When you're being ignored by a Gemini, knowing what to do is confusing.

There are a million reasons a Gemini could be ignoring you — they’re busy, distracted, scared, or simply not into the relationship.

Whether it’s your Gemini bestie who stopped picking up the phone or your new partner who now has 15 read texts from you, being ignored never feels good.

It can be confusing and hurtful to wake up one day and everything has changed with no explanation.

You may be wondering what to do. Should you ignore him back or push to see what's up?

First, let's go over some background and a few key traits of the sign so you can learn a little more about what you're dealing with.

Gemini signs are born between May 21st and June 21st.

There are a few key traits that will help you understand a Gemini more and figure out the best way to appeal to them.

Gemini signs are known for being extremely intelligent, adaptable, and independent.

They value their space and freedom immensely and are not the type to appreciate clingy people or those who aren't willing to grow with them.

Gemini signs need their space and time to be independent and do what they want to do.

This may seem like they don't want to spend time with you occasionally but know it is only because they need their personal space to recharge.

They are not the type to be overly emotional in conversation, though they do love to chat and flirt.

So—when they open up about their emotions it is extremely important to listen to them.

They have a bad reputation for being two-faced but this is unfair as once a Gemini is in your life, they are there for the long haul.

Here's what to do when a Gemini ignores you:

1. Stay calm.

The first step is to be confident and calm.

When you discover you’re being ignored, you may want to be aggressive and get to the bottom of the why.

This is a natural reaction, but unfortunately, the wrong one to act on with Gemini signs.

Gemini signs need their space to figure their feelings out and won’t appreciate overcrowding.

Insecurity turns off Gemini signs, so it’s important to be as calm and collected as possible.

A Gemini will remember and respect this about you and know that you can handle yourself.

2. Don't get jealous.

A big reason Gemini signs ignore people in the first place is because of pushy people.

Gemini signs hate jealousy and being told what they can and can’t do.

If your first reaction when you’re being ignored is to wonder “why me?” and “are they still hanging out with everyone else” that’s totally normal.

However, it’s best to not voice these concerns when you finally do have a conversation about what’s going on.

Bringing up other people won’t help your case, and if you’re a naturally jealous person, find ways to hold back on displaying it at this time.

3. Give them space.

Space is the best thing for a Gemini when they are feeling skittish, overwhelmed, or confused.

This time is important for them to figure out their thoughts and feelings.

If you try to push into their space, they will resent you for it.

Gemini signs are not the type to ignore you but still want you to hound them with texts and calls.

When they want to be alone, they mean it.

You’ll have your chance to express your feelings when they’re ready and not a moment sooner.

4. Listen to what they say

Finally, when it’s time for the big talk, make sure you really listen to what your Gemini has to say.

It’s crucial to be attentive and understanding when a Gemini is explaining their actions and feelings.

Nothing will push them away faster than only focusing on your own needs instead of theirs.

When it’s time for you to say your piece, take all the time you need.

However, when your Gemini is talking make sure to really listen and try to understand them.
