Ah, first dates. They're a wonderful mixture of excitement, nerves, and the overwhelming urge to hide under a table.

If you're anything like me, you've probably spent hours agonizing over what to wear, where to go, and how to act. But what if I told you that your Zodiac sign might have a little something to do with your first date disaster potential?

Yes, dear reader, I've taken it upon myself to rank the 12 Zodiac signs in order of their ability to screw up a first date. Why? Because I have nothing better to do, obviously. So without further ado, let's dive into this hot mess.

№12 – Capricorn:

Look, Capricorns are great. They're responsible, ambitious, and have their lives together. But when it comes to first dates, they tend to be a little... stiff. Sorry, Capricorns, but your love of structure and order doesn't exactly scream "romance."

№11 – Virgo:

Virgos are meticulous planners, which is great for pretty much everything in life except for first dates. They tend to get so caught up in making sure everything is perfect that they forget to actually enjoy themselves.

Zodiac Signs Ranked by Their Tendency to Ghost Someone After the First Date

№10 – Aquarius:

Aquarians are quirky and independent, which can be a turn-on for some people. But on a first date, they have a tendency to come off as aloof or detached. Plus, their unconventional ideas for date activities can be hit or miss.

№9 – Scorpio:

Scorpios are passionate and intense, which can be great in the right context. But on a first date, their tendency to dive deep into emotional topics can be a little overwhelming. Plus, their mysterious vibe can come off as cold or unapproachable.

№8 – Taurus:

Taureans are known for their love of luxury and good taste, which can make for a great first date... if you're into that sort of thing. But their stubbornness and tendency to stick to their own ideas can make them difficult to get to know.

№7 – Aries:

Aries are confident and bold, which can be attractive qualities. But on a first date, their competitiveness can be a major turn-off. No one wants to feel like they're in a competition for attention.

№6 – Sagittarius:

Sagittarians are adventurous and fun-loving, which can be great for a first date. But their tendency to talk too much and dominate the conversation can be a major buzzkill.

№5 – Gemini:

Geminis are known for their wit and charm, which can make them great first date companions. But their tendency to be indecisive and flaky can make planning a date a nightmare.

№4 – Pisces:

Pisceans are romantic and imaginative, which can make for a dreamy first date. But their tendency to get lost in their own world can make it difficult to connect with them on a deeper level.

№3 – Leo:

Leos are confident and charismatic, which can be a major turn-on. But their tendency to be the center of attention can make it difficult for their date to get a word in edgewise.

№2 – Cancer:

Cancers are sensitive and nurturing, which can make for a sweet and intimate first date. But their tendency to get too attached too quickly can be a major red flag.

№1 – Libra:

And the winner (or loser, depending on how you look at it) is... Libra! Librans are charming and charismatic, which can be a major asset on a first date. But their indecisiveness and tendency to try to please everyone can lead to some major awkward moments. Librans have a hard time making decisions, which can make it difficult to plan a date, and their people-pleasing tendencies can sometimes come off as insincere or disingenuous.

Now, before you go accusing me of being a total Debbie Downer, let me just say this: even if you're ranked as the most disaster-prone sign on this list, that doesn't mean all hope is lost. After all, these rankings are just for fun. And, honestly? There's just no such thing as a perfect first date. We're all just trying our best.
