Gemini is an air sign, and air signs are all about talking. That’s why you’ll make the biggest impact if you tell him you’re into him, rather than just trying to show him through wordless flirting. Try saying something like, “You’re funny, I like you. We should hang out some time. " Or, you might say, “You’ve got a great vibe—I think we’d get along with each other. "

Don’t give him every detail about what you’re doing when he’s not around. Give him a chance to be intrigued. Be careful not to go too far with being aloof. Geminis are pretty direct about their feelings, and they don’t really like vague emotional games.

If you’re telling him about the new restaurant you tried, don’t mention who you went with, for instance. Another way to seem mysterious is to let him do most of the talking. With a Gemini guy, that should be no problem!

Got a fearless Gemini who doesn’t mind heights? Invite him skydiving or bungee jumping! If your Gemini guy has a case of wanderlust, plan a weekend road trip complete with snacks and cool sunglasses. Push him out of his comfort zone by inviting him to take a dance or cooking class with you.

Send over his favorite take-out dish if you know he’s working late. Make a Spotify playlist full of your favorite songs. When he hears any of those tracks, he’ll think of you!

Puns, dad jokes, silly stories—if something is funny to you, throw it out there! Geminis love to laugh, so chances are, he’ll be receptive. Don’t be afraid to use a little wry humor to lighten the mood if you’re having a serious conversation.

“Would you rather be a cat or a dog?” (This-or-that questions will appeal to his dual nature. ) “Did you know snails can sleep for up to 3 years at a time?” “What’s your favorite memory from high school?” (He definitely won’t mind talking about himself. )

If he calls to cancel a dinner date, for instance, you might say, “Cool, my friend Krista wanted me to go to a comedy club tonight. I’ll just do that instead. " If he seems a little distant, just give him some space. When he sees you’re not chasing him, he’ll probably be that much more interested in reaching back out to you.

For instance, if he’s surly about a bad day at work, you might bring up a funny story to take his mind off of it. It’s okay to open up to him sometimes about tough things, like sharing if you had a bad day at work. Just try to balance that by changing the subject to something positive afterward.

If he’s planning a night out with his buddies, don’t act jealous or try to make him stay home. Instead, smile and encourage him to have a great time. Make your own plans when you know he’s going to be busy. That way, the two of you will have plenty to talk about when you meet back up—and you know Geminis love to talk!

Don’t just sit by the phone waiting for your Gemini crush to call. Make plans doing your own thing!
