It's the little things.

Sometimes, I forget the little things.

It could be my venus in leo, if you want to look at it from an astrological view; I can be subtle with my love, undemonstrative, silent, but I'm dramatic as well. I like gifts, mostly giving them. It shows my gratitude and my affection. I like surprises even more. I love the look on my partner's face when I present a special gift out of nowhere, leaving little breadcrumbs until the gift is revealed.

Sometimes I expect the same thing. I can be overly-romantic, at least in thought. I imagine a rose at my doorstep, a love note when I wake up, a dinner waiting for me when I walk inside. Sometimes I like being surprised, too.

My taurus is none of these. Sometimes, he promises something and doesn't pull through. Sometimes, I'd love to be surprised with candy or a card that tells me how he feels. When I am at my worst, I think he's selfish, I think he doesn't appreciate the things I do, and I assume that he's taking advantage of me.

And then I remember the little things. The way he caresses my cheek, kisses me on my head, stares into my eyes for a mere moment without saying a word. The way he curls into my arms, smiles at the sight of me, reminds me that I am cute. Even the way he apologizes whenever he has done wrong, without me having to say a word. The moments he checks up on me and holds me tight as if he couldn't let go.

Sometimes, I almost forget how meaningful those little things are and how subtle affection can be. But, I guess that is the taurus way, and I wouldn't want it to be any different.

Aw.....Candeh ♥

You get it. 🙂

Even as a woman (with a pisces moon no less),as a Taurus....I love the idea of romance,and am free with affection.But,I'm just not that good with romance,it does not come natural to me.
However,the little things you mention are my romance,and they do come very naturally.

It is your venus in Leo.... 😄

I guess what I mean is,my romantic notions are more physical/sensual rather than grand gestures,such as cards and gifts.
A room full of candles,something silky,and some type of thrusting....that's my romance. 😉lol

And of course the little everyday things you mention.

Aw good to see that you and the Taurus are still going strong Candeh. 🙂

I quite like the older Timex advert. "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

Venus (and sun) in Leo here. I used to tell my ex-pisces husband this, just make me dinner, that's all i want - i didn't need gifts but loved to give them to him. he never did make me dinner 😢 it is these things that matter to venus in leo.

but this.... this is the important part, him being this way with you - priceless, no gift nor dinner nor rose can give you that feeling of being loved. Didn't get this, hence ex!

In a lot of my past relationships, I don't think I had so many of the "little things." I had dates and guys cook me dinner, ect, so I wasn't really exposed to this kind of affection before. Honestly, I love it. My venus in leo may go haywire at times, but at the end of the day, it's nice to feel loved on such an intimate level. *blush*

I try to let him know this all the time. 🙂

😢

The "little things" are important to all women. I know what you mean though. I have sun and venus conjunct my 7th house in Leo. I'm all about the romance over here! I'm happy for you 😉

Being sensitive,loving and caring..goes hand and hand with romance.....you either have it or you don't! With Venus in Leo,we like to be shown appreciation alone with affection..we give and give and give and give...damn we like to receive ever now and then...😉 the little things are nice..the kisses the touch the holding ..etc..but flowers ...cooked dinners..a nice lil piece of jewelry every now and then...a sweet letter left on the pillow...see candy,all this is what a true queen deserves😉...especially if she's going all out for you ..I just hope he steps up to the plate ..because you are worth it..🙂 smh!

The funny thing is is that he's not really perfect. I'm fully aware of this and how he hardly lives up to what I guess my venus in leo would want. But it's the first time where I don't really care, either. I know he genuinely tries and feels remorse when he can't deliver; he doesn't say it, but he is often apologizing. And whenever he does, I always ask him why. Those "little things" really do make up for everything thing he can't do. I don't know if he realizes this or not.

To give him some credit, he cooked me dinner last night, well it was like 4 in the morning. And I was in the kitchen with him just helping him out (I know how to cook, but I reminded myself to let him take the lead lol), and he was playing music. All of a sudden, he just grabbed me and we were slow dancing. It was just those moments like that that make me realize why I put up with him lol.

I think the one thing that made my Leo swoon was cleaning her place, as she was a mess most of the time. Glad it's working out for you. I've sworn off Leo's.

Thank you 🙂

Yeah, my experiences with leos didn't turn out too well either, although I have a bit of leo in me and I still love them lol.

My taurus is just very attentive and affectionate in his own way. It's something I'm still getting used to, because unfortunately I didn't get to experience a lot of that with some of the guys I've dated in the past.
