An Aries man will shower you with attention and exclamations of love one day and be distant and aloof the next. They are ambitious and competitive, and so they revel in the thrill of the chase. They can be impulsive and bad-tempered, which may lead to them making rash decisions, such as ending a relationship that they were overall very happy in. The good news is that Aries has many positive qualities as well.

It's true that the Aries man has a tendency to find himself in squabbles and fights. How could we expect anything less from a sign ruled by Mars? It's true that Aries is stubborn. There's a reason the sign is characterized by the ram. The Aries man can put his head down and ardently bang away at any obstacle. But when an Aries man finds a woman who truly understands him and makes him feel safe, he's likely to put that stubbornness and passion to use fighting for the relationship. Aries is a hopeless romantic and he will rarely walk away from a relationship when he feels it is meant to be. Aries believes in true love above all else, and so he'll let his ruling planet take the lead, and he will go to war for the right woman. If you and your Aries man have broken up, all hope is not lost! Aries men are not opposed to giving a failed relationship a second try.

Let's talk about some of the ways to lock down the heart of the Aries man, after the flames of passion have cooled. Understanding how the Aries man thinks, you can work with his attributes, rather than against them, as you attempt to piece your once-great love back together again.

Don't play games

The Aries man is direct and self-expressive. He will let you know how he feels. You should do the same, but try not to be too assertive. It's a fine line you'll have to walk. The Aries man in a natural leader and he will want to be the one to take charge, especially when it comes to romantic endeavors. Let him know that you miss him and want to give your love a second try, but don't push the issue after you've done this. Put the ball in his court and wait for him to put it through the net.

Don't try to make him jealous

This will backfire on you. The Aries man can be hot-tempered and insensitive, but this is only a defense mechanism. This is how the Aries man covers up his vulnerable side. If he sees you flirting with other men, this is likely to wound him immensely, and he won't be quick to trust you again.

Have thick skin

Aries can sometimes be crueler than he intends to be, but only because under that hard exterior, he is very soft. He is protecting himself, because he is hurt quite easily. When you're in the process of rekindling an Aries flame, be aware of the Aries man's motivations for his unkind words and don't take it personally. Be accommodating and forgiving. The good news is that Aries men are also very forgiving themselves, so once he's had his say, he'll be ready to take you back with open arms.

Give him space

Aries men are independent. They won't stand for being smothered. You can't cling to him, make demands of him, or insist that he cancel plans with his friends to spend time with you. Aries is a restless and adventurous spirit. If you don't allow him room to explore and follow all of his enterprising pursuits, he's likely to fight back against the sense of confinement he is feeling. Understand that your Aries man is not a pet parakeet. He is more like a barn cat. He'll go out, claim his territory, and have all kinds of adventures, but at the end of the day he'll come home to you, because he loves you and feels secure in the freedom that you allow him.

Let him be the man

The Aries man is both chivalrous and dominating. He wants a woman who is intelligent and captivating, but never one that outshines him. For this relationship to work, you'll have to be comfortable playing the role of beta. That's not to say that you can't still be a successful, independent, and impressive beta, but never show up the alpha.

Know what you're getting into

The Aries man is an enigma. He is complex and flawed, but is also highly generous and loving. If you can get past his brusque and sometimes unintentionally selfish exterior, you'll find a glimmering heart of gold beneath the armor he wears. His armor is a lot like the horns of the ram. He uses it to protect himself and fight for what he believes in; sometimes blindly, with his head down and his path set. But the ram will shower you with affection and devotion if he comes to trust you, and realizes that he doesn't need to use his impressive horns against you. When an Aries finds his true love, he is a most protective, devoted, and fiercely loyal companion.
