He said it.

Maybe it was the full moon, but the last couple of days, my taurus has been really open with how he feels about me. Albiet, he's also been intoxicated for the last couple of days lol.

Anyway, last night, we were laying together after going out, he had been drinking, but not so heavily that he was completely incoherent. He was holding me, going off on his little spiel about how I was great, that I put up with him, and that I deserved so much better, yada yada. I simply told him that I was completely happy with him, that he made me a better person, ect. And we didn't speak for a moment before he said to me "I love you." For a moment, I was completely frozen, but don't worry, I didn't do/say anything stupid lol. I told him that I loved him too, and that I absolutely meant it. He said something else, but I quickly asked him if he really did love me (because he was drunk, and I wanted to make sure) and he just said "Yeah, you make me so happy. And I care about you so much."

Going back in time, right when we got home from the bar, we were joking around, and he was teasing me a bit. He was saying things like "You couldn't take me out in a fight even if you tried, but don't worry, I love you and all." And right as we got to the door, he kind of said it again as we went back and forth in the conversation. I thought about this and realized he had told me he loved me more than once, and I was just so taken aback. I had been attempting to tell him myself, but to have him say it just made me so giddy.

This morning because I dropped him off at work (and where he left his car the other night), I asked him random things from out conversation last night to see if he remembered them since he had been drunk. When he confirmed that he remembered certain parts of the conversation, I finally convinced myself that what he said was most likely real.

Oh Candeh, I'ma CRY! Whoooohooo!!

Aww : (

"They" do say a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

This is so sweet. I am so glad for you and happy that he did SAY IT!

D'awww thanks guys... *blushes*

Honestly, I wasn't pushing for him to say it. He's usually really good about showing his affections over using words; so when he actually said, it I wasn't as shocked at first. But then the magnitude of it hit me.

And yeah, as they say, a drunk man's words are generally his sober thoughts. At least, my taurus is 10x more honest when he's drunk (and he's already super honest lol).

Your guy has an Aquarius moon, right? That's a huge thing for us to say to someone we really care about because we try to detach ourselves from our emotions so much.

Oh yeah. And he's not too great with verbalizing his emotions, but I knew they were there. While not the most positive outlook on the situation, I think him being drunk just made it a little easier for it to come out, whether he was planning on saying it or not.

The thing is, I don't need/expect him to say it over and over now. I'm sure it took a lot for him to say it once, and I think it's all I really needed. Because I know it came from an honest place.

there's hope in the world!

well at least in the taurus forum...

Oh wow, this must've felt like a dream 🙂

Very happy for you! You more than deserve this, with all the work and effort and understanding you've put in it.

If you don't mind me asking, for how long have you guys been dating until this "breakthrough"?

Lol it's alright, I don't mind. If I had to put an exact number to it, we've been seeing each other for nearly a year now, and we've been dating exclusively for about six months.

And honestly, the reason why I'm so into dishing out the advice is because the amount of time to took to fully understand him changed me/is changing me into a better version of myself. I can see the way I was nearly two years ago when I first joined here: Jumping from different guys, not reading into the signs, getting my hurt broken left and right. And so, it's just really nice to be in something that is working out, no matter what the future outcomes are. But the best part is seeing how I've matured through it all, and if I could tell myself then what I know now, I can only imagine how different things would be. But then again, if that happened, I wouldn't be with my taurus now.

Wow.. way to go taurus 😄 happy for ya candeh.

Aaaaw tiny little hearts everywhere.. Good for you! and good for having a Taurus. This is so freggin cutsie tootsie.

I actually wrote my Taurus a long letter a few days ago after he told me he loved me. I wrote my feelings for him and I wrote about a few of my past relationships. Now, I know that's not something you'd normally write about, but my Taurus has been exceptionally honest with me about his past relationships and how each one affected him and eventually led to him finding me.

So, I wrote him a letter detailing the last few relationships that I had (which have also been mentioned on DXP). Our past relationship woes have been eerily similar, but in the end, I told him that I loved him genuinely and without a hint of insecurity and selfishness. I mentioned that because of that, I felt like I was maturing and becoming a better person.

Later on, while we were sitting in my car, he told me he had taken a 5 minute break at word to read the letter. He jokingly said that he'd beat up the capricorn that sort of began all of my relationship crap, but then he told me that he really did love me, and that he was worried about how it come off when he was drunk. Ever since then, he has told me off and on and at random moments that he loved me and I was the best thing in his life. He'll often say "You know why I'm happy? Because you're here with me." He doesn't often believe it when I tell him that I love him, but he's just happy to hear it. 🙂

Its a good sign. Taurus saying some thing like I ... shows he means it. Now he has dropped the I bomb you might need to stop expecting too much expressions but surely watch the acts.
Often text messages/calls, he would want to see you frequently,spend more time with you,gifts,surprises. Take all these things positively. Taurus guys are not jealous unless you give them reason to be.And its sad to hear that you already mention specifically about your relationships.Men and expecially taurus might accept a girl with a past but dey don't want any precise details and yes dey don't want to be reminded about it all the time.Girls I would say its honesty to say "Yes I had past just like others.1-2 relationships".But its insensitive and less respectful to talk precisely about every single relationship from past.What you want to tell.Don't u mean to be honest to say you infact had a past?Or you are giving us the number of guys you were with.And consistently reminding us about it.
If he is willing to be with you den he will show all the pleasent acts to make sure you are fine,comfortable,secured and happy. If yo uhappy with all this den be his lady.Forget about anything else.He is a gentleman who wants his girl to behave/act/talk as sensibly as a lady.Don't screw it.If he is a player den he won't mind you talking about exes and infact he will disucc each of them.But if he is sincerely in love den be sure he WONT tolerate it.

Good luck

Oh I don't expect him to say it again. In fact, I didn't expect him to say it again after the first time. I have gone by his actions since we first began about a year ago. The only reason why I spoke about my relationships was because he told me about his and I knew he wanted to know about mine at some point (he's asked a couple of times before, saying how I've never spoken about them). He's been very honest with me about the hookups and relationships in his past, but they were for a reason. When he gets into his moody moments, the relationships are the core of his pain and his maturation. I have never spoken much about my past to him, and for me to explain why I couldn't even be with him for three months as he chased me, why I sometimes have insecurities, and why I have matured, I had to explain mine. I only told him once and I don't need to mention them again. He knew the reason why I told him, and I know the reason he told me about his. I mean, he's told me in detail about this. I only really linked mine to why I was depressed when he met me and why I avoided him.

And honestly, now that i've told him, I feel like a huge weight is lifted; not because I told him but because I had that baggage that I could never reveal to anyone, about how it affected me, and how I've learned so much since then. I don't believe in going on about it, but after telling him, it's like I shed an old skin. When he asked me anything else, I just said it's in the past and that I am happiest with him.

I have no reason to make him jealous. He wouldn't be even if I tried lol. Don't worry taurusguy. While I may be learning new things about him everyday, I think I've done pretty well so far. 🙂

Good luck.
Win him but don't catch him 🙂
He talking about his ex9s) is a big step forward.He is all yours.But..But..Don't say u know him enuf. U know his plans,past,family.But there is much more to come.U just wait and see 🙂

Haha oh I'm sure. I don't know nearly as much about him as I could after a year. And he doesn't know much about me either. Both fairly private people, but the more we open up to each other, the more interesting it is. I'm just really thankful he is honest with me, because a lot of people in my past haven't been.

He tells me all the time that I'm awesome and that I am one of the best things to have happened to him in a long time. And sometimes I can't even look at him when he does because I'm really bashful, but he just tells me it's the truth and that he can't even imagine being with me because I'm so perfect in his eyes. Honestly, I feel like I'm the lucky one, but perhaps we were just two people coming from the same bad egg and found something beautiful in each other. I honestly cannot even express how much he means to me, but I'm happy to get to share my time with him.

🙂 Awww, supah, cute. Glad for you Candeh! As grouchy as I can be about love (and yes, I am secretly a romantic at heart 😉), it is a many splendid thing! Just keep on keeping on...
