My Tau guy and I have been friends just under a year. He's strong, smart, thoughtful, and gorgeous! We both have similar values, adore our families and love sports. I got butterflies the first time I met him and the butterflies still haven't gone away. I have never felt so drawn to anyone in my life. I feel protected and safe whenever I'm with him.
We work in the same building, but for different companies. We talk or text most days. We've gone out on occasion, I've had him over for dinner a couple times and we've attended some of his co-workers parties together as friends. Before New Year's I told him that I liked him and had for awhile. He smiled and said he had no idea. I told him to think about it and left it at that, knowing that he likes time to process things.
Since then he has been keeping me at arms length. We still text occasionally and talk cordially whenever we run into each other at work, but we haven't connected outside of work. I know he's going through a couple big changes in his life. I am not trying to pressure him into a relationship and we haven't spoken about the blessed occurrence of me vomiting up my feelings. I'm trying to be patient and wait it out, but I'm a bit worried that I freaked him out and I'm hoping our friendship can recover.
Any advice from the wise bulls and bullettes?
Do I continue to try and wait it out? Or tell the man that I miss my friend but that my feelings haven't changed?
True to the animal that represents us, we take care of our herd. Of course one feels cared for and looked out for, because you are. That does not imply there is romantic leaning.
On the flip side, the Taurus male likes to be the lone field flower near a hive of bees. Picking and choosing characteristics from each lovely collector that feed him. Here is where enters - strung out and confused woman. With good reason. Again, there is more than like not romantic leaning. In that Taurus is about as subtle as an atom bomb.
Wait if you must Cupcake, but do not let it rule you.
Yes, I definitely have the confused woman thing going on. He has this charming habit of dropping by work on his day off to visit or drop off fresh baked goodies and he has insisted on picking up the tab when we've gone out. Even knowing that I make significantly more than he does.
Damn you Bullies for being so stinking wonderful!
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to be laying low and keeping it light with him.
