The good, the bad, the Aries.

So you're in love with an Aries, huh? God have mercy on you.

Just kidding. They are fantastic people to love. They will literally ram you into a corner with our love. (Oh, puns.)

Anyway, now that you're involved, there are a few things you should know about what it's like to love an Aries.

The first (and most important) thing is that we are the best lay of all zodiac signs in astrology. I'm fairly confident this is public, astrologically-proven, agreed-upon knowledge, but I just wanted to restate here so just everyone's on the same page. Or solar system. Whatever.

Now that's that out of the way, let's dig a little deeper into Aries love horoscope compatibility, shall we begin?

Here are 13 brutal truths you should know about dating and loving an Aries, the fiery Ram and most fierce of all zodiac signs in astrology.

1. Their fiery.

They are a fire sign, so this should come as no surprise. They've been described as "fiery" their whole life, which after many years of introspection, I'vecome to realize is both a compliment and an insult. 

On the pro side, this means when they walk into a room, they bring a lot of energy. Mostly good energy. Some bad, depending on our mood.

They are the people you want to invite to your party if you want that party to be way more fun. On the con side, they have a lightning-quick temper.

2.they have an ego.

The intro of this piece should've alerted you to this fact but I will restate it for your convenience: Aries women need people who both stroke our egos when they need them to (which, admittedly, is a lot) but also can keep them humble.

Have fun with that balancing act!

3. Their adventurous.

They will try almost anything once. But if we don't like it (or they aren't that good at it) the first time around, they probably won't want to do it again.

4. They get bored easily.

If you're not engaging them or having a conversation that they think is interesting ... next!

There'll be polite about it (they do have manners, mostly), but there're quick to move on if you can't hold their attention.

5. There're "big picture" people.

Small details don't interest them. They think broadly about projects, ideas, and goals and what it will take to get the job done.

Minor details are less interesting to them. There'll take care of 'em if they have to — after all, they value accountability — but there'll probably do so begrudgingly.

6. There're aggressive.

At getting what they want, when they want, and how they want it. Please step aside and get out of the way. Best not to compete with them because you'll probably lose.

7. They love hard.

They fall quickly and enthusiastically and love with a deep passion. They love love.

When there're in love with you, you will know it and feel it in the depths of your soul.

8. There're excited about life.

Honestly, there're excited about everything: travel, literature, theater, interesting people, the world, you. Most everything excites them and they want to jump in full-force.

That's why there're big picture people: if they concern themselves with trivialities, they won't have time to experience life at its fullest.

9. We're loyal ... to a fault.

They can hold grudges for years, people. Years. And what theu lack in physical strength, they make up for in words — they will slay you with our tongue.

The enemies of their friends are also their enemies; be forewarned.

10. There're assertive.

That's just a nice way of saying that they say almost anything they want to, especially around people who know them extremely well.i

They mght lock it up around your parents or your boss because apparently "restraint" is a societal norm (who knew?) but understand that it's so freaking difficult for the! to not say how we feel. Best to step in and save us when we're about to explode from politeness.

11. They work really REALLY hard.

Hire an Aries, give them something they're passionate about, and they will work harder for you than anyone else in the room.

Caveat: This only works if an Aries is doing work that fulfills and stimulates him/her. Otherwise, all bets are off.

12. They have no patience.

Literally none. They want everything done yesterday and if they can bother to show up to a restaurant/movie/meeting on time (probably early), why can't you?

Do not even get them started on the rage they feel sitting in traffic or in a grocery store line. It's a physical ailment that has no treatment except cowbell and not making us wait.

13. They need their space.

They are fiercely independent, which means you must, must, must have your own life.

If they feel like a caged animal, they will flee the moment you crack open the door even a smidge. This means their usually attracted to someone who's got his stuff together (plus, his own interests and hobbies) and can give them breathing room to live our own life, in addition to the one they share with you.
