10 Reasons to Love Your Aries Partner

From Cosmopolitan

If your bae was born between March 21 and April 19, they're an Aries, and there's a whole lot to adore about the assertive fire sign. Here are 10 things that make dating an Aries an especially wild ride, no matter what sign you are.

1. They are super-confident. Fire signs (meaning Aries, but also Leos and Sagittarians) don't tend to suffer in the self-esteem department, but Aries tend to be especially sure of themselves. Even when they aren't fully clued in on something (be it family gossip or the plot of the Netflix show everyone's bingeing), they pretend they are, because they always want to come off as 100 percent ~in the know~.

2. They're incredibly competitive. If you want to be with someone who doesn't shy away from a challenge (from getting the highest score in a game of Cards Against Humanity to charming your parents), you want an Aries who will take it on with one goal in mind: win.

3. They're playful. Aries is the first sign in the whole zodiac and as a result tend to have a wide-eyed, child-like perspective on life, which means having fun is one of their top priorities. Who doesn't like to have fun?

4. They're thrill-seekers. Not a bad thing if you enjoy the occasional trip to Six Flags ... or more frequent, pulse-racing sex play.

5. You're probably turned on by how ballsy they are. Aries are natural-born fighters, ruled by Mars, who was of course the god of war. So, when it comes to standing up for what they believe in, Aries do not fool around.

6. They are all about living their best life. Only the best - restaurant reservations, concert tickets, travel accommodations - for an Aries, and he believes in treating you to the same.

7. They're a little bit old-school when it comes to romance. Aries guys tend to embrace their masculinity and enjoy the lady yin to their super-dude yang. This means they'll be particularly appreciative when you choose high heels over flats, an LBD over jeans, red lipstick, etc.

8. They're extroverts. Aries can definitely be the life of a party. They're anything but shy and will gleefully engage others in a fiery debate.

9. They're impulsive. Unfortunately, this could mean looking before he leaps into a risky purchase, move, or saying something off the top of his head that gets him in hot water. But it could mean booking a last-minute trip to Vegas for the weekend or surprising you with a gift he just knew he had to get you.

10. They're resilient. No matter what curveballs life throws an Aries way, they'll do what they need to do - even go to battle, if that's what it takes - to get back on top, which is seriously hot.
