Geminis value quality time as their love language category because they never have time to start. It is almost impossible to start a relationship with them because they don’t have time for a new person in their existing schedule. There is always a responsibility there. Suits must hunt them down, almost like a sales cold call, using whatever tactics are necessary to win the meeting. Those lucky enough to secure a first date must show initiative and persistence in order to continue to receive Gemini’s time and attention. The time spent together should convey a unique bond that gives them nothing else in their lives, they want their partners to be their anchor and safe harbor to keep them strong despite their unstable life. Some Geminis are workaholics, some are social butterflies who can’t get enough of it, and some run for president while opening a restaurant and learning to knit it all together. They need someone who can keep up, someone who can hold their interest, and who can plan experiences to share as a couple. Long conversations are a must. Geminis want to know what their partner thinks so they can both share each other’s opinions. Quality time is a never ending game of “knowing” that they never stop wanting to play.
Cancer wishes for quality time at the famous “dog movie for kids” level. No disrespect intended in comparing people to pets, they just want that best ride or die companion who is always by their side and willing to view each day as a journey together. They are looking for a partner who sees the mundane daily tasks we need to complete to get through the day as opportunities for the bond to deepen. Eating, sleeping, exercising, resting. Everything and anything is an opportunity for quality time with the right person and the right perspective, and Cancers want that level of commitment and loyalty. Someone who will be happy to see them every time they walk in the door. To someone who loves you unconditionally. A person who knows how to feel when he feels pain. Someone who waves them with love and wakes them up when they are reluctant to get out of bed and start the day. Cancer seeks companionship and the responsibility of caring for someone other than themselves. They want to make memories that last a lifetime and have the photos to prove it. They want rainy days packed together, and memorable trips to explore the world around them. Someone who will match their passion for life with consistency.
Virgos fall into the category of quality time almost through the process of elimination. They have enough credentials to be alone on a desert island for years without needing to be rescued by anyone. They don’t need you to perform acts of service for them, but they won’t tolerate you messing up their freshly cleaned place. They save for their gifts and maybe have something installed in their bedroom that checks a well-visible touch box. Virgo is the most independent sign in the world, which is just another important reason that quality time dominates their love lives. They don’t the need anyone, but they want to know that there is someone out there who wants to be around for a long time. Someone who sees them as something special, a wonderful person, and most importantly, not “too much”. Virgos are special, they rarely reciprocate these feelings, they feel comfortable enough when they are around someone that they don’t wait for them to leave so they can clean up any stray crumbs before bed. I level A quality time component is also important. Virgos want a partner who can put in as much work as they do, someone who never takes themselves for granted and is always looking for ways to keep connecting.
Scorpios are mistakenly lumped into the physical contact category, but those who know them well quickly learn that quality time is their true love language. Although they will never give up their epithet as a sensual astrological sign, they are more interested in what comes after sex than the act itself. Scorpios live for hugs and pillow talks, as long as they have the right partner. Messy hair and bad breath to deal with someone first thing in the morning. That first sip of coffee or tea, breakfast in bed, listening to stories while doing a crossword together. They want more than anything else to have someone with whom they can share the simple pleasures of life. They want to know that their company is valued and enjoyed, and to find someone they feel the same way about. Scorpios are suckers for holding hands at the movie theater, deciding what to order at a restaurant and getting everything to share, and sitting on the sidelines while reading a book. They don’t need you to go overboard or drop a bunch of cash to impress them. They just want to feel wanted, and the biggest way you can show them is by showing your desire for their presence. Making plans, looking forward to something together, and sharing that joy. It’s how they continue to feel tied to you.
