Scorpio men are the dark horses of the zodiac—and they make passionate, intelligent, devoted partners. But this private, mystical water sign is also not the type to shout declarations of love from the rooftops. So how does a Scorpio man express his love? We consulted our team of expert astrologers to bring you all the gossip and details on what Scorpio men are like in love. Read on to figure out if your Scorpio man loves you (and how to show him you love him back).

This article is based on an interview with our astrologer and performance artist, Angel Eyedealism. Check out the full interview here.

He looks at you intensely.

  1. Scorpio men are the strong, silent type, and they love eye contact. These guys are ruled by the planet of mystery, Pluto.[1] That means they might not come right out and say “I love you.” Instead, you’re likely to catch your Scorpio man staring lovingly from across the room in an Edward Cullen kind of way. Look out for quiet moments when he looks into your eyes as if he’s staring straight into your soul.[2]
    • When you catch your Scorpio man staring, flash him a smile and look away—he’ll be immediately intrigued.

He gives you deep compliments.

He gives you little gifts.

  1. Scorpios will opt for romantic gestures rather than verbal declarations of love. A Scorpio man in love might surprise you with your favorite snack, a gorgeous piece of jewelry, or a custom-made playlist. As fixed signs, these guys are masters of commitment and consistency. Gifts won’t be a one-time deal. Don’t be surprised if your Scorpio guy shows up every day with something sweet.
    • Want to give back to your Scorpio? Go for anything that says “bad boy.” Create a personalized heavy metal playlist, pick out a leather wallet, or get him a historical book on the world’s greatest military generals.

He initiates dates.

  1. Scorpio men like to take the lead because they’re cardinal signs. Yes, this sign gets a bad rap for being “power-hungry,” but they’re really just determined and committed—especially in love.[3] A Scorpio in love will ask you out to romantic restaurants and plan exciting excursions. He’ll be the first one to text you and ask what you’re up to on the weekend. And he’ll be the last one to ever bail on plans with you.
    • If you ever want to shake things up and plan an amazing date with a Scorpio, go for something intense like an underground tour, a live rock concert, or a night hike.
5

He wants to spend one-on-one time together.

  1. Love for a Scorpio can be all-consuming and teeter on the edge of obsession.[4] All that romance and desire for connection probably comes from their water sign nature. A Scorpio man might express his love by asking to spend a lot of time (truly a lot) with just you. He’ll skip the group dates and opt for quality time talking late into the night with his favorite person—you.
    • If a Scorpio’s intensity ever gets too much, let him know. Just say something like, “I love you, but I’d love to spend some time with my friends tonight.” If you’re in a healthy relationship, that won’t be a problem for your Scorpio.

He’s protective of you.

8

He sometimes gets jealous.

  1. Mars' influence makes Scorpio men ready to fight for their partner. A Scorpio man in love won’t want to see you with anyone else. He’ll act upset if you talk about your exes or see other guys. As a fixed sign, he’s a firm believer in loyalty and commitment to one person, and he expects his partner to feel the same way. Even if you’re upset with your Scorpio, never try to make him jealous—it’ll end up pushing him away.
    • Remember, it’s okay if he expresses discomfort about other guys. But it’s not ok if he starts being controlling and telling you who you can and can’t see.[6]
10

He offers to help you.

  1. Scorpios are signs of action, so they show love through acts of service. Once they decide you’re the one, these guys go all-in.[8] Whether you need a ride to the airport, help with opening a stubborn jar, or a shoulder to cry on, he’ll be there. This drive to help comes from Mars’ energetic, vivacious influence as well as Scorpio’s emotional water sign nature.
11

He opens up to you.

  1. Pluto’s influence means that Scorpios can be hesitant to share how they feel.[10] These guys prefer to look macho and stoic to the outside world. But when they’re in love, Scorpios will turn their partner into their confidant. Your Scorpio man will drop the act and let you in on his deepest insecurities, loftiest dreams, and complex, beautiful inner life.
    • Encourage your Scorpio man to open up by saying things like, “I love hearing about your dreams” and “I’m always here for you if you need someone to talk to.”
