Is there a chance here? He’s aloof.

Understanding an Aloof Taurus Man in Relationships

Aloof Taurus men may withdraw when overwhelmed or uncertain. They value stability and need time to process emotions. Showing patience and consistent honesty can help build trust. Avoid rushing him and give him space to open up naturally. Understanding his need for security and patience increases your chances of developing a meaningful connection.

I met a Taurus man a month ago online. We hit it off immediately and within the first week we had gone on 5 dates!

I let him know how much I liked him, he expressed the same. Then one day, he didn’t contact me. I addressed this, and he said he wasn’t playing games, but our contact quickly decreased. He is recently separated, and has a lot on his plate, but I could tell he was pulling back.

He continued to text me daily, but it was vague and felt unconnected. He also did not make plans to see each other.

I let him know I felt like he was only throwing me breadcrumbs, and that things weren’t progressing. He told me he would sleep on it before he replied. The next day, he text me (I had something important happening and he wished me luck), but now... radio silence.

I’m open with my heart and my feelings, but haven’t been able to express this since he pulled away.

What are my best chances here for finding a happy connection with this man?

Chances for finding a happy connection with this man are slim to none.

Five dates in a week is a hell of a lot of time to spend with someone so quickly. I also think five dates is enough for BOTH parties to see if they each feel a connection and to see if you are a match with what each other is looking for.

You felt there was.

He felt there was not.

It happens. There's other men out there who you will havd a connection with and who will match with what yours looking for. No need to put all your eggs in just the one basket.

My guess is he's not looking to get involved in any relationship. He's recently separated. This means he's still a married man. He's looking for some extra curricular pussy to dip his dick into.

Did you sleep with him?

Im sorry, this is a typical taurus man when he loses interest. They are just too nice to completely cut it off, and also if* you DID sleep with him, he wants to keep you on the burner for if there arent any other options available. If you didnt sleep with him, well hes just being cordial...

Maybe too much too quick for him, perhaps not enough chase?

So since he has been doing all the footwork and planning the dates why don't you plan something for the 2 of you.

He's busy with stuff in his own life. He may appreciate being able to show up to the good time instead of planning it for once.

Sigh, I did sleep with him. I do understand that he’s probably too tied up in life, or you may be right... I was a quick fling or distraction.

I’ve asked him out last weekend after two weeks of no dates. He made an excuse 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just wonder if I let this be if he will come around at some point?

It’s the holidays, so I’m not jumping into dating someone new for a while. I’m not waiting around for him either.

Frustrating... do Taurus men come back genuinely? Like with good intentions after something like this?

I think you should let it be.

I don't think he will come around at some point.

I don't know if Taurus men come back. I asked my Taurus man's opinion and he said 'not a chance'.

Why would you want him back? Someone who is unable to communicate and who makes excuses, who is only luke warm to cold about you.

Yup. I did think so.

However, whether you did or did not sleep with him may not have changed the outcome of this. He still may have not contacted you again although,in my opinion, had you not slept with him then you may be feeling far less attached than you do now.

5 dates in one week was way too much. You gotta pace it. Let him go. Let him be. He may come back after some time. If he does, just go easy, breezy. In the meantime, take the pressure off him, enjoy your life and let things unfold. Don't believe too much of what a guy says or does initially.

He's leading. Nothing you can do but, be your best attractive self. Seduce him. Cook for him. A man who has alot on his plate can be seduced with massages, food, bathing, wine, picnic, etc.

Think...

... About what he might like or need.

Facts: He recently separated from his wife =Not 100% emotionally available.

The five day courtship was simply an act of someone who is trying to escape the stress of his current problems. Separation and divorce can be stressful, emotionally and financially draining.

From an astrological perspective ( and this is just speculation) Any drastic change in a Bull's finances, domestic structure, or consistent patterns of behavior can drive even the most stable Bull into a chaotic mental breakdown. Bulls are not as receptive to changes as other signs. If he tells you it's not a good time right now, trust in what he tells you.

His sudden disappearing act may have nothing to do with you. If there were patterns of inconsistencies in regards to his 'disappearing act' in the past, then this would be a reason for concern. But this happened abruptly, and he communicated this to you verbatim.

You're a Water sign, so you're seeing this through 'emotional' lenses, and you're assuming that his actions have something to do with the way he feels about you. It doesn't. Timing is off here. He is going to have to figure out how to navigate through those changes. He will need space from you to do so.

There is nothing that can be done here.

It's not over.

Just on hold.
