Taurus guy didn't answer texts?

This topic was created in the Taurus forum by mgmtlove on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 and has 22 replies.

Why does a Taurus man ignore your texts?

Many people notice a Taurus man can go quiet without warning, especially if he’s unsure, busy, or pulling back emotionally. In real situations, it often feels confusing because he may have shown interest before disappearing. Some say he comes back once he’s ready, while others experience longer silence that signals fading interest. It tends to depend on how invested he was before the texting stopped.

After FINALLY getting this Taurus guy's number Sunday, I texted him. Sunday and Monday night were fine, but when I texted him yesterday, he was taking an hour to text back. I hid my aggravation and continued the conversation, then he just stopped answering. I've already been initiating every conversation, and now this? On Monday we made plans to hang out this Saturday, but now after my text being ignored I fear that he doesn't want to anymore. I must admit, my ego is hurt. I haven't reached out today, and I don't know if he even wants me to. Should I wait for him to initiate? Or is he not interested?

i think regardless of the sign... you should just wait. dont chase no man. let him chase you. if he's interested he will reach out. if he doesnt he's not worth your time. 🙂

chill girl.

Stop being the initiator- you're setting a precedence that will bite you in the butt. It makes you lood easy, like someone he can easily take advantage of. Plus it makes you look desperate for his attention. (I'm not saying you are, but warning you not to appear that way).

So, relax. Let him take charge.

How are you ever going to know whether he likes you or not if you don't let him take the lead?

Nothing wrong with initiating occasionally, but men should do the chasing. Men, especially earth sign men, appreciate more what they have to work for.

I dated a Taurus guy for a short period not long ago, and he did the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it and go on with your day. He's probably busy with other things, and will get back to you when he can. If he doesn't then I wouldn't bother chasing him! There's always something better waiting around the corner 🙂!

Oh yeah my bad, it's Leo that's always the impatient one in this pairing. For some reason I thought it was Taurus. I'm mixing up a lot of things lately.

Maybe you're right, but I feel more like "I'm putting an effort, do the same. If I text you, text back".

I dunno.

Weird we have the same sun moon and rising... 🙂 Thanks though! I'll assume he's busy.

Oh lol, Taurus/Leo. Reminds me of a situation with my Leo friend. We arranged to meet up one evening and he calls me. I hang up because there was something wrong with my cell, I couldn't hear anything when someone would call me but everything was fine when I'd call them. So I cut his call and call him right back. I don't even get to say hello 'cause right away he goes "Y DID U CUT OFF MY CALL?" Adorable.

Yeah your situation is nothing to worry about, but you shouldn't always initiate imo. Be chill.

Keeping score in romances drives me crazy personally. I do what I do then let it go. That's just me though.

There's a common theme in Leo threads I've seen on the Taurus board where the Taurus is moving too slow for the Leo's liking, it just seems to be the way it is in the initial stages.

Not keeping score, but I want to see effort. I never work this hard.

Taurus: (working; busy; suddenly distracted), reports, check, numbers in order, check, phone rings, answers, boss needs the statements, getting right to it.

Chillax. Keep yourself busy. When he calls, take a chill pill and just go with the flow. With bulls, everything has to flow organically.

I feel maybe he's not interested. He's constantly on a dating site, yet has no time to answer. I want to ask "Should I leave you alone?" But I think he won't answer that either,lol.

I say leave him.. clearly hes lacking on making effort with you..out of all this its effecting you not him. If you've noticed hes on other dating sites, that just gives you your answer. x
