Can you help me understand why you do this?

I love most things about taureans except when you try to msg/call them to talk about something specific (not just a hey msg) and they do not respond at all but then if I msg/call my Taurus a day or couple days or even a week later, he acts like nothing has happened.

Not even a sorry I forget to msg you back. When it's not important I ignore him but if it's something that is upsetting me that I would like to talk to him about, my emotions take over and I feel shunned.

Do you mean to do it or you just genuinely forget?

I'm a taurus and I respond to all my messages regardless of who it comes from. Maybe that specific taurus is just horrible at texting or an asshat.

I do ignore messages all the time. But mostly pms on facebook. I guess I feel that things are never that urgent. I didn't realize this behavior could really irritate someone else. Must work on this in the future.

I think if it's business, Taurus will answer you right way, but with everything else we may let it slide. It's not fair to others, obviously.

That's extremely bad!! Everyone's time is valuable. So if someone makes an effort to contact you make an effort to respond. Put yourself in the other person's shoes and see how you would feel!

I would say it seems like when he has time he will reply immediately but if he has been doing things he doesn't at all. I could deal with a day late or something like that. I have asked about it a couple times but he just says he was busy and forgot and how I should be patient (I feel a week is pretty patient for a reply), which is ok sometimes but the other way around I get told I am ignoring him and I don't wait more than a day if I'm busy to reply.

The one I met was attracted instantly and answered all of my texts. Maybe the one you are dealing with just sucks at texting in the least case situation.

I agree. Everyone's time is valuable and that includes mine. On facebook I get a lot of invitations to events I have no time for or interest in or invitations to chat which I also don't have time for. As for phone messages, I get lots of unknown messages. If I don't recognize the sender's number, I don't answer. Then I google the number only to find out it's from some out of state telemarketer.

Of course I respond to messages from family and friends right away.

It could be a family emergency and somebody needing me.

Do you tend to respond within a specific time frame, or is it generally arbitrary?

My Sag friend is dating an Aries sun with heavy Taurus placements and is constantly complaining about how long it often takes him to reply (usually more than 4-5 hrs). He doesn't seem to think it's a big deal, though.

I mean, I generally respond as soon (anywhere between a couple of minutes to an hour) as I can unless I really don't wanna talk to that specific person. Some people just don't like being on their phones though and are horrible at texting regardless of sign.

If it's a problem.

Tell him.

Do it NOW.

This is a monotonous, fixed sign. If it aint broke, then don't try to fix it.

Never take a passive aggressive approach.

He will continue this pattern of behavior.

It's not insensitivity, it's practicality. If it' not worth addressing, it's not worth discussing. But if you let him know how much it bothers you, he will listen.
