As a fire sign with a lot of energy, Aries might want to blow off some steam (and nerves) before a first date. According to Gerdes, the best way for the ram to do that is with a workout.

Taureans are creatures of habit, which means they probably have their whole first date routine down to a T. Having a regime helps keep the earth sign grounded, and honestly, it sounds like they’ve got it all figured out.

Geminis are naturally great communicators and for that reason, they probably won’t spend much time preparing conversation topics ahead of time. “Their date can expect to hear recent topics and curiosities that have piqued their interest,” says Gerdes. “They are the most likely to cover a lot of random trivia and conversational terrain.”

According to Gerdes, Cancer will likely prep for a first date by cleaning the house — in case, you know — and if you’re lucky, the water sign may even prepare a homemade treat for you, too.

If there’s one thing Leos are gonna do on a first date, it’s look good. “It’s important to Leos to look their best, and this definitely includes their lion’s mane,” Gerdes tells Bustle. “They are most likely to prepare by booking a blowout or having a friend help them get ready before the date.”

Virgos aren’t just looking to date — they’re looking for love. To help them decide whether or not they’ve found a potential love match, Gerdes says the earth sign will come equipped with a list of questions that they’ve prepared beforehand. “This helps them not waste their time and energy and leans into their natural organizational talents,” the astrologer says.

The always indecisive Libra will ask everyone they know for advice before meeting someone for the first time. Tips on what they should wear, how they should greet their date, and whether or not they should offer to split the bill will likely lead to some questions. Because, after all, the air sign will question everything, per Gerdes.

As a secretive water sign, Scorpios won’t tell anyone they’re seeing someone. They don’t like all the nosey questions that always follow a first date and they don’t want to feel pressured to bring their new flame around their friends and family, either.

Free-spirited Sagittarians love trying new things, so Gerdes says you can expect the fire sign to prepare for a date by researching all the best new restaurants in town.

As a regimented and disciplined earth sign, no one knows how to prep for a date better than a Capricorn. “With a hawk eye on their schedule and future plans, it’s likely that Capricorn will prepare their day with precision surrounding the date and give themselves adequate time to get ready,” says Gerdes. “They may even be planning the following date in advance.” Typical sea goat.

As an eccentric air sign, there are a lot of unforgettable qualities about Aquarians, starting with the way they dress. That’s why Aquas will likely spend hours putting together the perfect outfit for a date, and as one of the best thrift shoppers of the zodiac, they might even stop by their favorite vintage store beforehand.

Spiritual Pisces want to be their best selves on a first date, so they’ll probably spend some time centering themselves to “quell any anxious energy” beforehand. “Indulging with tea, using deep breathing, or listening to music that speaks to their soul are pre-date rituals for Pisces,” says Gerdes.
