You inherit the traits of the Zodiac sign that you belong to, which in turn dictate how you go about your life – including how you love. While sometimes such characteristics are not very prominent, they are never absent.
Different traits of each sign manifest themselves in different situations. It could be the way you handle situations, the way you handle stress, the way you react to people and obstructions, and most of all in the way you love. Why most of all? Because love is an animal instinct. There is barely any holding back and people do what their inner-self and subconscious tells them to.

An Aries is always young at heart – it doesn’t matter if they have fallen in love at the age of 50, they are going to love you like it is their first love and will be crazy about you. They are impulsive, enthusiastic, playful, physically intimate, and free! But they can also be dominating, selfish, and argumentative. They are the ones who are so involved in everything that they have no time for relationships really.
But when you do get an Aries to date you, be really sure of what they want and be able to give it to them. Else, the bigger probability is that they will break your heart.

This naturally talented sign leaves nothing unturned in the relationship. Often gifted with more than talent, these are the people who fill up the relationship with music, good food, colors, and many other things. But when it comes to romance, they are the ones who will want everything to be stereotypically perfect. Their notion of love is aligned with what you see in popular media.
When you love a Taurus, romantic dates, candle-lit dinners, warm bubble baths, flowery romantic scents, and staring at the night sky are rather regular activities. That is what they love to do, and will encourage you to do the same. Be sure to be well groomed and try to bring perfection to yourself.

Free-willed, versatile, and looking for variety is what Gemini is like. They like spice and the variations of love. They are friendly, positive, and also really good with people. Take them to a party, and they would have connected with many more people than the others in the room. All of this gives them the bad reputation of being a cheater and fearing commitment. They like to jump from one thing to another, and therefore can never settle with one person.
If you are with a Gemini, you will have to keep running to catch up with them and be your interesting best all the time. To put it simply, you need to be interested in the stuff they like, and you will also have to be really interesting generally if you want your Gemini for yourself.

If involved with them, the way you love and want to be loved is going to be the way the relationship works. You won’t need to care if they are happy, because they will be if you are. This is why most Cancers end up suffering in love.

They crave that thrill in life, and need to be in an elevated state of mind at all times.

This is another sign after Scorpio that is full of contradictions. These are the people who are actually sensitive, receptive, and humble, but are known only for the mistakes that they make and the little human things everyone does.

They are also really social and will have a lot of friends that you might have to put up with – to the point where you start to feel like one of them and less of a partner.
If you are involved with an Aquarius, you will have to give them a lot of space as they are interested in everything, but also know when you need to pull the strings back to ensure that you get what you need as well.

This is the last sign, and the ones who are capable of losing themselves in love. They are overtly accommodating, overtly giving, and are overtly satisfied with the little that they get.

They are also rather attention-seeking and need to be reassured from time to time.
If you are in a relationship with one, ensure that you give them their regular dose of attention and reassurance, which will mean the world to them.
Well, now that you know the way you love, you can either tweak it or come to terms with it. Good luck loving!
