Jessied - the hot & cold thing is real. I'm learning more about it and how hurtful it can be from reading this forum and seeing how I do it in real life. It seems to be a major issue in courtship with us. Having thought about it a bit, I think its really a by-product of the slow pace of Taurean courtship. We're passionate, we love deeply, and of course there are going to be glimpses of that heat, particularly in response to distinct aspects of your personality and energy during courtship. But then we may react strongly in a negative way to aspects we don't like. The *reason* we (or at least I, as a Taurus), take a long time in courtship in the first place is because we are feeling you out, trying to soak up as much of your character as we can, seeing if you can drop what we see as the bad s h i t, before we actually commit. We know we are long-term commitment people, and we get hurt deeply if there's a breakup (plus we usually don't do the rebound thing), so its really a matter of minimizing risk.

Another factor is that we are kinda one-track minded and really get absorbed in work and other projects. We have really intense focus during these times and have alot of trouble thinking about *anything* other than the task at hand. Love interests see it as going cold alot of times, but when we come out of it, we definitely want to put 100% into the person. If you're a clingy type of you demand a ton of attention, you're probably going to be pissed off at us.

This is something you REALLY need to consider as a Leo. You folks want a LOT of attention....That's not to say you wont' get it, but you may have to fight for it, and your bull might not be as happy as he would be with a more independent type as he might be denying a major aspect of himself.

(((TLS!))) You know I like you a lot already, right? Don't go hiding now that I'm telling you how I feel. 🙂

I hear you... I understand. However, I am a mature Leo woman... I've been alone, I'm very independent, I'm passed the "young Leonine" stages where I need a lot of attention... attention once in a while is okay with me so as long as I know I'm not forgotten. But, my sex drive is still on HIGH, red alert, where's the fire extinguisher type of a sex drive that I know I can put a Taurus man (or maybe any man) to the hospital type of a drive. LOL That's my downfall... but I'm trying to get that under control. 🙂

As I've matured, I've also noticed that I too can get hot & cold... my Taurus man just said something to me recently that made me back off a little and now, I can sense he's chasing me a bit. But I didn't do that on purpose, it was just something he said that made me think that he too is getting attached to me and I got a bit scared wondering if I'm doing this out of loneliness or am I ready for another relationship.

But that's also why I have a FWB to keep me in check. *wink*

But thank you for your concern... you're such a good friend. 🙂

I've been reading some of the postings in this forum and most are complaints about how Taurus men are confusing, they're hot & cold, playing mind games... are "most" Taurus men like this? So far, from my experience with a Taurus men... they're not.

Please tell me something positive about your experience with a Taurus man. Taurus men, I'd like to hear from you too..... thanks



The Tauras guy I am seeing is wearing his heart on his sleeve, he tells me everything he is feeling,and thinking, positive you might say, but i see it as negative, I want to be surprised, I've had to cool him down, and he is learning!

LOL...you better like me. I usually get along with Leos real well (until they pounce on me and paw my crotch without warning - last female Leo friend did this [and was married to my best friend]). I am mostly Leo - Leo Moon, Mars, and Saturn. I do know a Leo/Taurus couple where the taurus man is a little exhausted from the sex. I can imagine worse things though. I don't accept his complaints; his wife is hot too. I would keep the FWB completely hushed for eternity. A conservative/religious Taurus will not understand this at all, and will feel deeply hurt by it if your FWB overlaps with the courtship between you too. It could be a deal breaker. Let him chase; if he's chasing you, he's very attracted. Be warned though, if you do a hot/cold on a Taurus, he *can* completely shut down. That's one courtship ritual you don't want to mirror if its within your control (and we generally don't do this intentionally ourselves anyway). What you're describing just sounds like normal reflection on attachment/boundaries/commitment but, like I said, we're not real risk-takers. And in these early courtship phases, most Taurus men I know almost have a switch on their emotions. They can just shut em

🙂 TLS, he is so excited that we're going to Easter mass together... he's counting the days. He's telling me what he's going to wear and that he wants to sit in the front row... I'm weighing things out right now.... because of the age difference.

Some of my friends said to not worry... I look much younger than my age and I certainly act like it. 🙂 He's approaching me very slowly... he is cautious just like I am. But I have a daughter that recently graduated college and if you add her age, there's no way I am close to my young Taurus man's age... he's not stupid... he can add.

I think he's attracted to my passion. I've also traveled extensively and we talk about my love of travel. I've also lived life as fully as I can and I've done significantly more than he has. I'm also athletic which he admires. My goals are lofty and he loves hearing about that. My passion for helping people mirrors his and he feeds off of that. My dreams and go

My passion for helping people mirrors his and he feeds off of that. My dreams and goals are beyond anybody he's known and I'be been putting it into action most of my life. I know he's attracted to me and that scares the s h i t out of me. If only he was a little older, I wouldn't have these fears and thoughts.

Another friend of mine said to back off because I would only get hurt... which I'm also considering. The terms of endearments are so sweet and calming to me. He has and would do anything for me. My friend who advices me to back off said that I need to talk to him and tell him to stop all the "sweethearts" and "darlings" and keep it business. But men my age... NO OFFENSE if there are any in their 40s and older in here... they seem like they're just waiting for their caskets! They complain... there's no life to them and I'm still embracing and living life! This is where I haven't stopped being the Leo woman... my passion for living and actually doing it. I find men in their 30s much more desirable because of the fact that they are living life like I am.

I'm so confused the more I try to assess and analyze. OH TLS... see, I'm not your typical Leo woman who would grab your crotch... I never was. 🙂 I've always been the reserved one in public and pours it all out privately to the man I love. Always been loyal, never cheated on anybody and through the years, I've built this woman I am today that a lot of men in all ages have desired.

I don't want him to shut down. I feed off of his excitement of our projects. About the FWB... No way.. that's going to the grave with me. Not

Last one TLS, promise...

But through the years... I have become a truly complete package and I'm not saying that because of ego (Leo) but through my motto of continually improving... with or without a man. I raised a daughter by myself completely with no financial, physical or emotional help. I'm financially secure... I'm educated, well traveled, well spoken, well mannered, athletic, believes in God and my physical appearance can be deceiving to a lot of people who thinks I'm about 10+ younger than my real age until they meet my daughter. Aside from classrooms, the school of life has taught me and molded me to the woman I am today and that attracts a lot of men of all ages. However, there are very few that catches my attention. Sigh... and life's lesson continues. 🙂 Thanks for letting me anonymously pour out my thoughts in here. It's refreshing.

Jess - I think your friend is giving you terrible advice. Love is love; flesh is flesh. We all get old; love lasts beyond youth, into eternity. I think you should completely forget the age issue altogether. Its a fear that is simply holding you back. You are in similar phases of life and have similar passion/energy; that is what is important. He sees you, he is attracted to you; a conservative taurus man would not be pursuing you unless he had considered these things. He's ok with it; you should be too.

Oh, you're still awake! 🙂 Thanks TLS... I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about him. It is holding me back... but historically, look at all the May-December relationships. That's devastating to a woman who is the older one... although men with younger women looks ridiculous too. LOL But okay... taking a deep breath and just letting things unfold as they may... Sunday's around the corner... Easter mass. I'll take if from you, another Taurus man. Thank you again TLS. 🙂

Hahaha! I'll be 42 soon and trust me, no way in hell am I ready for a colostomy bag and a tricycle.



Right? The men I've dated in the past who were in their 40s and 50s... OMG! they complained, they're falling apart, one described to me about his LBM another about the medications he has to take daily in order to function! The only pills I take are multi-vitamins! I keep myself healthy... and being in my 40s, I wish a man can match me. But I haven't found him yet... or he could be dating some girl in her late teens. LOL

UUUGH. YES.
My personal fave with men my age, the level of commitment phobia.
They all sit around sweating thinking about it like prostitutes in church.
*swishing sword*
GET THE HELL OVER YOURSELF. We've all been hurt, doesn't have to rule you. Sheesh!

To TLS,

Just came back from Easter Mass with my Taurus man and I'm happy to say that I remained composed and stuck him in the "friend zone". I told him twice that he's such a good friend and thanking him for coming to church with me. He looked so delish... and when he saw me, he said, "wow"! hehehe 😄

He sings really well and while sitting next to each other, our shoulders touched ever so lightly most of the time throughout church. I squeezed his right thigh a couple of times telling him that I liked his voice and he shifted closer to me and made our thighs touched throughout church. He also smelled delish. Let me tell yeah, the devil to my left was telling me to ravage him right there at the church pews! HAHAHA! But the angel to my right kept reminding me that he "is" a good friend for being there for me.

This act of him coming to church with me and worshiping with me means so much to me... more than my Taurus man will know. I was and am tearing up as I type this thinking how this man has gone this far with me and has done more than a lot of men, including my ex-husband because my faith is very important to me.

As we talked briefly about business in the parking lot, he told me that whenever I'm available to meet, he will shift his schedule around to meet mine... we hugged three times and on the 3rd hug, he gave me a kiss on my cheek.... I'll never wash that side of my face again! hahaha! I kid, I kid... but he has been there for me all this time and he is a good friend. I will not screw this one up.

Thanks again for your advise TLS. 🙂

Hahaha....see that? Maybe one day you'll see the slow Taurean style of courtship as just really one of the best ways to savor and draw out the most special/magical times in a relationship? 😉 Those sensual little thigh squeezes, legs brushing against one another, memorable smells, can stir some really powerful and precious emotions within you, that you can look back on for a lifetime. I think by taking it slow, and not jumping right to the physical payoff, you really lay the foundation for a stronger type of love. Tearing up just describing things so far? That's pretty awesome...hahahah...Glad to help in any way....

Forgive the tiled replies, easier to do on my tele-fone-o.


LOL Yes Lioness, yet we're the complicated ones. Mmmkay. 😈



Hiya shortii girl, how've you been? xx
Mmm, I'd say my belief structure is highly important to me. I'm more inclined to touch the divine outdoors rather than within walls, but I believe whatever personal way resonates within someone is correct. I'm definitely live and let live. Whether its Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, Muslim or what have you. Be good, do good. Simple. 🙂

TSL - Thank you. For prior 'research' and the compliment. Which tend to turn me into a dork. Compliments that is. 😄

Torro, that picture is so sweet I went into mush puddle. Taurus group hug. Well, if I'm Momma Bear I best get to those cookies. Explains the *my mother is a saint/ eww Mom doesn't DO THAT reaction to my saucier posts. LOLOL Thank you.🙂

>>>> TLS,
His hugs out in the parking lot lingered... then that kiss. I still have his cologne on my skin. He used A LOT! HAHAHA!

But was definitely sweet, innocent, yet, tantilizing. He is a good guy, good man, so far.... 🙂

I just don't want this to end. 🙂 Thank you again. Whenever I read your posts, you seem to be more open about your sun sign which gives me and I'm sure others some form of understanding what and why Taurus men do what they do.

>>>again, just glad to help. And I'm just sharing my opinions from experience (though I probably sound dogmatic). I do have two of my closest Taurus friends in relationships with Leo women though (one a marriage, one an engagement).

>>>Sorry, I don't have alot of restraint with compliments in general, and I had too many mimosas at easter brunch...lol. I speak my mind in sincere but socially awkward ways when I get tipsy. Some people I know (my current girlfriend esp., hate compliments). I have weird reactions to them too. One I've noticed - if I am comfortable and joking around alot at a get-together with friends, if someone says "you're funny", I instantly lose the ability to tell a joke for the rest of the night.

I do not dislike compliments they just make me awkward and shy. That would be honest compliments. Bum kissy ones or insincere ones I shrug off as the b.s. meter goes off. Real ones make me durhey. No worries. 🙂

I understand about the humor well drying up. When it's natural and unstudied and in free fall it flows. Everyone looking to you for a show, different.

aqua - please do go on....lol.

Venus/Jessied - My brother was a Leo. Funniest person I've ever met. I've always felt Leos are pretty awesome and I like that they enjoy being complimented so much; they're so worthy of it. If I could pick (even though I guess I may have already), I would probably reincarnate as a Leo. Other than the vanity/egotism (which is hard to see as a flaw, if you have it), I don't see too many bad sides to the Leo personality. Of all the ones I've met, they just seem like basically good natured people to me, as long as you don't try and compete with them or control them, etc.

Well, my Taurus friend picked me up from work this morning, since it was my first day working 3rd shift. He was like "Ill come get you since it was your first day" and I work pretty far. That was sweet.

This is only my second time seeing him this year,and things were just a tad bit awkward when I got into the car since we're still reintroducing ourselves to eachother, but by the time we neared my house conversation was flowing, he came in and we joked, then we walked outside and talked, then he told me to sit in the car where we talked for about another 45minutes. I notice that when we start to get comfortable neither of us want to let eachother go. Today was also the most he's touched me...constantly poking me on my arms, legs, calves etc.

I agree with Mr. Defense that Tauruses are totally different people in person. Thru text I dont trust him At All...In person I trust him almost completely. He is very different.

Ftr, this is one sexy boy. He doesn't try to be sexy either, a part of his desire or more lusty nature just oozes from him. Very appealing and verrry handsome. The thought of me eventually giving in to him makes me feel like a true sucker, but dangit. Something about us, or the chemistry is sooooooo darn subtle, but it somehow them microscopic cues make magic happen. I dont flirt and neither does he, yet its something we do that makes desire build. I feel old feelings creeping up*sigh*
