On the other hand, if you’re trying to break up with a Gemini there are a few things to keep in mind. They’re also drawn to people who have a sharp sense of humor, express curiosity (such as by asking questions), and aren’t too clingy.

So how do you attract a Gemini? Joon notes that they love a partner who is as open as they are to experience and enjoy the world. They’re also lighthearted and playful in relationships, she adds. “Gemini is always listening and while it doesn’t often seem like they are retaining much, you would be surprised how much they have paid attention to your likes and dislikes,” Joon says. In romantic relationships, Geminis can be very thoughtful and enjoy surprising their partners. 'What Gemini needs to be happy is to use the power of communication, to wrap language around the truth and to make other people feel less alone,' says Bedell. They can survive and thrive while searching for something meaningful, scratching an itch of intellectual stimulation while they're at it, and have a great story to tell as a result. Remember, Geminis are Alice in Wonderland–level curious, which can be dangerous and isn't always celebrated. In short, lots of freedom, exploration and intellect, space to explore and ask questions. “This sign is not about buckling down and moving slowly towards one goal, they need multiple goals and thrive in a changing or evolving environment that challenges their mind and keeps them from spiraling into a whirlwind of thoughts.” What do Geminis need in order to be happy? “Not growing, not learning, not having new experiences or meeting new people is a fast lane to an unhappy Gemini,” she adds. They need activity, stimulation, movement, and people around them, Joon says. “Their curious minds allow for inclusive and inviting body language.” What are a Gemini’s fears? “They want to include others in conversation and hear what everyone has to say,” she says. Their body language is also open and welcoming. So, Joon says, they can be quite expressive with their hands when they talk. 'Energizing rich dialogue with questions, hilarity and a little bit of adventure would really make any Gemini very happy.' What is a Gemini’s body language expressiveness like?įun fact: Gemini is ruled by the arms and hands. 'And also, who doesn't love somebody who has a good sense of humor and who takes things lightly?' he asks. Pulling your weight in a conversation will make a Gemini very, very happy, according to Bedell. Instead of 'So, what do you do for a living?' try more free-flowing lines like, 'Hey, so I was curious-how did you get into that? Because I thought that you like this thing more.' And then just keep it going. Giving a verbal prompt versus statements that sound like wooden PR releases will delight a Gemini. John and Julie Gottman: Make 50 percent of the dialogue with the Gemini an open-ended question.

To make sure you're successful in this way, Bedell recommends using a method based on the research of Drs. These lavishly verbal folks will light up if you communicate with them on their level or even close to their level (remember, these are very charismatic wordsmiths). But I will tell you when I get there.' Because of this trouble with taking the time to synthesize thoughts and provide measured answers, Gemini can over-commit and under-deliver. In that scenario, Geminis have a tough time hitting pause to say, 'You know what? I don't have an answer for you right now. The area where Gemini tends to get in trouble is, well, sometimes they speak with a lot of authority on topics that encompass a lot of ambiguity, uncertainty, and risk. What are the bad Gemini qualities or weaknesses? 1. She adds that because they think and speak quickly, Geminis often don’t allow enough time to properly think through what they’re going to say, which can sometimes get them in trouble. “They enjoy playful banter and are not afraid to ruffle some feathers,” Joon says. Another Gemini strength is that they’re not only quick on their feet, they’re also quick thinkers who are always ready with an idea or witty remark.
