Now, read the title of the thread again before you answer. How romantic ARE you? Not how romantic do you THINK you are, or how romantic do you WISH you were. Be honest.

Men, do you woo your women? Court them, hold open doors, pull out chairs, wrap your coat around them when they're cold?

Ladies, do you take the time to cook for your men (favorite foods especially)? Do you get all dressed up for him, seduce him with soft touches--caresses that are flirtacious but not necessarily sexual?

Both: Do you sing to your partners? Even if you couldn't hold a note in a bucket, do you still warble something out just to make them smile? Do any of you still dance to slow songs in the dimmed lighting of a living room at least? LOL.

I ask, because people say that Virgos are not very romantic--sexual once we're comfortable, but not necessarily romantic.

I admit that I'm shy, especially when it comes to contact, but once I'm comfortable with you (it's all about trust) I am always eager for your touch/kiss/loving words. I will most def. go out of my way to cook my man's favorite food, and take great pleasure in watching him savor every bite. I don't need it to be a special occasion to want to do something special for him--there was even this one time that a friend of mine acquired tickets to a basketball game that I knew an ex wanted to go to so badly, and I surprised him with 3 tickets; I'm not a big sports fan, but I knew 2 of his friends would literally drop everything to go with him, and boy did they, LOL. He was so touched, and after making sure I didn't want to take one of the tickets, he had such a great time (and made it up to me in ways I still shiver delightfully over...damn...damn...wait, where am I? Oh yeah...)

I love the art of seduction, the courting phase, the soft kisses and gentle touches. I love massaging my man, and learning about his body (but, like I said, not specifically in a sexual way. I just want to know what makes him happy).

So, I ask again--How romantic are you? Give some examples--please and thank ya! 🙂

I am definitely romantic. I do take the time to cook a wonderful meal, and go further yet and surprise with a well loved treat. Touch is very important, as are the small things like actually being interested in their news when they return home from work. Allowing them space to think, trying to keep in tune with emotions and shift with them. Even something as simple as telling someone you 'see' them. Recognizing them for who and what they are. Placing importance on this. Not degrading someone with friends. My choice after all you see, my eyes.
Most definitely on the seduction. From the grooming to lovely perfume, to layering on something lovely piece by piece.
Sending saucy texts, tucking an I.O.U. in his lunch. A quick phone call to laughingly tell him to take his vitamins on break because he will get wore out at home. Preparation, anticipation.
Picking out gifts that mean something, geared just for him. Doesn't necessarily have to be anything expensive. A disc to play in his car of songs that make you think of him, a box of homemade cookies, the repair of a favorite item of clothing that has went belly up. Little things that push forward that someone is cared about, most highly.
Again with touch, but I am a toucher. Stroke an arm in passing, caress a butt, or gently stroke elsewhere to leave zero doubt.
I do sing, and quite well. And I definitely sing to a man.
Humor, another important thing. I would think nothing of strolling in on someone showering and haul back the curtain snapping away with a digi cam and urging them to strike a pose, then hopping in roaring my head off. After the fireworks, wobble on down to the end of the bed and start clapping and whistling. Well done YOU. Laughter is a beautiful thing.
Keep the home tidy, the kitchen rocking, bedroom lush, and the heart happy.

Awwwww!!! Venusian, you sound wonderful! 🙂 I hope to God your man (and if you're not in a current relationship, your future beau) realizes what he has in you, because romantics seem to be a dying breed.

I don't much much about Taurus females, in terms of intimacy--the ones I've known as friends/family were very hurt by others in their past, and chose to show no emotion to the outside world, so I never had a glimpse.

Taurus MEN however? Oh my damn @ the romantic gestures! They will completely and totally rub your whole body down--and do so in such a loving manner that it takes your breath away. I'll be laying there with mine, and I'm spent, trying to catch my breath in between, and he's laying right beside me, caressing my face and kissing my nose, and running his hand so gently all over my body...it gets me all worked up again. Everything is so sensual, so sweet, so loving--there's no feeling of him doing it to solely please me, but he gets pleasure out of it as well; I'm trying to mimic that now and he appreciates it so much, the kissing of every section of his body my hand has just trailed over, and even the sweet words (I STAY telling that man how beautiful his eyes are, and how I dream about his smile). He blushes, and says "naaah" but when he looks away his smile is still there, and I can see that he's so deleriously happy to know that I feel the same about him as he's always telling me he feels about me. God, it's wonderful.

For years, my stepfather (a Virgo) was always trying to tell me Taurus male/Virgo female, or Taurus Female/Virgo male were the ideal match, and I'd look at him and my mother (a Taurus) and be like "yeah...whatever you say...", because of all the problems they had, but I can't use them as a good example I realize, as they're old skool and both set in ways from their own eras/their respective countries (she's Hispanic, he's West Indian).

But yeah...Taurus man ftmfw when it comes to romance. He even sang to me! He's always asking if there's anything I need, and NEVER complains when I ask him for something I need...he's wonderful 🙂

Yeah. My mother is softening now that she's getting older. It's sad to watch, to be honest--this was a woman who was a tyrant; there wasn't a good thing to be said about ANYBODY from her lips. I had a Taurus friend who was like that too, and even though we were in elementary/junior high together only, she was so rude! I don't know how we stayed friends, I really don't. Guys never approached her, even though she was pretty, she was just too callous. We met up like 8 years ago, and she was still the same--her face had even just developed this permanent scowl, smiling looked painful for her and she never smiled with her eyes, even when recalling something/someone she claimed she was fond of. I loaned her our jhs yearbook, and she promised to take care of it--and about a year later I found her on Myspace and asked for the book back, and she nonchalantly told me she didn't know where it was. I was like "WHAT?! I can't get that back from the school--and all our friends signed it! What do you mean you lost it?!" She was like "you place too much emphasis on physical objects, that's no good." That bi.tch is lucky she wasn't in front of me, she'd be walking away bald and bloody.

My mother alienated herself from everyone, including her children and grandkids. No one visits, no one calls for her even, and I feel bad about it and people don't get why I should care when she was uber-abusive towards me until I finally moved the f away. My grandmother (her mother) who is an Aries, is the same way, and none of us visit her either. They spent so many years being bit.chy and making people feel bad about things that were only human in everyone that now no one wants to give a little time to visit, write, or even call.

My mother NEVER said "I love you" while I was growing up, now she readily gushes it over the phone and I can hear the pain in her voice when she says it, but when she visits every other summer, she slips right back into being unecessary with her words...it's a sickness.

Every Taurus woman I have ever known has just been very rude in their approach of others. I dare not ask my stepfather what attracted him to her, because if he tells me "she has a nice ass" I might lose my m'fin mind.

See now, that seems very odd to this Bull. I have always been a very affectionate and loving mother. They not only got it via hugs, kisses, et al, but the words "I love you" are spoken daily. And I not only had that with my own children, but others children as well. Every friend that any of the kiddos drug/drag through the door wound up saying "Your Mom is COOL, I wish my Mom was like that." It's not uncommon for old babysitting charges and neighbor children to come bounding through the door for a hug and visit. Yes, I expected the children to mind and show the adults in the house respect, but nothing that was outer bounds in that regard.
It sounds like your mother was treating you the same way she was treated. I am sorry you had to go through that. And there's the momma in me again wanting to give out a huge hug and a hair stroke, make everything better.
I personally don't go out of my way to be rude to anyone. If things get heated in fact I tend to withdraw myself from the situation.

Then it's their upbringing. I knew something had to give. It could be the Hispanic ole skool mindset (both my mother and the fem. Taurus who lost my yearbook are Hispanic...and a lot of other Taurus fems I know are either Hispanic or West Indian...hm...interesting...dang...) I'm like, "how can the men be so damn sweet, and the women be so cold—!"

You're a sweetie, Venusian--and thank you for not taking offense to my explained experiences with the female of the sign--wasn't meant to bash, and I've always tried to understand why the ones I met were so angry all the time.

When I gave them a taste of their own medicine (which I started doing to my mother when I was nearing her height, which was about 15/16) they go insane; and not like angry insane but "I'm a victim, I did nothing to deserve what you're doing to me!" insane. The ones I've met have liked to treat people badly, and got away with it for the most part because people did whatever they could to silence them by not speaking back, but yea...you can't do that with me. I'll mouth off, and won't stop until I feel like it, even after you walk away, LMFAO. I treat people respectfully until they disrespect me, so to have someone come out of nowhere and be rude is like (O_O)! The only soft point I noticed in the Taurus fems I knew was that they started out strong w/their rudeness, but once they saw that I wasn't backing down and in fact was getting angrier by the minute, they started to wind down, but my ass was still going--full force too, LOL. They tended to walk away after that, still mumbling, but walking away nevertheless. I hated it. I don't like arguments (debates, sure--arguments, no) and am not the type to pick a fight, but if you pick a fight with me, be prepared to see it through until the end.

I've just had bad luck with the ones I've met, I guess.

Awww! You're a sweet mom too? Damn--why can't I meet more Taurus women like you—

Oh heavens, I took no offense at anything you've said. You were laying down facts based on your personal experiences. 🙂
I am not sure why you've not. Most of my Tau women friends are warm and kind. And would do anything for you.
I only put my snoot in the air with people when they're obviously being rubbish or hurtful to another person, that brings up my protective instinct like no ones business. But quite honestly I don't care for arguments and fighting. It knots me up inside. Yes, I will and quite passionately when provoked, but do not seek it out intentionally.

I'm hopelessly romantic. However, you know that. Hahaha!!

I was dedicated to my last boyfriend. If only because I feel you should treat people the way you'd like to be treated, he had it good. I cooked and cleaned for him, took the time to compliment him, always made it a point to tell him I loved him, get him token gifts??_ the list goes on. What can I say? I pamper. 🙂

In the end, the problem is that if you insist on giving all the time, the other person may feel as though they don't have to give back. He suffered from this severe personality flaw. It got to the point that I felt he didn't appreciate what I did-- and there ain't nothin like a disgruntled Leo. I hung in there, got my ducks in a row & left.

Meh, no big. My next boyfriend will be treated just as wonderfully. 😄

Sorry if I vibe killed. Continue the love in!! 🙂

Do I do all of the aforementioned, yes.
Do I consider myself romantic, no.

I'm a robot 🙂

Dude, I swear 25decan should be a comedian.

Anyways, if the lady wants me to be romantic then the bitch should take her ass out to the movies!

Nah, I\'m very romantic...too romantic, got all that leo in me man, but yeah, like what the homie 25th has said, \"if the bitch is a bitch, then the only thing she\'s going to see is my dick! If the woman is a lady then she\'ll see here way into my financial checks 😉\"

I think he might say something like that or \"PHAQ SORTI, U STUPID FLY DUMB-MUDDA FUCKA, BUT I RESPET YA\' BECUZ I FUK BITCHEZ AND I MAKE SURE THEY CLAP D\'Z NUTZZ, AND PHAQ SCORPIO TRICK BITCHEZ BECAUSE THEY BE STUPID DUMB BITCHES\".

Hey, I don't mean to hijack your thread but, this thing with Jay was for real? Him 'mushing' this girl? I remember when it came out in the news and everyone said that he did it as a joke? If not, what an asshole. If so, what an asshole.

She's a turd too.

Just sayin...



Really now? Please elaborate. So interested to hear your take on her. Well, in another thread (I'll create it and then you can tell me why LOL) Not to mention, she's a Virgo so it works perfectly. Ha!

Honestly, I'm indifferent to her, but I just don't get a good vibe from her.

Girl can sang, and she's easy on the eyes, but that's about it.

Lord @ her babies w/that camel tho. Bless their unborn hearts, and may God have mercy on them enough to make them look like Mommy more...

You are damn wrong. Just damn wrong I tell ya. Yes, if he ever wanted to advertise for cigs, the "Camel" brand is def. it.

You're right. They do stay out of trouble and that my friend, is a good thing. I think she actually gets a bit of credit for cleaning him up a bit if you know what I mean. He has some swagger and rap skills and that's about it. I guess you also have to admire the fact that they have both worked hard to build their empires from the ground up.

hahaha Yeah, that guy makes me LMAO. He's an excellent addition to the crew. No, but don't get me wrong about the romantic stuff, I mean the girl has to be worthy, for lack of a better term. Leos aren't romantic just for the sake of being romantic, at least I'm not.



Obviously dude, the guy is a riot!

yeah, we all know about you leos and your big hearts.
