Cancer

Because Cancer tends to be a homebody, a down-home restaurant with a cozy atmosphere would make this sign feel most at ease on a first date. If all goes well, you might want to suggest a second date in one of your homes, where you can whip up a meal together (just make sure your cooking chops are up to the task).

Leo

Hopefully you've saved up a little money before you take a Leo on a date, because this sign is known to have expensive taste. Wine and dine Leo with a four-course tasting menu at the hippest restaurant in town if you want to truly capture your Lion's heart.

Virgo

Chances are, no-frills, nature-oriented Virgo would be up for a hike or yoga class. This shared activity allows Virgo to break a sweat while you get to know each other. After you get your fitness on, grab a bite at a local breakfast joint—extra points if it serves organic eggs.

Libra

Libras have a soft spot for beautiful things, so take this sign on a stroll through a picturesque botanical garden or museum. Besides giving you lots to take in with your eyes, the experience will give you plenty to chat about over coffee afterwards.
