He doesn't seem to want to admit his feelings for me

Understanding a Taurus man's feelings when he is hesitant

A Taurus man may take time to open up emotionally, especially if he has past trauma. His reluctance to admit feelings often reflects his need for stability and reassurance. Patience and consistent support can help build trust. Recognizing his boundaries and giving him space may encourage him to share more when he is ready.

I've been reading these boards for some months now trying to gain clarity on my situation.

I was introduced to a fellow Taurus back in April last year. We became really close, we would talk every day, spend time alone together - he would light candles and play romantic music including playing the piano and singing. We talked every day, spent time with each others family, he would tell me things like "you're amazing" regularly, he even sent me a bouquet of two dozen red roses to my workplace.

In hindsight i should have been more patient, but i asked him where i stood with him. I was confused, he never tried once to kiss me and i felt as though i needed to know where it was going. I was frustrated with the slow pace of things. He came to see me on my lunch break, we both shared tears - he told me that he is not ready for a commitment and that he needs to sort out his life and feelings out. He implies that he experienced something horrific as a child, he tells me that he tell me when he is ready and i think that this has a lot to do with it.

It has been one month since the conversation and it is horrible. We barely talk between seeing each other. I was away for the most part of the month, he reached out to me a few times and said that he missed me but since having seen each other in person around our friends, it's like we are strangers. I am uncomfortable around him and my wall has come up. I wish I could go back to this time last month and handle it differently.

Can anyone offer any perspective on this? Is there still hope for us? If so how do i get things back on track?

Hmmm, he sounded into u then says he’s not ready for a commitment? U didn’t do anything wrong by asking where u stand, that’s a question that has to be asked.. I don’t know what happened in his childhood but it sounds like he may have met someone else or reconnected with an ex. Hopefully u find out what’s up ☺️

Look for a MAN without ‘horrifics’ In his past so he grown up ass man can’t put behind him and date a woman he likes!

Forget his spineless ass! Men don’t cry! Well...not supposed to. Yuck! 👎

Just keep talking to him like nothing has happened.

He has tried to do that with you but your wall was up and you probably came off as cold and awkward.

You have to show him a consistency that he can learn to trust.

It sounds like he uses it as an excuse rather than it being genuine but I could be wrong.

Sometimes people get bored with their lives and they ham up their "movie backstory" past to make themselves seem more interesting.

Scat, you emotionless cerebral libra!

He sounds scared to me, feeling insecure to move past his traumatic experiences. If he's reaching out and trying, YOU are the one making it horrible and awkward with your guard up. Put it down and reassure him or leave him be.

@Ubuntu,

I think he is 'running' a game on you.

Don't be surprised if a 'lady friend' surfaces.

Taurus men are Venusian.

They can be quite charming, too.

Be careful.

There is a difference between being cautious vs not being interested.

He could have simply told you that he wanted to take things slow.

But a sob story about some childhood...what is he Christian Grey?

He is not being cautious, he is using you as the alternative 'Plan B."

Keep in mind, this is pure speculation, I could be wrong.

Try this...

Stop responding to his texts or phone calls for at least two weeks.

When you do decide to answer, tell him that you're dating other people.

If he tries to 'woo' you with empty promises, he's playing games.

If he decides to make it official, then go for it.
