So, there’s this guy in the office...he’s cute, and you’re pretty sure he’s single, but you don’t really know that much about him. Maybe you’ve made eye contact a couple of times. Maybe he’s smiled at you. Maybe he’s said, “Hi.” You want to say more, strike up a conversation, but what exactly are you going to say? What if you say the wrong thing and stumble at the first hurdle? What are his likes and dislikes? What interests him? What bores him to tears? Are you his type? And, more importantly, is he (appearances aside) your type? Wouldn’t it be better if you knew a little bit more about this guy before you started to talk to him? Wouldn’t it be better if you knew a lot more? You could ask around, chat to a few of his friends and colleagues, but what if word got back to him? Maybe he values his privacy and would be uncomfortable with the idea of someone conducting an investigation into his character, even if they had the best of intentions. He might even think you’re one of those women, a little bit, well... stalker-ish?

Well, there is a way you can find out a surprising amount about him, without tipping him off as to your intentions and without running the risk of being on the business end of a restraining order. In fact, you have access to a vast database of information about this guy and you won’t need to enlist the talents of a computer hacker to get at it. No, all you need is his date of birth. Because once you have his date of birth, you’ll be able to figure out which sign of the zodiac he was born under. And, once you know which sign of the zodiac he was born under, you can begin to ascertain what he likes and dislikes, what interests him, what bores him to tears, whether or not you’re his type, and, more importantly, whether or not he’s your type.
