Confused by a Taurus man

I'm a 32 year old Leo woman and he's a 23 year old Taurus man. We had met years ago and recently reconnected 2 months ago. We started out as friends but it developed into something more. I am currently going through a divorce, so nothing beyond messages and texts. He would always run hot and cold and disappear frequently, but he has his own life and I have mine. He was pushing for dating and we had even talked about what we wanted in the future. He disappeared again for a week and I tried reaching out to him with no response. I ended up sending him a message letting him know that while I really like him, I refused to do all the work. He read the message but didn't respond. A few days later, I tried to message him and apologize for how I handled it, only to find out that he blocked me from messaging him. He's been having problems with his phone, so texting isn't an option. A few days later I saw that he was online while I was and clicked his profile to see if he was still a friend of mine. He was, but shortly after I noticed my profile was gone. I feel like he had my profile deactivated, so I deleted my account and the email account that we used to talk to each other.
My question is, why on earth would he react that way? To go from wanting to date me so hard and talking about our future to blocking me? I have zero experience with Taurus men so any input is greatly appreciated

The age difference bothered me, but never bothered him. I never felt like I came on too strong in anything other than not being happy that he couldn't be bothered to make an effort to talk to me more than once a week. I don't feel like that's unreasonable.
While I presently don't have any interest in rekindling a relationship with him, I would like to know why he went from one extreme to the next within a 2 week period. I guess I just don't understand how he could do that. Ideally I'd like to talk to him, but I don't see that happening. I feel like he's infuriated when I did nothing wrong other than tell him how I felt

Maybe so, but he was always the one wanting to know exactly when we could start officially dating and would bring up our future together. I know he's busy, and tight knit with his family and sick brother. But I do know that you're right; he very rarely made the effort to contact me on his own accord. Maybe that speaks volumes in itself. Contact probably isn't likely at this point.

Goodness.. I have been nothing but respectful toward you. However, I don't appreciate being indirectly called a cougar. It wasn't called for.
He initially reached out to me. I gave him space and didn't contact him when he'd disappear. The only thing I did was send one message reassuring him that I liked him, but wasn't willing to do all the work. Again, I don't think was unreasonable or pushy. If that was 'pushing it too far', then he's far too sensitive in my opinion

When I am interested I am sorta attached to you alot. I have a fixed mars, and mercury so whatever I say or do.. it will show, and that I actually think we're supposed to be friends first.. I am picky though so if I do pick you it's because I am open minded and just feeling the water out. So other placement in charts are different options on how people show they like you in their circle or life as a lover option.

Yeah when we're done we are done. We don't just give up and we always need that communication always for this reason. For when problems arise we actually like it when some people take initiatives of talking to us. We know alot, but not everything. Takes a good person to help a Taurus out with communication and honesty and solve problems. We willing to listen to what ever problems are and see what the best plan.

We are simple people don't like drama or complicated things. We will work it out until we can't no longer.

I wouldn't worry so much about it. I'm 36 and fancied a 23 year old (Scorp) but I thought he was older. I felt like a bloody cougar. I didn't pursue it. When I was 32 I like a 26 year old (Taurus) but I thought he was my age or older. Didn't work either! So don't take offence at cougar. I'm not in my 50's so I kinda feel cougar doesn't apply but the concept is the same regardless.

Let's hope I fair better with a potential new Taurus fella. Venus and Mars in Aries with a Sag Moon and maybe Cancer rising...

Busy, sag moon advice required... I know, I'm already fucked with that combination of his but is it a 'good' kinda fucked cos I'll take it!!

Thanks to all for your feedback; I truly do appreciate it. While it doesn't hurt anymore, I still don't understand why he reacted the way he did. I cannot understand the need to totally block when all I did was tell him what I was feeling. I wasn't rude. I didn't insult or attack him. I even reassured him that I did really like him, but I refused to do all of the work. I never said one hateful thing to him. We were talking about our future together a week beforehand, so I figured it would be important to go ahead and discuss that now. I've always felt that good communication is imperative in order to have a successful and long lasting relationship. No matter how angry I'll ever get, I'll always choose to talk things out.
In the end, it doesn't matter. The consensus is that he's done and I'm inclined to agree. Although I've shut down everything he's ever used to contact me, he has my number and he could find me on Facebook if he really wanted, and I haven't heard anything and I doubt I ever will. I'm okay with that.
I wanted to especially thank everyone that assured me that I am not a cougar. I never set out to attract a younger guy. It just happened

I dont think he was too young for you... just IMMATURE!
Maybe it was all about the chase... or it was a fantasy. Either ways its better you are rid of him now than later.
Personally i dislike it when we judge a woman because she is ready to date a much younger man. If a man were to do it, he is successful, rich or handsome. If a women were to do it, we call her a cougar. Not fair. We should play fair.
Right?! Way to kick a girl when she's already down. There's no sense in it.
I really do appreciate your kind words and you're right. If he's that sensitive and that's how he handled it, then he couldn't have handled me at all.

i am really good friends with this taurus man from work. then a few weeks ago he started dropping hints that he might want to be more. after a confusing hot n cold ride we finally had some long chats over the phone. then next day we were discussing some work related assignment. i went to my desk and texted him a simple joke. he was uncharateristically rude. its been over a week n no contact initiation from him since.

What did you tell him exactly?@OP-
The last message he sent me was 'I was waiting on an email. I didn't realize you sent a message on here.'
He has never responded to a single email I've sent him. I used it mostly to send him pictures of things that would catch my eye and made me think of him.
I said something along the lines of 'I had always assumed you didn't care for email as you've never bothered to respond to anything I've ever sent you. But I do know that you haven't bothered to make an effort to contact me and honestly I'm in the same exact place I was the last time you blew me off for a week; hurt, confused and pissed off. I am not a toy you can play with whenever you're bored, lonely, or horny. I am worth so much more than that. I really do like you, but I refuse to do all the work.'
I don't feel like this was worded harshly and I put a lot of thought into exactly what I wanted to say before I sent it

this sounds aggressive to me. you sound exasperated with him. you are within your rights to be annoyed. like you said, you were hurt but i don't know, maybe it is the libra in me, i wouldn't write something like this at this stage. i might be extra sensitive though.

I am the last person to give advice re taurus with a sag moon!!! Lol lol Mutable - his mind/emotions changes like the wind!! Hang on tight you are in for a ride!! Enjoy!! That Aries is really strong too jeez!!! Just spend time with his and pay close attention to the way he treats you. Sag moon will talk a hellava lot!! Mine never stopped talking.. Very open. Will tell you EVERYTHING that is going on with them and even stuff you don't want to know!!! Very sexual. Likes to eat in usual places ie foreign cuisine. But very changeable nature and always always on the move and travels alot. May have a pet or two or three in my taurus case. Let us know how you get on. Hard work is all I have to say!! Us tauruses are hard work.. Now I feel sorry for those who use to date me!!! Lol lol

You're the best for Sag moon advice! What you talking about!

So far he's been chatty and open (via whatsapp). He's an inquisitive little shit too but it's kinda cool. Fuck, I'm mutable Pisces moon so we will be buggered! The Aries is pretty strong in this one but I'm hoping his Sag moon gets on with my Sag rising and merc. Will see what he's like tomorrow but he's already trying to get in me knickers! Mind you, he bothered to ask me out rather than sitting there like a 'keyboard warrior' and expecting me to gift wrap meself on a plate!

Awesome! Sounds like what I need! I hate all that Scorp being deep shit sometimes. It's exhausting wallowing in it.

Does that really come across as aggressive? I'm a very direct person and he knows that. I was just being honest and direct because it was something that mattered to me. I was irritated for sure, and I'm sure anyone with common sense would have picked up on that. However, I still don't feel like being blocked over it was warranted. You think it hurt his feelings?

to me it sounds aggressive.

for example

"i always assumed"
"you've never bothered"
"you haven't bothered to make an effort"
"you blew me off"

then there are accusations, implying he considers you a toy, has no regard, is an all round bastard...

then there is stamping your worth..

ending with "i refuse"

now, i don't dispute you are probably right to feel the way you do. you need to set down boundaries so people know how to treat you. i don't begrudge you any of that. good for you for sticking up for yourself. not enough women do it in my mind.

it's just i would have gone in with a softer touch. you know that old saying an iron fist in a velvet glove? at this stage, before you really know each other, i would have trodden a little softer with my point.

and oh god, i would embrace the term cougar! (not that you are one...) cougars are sexy women who are independent and self reliant and like being shagged ruthlessly by a younger guy. i could only wish to be a cougar when the time comes!

hurt his feelings? i don't know. he may have had second thoughts on his ability to match you though. it doesn't mean he probably couldn't but you may have intimidated him beyond what you meant to.

As I said above, Leo women can't see how aggressive they are when they are in 'hunt mode'!!! You probably sounded 'pushy' to him and he doesn't want too deal! It seems as though Taurus men are pretty 'delicate', proud with egos to match! You need to back off and let him hunt... But too late he has already deleted and blocked you!! It's a hint that you should indeed move on?!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I feel like you have it out for me.
Also, I'd like to point out that he never deleted me. He blocked me, but I was still on his friends list. I am the one that deleted my account and the email account that he could have used to contact me.
I have zero interest in rekindling anything with him. I am over him and have indeed moved on. That being said, his actions are what bothered me and s

The thing is, it's all true. He couldn't be bothered to answer or acknowledge any past emails. He didn't bother to try and contact me another way and if he wanted to bad enough, he would have found a way. He did blow me off, more than once, and he knew how I felt about it. I feel like if he cared at all, he wouldn't have done it again. If he had cared at all and actually meant everything he said to me, he wouldn't have thrown it all away over that. I know I wouldn't have.. I'll fight for something if it matters to me.
I realize now that I should have addressed it differently. After I was blocked I did end up sending him a email letting him know that I realized I should have handled it differently and apologized for handling it the way I did. At least I did that

@CL. Ahhhhh see!!

Blame my Leo moon and Leo rising!!

How I sound to you!! Is probably how you sounded to the bull!! get it!!!
No, I really don't see. You were very quick to point out why I was wrong for him when you could have easily given me some advice on the Taurus man since that is what I was looking for. Instead for whatever reason, you had the nerve to call me a cougar when it wasn't called for.

i believe you. it doesn't read like it is without merit.

the thing is he "couldn't be bothered" goes to motivation. unless he said that, it's an assumption. again, you're probably right but your approach may be something you want to consider.

i'm not saying i am perfect. far from it. it's because i have the same issues and super sensitive in the words i choose that it struck with me. i still have issue not to jump to conclusions. i'm trying to be a better listener and a better communicator.

there's another assumption, just because you approach the budding relationship in one way, then he must be the same. "he wouldn't have thrown it away. i wouldn't have. i'd fight". just because you see the world one way, doesn't mean he has the same goggles.

i know you are no longer interested in this guy. i imagine being a fully grown woman and a leo you would have had this young taurus for breakfast but maybe this might pop into your mind the next time and you take something from it.

i always learn a lot from people here maybe there is a snippet that resonates with you.

Look at what you have written!!!!

If I felt all the things about a guy that you felt and wrote here, do you think.that I would lower my standards to email him and call him out on his bs?!! No!!! I would take the hint, walk away with my pride in tact instead of emailing him and looking "desperate " for him to turn around and block me!! Smh!!!

AND to.make it even worse, you STILL email him AFTER he has blocked you!!! Desperation BIG TIME!!! I thought leos had pride?!!!!
Kindly make your way off my post. You clearly don't have anything helpful to say

I feel like if he cared at all, he wouldn't have done it again. If he had cared at all and actually meant everything he said to me, he wouldn't have thrown it all away over that. I know I wouldn't have.. I'll fight for something if it matters to me.
I realize now that I should have addressed it differently. After I was blocked I did end up sending him a email letting him know that I realized I should have handled it differently and apologized for handling it the way I did. At least I did that
i believe you. it doesn't read like it is without merit.

the thing is he "couldn't be bothered" goes to motivation. unless he said that, it's an assumption. again, you're probably right but your approach may be something you want to consider.

i'm not saying i am perfect. far from it. it's because i have the same issues and super sensitive in the words i choose that it struck with me. i still have issue not to jump to conclusions. i'm trying to be a better listener and a better communicator.

there's another assumption, just because you approach the budding relationship in one way, then he must be the same. "he wouldn't have thrown it away. i wouldn't have. i'd fight". just because you see the world one way, doesn't mean he has the same goggles.

i know you are no longer interested in this guy. i imagine being a fully grown woman and a leo you would have had this young taurus for breakfast but maybe this might pop into your mind the next time and you take something from it.

i always learn a lot from people here maybe there is a snippet that resonates with you.

I appreciate everything you've said. You have been truly helpful and more importantly, kind. It is appreciated more than you know

Ladies, ladies, ladies... I'm so glad that for once I am not the root of the bitch fight Ž

He's 23. That really is all there is to it. I wish I could dress it up with the razamataz show Busy has or the calmer demeanour of Jeane but I can't.

Now, I might go and have a little perv over the 23 year old physiotherapist I should have eaten for MY breakfast a few months back... But I didn't... I'm not a kiddie fiddler!!

Well... What on earth are you going to do with a 23 year old other than ride its dick like it's Sea-biscuit the fucking horse! Then you'd discard it until you fancied another fuck... On your terms of course!

Sure, you could sit and have a beer with him, chew the fat, and it might actually be kinda cool...
But then what? You start liking him... and get taken for a fool!

Always deal in reality, as much as you possibly can. It's tough sometimes, we fuck up and often go off the rails.
But as long as you pull your self together and get a kick up the arse quick, as no one wants to hear your wails!

What did you tell him exactly?@OP-
The last message he sent me was 'I was waiting on an email. I didn't realize you sent a message on here.'
He has never responded to a single email I've sent him. I used it mostly to send him pictures of things that would catch my eye and made me think of him.
I said something along the lines of 'I had always assumed you didn't care for email as you've never bothered to respond to anything I've ever sent you. But I do know that you haven't bothered to make an effort to contact me and honestly I'm in the same exact place I was the last time you blew me off for a week; hurt, confused and pissed off. I am not a toy you can play with whenever you're bored, lonely, or horny. I am worth so much more than that. I really do like you, but I refuse to do all the work.'
I don't feel like this was worded harshly and I put a lot of thought into exactly what I wanted to say before I sent it

OP, I think your message was too much drama in this early stage of your "relationship"....... I think he got scared about the "future talks" even if he initiated it himself. He retreated to think about it, and when he came back he got this message.... way too emotional.... If you really tought he is not treating you well, you should have mirrored his actions and retreat yourself..... And you were not consistent, by apologizing later....... If its really what you felt, why apologize?....

Too much drama, I think your taurus could not handle it....... Angry message, then apologizing, then deleting your account...... drama
Next time if you want to stand up for yourself, do it quietly and just ignore the man, dont explain, dont apologize, just ignore

I

I feel like I need to clarify- I did email him later to apologize for how I handled it, but not for anything I said. I also deleted my account afterwards because while it was a social media, it wasn't something like Facebook; it was a community I joined and while I enjoyed it, I also got a lot of crazy stuff in my inbox. He was one of the people I talked to there so I didn't see the need in keeping it, nor the email account I had for it and that we used for sending each other stuff. I actually felt like was a big step in avoiding any drama.
Thanks for your input. I'm sure it'll be helpful in the future

Taureans are very cold in their goodbyes. A witchy lady of my acquaintance once told me. She was married and dating a Taurus man younger than herself like you. I've been accused of being cold in my goodbyes too. I think it's a Taurus trait, or it should be considered one. Taureans do a lot of thinking before making decisions, so once the decision is made they feel sure of themselves and there's no looking back for them.
