Is this normal Taurus behaviour?

Dear Forum,
I have been in relationship with Taurus man since last year. First few months, fantastic but realised not over ex. So I backed off, gave him space. Still continued in contact phone/text etc, never split. He moved house, again more unsettlement (realising Taurus don't like change). He said he would feel better after the move. Granted it has only been a month. Again I have been patient (as he asked/we agreed)

Just would like opinion, is this typically usual Taurus behaviour, the time to adjust? It has been a few months now. I remember reading on another blog that it can take up to a year to adjust to a new life in new area in new house etc before making full committment.

I mentioned doing something for his birthday this weekend and he is not sure....he has mentioned before he never normally celebrates his birthday, so to him not a big deal, but it is to me! I would like to spoil him.

I am a Gem and have spent many months studying Taurus behaviours, he seems typical so far. Very sensitive, but tells me how he is feeling.

I am incredibly loyal, I love this man, have told him so and I will wait, difficult as I have no patience! (typical Gem!) But he is worth it. Question is, is this length of time/pushing away typical behaviour?

thanks

Hello neogem601,

I wonder how did you begin with this guy a so called ''relationship'' when you said he is not over yet

his ex.. definitely you are a rebound candidate.

But that is your choice... for me, I prefer not to build a relationship with him... until he fully

forget the ex...

Agree with M143...

Be rational. Do you really want to sit around waiting for a man to adjust to his new life without the ex? You may think you do but realistically waiting on him to get over an ex and adjust to his new life will not be a factor in him committing, he'll commit to when and if he chooses to commit.

Could it be he's not into you and you're avoiding the reality of that?

I think a good rule of thumb when waiting on a Taurus for any reason is 2 two 3 weeks. That's enough time to get over initial emotions they have trouble processing, and return back to a placid state. Approach them genitally, make suggestions and lure them out and keep things light.

If it takes longer than 3 weeks, there is a 50/50 chance it wont ever happen.

A Leo woman approached me "genitally" once...lol, lion paw right on the crotch. I ran...Something you think you'd like as a guy in theory, but in practice it was terrifying...hahahah.

Hi thanks, we knew each other before and there was a clear attraction but we were both in relationships at the time...we have known each other for a few years as friends and did not get together until a few months after their split.

Thanks for your thoughts. I know they (Taureans) can be slow to process emotions but when decided come on full to make a commitment will let you know. He seems to be dragging his heels with me. I have noticed this is the second Taurus that has come on strong with me in this when then backed off.

I do find it odd that they can be 'so into you' and then not?

Its really hurtful for those at the receiving end

I am a Taurus and I was with a Taurus man on and off for 6 years! He cheated on all his newer girlfriends with me, and now that I am in a real serious relationship he is back into his old habits still trying to get with me! I've noticed a lot of Taurus men are not loyal unless they are ready to commit and absolutely crazy for you. If he already moved out and is taking slow steps to end things with you I would let it go. Because when a Taurus man is in love he is not going anywhere! They are very open about their feelings, but they can also be manipulative and secretive. I would run far away from this guy.

absolutely crazy for you

Well what is the definition of "absolutely crazy for you" in the taurus dictionary? Care to elaborate? 🙂

hi xxbrittxxtay - you wrote 'If he already moved out and is taking slow steps to end things with you I would let it go. Because when a Taurus man is in love he is not going anywhere!

Sorry didn't make it very clear. We have never lived together, he has just bought a new house as he was new in the area and renting before. I already had my own house with my children a few miles from him.

It's interesting as in a lot of the posts I have read it is about being patient with these 'slow plodding types' and that they 'need to feel secure/stable before making a commitment.' And that eventually after what seems like months of dragging their heels to make sure they want a relationship (as love is a serious business for these guys) they will give you their world. I also know being an air sign who is used to communication and 100 mood swings a day this difference in nature might present a challenge.

That doesn't seem to be the case with the posts I am getting here at all which is a little confusing!
