I have a Taurus male friend. This is how all these topics start right?

Well I have a Taurus male friend who seems to be going though some ups and downs. One day he is great another he is not so great. One day he tells me he likes me, another day he is gone. What causes this instability in Taurus men. Is it normal?

We all go though hard times. Sometimes those events can show more than we can see at the moment. I keep wondering is there something I do not see. Is there something I see that is not there.

My 2nd question: Do I act on my feeling of wanting to say" Things will be fine, just keep doing your regular tasks"

Very lost with this one. Much appreciate some well constructive feed back.

Is it normal? When he's not into you romantically it is.

Don't GIVE him anything, won't make anything better, definitely won't INCREASE his attraction for you.

As for the up and down thing. Is this how you want to be treated?

Think really hard about the kind of guy you've dreamed about LOVING YOU and ask yourself is this how I want to be treated.

I dont think denial is ever a good place to sit in. Listen to your gut. I can tell you the taurus guy Ive been getting to know for 3 months was being consisent til recently. We had agreed to meet, then he backed out. I waited a while to ocnfront. I did gently, and he reacted very well, saying he just isnt ready. He is very cautious as it taurus custom. He opened up a bit more, we had a great, positive convo.

He called again 2 days later, and now nothing for a week. I emailed and texted once, no reply. So....may he is his in cave, maybe he met someone else he likes better, or whatever..I may never know but I do know now that I wont chase. I am detaching, which is a lot easier since Ive had this experience with a scorpio. I made sure to not get absorbed by this guy. So, while I miss the connection, I am not devestated and am able to see that he is who HE is and if he isnt giving me what I need, I will move on. Unacceptable treatment just isnt acceptable, regardless if its his fear or his just being an A hole.
Being silent is a big warning sign...personally, I just cant do it, even if Im not into someone, I will always tell him. But thats just me.

Take care of yourself, dont obsess...or at least, keep busy and fun so you will obsess less. 🙂

i am not involved romantically. Never have with him. Not even a kiss really. The oddest thing he did was kiss me on my forehead. I do not see this as a kiss kiss. I was not sure what to think of this..no one ever did that.

Why forehead? Who does that except grandparents?

I think on some level I sensed he liked me but he never made a move. And even now after he did tell me one night he wished he made a move I just think of general male behavior. And it does not make me want to believe what he says. Not that he is a liar or an asshole. He is genuinely a sweet nice man, not a player, mature. He is also a pretty closed person, but he does open up to me. How much in comparison to others I know not.

My gut is confused. I am attracted to him on some level. Is it over the moon no. He makes comments that are sweet, romantic, and something that people don't just share.


I know Taurus are in their own world. Rarely share emotions, and should not be bothered. I let him be in his world. I dont contact him first. I do get this sense that he needs to share what he feels. but then he backs off and goes missing for a duration. Then something happens and he is back.

Kissing on the forehead is a sign of affection, many women have dropped those panties for that kiss on the forehead because it's a sign of endearment, that kiss on a woman's forehead remains ANCHORED in her mind and she just can't stop thinking about it thus she attaches herself to his behavior and voila HE'S IN. Of course I'm not speaking about you when I say this, doesn't sound like you've fell for the forehead kiss but clearly the behavior has curious about what's going on with him. Of course there are other reasons for forehead kissing, it's a stimulant, creates excitment!

@My gut is confused. I am attracted to him on some level. Is it over the moon no. He makes comments that are sweet, romantic, and something that people don't just share.

Hey listen, I'm not going to call him a bad guy because good people do bad things too, this isn't about good or bad least not for me.

This is about a guy whose using a few pick up techniques to gain a tremendous amount of leverage over you, all of the behavior is a form of anchoring IMO and what happens is you GIVE him a relationship instead of him having to ASK for it, asking is such a weak position to be in because ASKING gives you the power to say yes or no so what some men will do is say certain things like I wish I would have made a move, kiss you on your forehead to IMPLANT the IDEA that you 2 could be together if YOU GAVE him the opportunity to be in your life thus he doesn't have to worry about rejecting--being rejected.

This is complex nature being played out between a man and a woman, I'm not saying he's being insincere but clearly he's been around the block enough to know putting himself in a weak position just isn't his thing, he's not comfortable giving you the power to reject him so he'll attempt to INFLUENCE you strongly to let your guards down so HE CAN PASS your natural instincts to reject a man. He's anchoring all of this GOOD STIMULI in you and thus you associate that with him wanting you but doing nothing about it which creates TENSION, if enough tension is created he can HAVE YOU without putting in too much effort and he doesn't have to experience rejection which is an added bonus.
