Really don’t know if this would be categorized as silent treatment but oh well.

Was supposed to have a date with Taurus guy friday, i forgot i was supposed to go out with a friend that night as well, but since we were going clubbing it wouldn’t interrupt my date. Anyways i ask taurus if he wants to join us to the club that night that he is more than welcome... after I tell him he completely goes silent( totally not how he would normally act since we call eachother on the phone literally every day.

Friday comes and he still is silent. I send him a text asking if something is wrong and he immediately responds with ‘every time i want to hang out with you you have something planned, its always this or that’. I tell him that my clubbing plans wouldnt interrupt our date since we wouldve met up early and would have more than enough time to talk. Anyways he goes completely silent again and now im like?? This guy asked me out so many times and now it was supposed to happen and he goes completely silent.

Should I give him his space till he’s not pissed anymore or is he completely checked out?

Yup. Bad move. Taurus likes to feel special - exclusive, and Gem doesn't really understand this part of the Taurus mindset. He wanted to be with YOU, not you and a bunch of other people. If he's giving you the silent treatment, his silence is speaking for him. Honestly, I'd just move on and learn from the experience. Gems always move ahead easily and rarely get stuck in rut. It's the beauty of the twins.

Moving on as supposed to make up by cancelling your freaking group meeting? Soooo...you didn’t need him on a first place and he was right to check out! He doesn’t need THAT!!!

No men does...

Are you that self absorbent? Good luck giving Gemini bad name as if we need more of it...👿

I want to stick up for my sign. We ARE get stuck in a rut as other signs...

She apparently doesn’t care about Taurus enough to understand his needs. Otherwise she would not even considered other plans. That’s not Gem character. It’s more than that!

@VenusX nailed it. To me a date is one on one time. He probably feels you’re not prioritising him. You could pull it back if you emphasised it would just be the two of you.

You don’t say how many dates it has been though. I’d want it to be one on one the first, say, 8-10 dates but after that happy to meet with friends part way through. Just depends on the relationship status.


My thoughts exactly 100% .. 8-10 dates one on one to know each other better and after that meeting with others if its still going fine.

"This guy asked me out so many times and now it was supposed to happen and he goes completely silent." first date?

I'm thinking this too. Sounds like it's a first date AND she's kinda nonchalant about it 🤷 I'd go silent too. Additionally, if this is the first date, why would the OP suggest that her date meet her friends? That's lame. #justsayin'

Me going to a party with my friend(that was already planned weeks ahead) wouldnt have interfered with our date. It would’ve been a date during the day so how would me going out late at night mess up our date ‘time’.

Again my other plans wouldn’t have interfered with our date. Since when is it not allowed to plan several meetings in one day, especially when they dont overlap.

He never cancelled the date or responded to what I had to say after he told me he was annoyed with the whole date thing. To me that’s rude.

I’m surprised how everyone is saying i dont give a shit about the guy. Obviously i did otherwise I wouldnt meet up or open a topic on here. I keep repeating myself since when is it not allowed to have multiple meet ups in one day?

maybe it was a misunderstanding. if you were seeing him during the day, why did you feel the need to bring your plans that evening up?

u can't put a time limit on a date tho......

u have a lot of appointments and it seems that ur used to dates since u can squeeze it in so tightly around other important plans. it makes u seem like a serial dater (not a bad thing, but this dude might have serious ideals in mind), and it also makes u seem unexcited/unnervous which means he's just another guy (which he probably is but ur not supposed to say that)

Here's the thing; You seem to have the answers already. Right? So....what are you really looking for here? I don't get it.

Again, sounds like a first date. It also sounds like he's over you 🤷

I think it's admirable that you didn't decide to forgo your prior arrangements with your friend and instead, invited the Taurus to come along. Some people would've opted to ditch the friend.

That being said, he mentioned that this wasn't the first time something coincidentally interrupted your plans, so it sounds like the accumulation of past events leading up to this one resulted in a (wrongly) perceived lack of interest from your end. The fact that it wasn't a 1-on-1 date was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Your casual demeanor probably conveyed that you're not too invested and treating him as an after-thought.

If that were the case, I don't think all hope is lost, but it's definitely going to require a lot more effort on your part.

From what I understand, the date was scheduled first. I would take this behavior as the person not being very into me, which would be fine if I was screwing around, but not if I was hoping to date.

It reads to me as though she had made plans with the Taurus, then later recalled having already made plans with a friend on the same day.

I understand how that could be misconstrued as a lack of effort, although in this case, it really is just a matter of bad timing and miscommunication.
