For Gemini, the world is friendship, communication and meeting. They like to share, to make what seems difficult entertaining, and to find different ways of doing the same things. Variety keeps their interest awake.
Their temperament is usually friendly and jovial. They want to know about everything and to be in many places at once. They can sustain several interests at the same time and move quickly from one to another. That agility also explains why they may scatter their attention or lose interest as soon as they feel they have understood something.
Friendship is an essential part of their emotional life. Even when the relationship becomes deep and intimate, they need to feel they still have by their side someone to talk with, laugh with and share discoveries with.
They need to be listened to and usually keep a playful side, as if their childhood were always close to the surface. That is why they may especially enjoy youthful settings.
There are also Gemini people who are sullen or unsociable. Approaching them through friendship can open what a demand for immediate intimacy does not.
How to win their heart
Listen to their stories with interest. Communication and friendships are a sensitive point in their world: discrediting their friends or impatiently cutting their stories short can hurt them.
Pleasant conversations and fun plans favor the encounter. That youthfulness of spirit deserves to be understood before it is labeled immaturity.
