For complete disclosure l'm aware that regardless of zodiac, if a person feels ready to commit then they will. I'd also like to add that l'm somewhat of an astrology, enneagram and MBTI nerd so l've done just “enough” research to understand the basics.
As for my inquiry, l'm a Gemini and my partner is an Aquarius meaning we’re both air signs and are compatible because of it. While I don’t know his enneagram type, I know his MBTI is INTP-A and I’m an ISTP-A. Because we’re air signs who derive pleasure from creativity and crave intellectual stimulation, this alone helps conversation flow naturally.
However because this is my first time intentionally dating another air sign, I’m wondering how I can keep him interested and get him to commit? From what I’ve observed, he “fits” the “Aquarian stereotype” of valuing independence, being headstrong in his beliefs and passive-aggressive. I’ve also firsthand experienced his ability to emotionally detach just as fast as the “attachment” developed. Only reason these aren’t “red flags” for me is because as a Gemini, I am (or can be) the same way at times.
In terms of compatibility, we equally have an eccentric sense of humour, are interested in art (although I’m more on the artistic spectrum because he likes the idea of it while I actively engage with drawing, producing music, journaling, painting, etc), enjoy travelling and learning new things. While we enjoy holding space with one another, in and out of intimate settings, a part of me wonders if it’s genuine or if he’s just mirroring me?
We text throughout the day, have two hour long conversations over the phone, make time to hang out and check out new restaurants together, take photos and videos for keepsake, can have hard conversations and navigate conflict healthily but he hasn’t asked any questions about myself. Any information about me he has are things I’ve voluntarily shared. Maybe I’m just worried because I actually like this guy but overall, is there a way to tell if an Aquarius likes you?
