Architects approach romance the way they do most challenges: Strategically, with clear-cut goals and a plan for achieving them. In a purely rational world, this approach would be foolproof. Alas, love is rarely rational, and Architects are at risk of overlooking or misinterpreting the unpredictability of human nature and affection. For people with this personality type, finding a compatible partner can be a particular challenge. Rarely satisfied with things as they are, Architects cannot help but imagine how the world could be better than it already is – and they often bring this same mindset to the realm of love. Unfortunately, if Architects apply a relentlessly critical eye to every potential partner, they may find themselves constantly dissatisfied.
Architects value depth, intelligence, and unmitigated honesty. For them, a relationship that is not founded on these values simply is not worth pursuing. It might not come as a surprise, then, that the unspoken rules and social niceties of the dating world can seem useless or even insulting to these personalities. The good news is that Architects' honesty and refusal to play games can be a breath of fresh air when it comes to dating. The bad news? Many romantic conventions exist for a reason – often because they make people feel comfortable or special or intrigued. And when Architects refuse to play along, they may find dating difficult, if not impossible.
As they mature and gain experience, many Architects eventually come to understand the purpose of romantic rituals. Until that point, however, they may decide that dating is too irrational or beneath them. Some people with this personality type might claim to be above the "silliness" of romance in an effort to demonstrate their intellectual superiority. Obviously, this mindset is unlikely to help Architects find or connect with a partner. Sometimes Architects' best strategy is to focus on what they enjoy rather than struggle against the rules of love. Ironically, people with this personality type are often most attractive when they aren't caught up in trying to be. Just doing what they do best – pursuing the interests that light them up – can help their confidence and intelligence shine.
This personality type is not known for conventional shows of romance, such as sending flowers or writing mushy notes. Most Architects spend more time thinking about love than expressing it. But when they believe that a relationship has potential, Architects are more than capable of giving it their all, even if that takes them out of their comfort zone. And a healthy, long-term relationship is pretty much guaranteed to take Architects out of their comfort zone at some point. In particular, emotions can feel like a second language to these personalities. When their partner shares strong feelings, Architects' default is often to shut down or to analyse the situation, rather than simply listening and offering support. And when it is time for Architects to share the inner workings of their own hearts, they may feel uncomfortable and exposed.
For Architects, becoming comfortable with their partner's emotions – and their own – can take more than a little practice. Love is rarely easy, but it is a challenge that can help Architect personalities grow. Through their relationships, they can learn to focus on the present, get in touch with their emotions, remain involved with other people, and stay open to things that they are not used to. For a personality type so intent on self-development, these opportunities can make love even more satisfying.

LOVE LANGUAGE
"'You are…' His stare was intense and unblinking as he sheathed his sword at his side. 'You're absolutely magnificent. Beautiful.'"

Quality time is the love language that centers around focused emotional connection and togetherness. It is all about expressing your love and affection by granting your undivided attention to a partner and receiving the same thing in return. This love language concentrates on removing all unnecessary distractions, whether those may come from your surroundings or perhaps other people, and thus spending spending purposeful time together. Quality time, in whatever form or shape, does not have to be planned out in detail (Some times, in fact, the contrary can be quite refreshing to the relationship) as it is all about spending time together and paying attention to the other person. Unlike the words of affirmation language, talk is cheap, and being a loved one's main focus leaves quality timers feeling satisfied and comforted. Distractions, postponed appointments, or the failure to listen can be especially harmful to these individuals. Being there for them is crucial. People who speak this language need to feel seen and heard and their opinion valued to truly feel the love around them, and the consequence of neglect if most often withdrawal and loss of trust.
"'I love you,' he whispered, and kissed my brow. 'Thorns and all.'"

"He caught up with her outside her doorway, when she almost gave up. He said nothing, simply pulled her into his arms, against his strong, hard body, and his hand slid beneath her hair, tilting her face up to his. 'No more running away?' His voice was rough.
His eyes glittered down into hers, and if she wanted tenderness it wasn't there. Simply a dark, naked heat sparking between them. 'No more running away,' she said."

COMPATABILITY
"He wasn't at all what she expected. No: this wasn't true. He was everything she'd expected from everything she'd read about him – he was irritating, frivolous, arrogant, disconcertingly charming. It was just that she would not have suspected his intelligence had depth, that his wit was in part defense, that his charm was a result of, in part, startlingly acute perception and even… grace."

When a Gemini and a Scorpio come together in a love affair, they will need to learn to understand and accept one another's differences. And if they can, they will be nearly unbreakable.
Gemini men are some of the most mysterious men in the Zodiac circle, in no small part due to their conflicting personalities. People like to joke that Gemini men have multiple personalities, and while this isn't the case, they do tend to contradict themselves on every step. They are hard workers that pursue achievements, but they hate strict planning. They are social butterflies who can't get enough of people. They are talkative and seemingly an open book, but they are actually excellent at hiding their emotions. Gemini men never act like you would expect them to, and though this can keep you on your toes and make your relationship with them more exciting, it can also be exhausting. The good news is that relationships with Gemini men are relatively easy. They are not particularly high maintenance or demanding, and are relatively easy to please. The bad news is that you need to either be like them or learn how to adapt to them, because Gemini men are free souls that cannot be controlled.
Scorpio women are some of the most controversial signs out there, permanently inhabiting that spot between love them or hate them. They are outspoken, argumentative, domineering, independent, and demanding; They are also seductive, passionate, charismatic, capable, and piping hot. Scorpios may not be a fire sign, but they are still perfectly capable of burning you, which is one of the reasons why this controversial sign can be so misunderstood. A relationship with a Scorpio woman may be an incredibly tempting thing, but it can also be a very challenging experience. However, there is good news. A solid and healthy relationship with a Scorpio woman can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. You just need to work to get it.
"Let me be clear. Last I was aware you were neither my husband nor my father nor my King.
Therefore, any control you may imagine you hold over me is just that; imaginary."

Where the Gemini is adaptable, intellectual, outgoing and chatty, the Scorpio tends to be secretive, focused, intense and determined. The Gemini tends to take things lightly, sometimes including their lover whereas the Scorpio has a very deep need for emotional connection and intimacy. The Scorpio is generally very loyal to their lover and very connected to the relationship.
This relationship tends to be highly passionate and can often be characterized by arguments; the Gemini loves a good debate, considering it the epitome of mental stimulation, and that characteristic Gemini flirtatiousness tends to grate on Scorpio's jealous, possessive nerves. Despite these differences, however, this is no dull relationship. Both signs love to take chances and go on adventures together, and neither part would dream of holding the other person back.
