Tried to ask him out??

I (Cancer woman) met a new Taurus man and I gave him my phone number, telling him to get a hold of me if he ever wanted to get together. He texted me that same day when I didn't expect to hear from him for a bit.

We've texted and Snapchatted back and forth for about two weeks now. I told him he had stunning eyes and he started sending me random pictures of his face. He sent me a photo or two of him in the shower, but only from the chest up. I've kept it very tactful and lowkey, but slightly flirty, which I'm doing based on what I understand of most Taurus men.

Bottom line, he flirts and always responds to my messages (which I send and then sit back and wait rather than texting him often), even if it takes a few hours. But when I asked him out, as I thought I should do since he wouldn't make the first move, he flat-out ignored the question!! I told him Friday was supposed to be a nice evening and asked if he wanted to come out and look at the stars with me or watch a movie... nothing!!

I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle to date this guy, but I'm confused... I thought by taking the initiative to ask him out, and after his reciprocating behavior, I had it! Any insight—

This is so sweet! It just so sounds so typical, I can't help you with an answer..let's wait for others to join!

Since you already taking charge, just flat out ask him, why does he do that?

Don't send him anymore messages. Wait for him to respond, even if it takes a week.

And then when he asks YOU out, be like, "I'm sorry, I'm busy."

This will make him regret ignoring you when he had the opportunity.

Then make him WORK for it.

U basically copied my other post

How unoriginal

Too fast too soon he might not like being rushed, hes probably still reading you, and taurus usually wants to be the chasers. He might also be genuinely busy but for whatever reason doesnt wanna reject you. Like the others said just wait

I agree with this. You went too fast. These guys like to chase once they are interested.

You should just hang back now and wait to see if he contacts you. If he does, let him do the work! Certainly reciprocate and even invite his efforts but don't do it for him.

It's so damn confusing!! Taurus men are laid back and observant and some sources tell me to make the first move or forever be confined to the friend zone, and others say I should let him chase... I've made it obvious that I'm interested, but then if I stop behaving that way, he'll potentially assume I'm no longer interested? Gahhh! I'll try stepping back 😱

Yes, it's a hard balance to strike.

You need to make it clear you are interested. Sometimes when you think you have made it clear, you haven't to them. After months of dropping hints I literally had to say "I am interested in you."

But saying that is the signal to them to say you can pursue me and you won't be rejected.

After that, as conventional and traditional as they are, they feel it is then their role to chase when they are ready, when they feel satisfied you are the right person to pursue.

Don't be fooled that just because you reassure them that their efforts won't be in vain that that is enough. It's not. They will only move if and when they want to. They are popular and women are going to offer themselves up to them. They will always make the final choice and decision though as to who they will respond to.

You've communicated with him you are interested. Now you step back and wait for him to make up his mind. This is the most precarious part because while you're ready to go, you are still on trial when it comes to him.

I think what's so frustrating about it, given what I've learned about these men, is we met on a dating site. We live 15-20 minutes from each other and I've mostly just been trying to get him to hang out so we can "feel each other out" so to speak, because I feel like if he doesn't at least do that, he won't know what I'm really about. He took the initiative to text me when I gave him my number and then he added me on snapchat, so that feels like a good sign, but where I had deleted my dating profile (mostly due to creepy people), he's still on his daily so that makes me feel like he's not even actually interested, which is confusing given his behavior.

So I'm kind of torn between just giving up and risking the loss of the chance (according to what I've learned about him so far, we're extremely compatible) and straight up asking him if he's interested or if I'm wasting my time. I'm going to back off like you said though... as frustrated as I am right now! xD

I think he just wanted the attention, I think Taurus men love the validation. Ignore him completely now.

He's sending me photos of his son and stuff now though... and random shit about his day. What is happening x**D

you may be really compatible but if he is too lazy to make the move then you are still stuck in a stalemate and no amount of pushing from your end is going to change that.

i don't think you can do any more. and if he is still talking to other women then i would let him get on with that. (i don't do competition.)

there are lots and lots of guys out there. you don't need to convince or do the hard sell on anyone that you are of value. either they see it naturally or they don't. if they don't, then it's their loss.

He’s lonely and wants some interaction with a beautiful woman who they know will reply back and compliment them.

Be careful.

Well sh*t. My most recent ex (also a Taurus... additionally a liar, cheater, and manipulative tw*t) loved that I did all that. He fed on it because he was a narcissist and I'm an empath. I certainly don't want to get caught up in that garbage again.

@Tresdynamiques...

There is very little information presented about this guy to tell...

There could be a myriad of reasons why he's hesitant. Not fairly uncommon for any Earth sign.

1. He's extremely bashful, may feel intimidated about meeting you.

2. He may be cautious and want to feel you out first before he proceeds.

3. He may be married, in a relationshop or just looking for some online stroking, attention or ego booster.

4. He's just bored and passing time, and you're probably just friend zoned.

1. How often have you spoken with him on the phone ( do not include texting)?

2. You're a Cancer, what "intuition" or "vibe" do you get from him? Shyness? Egotistical? Manipulative? Secretive?

3. Has he expressed how he felt about you? If so...How?

4. Has he expressed interest in your family, friends, ambitions,passions...how often does he ask these types of questions?

5. How did his last relationship end?

6. How did his prior relationships (prior to his ex) end?

7. Has the topic of sex came up? Who initiated it? The Taurus...or you?

8. When the subject of 'sex' came up, was he hesitant or was he willfully engaging?

The responses to the questions will determine his agenda.
