This taurus woman is nice and kind but after I have to chance to know her for awhile, she's really cold. Let's call her Sarah. Sarah and I would go on cruise and outing where we would watch the sunset at the beach or just go to some romantic place. However she says it isn't a date. She says it's normal for friends to do this (I don't agree). From my first relationship experience, I took this one extremely slow because I thought that was the better idea. But she told me, because "we're too close, she can't see me as anything else but a close friend". Of course her being colder then usual after me confessing to her is normal, I acknowledge that, that was going to happen. She told me she can't show her feelings very well, whether through words or action (and she's not willing to). Maybe thats one reason I see her as being cold. She never treated me well as a friend (she admitted it). Being a leo, I guess I'm not sure if I can handle this much from her. We're in a trial month where we're seeing if we should continue to be friends or not. Sarah, a taurus woman is really cold in my eyes. I'm hoping to see if any taurus can confirm whether being cold is normal.

Actually, Taurus is one of the most affectionate and loving signs and definitely the warmest of the earth bunch. It's another influence in her chart.

This sounds Aqua/11th house to me.

It's true that they rarely get deep into their emotions, but they'll listen to your problems and share theirs if you make it clear how much you genuinely care about them. Overall, I think they are the sort that wants to keep things light and funny, they can literally make a joke out of anything. They usually don't want anyone to worry about them though they appreciate it. If they trust you, they'll open up and you'll see their warm, adorable, caring side. All of my Taurus friends have admitted that they suck at communicating what they want to say emotionally, but I think it just means they need someone patient and understanding enough to listen. Don't force or push.



I agree with this statement 100% .
Virgos know us so well, it's scary.

I'm not a very emotional person, but I am very affectionate.
This level of affection is not instant, it's organic, gradual, and selective.
If I touch you, it's not on a list of pre-requisites, or mandatory or an act of obligation,
I have simply decided to let my guards down for you, I'm genuinely listening with an empathetic ear, and expressing myself in physical ways, I'm staring at you because I'm taking you all in, and when you're puzzled by my silence, all I'm thinking of are solutions to make your life or difficult transition a lot smoother.

Just because a reaction isn't instant, doesn't mean it's cold or disingenuous.
Leo Suns and Leo Moons have trouble understanding this sometimes.
Loving everyone in a brief courtship vs loving one person in long gradual courtship.

Moving fast isn't always necessary.

Some things in life are priceless.

Getting butterflies in your stomach, listening to the other individual, studying them, and then...a long kiss.

These things are not prized anymore.

Too much instant gratification. Too much individuals getting all worked up too soon...missing out on a much bigger experience.

This was my experience as well; not verbally expressive but affectionate and expressive in his actions over time. It's the difference between someone showing you how much they care every day rather than simply telling you.

Leos tend to work on a combination of passion and instinct; we know when something is right, when something fits and it's in our nature to go after it. Not necessarily because we can love everyone, or because we love briefly. We want something that lasts, something unique and amazing, and we'd rather seize the moment than risk it passing us by.

I think that's where misunderstandings can occur, because it's never enough to be true to our nature, we need to understand and respect other people's natures as well.

Taurus takes the time to nurture the opportunity rather than seize it, letting it deepen and unfold in its own time. This is part of who they are, and to try and change that is to try and change them. If a Leo respects this and supports it with their warmth and loyalty they may get to see a Taurus build trust and open up to them rather than feel pressured and shut down.

Interesting what you say about Leos, I found it to be true, the bolded part especially. I'm romancing with a Leo man and while we both know that there is realistically no chance of us ever being together as an official couple, he still goes - "I know that this won't last forever. But let it last.". And he still has the guts to say that he's in love with me, that he's never felt for anyone like he feels for me. Knowing that the more he falls, the closer he gets, the more it will one day hurt. And I know that it's sincere. I used to tell him not to say those things, now I just let it be. Seize the moment, right? And what you say about Leo having to realize that Taurus wants things to unfold at it's own natural pace is true in our case as well. The sentence I repeat to him the most must be "Stop hurrying me up!". It makes him laugh. Then I laugh as well, because what else can two incompatible signs do. 😛

I think it's being opposite in our approaches, but equally fixed in our ways. Oh the beauty of squared signs haha

The way that a Taurus opens up more with their actions as they trust and feel for someone, a Leo does by being verbally expressive, affectionate and generous. He likes showing his care through consideration, thoughtfulness and making time for me. I enjoy spoiling him with gifts, compliments and affection.

He used to resist this a LOT, and it took a lot for him to understand that that was how I naturally expressed my feelings. Now he simply accepts my nature for what it is and comments that "Resistance is futile." To which I parrot one of HIS trademark phrases "I do what I want!"

Acceptance of each other and being able to laugh at ourselves goes such a long way with a pairing like this hehe

had a similar experience dating a Taurus male Jeckyll and Hyde in fact I have never met a more vindictive mean personality in my life all the courting thing is pure bliss everything you read about Taurus Taurus but once feelings and emotions come in to play and things get real pure narcissim and complete lack of empathy

being a bit of an astrologer I compared his chart to Hitlers - both have Taurus sun, Venus conjunct mars in the 7th and Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Libra

This individual even has the mars and venus in cancer and Neptune conjunct the ascendant so essentially they should be a beautiful psychic caring soul who is capable of empathy they say to run from a Mars Square Pluto they aren't playing when they say this

I have already found myself in a similar situation with a leo guy. As a taurus myself, I found that leo can be very hasty in his decisions and quickly want to take things further while taurus needs more time and more thinking. In my opinion and I'm very sorry to tell you that but I think that she doesn't really like you. It is true that taurus find it hard to communicate when it comes to feelings but that doesn't mean they won't make an effort and find the right words when it comes to someone they really like. I also think that the reason you think she's cold is because she's not really interested, so she's either trying to be nice, or maybe she does appreciate your company as a friend.

This sounds like a win-win situation 😉

A Leo provides patience.
A Taurus will give a Leo a love that will lasts.

This Leo learned patience by having it quietly and endlessly drummed into her head by the saintly-patient Taurus LOL

I think being fixed signs they both want the stability and security of a love that lasts.

The Taurus provides stability through patience, thoughtfulness and understanding.
The Leo provides security through open honesty, unabashed expressiveness and endless affection.

If they can work with each other instead of against each other it can definitely be win-win: good food, cuddles, passion, the odd adventure, can't imagine wanting any more than that 😉

I am passionate but not so much affectionate. But yeah action will show alot. I love hugs but not just to anyone.. I barely give hugs to my co workers in need when they are down. I usually just listen and give advice if they want. I hope someday I can be both affectionate and passionate with the right person. Ill give you my all.. just askfor stability, respect, and honesty and trust..

Yes and yes and yes. I have a block on my mouth when it comes to expressing emotions. Which is funny BC of my Gemini rising. But I am awesome at written communication...probably BC its less confrontational. But my cancer man doesn't like emotional convos via text BC you have time to think of what to say...both good and bad.

And every single relationship, love or familial, and many friends..say I am cold. Its just how we are. Bedroom is another story though. Perhaps thata why we communicate our feelings thru touch and sex so emphatically. We're trying to make up for everything we can't say. Although that doesn't work with family and friends... But they're supposed to love you unconditionally anyway lol.

I had a similar situation with a virgo friend of mine. We would talk on the phone everyday, and one day he said that friends don't talk everyday like that. I told him that I did not see him as more than a friend. I was never intentionally cold, but according to him I hurt his feelings often. I got a Taurus boyfriend soon after, and we were together for 3 years and then I moved out of the country for another 3. We remained distant friends, but when I moved back to the states he did not want to come visit. He later asked me about my love life and when I told him that I was talking to another guy, he said that he couldn't be friends with me anymore. He said that he'd been in love with me since we met and the only person happy in our friendship was him. I say all this to say that I was honest with my intentions from the beginning, and we were never intimate. Just be sure that you take her word for what it is, and don't try to move too fast. If you can handle being her friend then do that, and don't allow yourself get hurt.

I am a Taurus..I will do exactly like your ex did..Disown you..

I don't need that many friends, I pick my friends selectively. I am quite social and people just come naturally to me, but not too overly social in the person I maybe interested in..Yes have friends is good, but don't hide them and always introduce them.. Yes it's good for me and bad for me. If your a male there is no way male and female can be friends especially after sex. I've been through it.

A. Because I had or have feelings for you at some point and may still wonder about you. I can't move on until both are separated permanently.
B. You find another interest and that person is possessive just like I am. I back off and leave permanently.. I will give your space and freedom and let someone else deal with you..
C. They did some dirt on you while you were friends especially if we are kinda messing around or we are spending time alot more than normal. Then we become enemies quickly..

If I had feelings for you and since I am a deep emotional person. I will let you go too. I will never want to see you.. I will move on eventually and think what did I do and how can I change..

My less affectionate side is more from my Aquarius moon sign I have really. It is its also a sign where i can have this I don't care attitude and detach.. But if I am liking you for some reason then it gets harder for me to let you go, because I believe in working it out.. Cause my Taurus earth sign wants both communication, sincerity, slow, and hugs for me to get all lovey dovey. And feelings involved that are true god damn it. I have been told I have attitude when I really don't so I look cold and mean but not at all..If you took the time to get to know me, you'll see! Until then I am a strict stern poker face type.
