What Attracts the Virgo Man?

By Ann Roberts

What a Virgo man likes in a woman is honesty, a supportive nature, and a partner who is his equal. He likes to take his time getting to know a person before he decides whether he wants to pursue a romantic relationship. The first and most difficult step on the path to romance is getting this man to notice you, but it's crucial if you hope to make him fall in love.

1. Pay Attention to Your Appearance

Appearance is important for attraction in general, but a Virgo man places a great deal of value on his partner's appearance. He tends to prefer a neat and coordinated look over trendy fashions, so your hair, clothes and makeup should be simple yet perfect. Avoid heavy makeup or messy hair styles.

2. Show Him You Have an Honest Character

You won't win this man by playing games or trying to be someone you're not. Be straightforward about who you are and what is important you, but have some tact and don't try to bowl him over. Just be honest about your strengths and let him know you're willing to work on your weaknesses.

3. Don't Go Overboard

Keep your conversations down to earth and direct. Excessive displays of "personality" may ultimately lead him to think you're pretentious. What he's really looking for is a steady partner with real depth.

4. Avoid Messy Displays of Emotion

Virgo is not the guy to go to when you need to cry on someone's shoulder, and he's not enticed by the "helpless female" act. He prefers a partner who shares his analytical approach to life. He wants to talk about what he considers to be serious subjects, such as life, philosophy, politics, and religion. Try to avoid dumping your emotional baggage on him, or you just might scare him away.

5. Be Punctual

Show up on time. Virgo males are heavy on convention and manners. Showing up late for plans and events tells him you don't value his time and if you do, that he'll lose interest in you altogether. He needs to know you respect him, aside from your attraction to him.

6. Offer to Cook Him a Good Meal

A Virgo man almost always prefers a home-cooked meal to a trendy restaurant. If you have decent culinary skills, invite him home for a meal you prepare yourself. It doesn't have to be a fancy meal, but every dish should be delicious. A successful dinner date like this will show him you'd be a good domestic partner, and that's another characteristic he's looking for.

7. Be Organized and Tidy

Whether it's your home or cubicle he's examining, this man likes a tidy environment. A messy workspace or home shows him you really don't have it all together, and this is not the impression you want to make. Most Virgo men appreciate a knack for cleanliness.

8. Be Supportive

A Virgo guy can be just as critical of himself as he is of others, and he may be more insecure than he lets on. You can show him you care about him by supporting and encouraging him in his endeavors, and this should really attract his attention.

9. Bring Your Own Talents to the Table

Your Virgo may be something of a perfectionist, but he's usually not domineering. He will value and appreciate your input, especially when your opinions or suggestions are well thought out and can enhance a goal or activity. He longs for a partner who can be his equal.

10. Let Him Set the Romantic Pace

This man prefers to be in charge of the relationship, and he's going to make sure you're the one for him before he takes things to the next level. Don't jump the gun and try to kiss him; let him be the one to decide if it's time to kiss you. When that kiss comes, if it comes, accept it gently as though it's the most natural thing in the world.

How to Win a Virgo Man

If you successfully attract your Virgo and he falls in love with you, chances are good you'll have a partner for life. Virgo men are usually very loyal, and they tend to stay in relationships for the long run. If you can prove you'll stick with him through good times and bad, he'll want to keep you by his side.
