Taurus man not rushing sex

I know this Taurus guy for more than a year. We have never been intimate, he hadn't even kiss me. We don't meet often as we now live in different cities, but we text every day, he calls me, makes plans in advance to see me, offers to help me around the house or do the shopping, compliments me, brings me small gifts and always keeps his promises.

I was wondering, why isn't he initiating intimate contact? He compliments my outfit, even sometimes makes sexual jokes about us.

I know his attitude - he said that he is not into casual relationship, and doesn't like one night stands, though he is very sexual (I don't know maybe he has many lovers, but he never talks about other girls with me), he said he may have many female friends, but if he ever lets a women into his world, she will be special and for the rest of his life.

I know taurus males are very sexual and sex plays a very important role in their lives, so why doesn't he make a move to take us out of the "friendzone"?

I am a cancer, well it seems that he likes me, but sometimes it's confusing if is it "more than a friend" stuff, or is he just being friendly.

Anyway, he is a taurus, he is very slooow 😄 So, it looks as if I have to take control over this deal 😄
