Is being affectionate your love language? Do you expect the same from your future partner? Then find out who are the most affectionate zodiac signs so that there are no unpleasant surprises later!
“The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate” by Gary Chapman is a wonderful book that explains that there are five different ways in which people can experience and express the love that Chapman refers to as “Love Languages”.
They are:
- Receiving gifts
- Quality time
- Words of affirmation
- Acts of service (devotion)
- Physical Touch
People tend to naturally give love in the way they like to receive love and great intimacy and communication can be established between couples if they have a better understanding of each other’s love languages.
One way to find out about our and our partner’s love language is through observation. You can observe if they like to give you verbal compliments and words of affirmation to express their love or if they use physical touch such as hugs and kisses to express their love or if they like to be of service to you and do things like household chores to express their love.
You can also tap into the wisdom of Astrology to gain insight into your and your (existing or potential) partner’s behavior and the ways they express love.

10. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius is a fiery fire sign again. They are playful and world travelers. A Sagittarius would like to keep it casual for a long time. They will flirt with you till everything is playful but the moment you get serious; they would take a step back.
They’re very anti-commitment and wouldn’t mind looking flaky until they find the best option for them. Even then, they hate to be tied down and overt expression of affection is not something they’re comfortable with. Definitely one of the less affectionate zodiac signs.
11. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini is an Air sign. It is the most social of all zodiac signs. They just want to have a good time and party. Geminis are not that great at letting their guard down. A Gemini would love to flirt and have fun till they really find someone worth it.
They like the chase and being flirty, being too serious is just too close to comfort for them. They’re not big on emotions and find expressing love to be corny. They’re pretty lousy when it comes to meeting their partner’s emotional expectations. They’re one of the least affectionate zodiac signs.
12. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius is at the end of the spectrum of emotional affection. They’re the least affectionate zodiac signs. They’re the most intellectual and unconventional sign of all the zodiacs. They are out-of-box thinkers and revolutionaries. They don’t do anything mainstream and that includes their love life.
They will not be the ones to indulge in lovey-dovey expression but rather they would look for a partner who is equally independent and ambitious. They would rather focus on their dreams and be in a relationship where they can help each other achieve their magnanimous goals instead of spending their time on pointless confessions of personal sentiments.
If you are with an Aquarian partner, then know that they would be detached and seem cold and distant. It’s not that they don’t love you. They want to focus on achieving their goals and they’re looking for someone who is equally focused on what they want to achieve in life.
