Aries

Rams relish special treatment more than most signs, so going the extra mile to snag VIP tickets to a concert, film festival or sporting event will score you major brownie points. No matter what kind of event you choose, this type of outing will no doubt inspire some scintillating conversation between you and your fiery date.

Taurus

You'll win over a Taurus with romantic and traditional gestures—but nothing cheap or cheesy. For your first date, suggest a gourmet picnic in a serene park, which appeals to this Earth sign's affinity for the outdoors and love of luxury.

Gemini

Between their penchant for people-watching and desire to always be in the thick of the action, a Gemini would probably have a blast strolling through a lively street fair before lunching at a bustling sidewalk cafe.

Cancer

Because Cancer tends to be a homebody, a down-home restaurant with a cozy atmosphere would make this sign feel most at ease on a first date. If all goes well, you might want to suggest a second date in one of your homes, where you can whip up a meal together (just make sure your cooking chops are up to the task).

Leo

Hopefully you've saved up a little money before you take a Leo on a date, because this sign is known to have expensive taste. Wine and dine Leo with a four-course tasting menu at the hippest restaurant in town if you want to truly capture your Lion's heart.

Virgo

Chances are, no-frills, nature-oriented Virgo would be up for a hike or yoga class. This shared activity allows Virgo to break a sweat while you get to know each other. After you get your fitness on, grab a bite at a local breakfast joint—extra points if it serves organic eggs.

Libra

Libras have a soft spot for beautiful things, so take this sign on a stroll through a picturesque botanical garden or museum. Besides giving you lots to take in with your eyes, the experience will give you plenty to chat about over coffee afterwards.

Sagittarius

Adventure and culture are the way to this globetrotting sign's heart. Since a spontaneous trip to Italy is most likely out of the question for date numero uno, take your Sagittarius on a far-flung journey via an afternoon wine or olive oil tasting.

Capricorn

The key to impressing a level-headed Capricorn? Show your date you're just as grounded. Caps are apt to love a lavish date, but generally prefer to treat their loved ones, so a free movie in a park may be a better bet. Even if one of you doesn't like the film, at least no one had to shell out any hard-earned cash to see it.

Aquarius

Think outside the box to woo this forward-thinking sign. Try taking an Aquarius to one of those "dining in the dark" restaurants, where you make your way through a meal without being able to see any of it. Your date will totally dig doing something unexpected, like an ethnic cuisine cooking class.

Unsurprisingly, the sign of the Fish usually feels most comfortable near water. To appeal to this sign's affinity for all things aquatic, consider a trip to the aquarium or an alfresco lunch overlooking a lake.
