Have you ever had a great flirtation going with someone and all of a sudden realize that you've totally lost that person's attention -- or that instead of a big smile you're getting the hairy eyeball? What'd you say? What'd you do?

There's a good chance you made a supreme star-crossed gaffe -- but were completely unaware of it. Avoid repeating that scenario by finding out your date's sign (c'mon, it's really not that hard or that cheesy to ask!), and then proceed, armed with the knowledge below and the stars on your side.
