Aries female & Taurus male

What are things I should look for that are typically misinterpreted? (I am the Aries)
I've known this guy for years and he's a good person-a quality that is very difficult to find. I consider myself to be face value and finding this in another individual is something I want to hang onto. Being of truth of emotion and fact is what I'm looking for. My usual m.o. is truth of fact while ignoring all emotion.
I feel I have dated many people who were wrong for me and now I'm ready to be happy. I am actually quite happy and just purchased a home by myself (*bows*). And so in a sense I feel grounded in the independence I fiercely seek and thus ready to be with an adult.
He is recently divorced with 2 young girls, and while this is not ideal, it oddly doesn't bother me. I do get a bit nervous when he mentions how I'll meet them down the road, but of course we both realize this is *if* something blossoms.
For once in my life, there is no emotional turmoil. I feel.. completed. If things don't work out with him, I still have myself. =D

Taurus' are the masters of stringing someone along just because they've got a natural flare with the ladies. They're sensual and even when communicating friendship they can be touchy-feely, which to the Aries (well, typical Aries) would normally be a green light.

The fact that he's talking about you meeting his girls is a GREAT sign. Taurus' are FIERCELY protective and come off secretive about their families. Sometimes it has to do with them... sometimes it has to do with the fact that they themselves are still getting comfortable around you, and they want to make sure they can handle you and like you before they throw you in the bin with the fam. In a way, them accepting you is like incorporating yourself into their family (hope that made sense). Even though Taurus' can be greedy and stubborn, they're a very loyal and no BS sign which I love. Plus, nothing I ever do (all my antics) bothers them enough to make a 'deal' out of. They're great rocks.

Thank you for this. We've known each other for 5 years and the first time I met him I was floored. He is gorgeous. There are feelings and thoughts in his eyes. I really have a clear, good feeling about this.

I feel like he and I are very intuitively connected to one

another. There are just things we know without needing to be said. It's very nice.

It's a horrible mess with his ex. She's an alcoholic and he stayed with her for several months after confirming that she was cheating on him.

I wouldn't hurt him just because he's too kind to deserve being disregarded.

Do Aries and Taurus generally work out long-term? I've been researching only to find that most are flings. We have both agreed to take things very slowly and despite his having children, he's nervous around me.

Take it very slow. The ex is still the mother if I read this right and eventually you will have to form a relationship of some sort with her posibbly depending on the way their custody goes.

Yes, Taurus and Aries can be a great connection when both are ready.

true, I will have to face the ex eventually. I do like kids and am nervous to think of meeting them. They are young- 9 and 7. I definitely wouldn't want to create any friction or confusion for them so safe to say the day wouldn't come unless it gets pretty serious.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be boring. I have dated many different signs. Younger and older guys. But timing certainly is everything and honestly I just feel ready for something real.

The Aries Venus in me has a difficult time releasing feeling, while he does not. He is ADHD and I am calm. Seems very complimentary I think.

I've never had the butterflies before. EVER. And I'm really enjoying every second of this.

I think I'm looking for calm, domestic bliss. I have ALOT of fire in my chart, so I just want somewhere safe to be. My favorite thing to do is stay and home and play house. I'll go out and get a beer or whatever, but I don't need it. I feel so overstimulated as is so home is my haven.

If this is the "boring" predictable you're talking about, I think I'll enjoy it. Sometimes not having drama is a good thing.

Ahh! this combo cuts me deeply to the core

^^^ your scorp moon will probably attract taurus - opposite sign effect.


bulls love their homes...and creature comforts who doesn't?


There is too much focus on the externalities of aries and taurus...

- homebody, predictable, calm, domestic, etc, does not strictly equal taurus. The major difference between aries and taurus is the methods with which they deal with the same issues/things, the way their mind functions, etc... these are subconscious, that causes the usual issues... it can be resolved with some self-consciousness as long as no one tries to change their natural ways for the other. Acceptance is key for both.

Thank you. This really makes sense. My need for independence versus his need for complete acceptance seems to be the only issue (if you'd call it that) we have.
I keep telling him how intuitive I am about people's feelings. He didn't understand really until today. I think he's used to hiding from people; or simply finding people to care for who don't truly care for him. He is very kind; selfless.
Anyhow, I told him I knew he was scared. He was afraid that my needing a bit of alone time meant bad news on the horizon. It doesn't. He laughed his nervous laugh and kept asking how I knew that.
It just totally makes sense to me though. I have to understand he is thinking about forever. I have to know this. I have to constantly feel it. At the same time, he needs to understand I need to feel independent. I told him I know I'm not since I'm with him now, but sometimes I need to be fooled.
Common understanding. Our approach to things is so similar yet based on entirely different things. He is all heart; I am all logic.
