The men have a harder time with commitment that the women, but we are all half animal so we tend to wander until we find that someone we have bond with forever.

That said, there are some guidelines if you find yourself with an Archer.

1) Make sure you want a commitment and you are willing to put up with their wandering (not in the sexual way, but we do need long leashes).

2) Make sure you understand that even in a commitment we tend to attract people and we are attracted to conversations. DO NOT try to drown that aspect in our fiery personality. It will only backfire on you and you will be left without us. We love to find out about people- so when approached we will smile and ask questions - if you are insecure or insanely possessive, then you better cut the relationship short.

3) Find out what the terms 'dating', 'relationship', 'friendship','seeing each other' and commitment means to us.

For example- to me being in a dating relationship means I can date other people. If I am seeing someone then I am more apt to stay true to that person unless we have established lines. Be up front! If you don't want us to date others say "Hey, this needs to be exclusive" then be prepared for us to say.."Ok" or "Nah, that isn't what I want right now".

4) Don't mark us as your territory. We hate that and will rebel against it unless we have a major relationship underway. Don't hug us, cling to us or constantly have to be by our side at parties, get togethers or in public. Even in a commitment we like our space and when someone gives us that we are more likely to stick by them and we will for sure make them know how much we love them.

Be Vague and you will see us date other people. If you are hypocritical and you like to flirt, play kissy face or see other people and we will follow suit, not you make you jealous, but because you have made that apart of the rules.

If at any time we are uncomfortable, we will let you know..once maybe twice- then we bolt.

So I agree that most men can be faithful unless a determined woman wants him, then anything goes. Even then she has to have a dream, a plan of some kind or it's history.

Next time I'm with an Aqua I will have a 5 year plan.

Sag men are pretty honest but I am dating one and I know he is dating others. I don't mind because they know. But Sag men can be bossy and don't like to answer to anyone emotionally, or mentally, they are very different from Aqua men who like to be in charge mentally.

Sag men are more pleasers than Aqua men,

Remember what I said regarding the rules..Do not possess unless it is established. I call him 'my Taurus' because we are engaged and he and I belong to each other. I am his Saggie... Although he likes to say that he owns me and I just laugh.. before I could even retort with "One cannot own the wind" he said "I can even own the wind" LMAO....

Ahhh..well...he swept me off my feet. It was a blind date of sorts...I signed up for some online match-making thing as a joke (my brother urged me since I had been divorced for over a year and had only been dating a deadbeat Leo). Well...on the last day of April I get this e-mail...and this Taurus asks me out.

I politely declined- but we kept e-mailing each other back and forth and finally I agreed to meet him for dinner somewhere safe the next night. He was sad..but oh well..like i knew him

The next day we go back and forth ..but I was already kicking myself for not going out him the night before (I had this "feeling"). Anyway, so we agree on a time that night to meet- but he needed to find his ID..somehow it was lost when he was at a club and since he is in the Military it was a necessary item (Oddly enough..I had dreamed about this- his losing his ID).

As it turned out- he couldn't find his ID and he had to leave to visit family in NC (I was in Maryland) the next day- Sunday. He was late getting back to me, so I decided to just blow him off and do my own thing. But he left these really sweet messages, but I still refused to call him back. I even told my mom and she said 'Well honey, maybe this time you can NOT throw the baby out with the bath water and just see what happened".

Well, I called him back- and we talked for 8 hours. He later told me that it was that night he fell in love with me. (Crazy Bull)...

Soooo...he decides to rearrange his vacation. He was getting ready to go to NC and then onto visit friends as he made his way to his next post assignment at Ft. Huachuca, AZ. I figured I would look him up when I went to visit my dad (who has just moved to a suburb of Phoenix). He said " I really need to meet you and I would love to take you out to dinner..can we do it Monday? I will make a special trip up from NC".

Well..how could I say no to that?

So he did...and we had a wonderful dinner and date..it was amazing. It was on that date that he told me he loved me. I was like "if you think that will get me into bed you are nuts" lol...

He later told me that he knew I would be his wife about halfway through dinner. Good thing he didn't tell me that, because on top of the "I love you" thing..I would have "ran" home.

As it turned out our date lasted until he left on Thursday. 4 days...wow..and I realized that I had never met anyone that I enjoyed so much. I even called in sick for work, which is something this Virgo rising- anal retentive lady does not do.

On May 21st I flew out to meet him in Tucson for his birthday. He had already kidded me that he wanted to marry me and I said "Not until you present me with a ring". I figured that would shut him up and he would quit playing..even though I also knew he would be the one I marry.

Well...I get off the plane and start walking to the end of the security area. I see him standing there with this sheepish grin. I also notice that there is a big bulge in his pocket (hee hee) and the store ladies are also watching...as are several other people..and the security people....I was like "Oh no...I can't believe this".

yep...he said "which present do you want? Number 1 or Number 2? I picked the wrong one at first- it was a painted pony..but then he gave them the other one..the bulge..which was a diamond engagement ring surrounded by a beautiful enhancer. He had sent me a pic- but I thought he was kidding..

He asked me..and I said yes!!! Was I freaked? Yep..a bit..and I still give him a few heart palpatations..it has to be hard being a Bull and loving an Archer - but it's fun..

I haven't regretted my decision. I moved out here to be with him and I love it. This town bites the big one..but other than that - it's cool. We are looking at a June or December 2005 Wedding.

Thank you so much for the offer. Please list those dates for June, November and December 2005. I like the idea of a Moon in Taurus Sun in Saggie date.

Eventually I outgrew him and sent him wandering on his own merry path. He has since met up with a Leo (at least two fire signs, which was better than one fire, one water). It is rumoured that his new squeeze's ex played up on her too. Hmm, looks as though she's still attracting the same type.

C'mon Scorp, dont be so hard on the guy ... maybe he just needed room to shoot his bright, sparkly arrows or needed an adoring fan following. They are xotic creatures, these archers and you need special kind of care and loving freedom to nurture them.

rofl, maya-v, this man was a financial and emotional vampire......unfortunately we had two children together, otherwise, he'd be on that ship and sailing awwwwaaaayyyyyy forevvvvvver.

I'm not the one to give you advice as to whether your ship has come in. As soon as I learn a man is a Sag, yikes, I run the other way.
