Not quite like the others
Most people meet someone friendly, curious and slightly off to one side of whatever the group is doing. There may be an unusual haircut, an unusual job or a very unusual question over the crisps. You talk to the host and the host’s teenage kid the same way, without seeming to notice any difference in status, and people find that disarming.
There’s an interest in you that isn’t really personal, which can be restful. You seem to find everyone quite interesting, and you don’t seem to need anything from them.
Cool, or just thinking
That even friendliness can get read as detachment, and some assume you don’t feel things much, or that you like humanity more than you like them. They might assume you’re happy to be alone, or a rebel by nature, or that you’ll have an opinion on everything. A Cancer Moon or Taurus Sun might be sitting under this manner, wanting a settled home and a Sunday roast, while everyone assumes you’re off to join something.
There’s also a bit of a trap in being known as the different one. You may keep up the role after you’ve stopped enjoying it, or feel you can’t admit to liking perfectly ordinary things.
Showing interest
The tricky bit in dating is that you may treat your date just as warmly as you treat the bartender. They can’t tell they’re getting anything special. So tell them. “I’ve been looking forward to this” is a bold sentence for you, and it clears up a lot. Interest in their ideas is a good start, and showing interest in them as a person gets you further.
If you’ve just met one, friendship is often the door, and it’s worth going through without rushing. Because Rising is the sign on the eastern horizon at the time of birth, it takes a real time to find, and people born a couple of hours apart can have this one or their neighboring Pisces.
