He’ll typically try to strike up a conversation with you—he loves to talk—and ask you all kinds of questions to figure out more about who you are and what you’re like. Be open and honest with him and he’ll be entranced.

If you’re going out on a date, you might wear a long, flowing skirt with light, strappy sandals and a light wrap sweater in a pastel color. For a more casual outing, try leggings or capri pants along with a loose, flowy blouse.

As a Water sign, you tend to be focused more on intuition and emotion. But he’s an Air sign, ruled by logic and reason, and he doesn’t tend to think about emotion too much. For him, this lends a certain magic and mystery to your ideas. A Gemini takes pride in the breadth of his knowledge, so you’re unlikely to mention anything that he doesn’t know a little bit about. Your fanciful take on things will intrigue him all the more.

When you’re friends, you can focus on the things you have in common and also learn where you’ll need to compromise if you want a romantic relationship to work. The strong foundation also ensures that, even if a romance isn’t in the cards, you won’t hurt each other in the process.

Use your strong Piscean intuition to pick up on the things that are important to him and ask questions about them. He’ll feel like you understand him well because you know what he values. Snare a Gemini by asking him questions that appeal to his dual-minded nature, like “Do you prefer this or that?” Whether you ask about pizza toppings or travel destinations, a Gemini will dive into the conversation.

Twins tend to really come into themselves when they’re around people—this is his natural element. He might not ever really understand why you don’t enjoy social situations, but he’ll certainly be happy to accompany you.

Be forewarned that Geminis tend to be the kind of guys who do their thinking and reasoning aloud—meaning, it’s usually better if you catch that flick at home than in a crowded theater where you might disturb others.

Choose a trivia game if you really want to lose. Geminis are sponges of random information about a lot of different subjects, so he’s sure to win. Geminis love to have fun, so appeal to his playful nature to catch his interest.

When he expresses interest in something, jump on it. Did he enjoy that online documentary about a new painting technique? Look for local art studios that teach it. Many art studios offer introductory classes for couples so he can meet new people as well. Making friends with other couples gives you ready-made double-date opportunities.

He’ll see that you respect his freedom if you aren’t texting him constantly to check in or find out what he’s doing. Even asking when he’ll be back can seem too controlling to a Gemini (who likely couldn’t tell you anyway).

Most people associate surprise parties with birthdays, but you don’t have to wait for that. Pulling together a little surprise for no reason at all is even more unexpected and really shows that you care.
