hinting at their desires. If their efforts are met with resistance, Libra will become disillusioned and may feel emotionally neglected, eventually seeking emotional fulfillment from outside the relationship.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
How Scorpio Handles It: Scorpio is intense and passionate, so they expect their partner to match their emotional depth. If their boyfriend is unromantic, Scorpio will feel hurt and betrayed, as they associate romantic gestures with emotional closeness. They may become possessive or distant, testing their boyfriend’s loyalty and commitment. Scorpio won’t hesitate to have a deep conversation about their needs, and if things don’t change, they may cut ties, believing they deserve someone who understands their intensity.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
How Sagittarius Handles It: Sagittarius values freedom and adventure, so a lack of romance might not affect them as much as it would other signs. However, if they’re in a serious relationship, they will start to feel restless and frustrated. Sagittarius might try to initiate fun and exciting activities, hoping their boyfriend will take the hint. If their boyfriend’s lack of romantic gestures continues, Sagittarius will become bored and may look for excitement elsewhere, either in the relationship or outside of it.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
How Capricorn Handles It: Capricorn is practical and values stability in a relationship, so they won’t make a big fuss about their boyfriend being unromantic. Instead, they will likely try to solve the problem by discussing the issue calmly and logically. Capricorn will express their desire for more romantic gestures and might offer suggestions on how to improve the relationship. If their boyfriend is unwilling to change, Capricorn may start to feel dissatisfied and consider whether the relationship is worth their time and effort.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
How Aquarius Handles It: Aquarius is independent and values intellectual connection over emotional displays. If their boyfriend is unromantic, they might not feel as hurt as other signs would. However, if the lack of romance affects their emotional connection, Aquarius may become distant and detached, seeking fulfillment from friends or activities outside the relationship. They’ll try to communicate their need for more emotional connection but will quickly detach if their boyfriend remains indifferent.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
How Pisces Handles It: Pisces is a hopeless romantic and believes in the power of love. If their boyfriend isn’t romantic, they’ll likely try to shower him with affection, hoping to inspire a change. Pisces will become emotionally drained if their efforts aren’t reciprocated, often feeling neglected and unappreciated. They might retreat into their own world, daydreaming about romance elsewhere or finding comfort in creative pursuits. If their emotional needs aren’t met, Pisces may lose interest and move on in search of the love they crave.
