Taurus guy moving pretty fast...

I've recently been seeing an older taurus man (aries venus and taurus mars). We've really hit it off, have a ton in common... I knew he was really into me because he's always asking me questions and my opinions on things, very attentive and surprising me with things I like, and super affectionate. Lately he's made a couple of comments about the age difference might becoming a problem for me in the future as I wouldn't want to have to "roll him around in a wheelchair". I reassured him that I don't see it as a problem. Last night, he invited me to come over this weekend to decorate his house for the holidays with his two teenage kids. I was pretty surprised by it- seeing how we've been dating for a short period and that it may be a shock for his kids. So he told me he's already told his kids about me.

My question is, does this seem common for a taurus guy to move this fast? Do you think he may be running full speed ahead and then slam the brakes on in the near future? I definitely feel a strong bond with him and want to just go with the flow because it feels so right, but then I don't want to get high expectations and get hurt, but then I also don't want to hold my feelings back and become reserved.

My ex-husband was a taurus, and he displayed similar behavior- we were exclusive after 4 weeks, engaged after 5 months and married 6 months later. But I truly believe my ex had ulterior motives related to my finances. This man has soooo much more money than me, so I know that is not the case with him. Could his feelings be genuine, should I take them at face value, or should I try to slow things down a bit?

I think that if he's bringing you around his kids for the holidays, he's probably very sincere. But I think that if it's too fast for you though, you should slow it down soon but gently. You wouldn't want to hurt him but at the same time, you have to respect your comfort zone.

Just so you know though, I moved in with my ex after 5 months and we were together for years. I only did that because I saw a future. When I didn't we broke up. I don't really entertain those I don't see a future with. From a taurus pov

Awwww that's a nice story and also nice advice from the other poster.

I get the impression your fella probably knows his own mind. He's also old enough to have had life experience, he's got teenage kids, he doesn't sound like a dickhead... Which is always helpful!

My fella is Taurus sun with Venus and Merc in Aries, and a cap Mars. He moved reasonably fast from the start because in his head he already knew he liked me way before I was sure I liked him! If it was up to him we'd have had many more dates each week. That said, he's still a practical Taurean. Slow, methodical, thinks things through, doesn't make snap decisions.

Initially, I was moving at my comfortable pace of one date a week. I deliberately wanted to take time to date (there were three guys I was dating which reduced to two quickly) so I would get it 'right' this time. Therefore, becoming involved with one person too quickly was not happening hence spreading out the dates. He was fine with this.

The crucial things such as meeting his friends/family, same as you meeting this guys kids, happened later on when I was more comfortable.

I think this is a good sign for you both BUT if you feel it's GENUINELY too soon for you then explain that to him. When I say genuinely I mean not coming from a place of fear or hurt. It's ok not to rush things but deliberately putting up barriers doesn't help. It's ok to say to him you feel it's a little too soon to meet the kids. Not because you don't like him but because you want to take time getting to know him first and then maybe later on you'll feel more sure with meeting the kids. He'll see you're being serious and taking it seriously.

Alternatively, you could go and pitch in with his decorating and have a bloody great weekend. If you think about it, this is an excellent opportunity to see how you both REALLY get on. Spending more time together in that environment means you can learn more about each other... And isn't THAT what dating is about? There's only so much you can learn about someone in three hours over a dinner date. This is his environment and he wants to share that with you. How many times on here do we read about guys NOT wanting to be a man, not wanting to share, not wanting to be serious.

I say go for it. Let it flow. You don't have to see his kids again for a while after if you don't want to. As above, his kids might be a fucking nightmare and you may need to re-think if this is what you want.

The age thing might be him being a little insecure with it or him being practical. You need to think if you both match with what you're looking for. If he's had kids and you haven't, is it something you might want or he might want? No point dating a man who doesn't want kids or marriage or the same things you want and he's not going to change. You'll waste your time and three years later you'll be wanting marriage and kids when he doesn't yet he told you that on day one and you didn't listen. Apply that to what you will as I don't know your situation.

The point is you need a match. Age is only a problem if you make it a problem because you didn't do your research properly in the first place.
