Does the Taurus male trully like me?

So, I met my Taurus 2 months ago at a bar through my friend, who is his co-worker. He pursued me first, showed interest and contacted me the next day already. We started off texting, met next week in a big group again and the next day by ourseleves. We remained keeping in touch, so everything runs kinda smooth, and slow which I prefer because I am a Pieces and a bit traumatized by my last relationship. BUT, I dont know if my Taurus truly likes me and if he is interested in something more. I am not ready to ask him such questions yet because I am careful and got burned before and in my slow pace I feel like its still too early because even though we are meeting and keeping in touch on a regular basis, we are not that open with each other yet, and it confuses me.
He cannot ask me directly for a date, but rather asks me to go 'sock-shopping' with him, which I thought was adorable because we spent the entire day together. I sometimes ask him to say hi to me a few blocks further his work and he does not hesitate but comes meeting me immediately. I feel like being taking care of, he is very sweet and looks after me, which I love.

Now the BUT, he was affectionate the first 2 weeks maybe with holding my hand in the streets, hugging me in public and kissing me, but that stopped afterwards which I think is so weird because he kept pursuing me and asking me out. He is also pretty closed off, so we barely talk about really personal stuff, even though I have to force myself to do the first step with that because I am closed off myself. I also asked him about his Ex once and he just laughed and said that I shouldnt be so nosy - I was confused.
So I know that it doesnt sound bad, but the non-touching suddenly and the not wanting to get personal or emotionally closer to me confused me big time. Even more weird is that he hasnt given me ANY compliments so far ?!?! I am starting to feel like a simple friend and nothing more even though I made it kinda clear that I want to get to know him better. I start to feel stupid keeping pursuing him, almost like running after him and I dont wanna be played. He told me first that he liked me, and I waited 4 weeks to have sex with him and told him afterwards that I am not sleeping with several people at the same time and expect him to do the same thing and he totally agreed. We also dont have contact every single day, maybe 2 days with a break in between. So is this real, is he still checking me out or am I a nice snack in betwee

As far as Taurus men go, and Taurus's in general- they don't like to share personal things about their life and past too soon. So please don't be surprised that he hasn't been completely open and chatty about his life/ history, it's simply a matter of when he feels comfortable opening up- he will absolutely need time to closely get to know you before he tells you very much more than his present circumstances. That's strange that he stopped being publicly affectionate towards you- but as you said, you haven't truly let him know your feelings yet and your confusion about where your situation lies. Taurus men -appreciate- honesty and a straight forward approach, you need to be able to ask him before you'll ever get an answer. Unless you can muster the courage to infer whether he is interested in something more.

Having sex can sometimes create a vulnerable situation with women, we wonder if it was too soon or if we're being played. So I'm going to say in this case- you deserve to know whether or not he's still romantically drawn to you. You need to take the risk and be straight up, no games- Taurus doesn't like games. It's better to have tried then to never know

I see nothing jumping out at me. I still think you're in the green. Red flags are flat out ignoring you, making excuses to avoid seeing you, being distant with you (other than physical contact as in makes little effort to talk). A real Taurus man doesn't "snack" unless he's been recently out of a relationship and trying to recover (in a bad way). 2 days and a break seems like a good balance to me. Taurus tend to be short worded after a while and just slowly run out of things to say, so that's just our nature. Again, I still think you're good, but I'm just an outsider looking in! 🙂

A real Taurus man doesn't "snack"

Thx for your responses guys, I am a bit calmed down. So, if a Taurus doesnt "snack" what is he doing then? Is he still checking out if he feels he wants more from me? And what about the non-touching anymore, which confuses me most? Hm, I sort of believe that this is even my fault somehow because I am closed off myself and my friend directly guessed if I could have given him a weird vibe when he was holding my hand, so he backed off. Is the Taurus so insecure that this could have really happend? He was really drunk once and I have never seen him that open, but also that vunerable and insecure, but I loved it because he seemed really genuine and thats the time he told me that he likes me. So I figured that he is playing the 'cool game' all along ?! So I guess I always have to make him drunk to open up and to show me affection...this is sad :-/

^^^Great insight to the Personality trait of a Taurus....

I couldn't have stated it better myself.

You must be currently dating a Bull 😛

@Cheetos28

1. When he was being affectionate with you, did you reciprocate the same level of affection at any pint in time during the last two months?

2. Were there any inconsistencies with your statements/actions/behavior in the last two months?

3. How often did you initiate contact with him (before his behavioral pattern changed)?

4. Did you ever ask him was everything OK with him? His life?

5. What's your zodiac sign?

Ok, so yes, I really believe that I have given him a weird vibe when he was holding my hand to be honest. I really enjoyed the affection, but I tend to withdraw a bit when I am not very close with a person yet, I need time to trust. So I kinda see this pattern. But he is not even anymore in private like that to me. When I am going over to his place, we just sit there and talk, without him making any affort, just to hold me in any way. I am not initiating a lot of body contact, I am a Pieces, so usually I get pursued. I did ask him, because I was convinced it was bad, how his last relationship was, if he had a stressful last relationship, because its hard for him to open up, and he was like, no why. And when I went on asking, he just laughed and said, stop being so nosy.
I am just getting really frustrated and I am already withdrawing because I am just not getting the 'He is into me' vibe. I started to feel stupid every single time I am conacting him, because I am the one who is definitely contacting him more. We saw each other on Monday the last time (after I initiated the last 2 meetings), and havent heard anything from him until I wrote him a text 4 days later, so yesterday asking if he is still alive, and he told me that he has been sick a bit, and I was already annoyed by his behavior that I didnt really went on with texting. He is online a lot, and I get upset if he is not contacting me at all and mostly yesterday that I know he went to a Party and usually he asks me a few to meet him when he is out, but there was nothing yesterday, not even the curiosity of what I was doing on the weekend, just nothing. I guess I am done, he makes no sense to me, and I am not even eager to ask him if he is interested in me at all in ANY way because he keeps shutting down. WTF is up with that?? its really sad.

Cheetos28...
Please don't take this the wrong way.
But you may want to bring the Pampered Princess routine down a bit.
You want him to pursue, pursue, pursue, without you reciprocating anything.
You only became diligent in contacting him because his movements slowed down.
I guess he's just falling back from you for awhile.

I enjoy being pursued as well (I'm a Bull)...but here is the difference between you and I...I don't take someone's affections or kindness for granted. I don't have a self-entitlement attitude, I reciprocate how I'm treated in tenfolds.

You want to win him back?
Stop making this about YOU, and YOU and YOU!

@Cheetos28

Taurus individuals are VERY physical signs.

Please keep this in mind....

Another thing...

We tend to withdraw when we feel that our affections or our attempts to contact you is not being reciprocated.

True Story!

So... after my last post, I pretty much gave up on the Taurus because I was convinced that he was in fact not really interested in me and that I was just a nice lil thing for him in between. I am not a big talker, so I didnt say anything and was just ignoring his texts and phone calls for a few weeks, and he did not give up pursuing me for the first time and got clearly confused. Then I started to feel bad because it was not fair just to disappear like that and wrote back that we should just let it go because I feel like he is not really interested in me because he is not really pursuing me and showing me a lot. He said that he knows that he can be distant but that he was and is interested in me for sure and that he likes me and hopes that we at least can be friends and wanted to meet me to talk about it. So he came all the way to my place and said that he was really confused, and that he thought that we actually were dating these 2 months... what I frankly did not realize because it was so casual. So he asked me to at least be his friend because he thinks that I am amazing, but that he cannot give me what I want right now, which is a serious relationship because he is not ready for that yet, also because he got out of a long term relationship a year ago. I got confused because I did not ask him for a serious relationship yet, because we just met and I still dont know if I want to pursue anything further with him. So I told him that and we were both a bit confused that we actually had the same intentions and feelings about it without ever talking about it. So he said that he would like to date me, also exclusively, but that again, he doesnt want a girlfriend right now and that we have to see what happens. I was fine with that and agreed to go on dating, but now my question... I am not that naive, I know that when a guy is saying, I dont want a relationship right now, it usually means, that he doesnt want a relationship with 'you'. So how can I understand that? I mean, he was honest and told me that he is interested but in nothing serious 'now' what I understand because it is still way to early for that, but I worry that I might be fooled if he is never going to be ready for anything serious and just wants to keep me around. I do like him a lot. I saw that he really does like me because he said that he did miss me and couldnt stop hugging me.

So please Taurus people, what is this? Is this a good sign, or not really?

"he thinks that I am amazing, but that he cannot give me what I want right now, which is a serious relationship "

I have heard this very statement from several women dating Taurus men, through this forum. And I have a person in my life that I want to say this *exact* thing to. I think he means just what he says, but I think he's emotionally stunted (based on your first post). If you need a friend right now, keep him as a friend, but don't hold out hope for a relationship. If he says he's not ready, he obviously isn't. Take time to heal from your past relationship and maybe this guy can even be a good friend to help you along. If something else develops, then great. But I wouldn't sleep with him if he's still saying things like this. If you get wrapped up in the sex with him, and he's not there emotionally for you, its just going to be more hurt. Sounds like he already potentially hurt/confused you by withdrawing affection, so I'd be real clear about what category he is in - to yourself, and to him.
