Signs a Aries man is interested

What tends to help

Directness in return. He tends to relax when you tell him plainly what you want, rather than hinting.

What to watch for

Frustration that flares and fades before the other person has processed it. Naming the pace difference out loud helps.

How Aries loves, more broadly

Like most Aries placements, he tends to show love through doing things: turning up, making the plan, defending you in a room you are not in. Aries says the thing, often before it is fully formed. Arguments are short and hot; the repair usually comes quickly, sometimes before the other person has finished being hurt.

Nobody is their sun sign alone, and gender shapes far less than people assume. Read this as a set of tendencies worth checking against the actual person in front of you.
