Well, with Libra being the sign of Partnership, I mean — two Libras who fall in love with
each other are probably just in romance heaven, right? Just on cloud nine together! It's all
roses and chocolates and love poems and foot rubs and, oh, all that sweet gooey stuff.
Right? Well, that's what you'd think. But this can actually be kind of a tricky pairing.
First off, Libra has that reputation of being a people-pleaser, which can lead to being
really indecisive, because they just want everyone to be happy all the time and they
don't want to really cause any tension by putting their foot down about anything, or
even just, you know, stating a firm opinion. Even on which restaurant they'd like to go
to, or which movie they want to see! With a Libra, it can go that far. So imagine with
two Libras together — they're trying to figure out where to go on their date, and
one's like, "I don't know, honey, whatever you want to do!" and the other is like, "Oh,
I don't mind where we go, whatever you'd like to do is great, sweetie!" and they just go
back and forth like that forever! I mean, who's going to be the one who finally steps
up and says, "I WANT TO GO EAT INDIAN FOOD TONIGHT, AND I DON'T CARE WHETHER YOU LIKE
IT OR NOT, THAT'S WHAT I WANT!" Or whatever. You know, my Libran friend Renee had a Libra
boyfriend when we were younger, and it was actually kind of nauseating to be around them.
First off, because they couldn't keep their hands off each other; they were always just
cuddling and smooching and holding hands. They were so sweet it made your teeth hurt!
And then they could just never, ever make a decision — I mean, they were that way
on their own, and when they were together it was that indecisiveness times ten. Of course,
they got along really well and they hardly ever argued — but I think it's important
to argue sometimes, and clear the air, you know? I mean, harmony is great and all, but
sometimes you just have to get certain feelings off your chest in a romantic relationship.
But two Libras together have a very hard time doing that. They don't want to rock the boat,
and I swear that's why Renee and her boyfriend ended up breaking up — which is another
issue in a relationship with two Libras: Who's going to be the one to finally call it quits?
Neither one wants to break the other's heart, so they might just stay in it forever, even
when it's clearly not working! Yeah, this is a great connection for sweetness and hearts
and flowers, but not so great when it comes to the real, day-in and day-out workings of
an actual relationship. These two just have a hard time being honest with each other about
their true feelings and needs, which doesn't really work, especially not long-term.
