For instance, you could say, "I need to go to Walmart but I don't think I'm up for it today. Every time I go I always get mobbed by crazed fans. Life is tough when you're as glamorous as me. I guess it's just my burden to bear."

Easy peasy, you don`t attract them, they choose you based on their quirk of the month.

But treat as if you are approaching a skittish horse. Any loud noises, sudden moves or chucking a saddle on our backs before we know what's happening will result in a quick bolt to safety, as if some large predatory wildcat has jumped on our backs and you will be left standing 3 miles away in a cloud of dust

May I suggest a period of 3 months!!

Please relax, be yourself and be a friend.

You have to spell out your interest.
We just think you're being friendly.....

Whereas with the Aqua it just flies completely over our heads.
All my life people have said
"But he's madly in love with you can't you see that?
And I would be

Unless it's accompanied by a brass band, full gospel choir and a banner bearing airplane formation flypast....
Nope...didn't notice at all.
Are you sure they are not just being friendly??

I don't wanna be doomed to the friends zone! How do I avoid the friend zone?

Please enlighten this cow.

the thing about being friend first I think it is because we fear emotions. in every form. being friend first means we are on a safe ground. you are human, I am human, you have your life, I do too, and somewhere, along the way, we can eventually come closer, without bringing loads of emotions.

Emotions are not rationals, sometimes they are positives, sometimes not, emotions change according to the wind. or like the tide of the ocean.

aquarius envision life through their thoughts, based on some unvisible principle. something ought to, should, is or is not... it all comes from ... ideas. that is rational. emotions do not fit here. they are experienced, enjoyed or not accordingly, but they are not the primary drive for an air sign. they lack detachment. they are the very thing that detachment tries to detach itself from.

love, on the other hand, is more "rational" than emotions. It depends which kind of love you talk about of course. but let's assume we talk about the real one.

If the relationship is solely based on emotions, we aqua have enough detachment from the moment to realise, rationalise that those emotions will come and go, like the tide of an ocean. it is better to create a relationship based on something deeper than emotions with an aquarius. for example a common hobby, a common view on life, even the very fact to view life differently than most is a common enough "link" between you and me. but to have emotions for one another is not solid enough to secure the interest of an aquarius. emotions are great, and aqua will ride them, but they are not rational. and that is a problem.

in that sense aquarius enter relationship on a mental level.

I think aquarians are differents even between themselves. the lesson is "everyone is himself" or should be. that is common knowledge to every aqua, and that is maybe the only common trait between aquas.

so aquarius does not mean necessarily being "real", calm and collected, it means you "consciously act according to your awareness of who you are" i.e. you are your unique self. and you are ok with it, that is your gift.

like someone said above, to get the attention of an aqua, beyond the "friend zone" it is ok to be a bit leo like. it is ok. it is fine if you are glad of yourself sometimes. it doesn't hurt anyone, and it is a bit quirky (?) to some extent. don't over do it but it is ok in and of itself.

Joke, banter, talk philosophy with us, talk about how fascinating the stars are, how they're gasses and everything...about art, and random things, talking about your expensive car wont do much for us. Michieviousness is a big one for me at least. Make me respect you as a human being, I agree with whoever said that aquarians see men (or women) as human beings first and bed partners second.

Let me see what you're passionate about and as long as it even remotely connects to humanity (which isn't hard) we'll be fascinated by you and happy for you. We like weirdness, so feel free to let yourself go, that'll be the thing that attracts us the most, is if you seem free. Free within yourself, free of cliches or at free to acknowledge them. We like people who want to go dancing in the rain or decide to take a painting class where you can only use your toes.

We like intellect I suppose, and I've found that we're often a little insecure. So don't be sure that we're able to read your subtle hints that you like us, just be blunt. We generally like 75% of the population but you need to get us thinking of you as a good friend first before we can even consider being with you. Spontaneity is awesome and so is creativity, like I said, make us respect you as human beings and then the fun can really begin.
