Taurus Assistance Needed

I have a question and would appreciate any advice. I had a fast romance with a Taurus Male. We're both mid 30's./professional He pursued me. And Pursued me strong. He called me text me constantly. would ask me out. Make any time available to see me. I was interested and never played games but I did try and pace things. The more I paced the more he would contact me. It wasn't in a awkward way, I truly felt he wanted to know me. he was extremely romantic. He was buying me gifts singing to me sending me poems, I was taken. I know romances that go fast could be unhealthy but he was so genuine. When we would go out he would stare at me. He did this for 8 weeks. At that point he asked me to meet his friends and family. He asked about being in a relationship. I told him I was willing as things progressed and even throughout the course several times told me he wanted to marry me. I did meet a few friends. He then invited me to his brothers wedding. I was not able to attend as I was already going out of town to my best friends weddings ironically. That night he calls me and says he loves me. I felt he was sincere. After that weekend he pulled back. I figured he was busy with work and I did contact him but not in a constant manner. He had to travel for work that week, and calls me and states- This isn't going to work I don't think I could give you all the things in you deserve in life. I'm also really uncomfortable with how much I feel for you. Lets give it some time and slow down. I agreed with him and let things be. However he never contacted me. I called him and we had an argument he still stated the same things. He asked that I not talk to him about the relationship for a bit because he was overwhelmed/ But said he wanted to to still talk. 2 weeks go bye and he contacts me saying he wants to be friends, everything he felt for me was true but he just feels but only wants to be my friend at this point, he wants to meet up after his feelings have calmed down a bit . I told him no, I was not ok with that. I appreciated the offer but I don't want an immature connection. and again we had a disagreement over it. I have not talked to him, It has been 3 weeks.
My question is this. I truly do still care for him, I have called once once and he never returned my call he replied with a text saying he was busy. I know he had no past relationship baggage and while he was involved with me there were no other woman that I even had a thought

In addition He is a Taurus Moon/Sun/Venus I am a Virgo Sun/Venus and Sagg Moon. I also asked him several times if there was another person because I would be ok with that as we have only been seeing one another 8 weeks , whatever is was I only wanted the truth as I am so confused He told me No, Directly and during the argument stated Every person always has options but there was no interest in someone before you and there still is not.

why can't you be his friend? i dealt with this at one point and although my initial reaction was 'no' i realised that is what he needed from me at that point.

he wants your friendship. he wants your support. if you are friends he is not expecting you to be intimate.

after thinking about it i realised the situation didn't cost me much but i could do a wonderful thing for my friend. i would be there for him no matter what and if that is what he needed from me at that point in time then i would do my best to give it to him even if it hurt me in the process. i saw the alternative as being very childish. he was reaching out to me in a vulnerable state, i didn't want to and couldn't shut the door on him.

so i ask again, why can't you be his friend?

Thank you both for the response.
I understand he may want friendship but at this point I can't do that, it hurts to be friends with someone you have strong feelings for. Especially when the romantic part of our connection was so intense. I'm not rushing a commitment, he was, initially. I do thank you both for your insight. I will let him be and accept his decision gracefully

I know no one could say what will happen but if a taurus is to back away, suppress his feelings, is it over.
Is there anything I could do or is it best to just completely move on?

I had a similar experience with a Taurus man. I didn't bother to dissect it until recently. Since there's another one confusing me. I was 27, and he was 31. We met, and became an item. We ran each other through all the tests and he kept saying it was getting too intense for him. I think I just said "ok." I moved on and we remained friends. No more sex, strictly friends. I think we both appreciated that we never spoke about our relationships. Three years later, he asked me to dinner. He told me he was moving to the east coast and wanted me to move with him. I was in SF! We talked about the logistics and I declined (I was boiling mad actually). Before he moved, he asked me again. After I declined again he asked me what he did wrong. He was so sincere.

I realized then, he slowed us down because he was not ready to settle down. In the Big Picture that makes sense. It's just not very romantic. I wasn't ready to settle down either. I think that's what your friend is doing. After my friend inherited money, he came back for me. He was probably worried he couldn't provide before. Can your guy support you, kids and a house? Who pays for the wedding? Also, I did sense before that he wasn't fond that I made more money.

I also remember him saying that he wanted to shop around. Yes...that's rude. But, it was his thinking, not mine. I wasn't ready to settle down either.

Whatever it was, he did show his cards in the end. And when he came back, we could have the kids, the house and whatever.

I'm not going to tell you how to feel about it because it's your heart not mine. But, changing a person isn't possible until they decide to change. If you really want him, I can only suggest that you apologize for getting mad.

A box of truffles, or something nice and say...ok, I'm sorry I got mad, let's be friends. Wait it out, and never ever have sex. All this of course, while YOU shop around. And don't talk about other men.

This is the true sign of an immature male--I won't blame a whole sign on this kind of behavior.

There are a certain breed of males in the world that move quick. They just get so enraptured with the idea of love and they FADE out and disappear. These kind of men that won't pace themselves disappear quicker.

One day he's professing his love, chasing you as if he has an army of 300 behind him and then poof he's gone. This kind of behavior is not only happening on to you, look around DXP and you'll see it everywhere.

You did the right thing, pace yourself despite his encouragement not to and don't be his friend because you see a friend doesn't up and leave you when the chips are down, a friend doesn't decide he loves you today and just wants you as a friend tomorrow. This kind of was full of shit from the beginning and his true intent to leave surfaced when he couldn't his way. A true friend is AVAILABLE.

It's this breed of man boys that are insecure and NEED a woman's reassurance that he is loved so they'll feel secure but those very same man boys will disappear once he's accomplished his goal or they'll leave once he can't get his way because the woman is too strong willed not to fall for the BS.

One things for sure, he'll be back, they are creatures of habit.

Update- he contacted me to meet on 5/4. I met him for lunch and he told me that he cared for me as a person that now he wants to build his career. He also stated I wanted to remain friends but you don't want too and seemed upset about that. Asked what I was going to do and if I had yet met anyone else. I explained that I've never been In a situation where someone is wanting a relationship, saying they fell in love then says they got scarred and a few weeks wants to be buddies. He replied saying there's I'm not in a relationship with anyone else but we won't be together again, then he said - I'm here you have my number. A week later I called him and said I have some questions and he told me- I'm not going to argues with you. Hung up on me and blocked my number.

I'm not one to hold on to anything but this guy was so into me. Not in a I felt he was into me. For 6 weeks his actions were so forward. He was non stop wanting to be in my life. He even called me one night and said this is it. I'm probably scarring you because I'm scarring myself on how much I have fallen for you.
How do you go from investing so much- to running away to blocking the person
There wasn't any insults I only had questions.

People say hell contact me again but I don't know. I'm not waiting just so so confused

Six weeks is not long enough for any of this. The other posters do make good points regarding this.

It is shit. There's no excuse for it. It happens.

Think about it though. If this guy is going to treat you like this, bail on you after six weeks especially after being 'into you' then is he's really of the calibre you want?

No. I thought not.

Better to know now after just six weeks than a year down the line. People show you who they are with their actions. Not with their words. We have all been burned at some point. Hugs _??_

Played it was I guess. Thank you all very much for your advice!

sounds like you failed the 'test'.
