Too much taurus men threads on this site, yours can ended up flooped


Posted by AgentP911
I think he liked you but he wasn't sure about you. There might have been someone else such as an ex still hanging around. The other thing is that without sex or a build up of sexual contact he's not going to be as invested in you or the relationship. I'm not saying to have jumped in too soon but two months in and at least seeing each other once to twice a week would be enough to take a bit of a plunge here. I don't know where you were at with that area.
It could also be a case of bad timing. If he was serious about building a relationship with you and if he was as invested then his three week stint at work wouldn't really make much difference. You'd have both found a way to work around it. He made a suggestion which was workable. However, you turned round and said not to bother seeing each other at all! You were prepared to throw him away, so to speak. He may have gone home and had second thoughts which could have compounded his train of thought.
Why did you say that?
I think you wanted to appear to be the cool girl who was super understanding and so care free that it didn't matter to you if you saw him or not.
I do think it poor form for him not to respond to your messages and voice mails. He was probably just avoiding you. It makes me wonder if there is someone else or if something else happened here.
Then when you ran into each other and he suggested to meet up, he wasn't really giving out the good vibes and was non committal. To not have read any messages etc is not great but then I hear Taurus can be tunnel visioned if they have shit to deal with. My taurus is not like that though but some might be. You then followed it up by saying to meet up in a few weeks. Again, palming it off.
I think if you are both at this place after two months of dating then I don't see how it will get any better.
I think you would need to decide what it is you actually want in life and from him. I think an honest and direct conversation with him to tell him what you want would be helpful. If he was in a position to date and begin a relationship then he would have made that known. He may just not reciprocate your feelings. Dating is a funny game. Just because you ate for two months it does not mean it will result in a relationship.

Regarding the points you make here, I felt his vibes had changed when he wanted to arrange to see me again. He looked like I was cornering him, or putting him under pressure to see me. All I'd said to him, that it'd be nice to spend some time together since we haven't seen each other for 2 weeks, and, he's going away for 10 days. Sadly, his face told me everything I needed to know. He looked as if he wasn't sure about it.
After talking with his friend yesterday, my instinct was right. He'd already made plans to go out with him. I was never in his plan this week. He was dishonest by saying he'd be busy all this week. In reality, he does have time on his hands. but didn't want to spend it with me. Even when trying to arrange for us to meet on his return, he didn't look too excited either. Hence why I just reacted the way I did, by telling him that let's see when he's back and take it from there. I want a guy who shows genuine happiness and desire to spend time with me, not someone who appeared to be forced to do something he'd rather not do. That's all I saw on his face last Monday, sadly.click to expand

Yes, that would make sense. The non committal, pressured look etc. If a guy wants to see you he will make the time to do so and he will tell you that too. I think you probably read it right here and then his friend has confirmed he was seeing the Taurus guy on Thursday. He may not have been intentionally dishonest or misleading but the result is the same. You're not seeing him on Thursday. And at least now you know.
I don't think you fucked up anything to be honest. If it wasn't a match then it wasn't a match. Don't forget that connections, chemist and all that stuff is subjective. You may have felt it but perhaps he didn't so much or perhaps he did but as time and the dates moved along he felt it less so. It happens. Better to know now AND you didn't sleep with him so you don't have to deal with all of that. I think establishing an exclusive and committed relationship is often a good idea before jumping into sex but other things are fine to add in along the way.
I wouldn't beat yourself up about it (although you probably will a bit as we all do) or ponder over every detail (I'm bad at that 😔) but just chalk it up to just not working out. Most people aren't upfront about things. He's an Aries mercury so his communication style would be rather direct but it just wasn't a match.
Don't let it tarnish your dating thoughts though. It's not all bad!

Are your Moons in opposition? I can't see an Aries Mars with a Virgo Mars. Sounds toxic.

I'm not really familiar with the Moon in opposition aspect. Can you expand on that, please? As for Aries Mars and Virgo Mars being toxic.... I don't know... I'll have to research this, lol.
I read somewhere that Venus in Taurus were attracted to Virgo Mars though. And I've Pisces in Venus. I would have thought both Venus in Taurus and Pisces would be quite a good match romance wise. Maybe I was wrong. As Agent said, the connection just died out as time flew by. Maybe we were just never meant to be.click to expand

Thank you, Agent. I guess I'll charge this experience to the game.
Funny thing is, this evening, his friend came to speak to me when I was working out, and told me that he saw the Taurus guy earlier (they work in the same building) and asked him if he'd seen my call and text last night -- after his chat with me last night, he apparently gave Taurus guy the heads up, saying he must have inadvertently said too much. He showed me the text and WhatsApp he sent him last night. And they were both unread. Taurus guy never replied to him either. So when his friend ran into him today, he asked if he'd seen any call or text from me ending our relationship. The Taurus replied that he hasn't, and that he doesn't care about it at the moment, that right now, he doesn't care about women. Only his work matters. There we go then.
I just wished he'd said this to me when I saw him on Monday. I can take this kind of talk. I'm not a fragile flower (he knows that) or perhaps he was afraid he'd upset me. His body language spoke for him. However, I would have understood that he needed more time to focus on his work. As I said, I'm not clingy. I've always given him a lot of space. I wrote him once that I admire how driven and ambitious he was about his career. I was even the one who suggested that we don't see each other for three weeks, because I knew he needed to focus on his probation period. But he wasn't okay with it, said three weeks without seeing each other was crazy... until he suddenly changed and ignored me... and now he's singing that he doesn't care about women, only his job. Damn. Lol. What a turn around. Tunnel vision, I guess.
Anyway, his friend also advised me to let it be, and I was like, 'I will. I know it's simply bad timing, which is a shame. But not the end of the world.'
I'll move on. I'm a bit sad that it ended this way but I'll recover. At least, this didn't happen six months in the relationship, lol.

Thanks Jeane. Although your train of thought intrigued me and I'm tempted to ask you to expand on this, I won't do it. It doesn't matter now. I've accepted that we didn't click as well as I thought. So I'm moving on. Thanks again.click to expand

A new update on the Taurus, and I would love some advice, possibly from Taurus Males too.
@Jeane and @AgentP911, your input will be greatly appreciated.
So the Taurus and I met at our gym last night. I just came back from my trip abroad and he's been away too. We've talked for quite a while about our vacations, and his new job. He seemed happy to see me. Gave me a big grin when he saw me. There was no physical touch from him, like hug etc... he told me he would've if he weren't too sweaty (never stopped him in the past)... anyway, we were talking until he mentioned the texts I sent him where I broke up with him. He was really cool about it. Just laughing, saying they were angry texts, though I never intended for him to interpret them that way. To me, what I sent were level-headed messages, cool and collected, and I made that clear last night. He interpreted them as angry. We both agreed things get totally misconstrued in texting. He told me not to worry about it, it's all in the past and I agreed with him. Then we talked about his new job. I left after that.
Now I'm confused. I'd like to call him, and ask him what he clearly meant when he said ''It's in the past. Don't worry. Let's forget about it.'' Seeing him yesterday awoken all those feelings I actually thought were gone. I'd been thinking about how he treated me (ignoring me for 2 weeks, acting cornered whenever I suggested we arrange a date after not seeing each other for a while) and that kept me from reaching out, and slowly getting over him. But seeing his charming self again, and that weird energy there is between us (definitely different from the last time when I felt there was a wall between us) I've got a strong desire to rekindle the relationship.
However, I don't know if, by 'it's in the past,'' he meant, ''let's forget about the texts and resume our relationship, or, let's forget about the texts. I'm not mad. It's all cool, but I've accepted your decision.''
I spoke to my girlfriend and she said to leave him alone, that if he clearly wanted to see me again, he would have offered last night. I think she's got a point but I'm feeling so nervous about ASKING HIM. Don't want to come across desperate. I've read a few posts on the forum saying to be direct and ask a Taurus and never play games. That's the only way to know. I want to follow that advice, but I just need shit load of courage to do that. After all, I was the one who ended things because, like I told him, I had the feeling that he felt obligated to go out with me.
I fear rejection, especially since I feel like he's already moved on, and yesterday he was only being nice.
Shall I call him? Shall I just leave it alone?
Thanks guys for helping.

One thing I'm learning from the Bull am talking to is that direct is best way. They arent into small talk either. Do you want to clear something up? Just ask what he meant. You'll get an honest answer, may not always be what you like tho. I also learning that once you're in, it takes a lot for them to close you out. But once you get to that point, there is no coming back in tho. The fact that he is still talking, means you're not out yet.
So, just pucker up and ask him directly. You'll have your answer then.

i think you should do whatever puts your mind at rest.
i also think if you want to give yourself the best chance of putting this on track (guy doesn't you for a few weeks, doesn't make any plans to see you again and makes no physical contact aren't great signs that this is anything more than a friendship to him at this point) you have to be honest about how you feel.
yes, be direct but be direct about what you want and what you would like to see happen. sometimes these guys have to be taken in hand and moved into the right position. you can ask him to clarify what he meant but also clarify (use short sentences if you must) what you meant and what you felt/feel so that there is no doubt in his mind.
but finally i would also ask you to take a minute to revisit what caused you to react the way you did when you sent him those texts. are you settled in yourself that if the next time he is busy with work or being "frosty" you are ok with that? or do you want more something more consistent? are you confident enough to tell him what you want? are you confident that he will respond in a way that will be positive? if that's not what he wants and he would prefer just to keep it friendly and casual without any sort of iron clad commitment to communication etc, where do you stand with that?
it's great that you have re-discovered your feelings for him but arguments happen for a reason. you need to examine the reason and work out a solution that leaves you in a win-win situation. forgetting about it and going on like it never happened will result in you ending up in the same place.

I posted a thread about a Taurus guy I've been dating for a few months, but it's not showing on the Taurus forum. Is there a reason as to why, please? It would be nice to have more output, especially from honourable Taurus members. Are there posting restrictions for new members? And if so, how long shall I wait before my post is shown?
Thanks.

Thank you, Jeane, for your wonderful response. I haven't called him yet but I've totally been putting everything you stated into perspective. I'll definitely be direct about what I want, what I'd like to happen (a 2nd chance hopefully). I'll also clarify what I meant in my texts, especially since yesterday when I was trying to tell him my texts weren't angry, but stemmed from a place of upset, he just brushed everything off and said it's all in the past, and not to worry about it. I do really want to make him understand how I felt when I sent those.
You said to use short words, do you think, ''You body language indicated to me you'd rather be left alone'' would do? I was thinking inviting him for drinks so it'd be really easier to talk about it face- to - face, rather than on the phone. In the gym, sometimes, we can't go into deeper matters, because there are always nosy people around us.
I've also considered him being busy again and going silent or frosty. I think I'll be more prepared on these occasions. I've got my own things going, a busy job too and I'm quite independent. As I said in my original post, I've always given him plenty of space. We wouldn't speak for days before seeing each other on weekends. I truly want him in my life, as a friend, as well as a lover. Shall I tell him that? Lol, that's a tough one, isn't it? That might scare him off... Don't you think?
If he decides that he just wants us to be friends, I'll accept it. At least, I'll know.

i meant by the short sentences remark that you need to be clear and plain speaking. no long winded explanations. just cards on the table and get to the point.
personally, i veer away from "you" statements. i prefer speaking in 'i' statements. yes, it's pop psychology mumbo jumbo but i have found it works. so instead of
"'Your body language indicated to me you'd rather be left alone."
you say
"i got the sense you wanted to be by yourself."
if you wanted to invited him out for drinks don't make it sound heavy. dear god, don't say "i want to talk about how we left things." or any permutation of that. just say "i know you've been busy. it would be great to catch up. i want to hear what you've been up to. "
if you are ok with a more casual side to things then just allow it to evolve organically. you don't have to say "i want to be friends and lovers." just say "i really like you. i enjoy your company and spending time with you. i would like to see where things go."
then there's no pressure.

OMG!!! Jeane you're the best!! Thank you so much! This will totally help when I call him later today. I'll keep you updated. I definitely love the way you've phrased the sentences I should use. Straight to the point but still filled with substance. What sign are you? You seem to understand Taurus so well 🙂 Are you a Taurus too?click to expand

i'm a libra but i have years under my belt of speaking taurus.
i'm no expert. all i can give you is what has worked and continues to work for me. in regards to my own relationship, i know what will trigger him, i know how he is going to react, and i know how to diffuse the situation.
i also know that for my relationship, he was incredibly cautious. he didn't want to promise anything out of fear of not being able to deliver. he wanted things to develop organically. doesn't like the "we need to talk..." vibe because it means talking about feelings and feelings are not easily expressed. so enter high anxiety. and whatever you do, FOR GODSAKE DON'T PUSH HIM!!! (these are all the things i have learnt.)
(of course i push him, he just doesn't realise it. bless his little cotton socks.)

As for me, as a water sign, (Pisces) I don't think I'll be that lucky. I've thrown the towel on the Taurus.
I called him yesterday, went through his voicemail. I left a quick message, asking him to call me back, that it was nice to see him the previous night. He didn't call me back. Later that evening, I saw him at the gym, but he avoided eyes contact with me ,and quickly walked away as I was heading toward him 😢
So, yeah, i'm done. I'm not going to chase him. I think he was just being nice on Monday, and he's definitely over me, and he wants his space. I'll give it to him. Time to focus on me and my career from now on. I've also decided to go to our gym in the mornings instead, so we won't have to bump into each other . That'll also help me heal and get over him fast.
Thank you again, Jeane. I've really appreciated your help in this matter. Maybe one day, I'll meet another Taurus, to whom I'll give heaps of love, affection and understanding. This time I'll know what to do.

ugh he sounds tiresome. is he young? he might be an unevolved bull. from what i have heard and read, some of them can be players with some being all talk, no trousers.
no point wasting your attention on someone who doesn't want you. i don't think you could have done any more than you have done.
fingers crossed one day you'll meet a wonderful bull. if you get a good one, they are an absolute blessing in your life.click to expand

I feel I'm late to the party 😂
I was going to say, based on the recent meeting with him, I don't think he was particularly interested. If he was interested then the angry Vs upset texts are a barrier. He reads you as angry, maybe dramatic, perhaps not on same page kind of thing. I interpret his comments exactly as he said them. It's in the past. Not that it is in the past but I want to rekindle things with you. I don't feel this has the ingredients or enough to it to become something. I think when you called him and left a message to call back that it would have given him an olive branch so to speak but he didn't take ou up on the offer. However, he may not have known what or why you were calling so he avoided the entire thing.
I think Jeane has already stated that this guy is hard work. Personally, I think you have done enough. You've put some bait out there and he hasn't even nibbled at it. Honestly, I'm exhausted for you!!
I think changing your gym time is a good idea to minimise contact. Maybe he wasn't mature at all. He had already showed you his behaviour and, as a pisces, I really don't think this would have done you any good. You could have put up with it for a while, busied yourself etc but you can't go the next decade or more like that. It's not a match. There will be someone out there who is a far better match. Don't rule out a taurus though. I'm Scorpio sun with Pisces moon. Me and my Taurus go well together so it's not all lost for us water signs!!
