Can I get out of friend zone with Taurus man?

Heya,

I'm 31 yo Leo woman interested in an older (44 yo) Taurus man. I'm not sure if he is a "typical" taurus, I don't know him much, but I'm definitely a bit confused. We met a couple of weeks ago on a dating app. He said in his profile that he was looking for someone sweet, to be friends first and see where it goes. I usually don't take things very slow, but I thught I'd give it a try as he seemed to be really interesting guy. He's not much communicative when texting and the first week before I met him in person I thought meeting him would be disaster...but it was not, and I actually really enjoyed it and he seemed the same. Next couple of days we met for coffee or drink at night and it was great. He always told me how awesome I was and gave a hug when took me back home. I didn't see him a week after that because he doesn't live in the city where I live and comes only for a couple of days a week to work. I couldn't wait till the end of the week to see him and I got some exciting messages from him meanwhile (I want to see you, I want to take you on a proper date, I want to cuddle up on a couch with you and watch tv, etc...actually it started to feel a bit too much for me at that stage but I liked him and wanted to see him too of course). Because of my work we couldn't have the "proper date" but went just for drinks and then ended up watching a movie in his friends place (separated unit) where he stayed while in the city. It was a bit awkward. I am quite shy when it comes to expressing affection in the begining. Eventually he grabbed my hand. We were both pretty tired and decided I'd stay overnight. He kissed me and we cuddled. Next morning we went for coffee and breakfast and it felt ok to me. But then again just hug in the car and when I sent him two messages, his replies were not very enthusiastic. Well, I knew he was coming this weekend to the city so I waited. and during that time almost no contact from his side. He said there was a bit too much going on in his life atm, which is actually truth (separated from his wife, kids that will go live with mum overseas etc). And then on saturday he texted me if could meet for coffee the next day. Eventually I went to see him to his work (he makes tattoos), we chatted a bit and then grabbed a coffee and then he had to leave again. But when we were on the way to his car he started to talk about what he feels to me... seems he likes me as a friend, he even mentioned the word SISTER (??!!)

Well, this followes the previous message, as it has limited space.

So he said he likes me as a friend but also that I am beatiful, so I think he is attracted to me. It was a bit confusing as he also said something like possibly in the future he could feel more for me. And that he'd love to hang out with me and get to know me better. I didn't know how to react but I tried to be understanding. To be honest, I don't know him much but I'm attracted to him and I'd love to know him better and get intimate with him and date.
When he left I texted him what I feel and that I understand I'd love to hang out. But later I just couldn't resist and asked why he kissed me. He replied because I'm beautiful and he thought it would go that way but as he said before HE DOESN'T FEEL IT. And that he was not sure last week.

Will I be in friend zone forever or can that change? I'm also confused from his behaviour (messages) before that night we kissed (so enthusiastic about me) and after that...what the hell happened that night that he doesn't want to go further?

If you like him and you are willing to wait years for him to choose you, kick back and relax. STOP right now with trying to figure out if you will ever get out of the friend zone. That kind of thinking will damage you when dealing with a taurus man. If you are looking for someone to be in a relationship with and he is not ready, DO NOT proceed. He will be able very busy protecting his heart to fulfill your needs. Taurus men are slow, when I say slow, I mean years slow! Not days, not weeks and not months, YEARSSSSSS! LOL I laugh because I took all warnings lightly. Leos are passionate lovers and taurus men will with hold what a leo needs until its comfortable for them, most of the time us leo move on or get stuck in the FWB trap never to see a relationship flourish with these men. Please know this is not a Libra or Sagittarius man you are dealing with.

If you decide to ride the wave, brace yourself for a journey, don't have any expectations or fantasies of anything more that friends. Remain true to yourself, always express your feelings and do your best to communicate with him. There is nothing, I mean nothing easy about allowing a taurus man into you life.

Good luck!!!

Most Taurus men will want to get to know you before entering into a committed relationship UNLESS there's an automatic passionate attraction from the very beginning, so the fact that he still wants to keep you on as a friend is a good thing. You will know in another month or so if he's planning on taking the relationship to the next level. Every relationship I've been in with Taurus men and there have been quite a few, it automatically started out as a deep relationship, but then ended in friendship, so in my case it was reversed. Mainly because the Taurus dudes I was involved with became a little too clingy for me. I've always loved Taurus men and have always had an affinity towards them, but in every case it ended because of that reason. I love them to death though, but it was always a love/hate relationship...lol. They are really good men as most Earth signs are.

Thanks all for replies.
I suppose I wanted to understand his behaviour that changed and to know if there's is a possibility to change my status (I guess there's always chance, but nobody can tell you what will really happen and if) with a guy with this sign (if it has anything to do with that though).
I'm interested in him, but as I said before, I actually don't know him much. So either I'll find out he's really great or he's not and in that case I'll be open to meet other people and move on. I'm going to accept, that we are just friends and will see what (if) happens. I'm not very patient though, so in case it should take him a long time, I'm not sure I'd be still there for him.

He's separated already quiet a long time, so she's not an issue, it's rather about sorting family and material matters. I got the impression it all is just too much for him and stressing.
I don't think he would like to have sex just for sex (I think the kissing proved it).

Thanks for comment.

Well now I'm not sure he really meant it when he said he definitely wanted to hang out and get to know me better. Two days without contact, which is just fine. Then yesterday asking me how I am. So I replied and later wanted to ask some things about fixing my tattoo (we spoke on sunday about it and that he'd be this week in my city so we could do it) and about his availiability. No answer until today morning (when I knew he was already here, according the dating app we use that has gps) saying that in next few weeks he won't be here much for work but then he'll be here full time. Alright..??!! What's this about? I know he's here for work at least for two days and couldn't fit me in the schedule and is letting me know that maybe after one month (looks like even seeing me out of work if ever would be that time)..Avoiding me?

That's what he said. Well, we know each others short time, but in the begining according his behaviour there could have been more..I don't know. Well, at least he was honest with me..

Yeah, maybe :/ But I told him everything's fine and we can hang out as friends.

Hey I am dealing with similar situation.. may I know what happened with this taurus guy? Me being a leo can't wait for so long but don't wanna let him go as well :/

just IMO but...creatures of habit and comfort....since the couch is pretty much the endgame for bulls, find a series you both like and he'll agree to watch - basically any way to plant your flag on his couch with his preferred food in hand, always smelling and looking your best, as often as possible; in time he'll come to see you as an essential part of his living room spread....friend zone may seem like a demotion but with bulls it can also be the best way to get to them if you are around them enough....if you feel the need to be your self occasionally, you can stir up some very slight drama once a month at most, to challenge your status as just another piece of his furniture and nudge him further along in his commitment....nothing too serious, just slight decrease in comfort - like maybe retract the spooning/cuddling for a bit because it feels too intimate if you're "just friends", etc....

often takes time and presence for them to build real feelings and they may take you for granted and not even realize those feelings have become as strong as they are, until a change comes....don't get all crazy about the timing of text messages and whatnot...a day to a bull can be 1,000 years...different concept of time....patience is a necessity....
