When it comes to falling in love with a Scorpio, you’re in for a very wild ride. While there will be great moments, there will also be terrible moments.

Scorpios are easily the most volatile and confusing signs of the zodiac. While many people tout how crazy the Gemini and Leos can be, Scorpios are something else entirely. They might not be as love-oriented as you think, but they damn sure don’t let anyone mess with the people closest to them. 

Scorpios in a lot of ways are quite untouchable. You can’t get under their skin easily and quite honestly if you insult them they will laugh in your face. When you fall in love with someone born under this sign, you’re signing up for a lot of tension when things get hard and a lot of brutally honest moments that many people cannot handle. Scorpios are hard to love because they don’t like to let people close, they play with those in their lives until their trust is proven through and that can be enough to leave many running for the hills. 

Below you will find a list of things that you should keep in mind when it comes to loving the Scorpio. Sure, they might seem great, but they are so much more than most people realize. They will chew you up and spit you out if you’re not careful.

10 Things You Should Know About Scorpios:

1. They hold grudges big time.

Scorpios do not let go of anything. They might say they’re over it, but they are never actually over it. They hold serious grudges and make sure to get revenge when the time is right.

2. They do not fall for anyone easily.

Scorpios are not quick to fall in love. They play games and beat around the bush before settling down with someone. They have to make you really prove yourself before anything happens.

3. They are very physically inclined people.

Scorpios need physical attention. Intimacy is extremely important to them. You can’t just pretend they aren’t there, that will only make things come to an end quickly.

4. Their confidence is almost never lacking.

Scorpios are very confident people. They know who they are and who they are not. They do not let other people bring them down and the harder you try to make them fall the taller they will stand.

5. Making them jealous is the last thing you want to do.

Making a Scorpio jealous is like signing your own death wish. They do not stop until things are evened out as they see fit and you’re going to miss them once all is said and done. They do not take this kind of thing lightly at all.

6. They value honesty above all else.

If you lie to a Scorpio there is no second chance. They will not let you back into their lives. They need people around them who are above all else honest and open with them.

7. If they feel unsafe, they attack.

Scorpios are very much like scorpions in the sense that when they feel unsafe they go straight into attacking. You cannot allow your ill intentions to be seen, or they will dive into a fit of rage. They are not the kind of people to become victims.

8. They rely on themselves and are not good at asking for help.

Scorpios are very independent people. They know how to do most things on their own and even when they need help they rarely ever ask for it or take it when it’s offered. They even when seriously struggling manage on their own.

9. They are very all or nothing.

When it comes to Scorpios things are very ‘my way or the highway.’ They don’t give anyone time to make decisions and have to have things done exactly as they see fit. If anything is not as it should be it really sets them off.

10. They keep lots of secrets.

Scorpios are very secretive signs. They keep the people around them in the dark a lot and are not usually willing to share their deepest thoughts. You have to get to know them on a deep level before they’re willing to really open up.
