Find someone who tells you "I love you" and means "let's get lost in a van somewhere in Portugal, without GPS, with a transistor playing music, and me holding your hand like I can’t get enough of you." That is a Sagittarius in love. Or at least, one part of him. Because his other part looks you in the eyes and says, "I want you a lot, but don’t suffocate me, because I’ll vanish like a firework in the sky."

Sagittarius, you see, is a strange mix of child and wise man — something between a guru and a guy who just raised his beer at a seaside beach bar. Emotionally, he doesn’t swim in shallow waters. He may pretend to play in the waves, but as soon as he feels that something “speaks” to him in the deep, he dives. Not always gracefully, but passionately. And that’s where the magic begins – or the total disaster, depending on how prepared you are for this emotional roller coaster experience.

When such a person falls in love, he does it as if discovering a new continent. With maps, with excitement, with lines like “how amazing you are, do you know you are unlike anyone else?” – and he truly believes it. He shows you the world through his eyes: colorful, wide, full of possibilities. But he won’t tell you many emotionally “heavy” words. Not because he doesn’t feel, but because he’s afraid words might trap him. That’s why, many times, he’ll say what he feels with an excited tone of voice, with an inexplicable smile, with a sudden trip proposal, or with a kiss full of promises.

And somewhere there, behind his bohemian flame and philosophical approach to love, something deeper hides. A desire for union that isn’t easily spoken, but it exists. As free as he may seem, Sagittarius can become sneakily emotional — not in the classic sense, but in a way that haunts you. He will secretly observe you, “read” your moods, remember that one time you drank your coffee without sugar because you were sad — and won’t tell you. He’ll just bring it bitter next time and give you a look that says “I saw you.”

What he struggles to do is to stay there, in the emotion, when things get dark. Because his emotional nature is fire – it burns, it warms, but it also goes out quickly if you don’t feed it with substance. Instead of diving into the pain, he might deal with it through humor. Say something like “who knows, everything happens for a reason” while an ocean runs inside him. And if he feels his freedom is threatened, he’ll drift away without much explanation – not out of indifference, but because he can’t stand the idea of becoming someone who suffocates or gets suffocated.

But don’t underestimate him. The one who laughs the loudest is often the one who feels the deepest. Sagittarius, when he loves, becomes almost mystical. He doesn’t just want a relationship – he wants a soul union that keeps him free and, at the same time, transforms him deeply. When he realizes that “together” doesn’t mean “prison,” but exploration, he bonds in silent yet fundamental ways. There lies his more “dark” side too: the desire for absolute emotional connection, the kind of relationship that isn’t satisfied with words and dates, but wants to dig, to touch, to regenerate.

So, he might give you a whole monologue about the meaning of love, and you may think he’s just playing with words. But if you notice the way he listens to you – with slightly furrowed brows, with eyes locked on yours – you’ll understand that what he says, he truly feels. In his own way. Maybe not with tears, but with a flame that warms you for hours after he’s gone.

He is the one who wants to know your wounds, not to “heal” them but to love you exactly as you are, or even because of them. And yes, there are moments when he withdraws, disappears, seems to avoid. But trust me, if you follow him into his inner journey with patience and honesty, he will return with gifts. Not material ones, but emotionally precious: understanding, devotion, looks that say “I see you and I accept you.”

Love, for him, is neither a simple game nor merely commitment. It is a path of exploration, a dance between freedom and connection, a journey where every stop is a new form of intimacy.

If it happens that you are loved by such a person, hold on tight. It’s no easy matter – it’s like loving a meteor that sweeps across the sky but at the same time leaves in your hand a little map that says “here lies the treasure.”

And if you manage to speak to him with truth, with feeling, with images that awaken his soul, if you sing him your most authentic melody without shame, then maybe, just maybe… he will stay.
