Expert Interview} Astrologer Angel Eyedealism suggests that you "talk about ideas or concepts." So, for example, instead of launching into a deep conversation about love, "talk about the intellectual construct of love or the ivory tower of love to get [him] to relax a little bit." He's an air sign, so Aquarius feels that stimulating chats are the ultimate pastime, but he's not necessarily interest in full depth right off the bat.
- Ask him open-ended questions to kick off a discussion: “Do you think there’s any chance that we’re living in a simulation?”
- Aquarians are passionate about humanitarian issues, so show him you’re interested in them, too: “Did you read that new report about the climate crisis?”
- Men of this sign love a totally unique opinion, so share your wild theories: “I genuinely believe that K-12 school should be held outside. Here's why…”^{[2]

Expert Interview} When Aquarius realizes that you aren’t afraid to challenge his opinions, he’ll be absolutely obsessed, Scorpio. During your next conversation, listen closely for a chance to kick off a friendly (but rigorous!) debate. If he says something you disagree with, let him know.
- Challenge his opinion: “Do you really think that The Neon Skyline is Andy Shauf’s best album? I feel like The Party is hard to beat.
- Ask him to expand on his logic: “What specifically do you think makes The Neon Skyline better? I might have to challenge you on this one…”
- Scorpio, you’re quick and observant. Use this to your advantage! Stay civil, listen close, and poke holes in his argument when you can. He’ll love it.

Build a friendship first.

For Aquarius men, the best romances come from friendship. Scorpio, when you like someone, you’d probably rather jump right into an intense, emotional deep-dive. But to snag an Aquarius, move at his pace instead. Be a great friend to him first. Hang out platonically—whether that’s in groups or alone. Bond with him, integrate him into your circle, and wait for him to initiate romance.^{[4]

Expert Interview} However, astrologer Angel Eyedealism cautions against going too far down this path: "remember with Aquarians it's so easy to fall into the friend zone." Instead of forgoing the romantic connection all together, she suggests that you go slow and "breach physical or intimate emotionality with an Aquarius carefully."
- When your Aquarius crush is hanging out with his pals, tag along. Get to know him better through the people he cares most about.
- Then, return the favor. Invite him to hang out with your circle of friends. If you’ve got a group camping trip coming up, for instance, save him a spot in the tent.
- When you're alone, focus on getting to know who he is as a person—not as a boyfriend. Ask him questions while you bowl, hike, or go sightseeing.

Be mysterious.

- Evade personal questions when you’re getting to know each other: “I’m going to keep you in suspense for now. Maybe I’ll share that later on.”
- Turn the questioning back onto him: “This totally isn’t fair. Before I answer any more questions, you’re going to have to answer a few of mine.”
- Share personal details that’ll take him by surprise: “Because of my nose ring and tattoos, people are usually surprised to learn that I did the pageant circuit.”

Expert Interview} That's because he's ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation. Improv may not always come naturally to you, Scorpio—because as a fixed sign, you like structure and plans. Don’t worry, to impress an Aquarius, you don’t need to be naturally wild and free. Instead, use your organizational skills to plan surprises for him. Surprise him with thoughtful, quirky presents, a road trip, or a zany activity.
- Pick out a gift you know he’ll love and give it to him when he least expects it. On a random Tuesday, show up to hang with an action figure he's wanted.
- Tell him to block out his upcoming Saturday. Plan a silly trip. Buy snacks, make a playlist, and find directions to the world’s largest strawberry, for example.

Are Aquarius and Scorpio compatible?

Angel Eyedealism
Astrologer & Performance Artist

Aquarius is a sign that needs time and space for intellectual detachment. They need a partner who won't get too personal too fast; Aquarians hate that because they're all about thoughts and concepts and intellectualism. But because Aquarians are so in their head, you need to let them know that you're physically and sexually interested in them.

Meanwhile, Scorpio is a sign of obsession and of sexuality: they like intensity, they like passion. If they don't feel engaged and enthralled with you and sexual and intimate with you, then they're not going to have interest in you.
