From making your partner breakfast, to buying them flowers or getting invested in their favorite TV show, there are hundreds of easy ways to show them how much you love them. These reminders might not seem like huge deals, but chances are, your partner notices them, appreciates them, and hopefully, they're letting you know it. That being said, there is no sweeter, simpler gesture to show you're star-crossed than to randomly text your partner a romantic quote, based on their zodiac sign. (And before you start talking yourself out of this wonderful idea, no, romantic quotes don't have to be cheesy. This is not college lit class and you don't have to be too "deep" or emotional if you don't want to be.)
Sending your partner something cute in the middle of the day is a great way to let them know you're thinking about them, but when you're stumped for inspiration, leave it to the great writers, poets, and songwriters who have already put your feelings into words. Selecting a quote to send them based on their zodiac sign is an even more special way to make sure they absolutely love it. Here are a few celestially romantic quotes to send, based on their sign.
