Make the first move.

If you text a Pisces man first, you’ll make him feel special. You know those guys who need to chase their crushes to stay interested? That's not Pisces. In fact, these guys can be a little shy, so send him a warm, friendly opener to kick things off between you two. Introduce yourself, use a subtle excuse to start a conversation, or invite him to hang out.
- If he doesn’t have your number, introduce yourself: “Hey! Hank, right? I got your # from Nikita. You seemed really sweet. I thought I’d reach out :)”
- If you have each other’s numbers but don’t text much, use a subtle conversation starter: “Leo, I just spotted your literal doppelganger on 5th! 😱”
- If the two of you have been texting, ask him to spend time with you: "Heading to Lori's Cafe rn. Want to split the world's best brownie with me? 😍"

Compliment him.

Pisces love spending time with kindhearted people. So, offer him a compliment or two. This'll make your Pisces crush feel amazing, and at the same time, you'll come off as a super sweet person to him. When something nice pops into your head, send it right over. Comment on his kindness or his intuitive nature, and he'll feel especially touched.
- “When I saw you today, I couldn’t stop thinking about how nice your eyes are. SO green. They look like a filter. 🥰”
- "You always really get it when I tell you how I feel. I love how perceptive you are."
- “I saw you helping Theo with his assignment today. Classic Ezra, always lending a hand. You've got such a big heart! 😽"

Ask him about his feelings.

In their heart of hearts, Pisces want to feel taken care of. Regularly check in on how he’s feeling over text. Show concern for his emotional wellbeing, and he'll feel like you're everything he's been searching for. Plus, you're proving that you're generous, loving, and emotionally intuitive—AKA, all things he admires in a crush.
- If you pick up on a shift in his mood, ask him about it: “I don’t mean to press, but you didn't quite seem like yourself today. Everything okay?”
- If you know he’s been feeling down, check in and offer to help: “Hey, Ali. I know it’s been a tough week. How was today? Can I bring you some ice cream?”
- When he mentions something that's been bothering him, follow up with him later on: “Hey, by the way, how did that chat with your sister go? Is she alright?"

Be vulnerable with your feelings.

Pisces is a water sign, so they’ll want to connect with you emotionally. Send a text that proves you’re emotionally open and intuitive. Wait for him to ask how you've been feeling or work it into conversation yourself. If you can, share complex, deep emotions and try to offer him some detail. So, instead of saying you’ve been “good,” explain that you’ve been “content, but a little restless."^{[1]

- If he asks about your day, take that as an opportunity to share your emotions: “I'm feeling a bit frustrated today. Hoping a warm tea turns things around. 🫖"
- If he asks a specific question, offer an emotionally insightful response: "Yes, my dog is feeling better! I tried to play it cool but I was really nervous for a while."
- Work some emotional vulnerability into a good morning text: "Good morning! I woke up feeling totally at peace today. How about you? 😺"

Anyone have experience dating a Pisces man?

WikiElephantReader409

Had my first date with a Pisces guy a few days ago and I think we really hit it off but I've never dated a Pisces before and would love any tips/advice/insight about what it's like. Can you tell me what to expect or watch out for?

WikiLorisRider448

I was married to Pisces for over 10 years until his passing (I'm a Capricorn). He was a big, buff biker, but all teddy bear once he let the tough exterior drop. Yes, very romantic! He would rather walk through a side lot of field and pick flowers for me than buy them! He enjoyed when I would praise him for his nature, or tell him exactly what I loved about him. But be sincere! Flattering him without honesty will pay him away; he will distrust you more. Do begin early by telling him one or two private things nobody else knows about you. If it's serious, he will feel like you're confidante and will open up quicker. But always maintain respect and loyalty, with honesty- sometimes the hard truth he'll appreciate more than if you sugarcoat it, as long as you use the correct soft tone of voice, and assure him that the truth is to help him, not harm him. My guy LOVED any little thing that showed I was thinking about him- a heart drawn on his napkin in his lunch bag, a few candies on his pillow if I went to bed early, smiley faces drawn on pancakes with chocolate chips, too! Home cooking and a real sense of maintaining our home really got kudos from him!
If you are intimate, be prepared to have your head completely blown off! But don't expect him to jump right in the sack with you. My guy had to be 100% that I was completely into him and totally loyal. Oh, yeah! This guy! He was my soulmate, my perfect match. We laughed all the time, danced to our music ('80's) in the grocery store aisles, sang at the top of our lungs when driving around. Our connection and commitment was palpable, and we were always being complimented on being such a far out couple!
My Pisces man was everything I dreamed of since I was a little girl- my Knight in shining armour who protected me and kept me safe, who played on his knees before bedtime, and rode a Harley and was completely covered in tattoos!!!
He WAS real. And although I was only gifted him from God for ten years, we lived reach day to the absolute maximum, always with each other, holding hands or my arm in his. He lived to kiss me, and just all his devotion made me want to do anything in the world just to see his smile and hear his laughter.
I can't think of a negative, except maybe don't be a nagger or try to win an argument based on emotional manipulation. My husband would walk out of the house. I knew he would come back, and would be loyal, but I would never know for how long he would be gone. And with him being in an MC, I always got a bit concerned. But Pisces are very trustworthy and honourable. He never needed a reason to keep a secret, and I knew everything about him. But he did have just one, and kept it for almost 3 1/2 years until after our 2nd anniversary ----- he had won a personal non-taxable, non-wage settlement with 9 zeros behind it and didn't know what to do with it!
We'd been living within our means, and he trusted me to find a good investment broker. We had an additional monthly draw from a percentage of the interest earned, and that was it. It allowed us to buy a more reliable vehicle, and go to the movies on the weekend. But grandkids started popping out, and Christmases were really a lot of fun!
You will never go wrong with a Pisces man, as long as you maintain your integrity and are always honest with him, show him how much you appreciate him, and remember how much he like to feel your hand touching him or lips kissing him. I miss my husband so terribly. I truly lost a huge piece of my heart and soul.

You can send a photo of something where you stay and say that it reminds you of the other person for whatever reason. Or say a song just came on and that reminded you of them. It will create a common ground for you to interact.
