Can You Change a Taurus Man's Mind and How

Changing a Taurus man's mind can be challenging due to their stubborn nature. Building trust, showing patience, and presenting logical, sincere reasons are effective strategies. Respect their need for stability and avoid rushing decisions to increase your chances of influencing their perspective.

lol its so crazy, I tried that and it totally didn't work 😒

Well, when that doesn't work I ignore him for the rest of the day so he sees how frustrated I am lol I guess that's another guilt trip? πŸ˜› haha

Idk it really depends. I'm a Taurus as well, but I'm open to changing my mind depending on the situation.

lol that could of worked if it were a lighter situation..I think you commented on my last post but basically I found out my taurus isn't dating anyone else, he told me he did want a relationship with me, he's just letting the 'thoughts'of history I had with his friend get in the way.I personally don't wanna let him go because things were so great before he started overthinking.

It is possible, but you won't change it: immediately, with two much explanation/words (the less is more), by raising your voice or yelling, don't argue, do not say "you are wrong I am right". Do that and he will refuse to change. Don't force it. He will only dug in deeper. He will be so rooted that you will only find yourself exhausted.

I see Taurus as sensitive creatures, they react better on emotions then on logic. Not saying you should play on emotional manipulation, but simply whatever you do, do it gently and with calmness. Do it with heart. Taurus nature is feminine nature. Any kind of combativeness and aggression will transform them into rock.

That's only my point of view. Hope it will help πŸ™‚

and yeah, as RainDancer said: Be real! Sincerity and boldness.

and as KittyKnitter said:

he can be swayed by emotion but to get to that side of him, i have to be absolutely candid with him. only he has power over what he thinks, feels and does. i have power over me. i don't want to control him or make him change his mind, i just tell it like it is. i give him time to think about it and he either gets on board or he doesn't. saying what we mean can get us in hot water because it's not always pretty but it gets the truth out in the open and that matters.

If you are talking about a Taurus walking away from a relationship/dating, his mind is made up and it's based on reason.

With a Taurus, you don't demand or play games. You allow them to come to their own conclusion. Fighting it gets you nowhere.

We are pretty stubborn. When we draw a line you can't brush off easily. If you stay consistent and gain our trust back you can change our mind. That can take few months or years or maybe never.

I think you have to prove things to them. My father was a Taurus and at the age of 22 I left home but this was to move into an apartment that he had secured for me through his employer (he was quite senior in his company): this sounds good as it was on a low rent and all, but the bottom line was that I really wanted to make my own way without his help, however he would always get hurt and confused if you refused his help 😒 A couple of years later I moved out of that apartment but again this was to move to another apartment on similar terms. Eventually I moved out of there contrary to his advice and in due course found a decent apartment without him having to find it for me (perhaps I should say that finding accommodation was a challenge due to employment difficulties). Anyway, eventually my father (unprompted) confessed that he had previously thought me an idiot to have left my previous apartment but that he now admitted that I had managed to find a decent place without his help.

With regard to my vocation, I feel that I should have been an architect and wish that I had not listened to him when he poured cold water on that idea: if I had PERSISTED with that idea and not taken no for an answer I think that might have changed his mind as Tauruses are known for their own persistence and so presumably admire it in others.
