A fire sign like Aries is bold, passionate, and courageous—so it’s generally easy to tell when she likes you and when she might not. However, if you’re getting mixed signals from an Aries, you’ve come to the right place. This complete guide will show you all the signs that an Aries woman is rejecting you and what you can do about it, with insights from professional astrologers. While rejection is never easy, knowing how she feels will help you reconnect or move on from your Aries lady faster.

Signs an Aries Woman Is Done with You

Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis says if an Aries woman stops spending time with you or showing you attention, she may be done with you. She might ask you fewer questions or stop talking to you as much. If an Aries woman is rejecting you, she may also initiate less physical affection and want more time alone.

She’s flirting with other people but not you.

1. 
   Aries is a natural flirt and may stop to prove she’s pulling away. When Aries realizes she wants something different from a relationship, she might start flirting with others to tell you that she’s no longer interested. She may be feeling lonely already, or she may be using the flirting to communicate that to you without really saying anything.

   • If you notice her flirting with other people, discuss it with her calmly and directly. Odds are, she’ll give you an honest response, says astrologer Angel Eyedealism.
   • Flirt with her to help rekindle your romance. Garbis notes that flirtatiously provoking an Aries and making her a little mad can drive her wild with wanting to see you. She says getting her blood to boil just a little can lead to her asking you on a date a few days later.

She doesn’t crave your attention.

Download Article

1. 
   Spotlight-loving Aries needs constant adoration from her partner. Garbis says that Aries loves attention and will go anywhere they get it. If she stops texting, calling, and asking you to hang out, something is up. An Aries woman who doesn’t want your focus on her 24/7 may not see you as a romantic interest anymore. Aries are normally quite affectionate when they want their partner’s attention, but she’ll stop doing it if she feels it’s a waste of time.

   • She may only be unsure about the future of your relationship. In this case, reassure her that you’re as loyal as she is and committed to the long haul.
   • Letting your Aries know that all of your attention is focused on her can also help you win her back. As Garbis says, Aries women “love attention and hate being alone with no one telling them how great they are.” So, make sure you’re telling her how amazing and strong she is.
   • On the other hand, she may be distancing herself to prepare for the ensuing breakup.

She avoids you.

Download Article

1. 
   Aries loves to spend time with the person she’s dating or crushing on. If an Aries woman isn’t into you, though, she may make excuses when you try to make plans with her. As Garbis explains, if an Aries woman is "not seeking any time or attention from you and [she has] nothing else going on, that may be a sign that [her] interest is wandering or that [she is] getting bored." So, if she never makes an effort to hang out with you, it could signify that she doesn’t have romantic feelings for you.

   • In fact, this may be her way of distancing herself to prepare you for a rejection or a breakup.
   • Garbis explains that if an Aries is spending time with you, that’s a huge indicator that she is interested in you. So, the opposite is likely true, as well.
   • Aries women love excitement and adventure. To get her attention and affection back, invite her to do something fun and new. For instance, ask her to go on a hike with you or invite her to go go-kart racing.

She acts more like a friend.

Download Article

1. 
   To reject someone, Aries may hit the brakes and keep things casual. If you’re not dating (but had been previously flirting), she might make a point to introduce you as a “friend” to other people. If you’re together, she may act more like a casual friend or acquaintance when she sees you to get the point across that her feelings about you are starting to shift.

   • She’ll usually do this if avoiding you isn’t an option—if you work or go to school together.
   • Aries respects directness. If you want to be more than friends and aren’t liking the direction your relationship is heading, be honest with her and tell her how you feel.

5

She’s less talkative around you.

Download Article

1. 
   When Aries pulls away, conversations can start to feel stale. If an Aries woman isn’t into you anymore, she likely won’t put effort into communication and will stop asking you questions about yourself. An Aries lady is ordinarily quick to ask her crush or partner about their daily life, family, goals, hobbies, and anything else she’s curious about. Take it as a warning sign if she’s no longer curious!

   • While this can be a sign that she’s discontent, it’s not a reason to give up on the relationship. Find out what’s bothering her, and see if she’ll give you a chance to fix the problem first.
   • Make sure that you’re paying attention to your Aries when she talks and asking her questions about herself. Vedic astrologer Tara Divina says Aries wants someone who keeps up with her mentally.

She wants more alone time.

Download Article

1. 
   Independent Aries may pull away if she feels too stifled with you. Eyedealism agrees that Aries women are incredibly independent. Even if you’re not intentionally trying to ask for too much commitment, Aries might feel like a committed relationship is limiting her independence, which could cause her to reject you. Give her the space she needs to realize that she can keep her independence and be with you simultaneously.

   • According to Divina, giving an Aries lots of space is key to keeping her happy.
   • “In those moments where they want to be left alone, [you’ve] got to leave them alone,” explain astrologers Tali & Ophira Edut. When your Aries emerges again, they say to make sure that she knows she is royalty in your eyes.
   • Reassure your Aries that you would never take away her freedom—and that you admire her independence. Ask what else you can do to support her, then let her do her thing.

She doesn’t initiate physical contact.

Download Article

1. 
   There may be a problem if Aries’ natural passion is nowhere to be found. An Aries lady is only motivated to get physical with someone she has feelings for. If she doesn’t try to touch you—either in the bedroom or casually when you’re together—it’s a big indicator that her heart may be somewhere else.

   • As a Cardinal sign, Aries is one of the zodiac’s instigators, says astrologer Mechila Blake She’s normally all about taking the reins and initiating intimacy with a partner, so it’s easy to notice when she’s losing interest.
   • However, avoiding physical contact doesn’t mean that she has no feelings for you anymore. She may just need time to figure out exactly what those feelings are. If you’re respectful of this, she may return to you in time!
   • Have an open and non-judgmental conversation with your partner about this issue. Mention that you’ve noticed the dip in intimacy and you’d love to hear their perspective on what’s happening in your relationship.
   • Reader Poll: We asked 1482 wikiHow readers what they’d do if they noticed a lack of passion in their relationship, and 50% of them agreed that they would initiate a conversation with their partner to address the issue. [Take Poll]

She doesn’t try to impress you.

Download Article

1. 
   Competitive Aries likes making the best possible impression on partners. Garbis agrees that Aries wants to excite and inspire their special someone. So, if she’s no longer making an effort to look good and show off around you, she might be moving on. You might notice she doesn’t dress up or wear makeup anymore. Plus, she likely won’t get jealous of other people who show interest in you, which Aries will typically do if she likes you.

   • Aries women put a lot of effort into relationships, but they also understand it’s a two-way street. If she feels you aren’t putting in as much effort, that may be her reason for rejecting you.
   • Check in with your Aries and make sure she’s satisfied with your effort in the relationship. If she’s not, ask what you can do differently and take her suggestions seriously.

9

She criticizes you.

Download Article

1. 
   Aries is judgmental but rarely complains about the people she cares for. If she thinks a relationship is done, she might start to criticize and nitpick your actions. Ruled by Mars, the planet of passion and aggression, Aries isn’t afraid to let people know when she thinks they’re wrong. She might complain that you don’t understand her and blow mistakes out of proportion.

   • If your Aries has a valid criticism—for instance, feeling that you don’t understand her enough—sit down and explain that you’re willing to work on this, but it would help if she voiced concerns more constructively.
   • Garbis agrees, saying, “If an Aries is fighting with you, then they fiercely love you, but [they] may need to find better ways to understand or express it.”
   • On the other hand, her criticisms may become insults if she feels that you’ve done something wrong. Aries can be vengeful when her partner cheats or otherwise betrays her trust.
   • If you’ve done something to upset an Aries, genuinely apologize to her. Tell her what you’re sorry for and express your genuine remorse for hurting her.
   • Astrologer and spiritual coach Aliza Kelly says that Aries tends to get worked up easily, but once they release their steam, they get over it. She notes that these signs “don’t really hold grudges.”

She tells other people first.

Download Article

1. 
   Impulsive Aries may tell other people about a breakup before telling you. It’s in her impatient nature to move on to new challenges before old ones have been fully resolved, so you might actually hear about her intentions to end things from mutual friends rather than her personally.

   • Keep in mind that she’s not necessarily doing this to hurt you (although it’s perfectly normal to be hurt); she’s just not thinking about the consequences of involving other friends.

11

She tells you directly.

Download Article

1. 
   Straightforward and action-oriented Aries will likely just tell you the truth. She’s not one to keep you guessing or drag out a relationship if she’s not interested anymore. Garbis says that “Aries have a natural courageousness to tell you how they feel,” so “they can not hold things back or keep things secret for very long.” She may be blunt, but if an Aries woman doesn’t feel the same way, she’ll come right out and tell you so.

   • As Blake explains, “If they like you, you’ll know. If they don’t, you’ll know that too.”
   • Rather than trying to change her mind, accept it gracefully and do your best to move on, even if you still like her. Aries may second-guess her decision when she sees you living your best life!
   • Even if she doesn’t come back, you deserve to be with someone who understands how awesome you are! If that isn’t her, maybe moving on is for the best.
