发帖数: 13789 | 1 We may as well get this out into the open right away. Don't pin your hopes
on a Virgo man if your heart is hungry for romantic dreams and fairy tales,
or you'll find yourself on a starvation diet. A love affair with a Virgo
will dump a warm sentimentalist on the cold ground with a hard thud, and it
can hurt.
This man lives almost entirely on a practical, material level, and he has
little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Of course, the whole
problem may be academic anyway, since it will take no little effort to bring
him anywhere near the threshold of a man-woman relationship in the
first place. He's not the type to serenade you beneath your boudoir window.
You'll have a long, lonely wait on your moonlit balcony until he starts
climbing the rose trellis (or the fire escape, if you live in a walk-up).
Actually, Virgos are deeply involved with love from earliest childhood, but
not the Romeo-Juliet kind of love. His chief way of expressing the word is
concerned with unselfish devotion to family, friends and those weaker or
more disorganized than himself. He was born with an instinctive love of work
, love of duty and discipline and devotion to the helpless. Even the
unevolved Virgo, ,who doesn't quite reach such heights, feels slightly
guilty that he isn't living up to a selfless ideal in some way.
The kind of love which displays itself in dramatic emotions,
sentimental promises, tearful declarations and mushy affection, not only
leaves a Virgo man cold, it can frighten him into catching the nearest bus
or train out of town. (Planes are too fast and too expensive for him, unless
he's really desperate.) But he can be melted if the temperature is just
right, even though he seems to be made of a combination of steel and
ice. There are definitely ways to the Virgo heart. Secret ways. Aggressive
pursuit is not one of them. Neither is coquetry nor sexuality, as many a
flirtatious vamp and slinky siren has learned, to her surprise and
disappointment.
Virgos seek quality rather than quantity in romance. Since quality is at
pretty much of a premium in any category, they have few real love
affairs, and the few they do have are destined to be unlucky or sad in some
way, more often than not. Virgo's reaction to such a disappointment is
normally to bury himself in the hardest work he can find, stay away from
society in general, and be twice as cautious at the next opportunity. You
can see that you'll have to use considerable strategy and patience. The
basic Virginian instinct is chastity, and he's turned from it only for a
good cause or for a mighty good woman. Many Virgos-though admittedly not all
-can live with celibacy far more easily than any other Sun sign, just as
they put up with rules of discipline they don't understand, because
obedience to fate without struggling comes naturally to them. If fate
decrees a single life, Virgo is prepared to accept it without excess regret
or emotional trauma, so there are lots of Virgo bachelors around-but still,
in their quiet way, they can manage some very poetic, if fragile, love
affairs. |
