When the Dragon man is paired with the Rat woman, he’s the one to dominate in their relationship while she’s making sure his every need is being satisfied. Men born under the Dragon Chinese sign are reliable, responsible, passionate and pragmatic. They can also be possessive when in a long-term relationship, trying their best to always know where their partner is and what she’s doing.

The Chinese zodiac is suggesting the Dragon man and the Rat woman can’t be happy as a couple or business partners, but that they can have a successful affair, especially if they decide to keep it casual and to not make any commitment.
This means they’re very good at dating one another. She’s very sociable, whereas he enjoys being in the centre of attention and going to different parties all over town.
They seem to have the same goals and usually plan their life according to what their friends are doing, so they have a few things in common. If investing some efforts into their relationship together, they could, perhaps, end up having a beautiful marriage and family.
The Dragon man is energetic, a pioneer of life and always ready to make his wife happy, especially if she’s only loyal to him. The intelligent and friendly Rat woman can see her Dragon husband as her hero and may want to be with him all the time.
As far as their finances go, he would make sure that she has everything she needs, while she would waste a lot of their money on luxurious things. This means they would be economically suited for one another, especially since he doesn’t mind that she’s spending too much.
As far as sex goes, he would be very passionate and energetic in bed, impressing her with his techniques and libido. She may be confused in the beginning, but if she decides to stroke his ego and to go with what he has to offer, they can be very happy in the bedroom.
When the reality hits them and they reveal their true sides, he may not like her for being too settled, as she always wants something exciting and extraordinary. He also doesn’t like seeing her calculating every risk, which can convince him to leave and look for someone else sooner than later.
As soon as she would no longer caring and loving with him, things would end without any questions asked. All this means both of them need to make some efforts if they want to be together for a lifetime.
A meaningful relationship
Different from the Chinese zodiac sign of the Pig or the Rabbit, the Rat woman can’t negotiate with the Dragon man, not convince him to be less egotistic and demanding, so she may want to retreat and be comfortable on her own.
Their relationship would be long lasting if the Dragon man would try less to dominate. This would have his Rat lady respecting him more. While they both love going out, neither of them wants that much to make new friends, even if the Rat woman can adapt to any situation or person and doesn’t mind dealing with the unknown and the Dragon man likes a challenge.
At least the Rat woman and the Dragon man would both be enthusiastic if approached in a meaningful and interesting manner, by people who have common interests with them.
The Dragon man can help the Rat woman put order into her ideas and make things happen, as she usually doesn’t put her ideas into practice because she’s too disorganized.
On the other hand, she could help him see the big picture, no longer have an ego or allow impulses to drive him. This means they’re a great team when together, especially if both ready to change their views on things and to make some compromises in order to be happy as a couple.
They could collaborate as business partners as well, as he would make sure everything is running smoothly and she would bring in some clients. A family business would be a good idea for them if they would get married at some point.
