Why Are Virgos So Complicated?

Dating a Virgo man is difficult, and the reason for this is likely to have to do with his ruling planet Mercury. This is the sign of communication and intelligence. This is a very busy planet, which just illustrates that there is a lot going on in the mind of a Virgo man.

These men tend to be quite anxious and nervous; they are always overthinking and analysing every little move they make. This can make it very difficult for them to be in a relationship; being with someone tends to give them anxiety.

And to boot, a Virgo man has a tendency to always want to strive towards perfection. They put this intense pressure on themselves to be absolutely perfect, and this isn’t ever possible.

So when it comes to a relationship, Virgo men keep searching for the perfect partner, not realizing this person probably doesn’t exist. Learn here what a Virgo man likes in a woman.

7 Reasons To Explain Why Dating A Virgo Man Is Difficult

He Is Highly Strung

So, if you’ve been wondering, are Virgo men difficult? The answer is that the Virgo man is actually quite simple when you think about it. While he can be critical of himself and of his partner, his intent is only to improve what he perceives as a weakness.

To a sensitive person, this can be perceived as cold, calculated, or flat out. But he doesn’t mean to be this way. He’s just trying to be honest with you, and it’s up to you whether or not you can handle his version of the truth.

Aside from this, he wants a very simple and stable life. A Virgo man wants a partner who understands him, has similar qualities, can help him be a bit more outgoing, someone who will be truthful with him, and will basically be his soul mate.

He wants a relationship that will last a lifetime. Once a Virgo man truly loves someone, he loves them with all he’s got, which makes him vulnerable to possible heartbreak. He goes out of his way more than other signs to avoid that pain.

This also makes him seem cold or “unreachable”. A Virgo man will play the hot and cold game until he feels comfortable. Hot, as in, he tells you he likes you and wants to spend time with you.

Next thing you know, he’s off doing his own thing, and you don’t hear from him for a while, or maybe he doesn’t respond to your text message.

He’s reaffirming that he is self-sufficient, and he’s being careful with his heart to make sure you don’t break it. Once you understand this, you’ll be able to truly know why he does what he does.

He Wants Perfection

Many women claim or ask themselves: Are Virgo men difficult? Because he is a difficult one to snag up. The truth is, they’re really particular about what they are looking for. If he’s being “off” or somewhat “cold” to you, he may just not be that into you.

He isn’t super affectionate when he’s getting to know someone. There is a rare occasion, though, when he’ll immediately open up and go with the flow. If he does, it’s because he’s very intuitive and simply knows this person is the one.

He’s always looking for his soul mate. If he feels in some way that the person he is dating or seeing isn’t living up to that, he’ll pull back. He can, on occasion, pull back from fear as well.

If he gets too close to someone and it becomes scary, he’ll be terrified and it could fail. However, the Virgo man pulling back is typically very temporary, and he’ll come back ready to fully commit.

He’s slow to make a choice because he always wants to make sure he’s doing the right thing, choosing the right person, and doing what feels good.

He Is Serious About Love

Some call the Virgo man the prude of the Zodiac. That is actually not true at all. He just isn’t one to want to dive into bed without getting to know someone or establishing a relationship.

A Virgo man isn’t the type to do one night stands or “friends with benefits”. If he does agree to something like that, it likely will not last, as she will not be the one he wants to live out his life with. He’ll see her as a temporary solution.

This sensual man is very finicky, but it’s for a purpose. It’s not because he wants to be perceived as a cold-hearted jerk. He’s actually very warm, tender, funny, sensual, passionate, and loyal when he’s in love.

If he’s not heading in that direction with you, he may just not be that interested or doesn’t see himself having a future with you. It’s not because he’s horrible or that you are. It just means he’s being honest with what he feels.

Honesty does not mean being cold and calculated. It means that sometimes the truth isn’t what someone wants to hear. Sadly, he has a very bad reputation for being honest. And it might be why women ask me: Are Virgo men difficult?

He Is Cutthroat

If he does get this way with you, it’s because he cares, and it has nothing to do with this question: Is dating a Virgo man difficult? It may not seem like it, and to some, it seems like he’s picking on them. He always sees ways to improve life, improve oneself, and help others improve themselves.

Caring about you includes giving you advice on how you can improve something. It’s not because he doesn’t like you or thinks you’re problematic. He’s simply trying to improve your life.

Honestly, if a Virgo man doesn’t like you or doesn’t want to be with you, he’ll make it very evident and is likely to actually tell you that it’s not working and walk away. He doesn’t like wasting his time and energy.

When he takes time out for himself, he isn’t doing it because he isn’t into you. It’s because he’s either too close to you or just needs to breathe for a minute. Don’t panic! Let him have his time and space; he’ll reward you for it.

He Struggles With Vulnerability

The Virgo man will often put up quite a strong front of being well put together, but the truth is, underneath his mask, he is actually very insecure and sensitive. He puts up walls for a reason, and that is because he doesn’t want to get hurt.

One of the biggest reasons why a Virgo man is so difficult to be with is because he finds it difficult to relax and trust people. He knows what it is like to get hurt, and this is a feeling he tries to stay away from as often as possible.

Sometimes a Virgo man can confuse softness with weakness. He thinks that if he takes down his masks, he will be seen as weak and not manly enough. So he wears a mask to appear strong and confident.

This means that it can be difficult for him to open up his heart to love, because to truly love someone, you need to be vulnerable and willing to show your softer side. Openness is required, and this isn’t always easy for the Virgo man.

He Feels The Pressure

The pressure a Virgo man seems to feel is immense. He puts so much pressure on himself to be perfect that it can often be rather difficult for him to cope. When events happen in his life, he tends to become hyperfocused on one thing.

Stress is not something he deals with easily. It tends to really get to him, especially when it comes to his work. He is used to being high achieving and he wants his co-workers to know that they can depend on him.

However, you may have noticed that when things go well in his professional life, he tends to also bring this energy into the relationship. He can’t accept that one area of his life might be thriving while the other is going up in flames.

When one little thing goes wrong in the Virgo man’s life, he tends to let it seep into other aspects of his life. He feels pressure intensely, and it can get to him a lot more than to most people. This is why it is difficult to date him because you may feel like his punching bag.

He Doesn’t Believe He Is Good Enough

Virgo men have a lot of amazing traits and qualities they bring to their relationships and life in general. However, there is one very sad thing all Virgo men seem to struggle with, and that is believing that they aren’t good enough.

As I mentioned previously, a Virgo man will put a lot of pressure on himself to be perfect. But no matter how hard he strives to be perfect, it isn’t always easy for him to trust that he is enough or worthy of goodness in his life.

He will often self-sabotage and block the blessings in his life simply because he doesn’t feel like he has earned them. Because of this mindset, he may find it difficult to believe that he is worthy of love and being in a healthy relationship.

So when you fall for a Virgo man, you may be met with a lot of resistance, and he may claim that he can’t be with you because he isn’t worthy of your love. It can take a lot of your time and patience to try to convince him that he is good enough.

Here’s more on how to get a Virgo man to open up and share his feelings.

I Like A Virgo Man Who Is Incredibly Hard To Read, What Should I Do?

Most Virgo men are quite hard to read; they don’t always reveal what is going on in their minds, and trust me, it is a lot. They are like busy bees, trying to analyse and overthink every little situation they find themselves in.

However, when a Virgo man likes a woman, he will definitely try his best to get closer to her. If a Virgo man is spending time with you and making an effort with you, then chances are he likes you. His signals might just be a lot more subtle than other men’s.

Trust the feeling you have when you are with him, and don’t put so much pressure on making the relationship official or anything. Just be yourself, but also be patient and realize that a Virgo man is going to take his time when making a commitment. Just ease into it.

FAQs On Why Are Virgos So Hard To Love

Are Virgo Men Sensitive?

Virgo men are quite sensitive, and probably more sensitive than you realize. Usually, these guys are wearing somewhat of a mask, trying to hide how they really feel because they are afraid of seeming weak.

End Anxiety About Your Virgo Man…

It can be SO painful to worry about how to make things work with a Virgo man who won’t commit.

I know. I’ve been there with many of my friends dating Virgo guys.

I remember my very close friend crying herself to sleep at night, worried that her man would never commit to her. She lost sleep, time, and even work hours, all because she couldn’t figure out how to capture his heart and get him to commit.

As a friend, it was hard to watch her go through that.

But I knew how good he was for her, and I didn’t want her to give up on him. Even when our other friends were telling her to move on, I could see that he was the most incredible man she had ever met.

How could she just give up on that?

But it wasn’t easy.

It took a LOT of work.

She had to learn how to speak a different language… Virgo man’s love language.

And it worked!!!

So if you are ready to sleep like a baby… Knowing your Virgo man is MADLY in love with you… And never feel anxious about him again…

Go here now to see how to speak your Virgo man’s love language.
