So I've been in a relationship for 8 months now with an Aquarius male. I love him and I love our relationship. We've had some ups and downs but the last 6 weeks have been a magical turning point for us.
I have a Taurus male friend who has always expressed interest in me and once following my divorce we briefly entertained the idea of a relationship. Essentially, we never went out on a date only had some phone conversations eventually coming to a mutual conclusion that we were better off as friends and moved on and dated other people. What's even more baffling than the fact that we never went out on a date is the fact that we have never lived near each other so we've never had more than a telephone friendship.
Fast forward to this weekend, my Taurus friend calls me up and tells me he has been deeply in love with me this entire time. Now I knew he was interested in me and that there was a very one-sided attraction but beyond that, I didn't realize he felt that he had such deep feelings. And to be honest, I'm pissed off. I see him as friend. He knows I'm happy with the guy I'm dating. How can someone believe they are in love with someone who is dating someone else?
Why would he risk our friendship by confessing this? Now i'm not comfortable being friends with him. Thanks for letting me rant.

I understand the awkwardness, but from another angle, I would just take it as a compliment. Sometimes people feel things so strongly they have to confess, take a chance, etc. It would have been fake on some level for him to remain in the friendship the way it was, having these undisclosed feelings. He knows he just made it awkard and risked the friendship though. You dont owe him anything. Its good that the truth came to light so you can deal with it appropriately, according to whatever your boundaries are in your relationship with your Aqua. And the bull may need you to be decisive and direct with him in order to move on, have closure, etc. Unrequited love is tough to deal with, if you havent experienced this, and I dont think its something to be angry at someone for. I would just respect the courage and honesty. Why be mad at someone for being in love with you? Its not like he can really control it....He probably tried though
Posted by Taurus VisionaryI hear ya, but that one probably likes you too. He just hasn't disclosed. lolol.Posted by TaurusLovesScorpio

I'm mad because I feel kind of betrayed here but I do see your point. It's hard to be flattered because now things will be awkward. I have another male taurus friend and though he's been flirtatious, it's always friendly in nature and he's never crossed any boundaries.

Posted by Taurus VisionaryNot sure what's going on astrologically, but the dame thing happened to mr this weekend. A Cancer guy friend, whom I have not seen in 4 years, confessed his undying love for me. I didn't know what to say.

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioYou may be right but I'm confident he'd never cross that boundary. I've known him even longer than the other Taurus male friend.Posted by Taurus VisionaryI hear ya, but that one probably likes you too. He just hasn't disclosed. lolol.Posted by TaurusLovesScorpio

Posted by busyeyes88She's got an Airhead and a Bull at her feet, and she instead goes for the water bearer instead of her male counterpart. Bulls mount Cows, What's Air going to do? Blow in her ear!?

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioI don't know, I'd be more empathetic if she weren't in a relationship. I'm all for honesty, but like her, I'd also be annoyed that he expressed little in the way of tact, moral and integrity by pursing me while being fully aware of the fact that I'm dating someone else. If he really valued her as a friend, he'd have enough sense and consideration not to put her in this uncomfortable position.

But regardless, it's clear that you guys are not on the same page as far as your expectations of one another. I'd reduce your phone interactions to the barest minimum, if not, cut off contact altogether, for your sake and his.click to expand
Posted by Taurus VisionaryHave you ever experienced obsession or love at first sight? I've experienced these things - both ways, so I guess I'm just a little less creeped out by it. Sometimes its just an energetic thing. It really does happen though. And its very hard to control if it does. I know it first hand so I guess I'm a little less likely to judge it.
I'm sorry, but that's really weird to harbor that kind of fantasy when the reality is that we've never been more than casual friends who happen to share a zodiac.

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioThe vast majority of the men I know--regardless of astrological sign--don't give a hoot about who's currently in the picture. If they have feelings for a lady, she's fair game until a marriage is consummated.Posted by FleshpotTrue, and its very disrespectful to the Aqua, isn't it?Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioI don't know, I'd be more empathetic if she weren't in a relationship.

Posted by CapriunicornI agree that they typically don't care, but I still think its disrespect to the partner of someone, if you are trying to actually move in on them while in a relationship. Having feelings is hard to control, but boundaries IMO, still need to be respected. You may decide its worth that risk of disclosure if you feel that strongly, but if the relationship is solid, you just pissed two people off (as is the case here). And you say vast majority of men, but in my experience, this is the way things are trending for both genders. Its like "Ok, you're married, *but* is she your *soulmate*? Ok, she's your soulmate, BUT, is she the Twin Flame?" ...lol.

I've had a Taurus man do this to me after a 2 year relationship and his exact words were, "all's fair in love until there's a ring involved, then it's just messier" lol. At the end of the day it's about him getting his feelings across just in case there's a chance.

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioLol, and an ugly trend it is indeed for both sexes, I've mainly seen it with guys but I've heard some female horror stories too. Some people care more about themselves to the point where they see nothing wrong with their level of selfishness....Posted by CapriunicornI agree that they typically don't care, but I still think its disrespect to the partner of someone, if you are trying to actually move in on them while in a relationship.

Posted by Capriunicorn@Fleshpot, I've no intention of continuing to have conversations on the phone. I can see the point that all's fair in love and all that jazz. But he's being an idiot. He seriously had a chance four years ago. It didn't work out and we both moved on by mutual agreement. I hear where @TaurusLovesScorpio is coming from but I feel he's been incredibly selfish here. He knows I do not feel the same way. In fact, even if I wasn't deliriously happy with my Aqua bf, he still would not have a chance. I just do not vibe with Taurus males at all and I've been crystal clear that he does not stand a chance even if the Aqua male wasn't in the equation.Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioThe vast majority of the men I know--regardless of astrological sign--don't give a hoot about who's currently in the picture.

what's wrong with dating an aqua?
Posted by Taurus VisionaryPosted by facerollLOL@ the things that impress Taurus. I remember my first Cancer wife had the nicest place. She was a great decorator. I felt so comfortable in her place and could see myself living in a space like that. My surroundings are so important to me. I remember how much it affected me emotionally and how much more attracted to her I was because of that....hahahaha. She cooked for me that night as well, and it was *good*, and it really did have a huge effect on me. Its embarrassing how much I fit the Taurus stereotype sometimes.
very swanky bachelor pad. .click to expand
TV - the Aqua sounds cool and the bull sounds extremely rigid/judgmental and selfish as you say.

Posted by busyeyes88Sorry Busy...gotta respectfully disagree. That Taurus male is not a match for me and truthfully anyone else for that matter. I know him well enough to know there's a reason he's still single and never been married at 45 years old. I've kicked many of guys to the curb including my ex-husband so I have no problems distinguishing between what is and isn't a good match for me. Even though we share the Zodiac, I'd rather die alone than date him again.Posted by AnomalousBullMine didn't have the pleasure to "fly" out the front door! I kicked him to the kerb and he landed on his head!! Lesson learned!! No more Aquarius. Aqua better with sag!!
Busy Exactly!
The only great thing about a Aquadork & Taurus relationship is when the Aqua fly's out the front door head first. That Bull would have been the better choice in the long term. So yes, I side with the Bull, I know what it's like. Unfortunately this Cow has to learn the hard way.click to expand

Posted by busyeyes88Posted by Taurus VisionaryWhat is the age gap between you and your aqua if you don't mind me asking?Posted by faceroll
what's wrong with dating an aqua?
LOL nothing at all. I'm far more compatible with my Aqua male.
Aqua male-Libra moon. Aged 33. Met him in January right after New Year's Eve. Took me out on an amazing date. We clicked at first site. He has the most amazing smile. He's single, never been married with no kids and is not looking to have any kids. He has a great job, very swanky bachelor pad. Very industrious. We work out together and just have such a great time when we hang out together.
Taurus male-Aries moon. Aged 45. Never been married before. We went to college together. We have been facebook friends for years. He has a great job etc but he lives 6 states away. He reached out to me when he found out that I was divorce after seeing my relationship status change and expressed interest. We talked on the phone for 6 weeks. It ended when he told me he doesn't date women with children. I have 2 teenagers.
Though my Aqua male is younger with no interest in having kids, he's been nothing but incredibly supportive of me as a single mother. He understands how to make sure that when we're hanging out together how to make sure our time is allocated to just us. It's like our own private little world. You compare that to my Taurus male friend on the other hand who treated my role as a mother as a major nuisance or inconvenience if interfered with a telephone conversation. As I stated, we're not compatible. I suspect he's confessing love now because he's not been able to have much success with the other women he's dated. Our conversations typically consist of me giving him relationship advice and pointers and it's really all about him. No thanks.
SMH, needless to say I don't believe he has his had on straight these days.click to expand

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioPosted by Taurus VisionaryLOL @TaurusLovesScorpio I can't lie seeing his bachelor pad was impressive. He's been living on his own since college so his place is nicely decorated in a very masculine but simple way. At first, I was very hesitant to date him but he is really cool and a lot of fun. We have a really cool energetic vibe when we're together and can talk about any subject ranging from race, religion, politics, history etc. He is an Engineer so his mind fascinates me. I'm in Technology so my mind fascinates him.Posted by facerollLOL@ the things that impress Taurus. I remember my first Cancer wife had the nicest place. She was a great decorator.

The Taurus male is as you said very rigid, very judgmental and very selfish and needy. He told me he'd learn how to deal with the fact that I'm a mother if I found a way to validate and affirm him whenever my kids needed me. I honestly told him that he's going to have to date single women without kids if that kind of thing bothers him to that degree. He's done that and feels like they are too shallow for him. Whatevs.

Posted by busyeyes88What is the age gap between you and your aqua if you don't mind me asking?

Posted by TaurusLovesScorpioAquas are very confusing. My cousin is an Aqua female and she is very much the wild, flighty party type you described.
TV - for me, love is love. I know this is not particularly practical or fashionable these days, with everyone's checklists and all....but if you love someone, even if they have 10 kids, I think you love their kids, as they are part of them. That is really cool about your compatibility with your Aqua. Aquas are puzzling to me. My brother was Aqua Sun/Moon and I could never figure him out. I had an Aqua male best friend as one of the longest relationships I've ever had in my life though. Our convos were amazing and wide-ranging just as you describe. I haven't vibed with an Aqua like that since and I always wonder what it was in his chart. Uranus is my dominant planet so I always attributed it to that. I tend to notice two kinds of Aquas - some are more cerebral and philosophical, which I love, and then some are like extremely wild part-type people, and I can't relate and find their energy overwhelming. I have never met a female Aqua I didn't feel overwhelmed by. But I tend to really admire the females, just from a distance. They are gorgeous, and I like their humor and find their energy amazing. I just ultimately find them to be ultra-sexual, coming on really strong and overwhelming, and pushing all my boundaries....I find one thing that really stands out about Aquarius - they are SUCH a good read on people. They are amazing lie-detectors, though I think they tend to cast the net a little wide for what counts as a lie...lol.
