Strange behavior from a Taurus male

Hey guys,

I'm new to the Taurus board and haven't had much experience with Earth sign males, let alone a Taurus male. My mother is a Taurus, but I know there are differences within the sexes.

Anyway, I went on a few dates with a Taurus male recently. We've probably been talking for about 3 weeks now. At first, he was extremely attentive, texting/calling me all the time, leaving me voicemails... etc. The last time we saw each other was great, or so I thought. I had met up with him after hanging out with some of my friends and we held hands, walked around his neighborhood and kissed/made out for the first time.

After hanging out and walking around for a bit more, he walked me to the train and kissed me goodbye. We said we'd exchange schedules sometime this week to see when we could hang out again.

Ever since then, he's been acting really distant. He would send a few texts here and there, very terse, but wouldn't respond to mine even though our text box would say he has read what I've written- definitely not like him at all. Also, no calls and no voicemails. Is this typical of Taurus behavior? To be so attentive and then drop off the face of the Earth? How should I handle this situation?

Thanks in advance!

It's your turn to chase.

Unless it's some outside influence you may not know, family business etc. I can vouch that if I appease to someone, make them feel great, go the extra mile to show I'm interested, I then expect some of that interest coming back at me.

I'd say we are easy pleased, a good pat of the ego along with a home cooked meal and you will most likely expect those texts and calls to rev back up again.

BINGO

Put some pep in your step...
If his Moon or Venus is in air...
You may be replaced a lot sooner than you expected.

Venus, like scorchedearth said. It gives feminine qualities, regardless if man or woman. Especially if Venus itself is in Taurus or house 2/7.

But no worries, if he has shown interest in the beginning it's very likely that it won't wear out anytime soon.

Haha, damsel in distress!

Imagine two Taurus Venuses just waiting around for someone to make a move lol! I can imagine years of "omigawd I'm not getting my ass to make another move until they PROVE me that they're obsessed with me." #perfvenus



And what's up with the whole "lol" thing, what happened to LULZ?

I think you guys are putting too much thought into the whole harem thing. Sure, Taurus may be a bit of a "ladies man" sign but that only means that they enjoy female company, not necessarily that they have romantic interest in them. I've noticed that my male Taurus friends seem to connect better with females than with their male friends.

Generally, just by Sun, Taurus is a one person sign because they don't like to create drama and complications. They value security and stability above all else. If you keep projecting fear of them cheating on you, of course it's more likely to happen.

Someone said that Taurus in a relationship is easy to please, I'd put it as pleased with simple things . And you'd be suprised at how hard it is for some people to do the simplest signs of affection. Just be a supportive, attentive, relaxing company and let Taurus fall in love with you. Show up at their door here and there, sit close to them and when they want to make even the slightest physical contact, let them. You might not read too much into it, but to a Taurus it can mean a lot. It's worth the wait.

Thank you, thank you for all your replies. I've been putting forth effort to hang out lately, initiating conversations and such, but unfortunately, if I feel like I'm getting nothing in return, I back off completely. I'm a Leo and the feeling of real or imagined rejection kills us. My moon is in Gemini, so as someone above mentioned, we replace people quickly as well.

It's just a shame because it seemed so promising. On our first date, we went to dinner then talked for hours by the river... had a great time. This behavior makes me feel like there may be someone else, which could be the case, who knows. We shall see!

Thanks again guys 🙂

I know heaps of people have answered but thought I'd give my 2 cents.
I'm a Taurus sun, Gemini Venus whose interested In a aqua atm.

They initially chased me in the beginning as I'm quite cautious and picky of whine I like. I did like them from the start but don't like any drama or ppl with to much baggage.

Anyway I let them chase to the point where I could assess what they were like and make a decision if I'd like to make a connection. (Over a span of a month I'd say). I can act extremely no interested to someone I like but the difference is if I don't like u in that way my communication is very sporadic (maybe Venus in Gemini does that?). I get bored of ppl very quickly.

I started to chase this aqua eventually then they becOme aloof like I did so we swap roles and then they chase haha! They have tried to make me jealous once or twice and if that happens I get quite upset but in a quiet moody way but kinda think "stuff you for trying to make me jealous" and literally can move on and find someone else. To the point this aqua tried to make me so jealous that I just didn't speak to them for a day or two and went and looked at a dating site. Until they came back all sweet and I caved! Haha

Hope that helps 🙂 I know I love emotions and feelings but CAN'T STAND people who don't get on with life and move forward.

@soultalk - think I'm a he still? *checks* yup, def a he haha

Ahhh okay haha yer, reading back over it it did seem not very gender specific. Although my name is "astrodood" haha

3 days have passed and no sign of him at all. Mind you, he usually would call/text every day. The last couple of conversations I had to initiate, but they were kind of ehhhh. Move on?

Haha mystery solved. I gave him a few days just in case something was going on, but I confronted him today. Told him that if I had done something wrong or if he didn't want to talk to me anymore, he should just tell me and not ignore me completely/stop talking to me.

As suspected, there was someone else. Someone from his past. He told me he was really sorry and that he didn't know how to tell me. I took the high road and wished him good luck with her. The end.

Sigh, someday.
