Depends on my mood. I can be extremely shy and a bit dorky around someone ( usually when I'm not sure about things and am being mindful of my own feelings ) or very bold and make things as plain as day ( dead sure ). Usually what I do is drop my eyes, lower my face, then bring it back up and shine at them megawatt. Let what's in my brain shine right out of my eyes, lips curling up in a little knowing smile. Touch, touching, important. Talking also quite important. Reciprocation is key. I have to know absolutely that it's being bounced back at me, then I go gunning for bear. But yes a toe dipped in the water. See if they're interested, very interested, aroused, flat out dazzled,..combination of all of them chasing across their face and eyes like a breeze..go from there. 🙂

Alas, I get so ridiculously shy, I would rather simply watch from afar and linger nearby, than actually approach and say something. Either that, or it is just that I have a fear of being rejected, which is another thing entirely; but yes, I struggle, which is a shame, as it is very rare for me to feel a spark for someone. I cannot imagine being able to simply approach someone I like. I would not know what to say at all, and this only tends to happen with someone I have strong feelings for. It is as if this immense, invisible barrier comes up and I end up analysing and trying to think of what I might say, rather than actually doing it. It can be quite torturous at times.

Oh wow. 0.0
cuz i was getting really confused. my taurus is confidant, he's constantly in the spotlight, the career he has, he has many fans and tons of media interviews. I was shocked when he got shy around me. i did bring this up later on and he just said -what can i say im a shy guy- ... both of us were giving clear signals. all of a sudden communication dropped. (either he got super busy or he backed off cuz he saw the way our mutual friend reacted to our constant togetherness - which i didnt know he was into me) Anyways ... no responses tried saying hi every now n then... only got a response twice,
anyways noticed he was very bold towards one girl.

I have been told (by one of my ex's) that I am quite intimidating. Im not sure what makes me that way. as i can either be super friendly or really shy or quiet. though i do tend to speak my mind. I had one guy tell me straight up he felt he wasnt good enough. one ex said something similar at the end.

and one said nothing but i dont remember somehow i found out he had nothing to offer me, when i saw everything i wanted in him and in the end he picked someone else 😢 ... (though he likely regrets it now as she was never faithful to him)

this entire time i thought i had been doing something wrong.
but this taurus he has so much going for him - so i was shocked when he got shy on me cuz I didnt suspect it at all the way he talks to so many people.

LOL That's the dorky bit. It's mmmm, how to explain. If you're not emotionally invested in something it's quite easy to march right on up to them and have a conversation. Dazzle them with wit, blow their wheels, make them laugh. It's when someone gets closer to the heart, you drag your toe a bit and lower your head. Unsure, wanting to reach out, or shyly presenting a bit of self and see if it's met with a smile or ( *cue shrieking violins* ) 'rejection'. It's not knowing where you stand. And Bulls like down to the ground knowing that the other person is feeling things. NOT knowing really rattles cages. I have butt loads of Fire, so that boosts things a bit. Two sides of a coin in situ. But very much I must know that the vibe is going both ways. I like to be absolutely certain. And aside from general human mayhem...players, demon seeds, emotional fuck wits and so on, Taurus is quite a serious sign in that arena. In it for the long term. Not just a fly by night. Rejection is taken hard, and I do mean HARD. Think of Taurus like a tightly budded flower. It needs earth, soil, sun, wind, water, and care. And with all these things we flower. And then you'll really see something that'll blow your mind. 😉

And there again, some are self-saboteurs, due to their own self doubt, low self-esteem, etc. they find it damned near impossible to sack up and go for it. That 'you're too good for me' crap does not fly in my kingdom. It's an excuse. And a pretty lame one in my opinion. Bundle of insecurities.. ( Stuart Smalley here, cos it's funny, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and goldarnit! People LIKE ME!" ) Seriously though woman, if you've a spine some run, and fast. Takes a grown man to appreciate a strong woman at his side, not to want to play tinker toys and ogle over the latest and greatest sticker collection. ( Do I have a point? I'm sure it's somewhere... )

LOL Oh dear. And dare I ask sir to whom you are referencing? I walk that board at times, others I just read along and vanish like mist. If it's the other, well. Like pepper sprinkled on your prosciutto and melon. Quite wonderful really if you dive down and look. Aye, you may get a large piece from time to time, and it sets your mouth afire, but the combination is very nice just the same. 🙂

thanks for the advice =]
yeah i quickly lost interest in those who did come with those. I was like ... well they know themselves well enough ... and if they dont think they got anything that's of worth to be with me ... then they most likely dont. and i leave (unfortunately they still chase which is annoying)
I have a lot of air in me. but as an earth sign i also look at the long term. if i cant see myself with that person in the long run or feel that i can age with them ill step away.

I have been lucky to have a lot of friends who are good at looking at a person and picking up what makes them tick (or not)
determining character or picking up signals from behaviors. i did (out of curiousity) take a look at this girl but
i got nothing from her. though i did get one friend who picked up (so far he has yet to be wrong) that this girl is very nice to him ... but its fake (he doesnt see it) , just because she wants to keep him around and not loose him.

He has his rising in Gemini. and his moon in cap (from my experience caps have indeed sometimes been a wee bit slow especially when it comes to you telling them that a person is not as they seem).
His ex was a gemini with Leo moon - she had a lot going for her but very controlling and from what my friend picked up, she wasnt able to control him. and he didnt like being pushed around. I did tell him i thought we should hang out again in which he responded with "definitely" ... havent been beating around any bushes. sooo i wanna see how the next hang out goes o.O

But like him I like to know where things stand and where they're going. and obviously (if no one has noticed yet) I like to analyze and look at things from all angles.
