Would love some advice about my Taurus guy, please. I'm confused.

Taurus can go silent for a period of time. I'm talking to one aswell and he does this aswell when he's extremely busy. We as Pisces need that connection badly and Taurus is more practical. It kinda tests our patience lolol .. dont block him, dont delete him... he'll resurface once work slows down. In meantime, look after yourself. Live your life, do what you do. I'm pretty sure that is what he is expecting you to do. I know as a Pisces, this is very difficult to do as we're very emotional creatures but you'll actually be doing him a favor. It means that you have your stuff together and can focus on you and he wont have to worry if you'll be fine. Hope that makes some sense...

Your friends advice wasn't wrong. The only thing I don't agree w is blocking him. That may be extreme given that you don't know exactly what is going on. Relax and in time, you'll see. But yeah, NO more messages of ANY kind.

No matter how "busy" or "Taurus" he is, she offered to give him space during that period and he insisted anyway. He made a plan, stood her up and ignored her. This is rudeness of the highest degree and it scrambles a woman's brains. There would be no excuse short of a coma that I would accept at this point. Stop believing what dudes tell you, they spout a whole lot of bullshit lol. Blocking him is up to you, it depends on how badly you want to play yourself.

"Sorry baby, I went through a week long tunnel and didn't have wifi"

Men do not think the same way as women. They dont realise how important some things are to/for us. They actually cant help it either, their brain isnt programmed that way. We women tend to over dramatise stuff that men are oblivious to. I wish more women would read into the function of the male brain. And specifically told from a man's perspective, not the ladies magazines point of view. I stick with the first comment that I posted in this topic.

No, he knows what he is doing. You want her to believe men have had a partial lobotomy and don't know what rudeness is. That is not helping her.

This is typical female thinking.

What we concider rude, wouldnt mean anything bad for the guy. They do not see things our way. At best, what she can do when he contacts her again. Is explain in simple words, that its not appreciated to go silent for so long. And tell him that she would at least get a reply, even if it is just to say, sorry, busy at work or whatever. Women need to communicate in a manner to which its perfectly clear for a man. So he knows what goes on in her mind. What we dont say, a man cant guess.

Hello. Warning, this is going to be be fairly long. Please bear with me.

Me: Pisces

Him: Taurus, May 7

I'm 28, he's 27.

We met about six months ago at a music festival I went to with my friends. Later, we found out we go to the same gym. We clicked, there was crazy chemistry between us. He later asked me out, and we've been dating for two months. The first thing I noticed was that he wasn't fond of texting. I text a lot, so I was a bit confused when he would never reply to my messages. When I asked about it, he said he'd rather we just talk over the phone. So I got on with the programme.

Our conversations over the phone don't take long, only to arrange dates etc, but when we're face-to- face, we can talk for hours. I realized that's the way he is, (I think most Taurus are that way,) and I'm used to this now. I'm not demanding. I give him his space and he gives me mine. Because we're both busy, we can spend the whole week without contacting each other, except for a couple of calls (from him) and a couple of texts from me to fix a date. We then get to see each other once or twice during the weekend, and it's magical between us. Despite the crazy connection, we haven't slept together, yet! We've kissed, hugged, he's very sensual and I love it. He can take hours to explore my naked body. This was a shock to me the first time 😄 I've never experienced something like this, as in a man who takes his time. It's nothing like being with an intense Scorpio. It's actually so... heavenly 🙂 🙂

Here comes the part where I need your advice, the part that confuses me. He recently got promoted to a new position, which requires him to work crazy long hours all week, including weekends, as some sort of probation period. We went out last weekend, (Friday) and he told me the next three weeks are going to be heavy with work for him. I then suggested that it'd probably be best if we don't see each other. I wouldn't mind. I wanted him to focus more on his work first. I've also a trip coming in two weeks, so I thought that'd keep me occupied. He said no way, that he wasn't okay with the idea of us not seeing each other for the next three weeks (well excluding the trip week). He also wanted to see me on Sunday (last week) after work. I called him on Sunday and got to voicemail. He usually calls me back when that happens, but didn't this time. So I just assumed he was surely too tired and needed a break. I then texted him this last Wednesday to suggest a place we could go this weekend. No reply. No call back. I've called him again yesterday, and later sent a text asking if he was okay but there was still no answer.

I'm confused by the behavior. I'm worried too. He always calls me back when I call him or when I text to suggest a place to go. I don't want to double of triple text him, or go to this place to check if he's okay, and come off as deranged or clingy. I'm not like that. I know he's extremely busy at work but the sudden silence puzzles me. I'm totally lost. Why suggest that we continue seeing each other during the busiest weeks in his career, and then behave in such manner? A simple call to let me know he's okay would suffice and would be considerate, right?

I don't know if I've been ghosted. As far as I'm concerned, we had a wonderful time on our last date. I don't think I did anything wrong. The issue is definitely with him. I thought about sending him an email, with a sexy picture of me dressed in lingerie -- he likes when I send those to him 🙂, to tell him what he's missed this weekend, and that I hope he's okay, and not literally buried under a pile of heavy files, lol. One of my best friends, (she's Aquarius) fiercely told me (lol, she's very annoyed with my guy) not to send any email, no pictures to reward his inconsiderate behavior, lol. She told me to delete and block his number , to make myself scarce and focus on me, and look forward to going on our trip in two weeks. Is she right? Is it what I need to do? I'd just love to know how to proceed.

I really like him. I think we've got a good thing, but his sudden silence saddens and shocks me. I can't tell whether he's lost interest in me, or work has taken over his life so much that he can barely pick up the phone to call me. Is this even normal behavior for Taurus men or women? But why not call to tell people who care about you that you are okay? It just doesn't make any sense to me. I feel It's really selfish of him to do that, and I'd like to tell him this, maybe in an email, sans picture, of course.

Or shall I just go in silent mode and just let him miss me and come to me when he's ready? Thanks for reading this, and thanks in advance for your thoughts, Taureans.

For the love of God don't block him. Your aqua friend has done Scorpio traits for sure. Give him space. Do your own thing and wait a bit. Pop up in a few weeks and say and remind him your still there. Do not take this negativity. If he cares and feels this is hurting you, he will cut you off if he feels it's better for you. Even though it hurts him too. Earth people are practically to a fault. I see it from time to time in the Taurus forums predominantly.

☝️ This! Exactly this.

Taurus will do that, cut you off even if it hurts them. They are very practical. And I found that they are honest aswell. So far, most honest people I've come across with. Just ask and they will answer truthfully. Even if they know the answer will hurt you.

I find the negative comments quite disturbing....

Men don’t realize when they ignore someone? So their stupid?

It’s dramatic to feel a way about being ignored? Make it make sense. Being ignored feels shitty no matter what your gender is. Stop making excuses for ain’t shit men and behavior.

Thank you so much ladies and gents who've taken the time to reply.

@Erinalda, you sound just like my Aqua friend, lol. She's been saying the same thing as you! Lol

So the last time you guys spoke was last Friday. You guys normally go a week, though, according to your post. Friday was when he told you he would be swamped for the next 3 weeks?

Was sunday a planned date he just didn't show for? Or a casual "I'd like to see you if possible" but no definite plans type of thing?

Does he have a set time he eats lunch, or takes breaks, or any kind of routine? CALL him at those times if he does. I dont think you should worry about coming off clingy. He sounds just as much into you as you are him... its plain to see he isnt using you for sex.

Is your aquarius friend single? That sounds like some single catlady advice.

Thinking about it, it was a casual ''I'd like to see you''. He told me he'd be finishing work around 2pm last Sunday and would call me. When he didn't reach out, I called him around 4pm just to check if he still wanted to meet. I don't think he's got set time for lunch or breaks but he's told me to call him anytime in the day, and if he misses my call, he'll call me back. It's always been that way. Thanks again for your input.

Oh yes, my Aqua friend is single. Casually dating.

Thank you. This reassures me a great deal. I did offer that we don't see each other during the busy period but he was totally against that. I've got my trip to look forward to so I was okay for us not to hang out for a while. His sudden silence after insisting that we still spend time together is what's taking me aback. I guess, situation might have changed along the way. I just wish he'd let me know. I hope he's okay. But I'll focus on me from now on. Thank you again for your input 🙂

Don't reward people for bad behavior. He is being rude, your instinct should not be to send him a pic in your underwear.

Anything and I mean anything you do, no matter how well thought out it is, will be seen as desperate by someone who just stood you up and has now ignored three attempts at communication.

Your friend is smart, listen to her.

You totally sound like my friend, lol. I agree with both of you regarding sending the picture. I've scrapped the idea. I still would like to call him though, or email him to let him know that ignoring me was inconsiderate.

Maybe mirroring his behavior is a better option.

Thanks. I think I'll do that, and focus on myself. I've got a busy working week ahead, that'll keep me occupied and my trip next week I get to prepare for.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I've decided that I'll give him a poke when I'm back from my trip, which will be around mid- August. That's plenty of time to give him space, I reckon. By then he'd be done with that probation period at work, and we'll hopefully have the time to talk more face-to-face.

@Erinelda & @bkbella86 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

I am married to a Taurus man and my dad was a Taurus. They can be real asses. Ignore you when they feel like it. My husband gives me the cold shoulder for weeks on end if he feels like I have rejected him or hurt his masculinity in some way. This is exactly what he is doing. He may come back around when he is no longer so busy and focused on his work is what he will say.

Don't buy it. This is a cycle over and over. My husband was so admiring and thoughtful and charming when we met and married. He totally rolled on me after our first daughter was born. Taurus stubbornness, unwilling to hear a side that he does not jive with, making you feel inferior. Ugh... run while you can!!

Being indirect doesn't work. Pretending you're ok with things doesn't work either. Being specific and clear in what makes you comfortable/happy goes a long way with Taurus. If they're interested, they will listen and do what you ask. If not, then no need to invest further energy. I have been very frustrated with my taurus at times, but I'm a very indirect communicator (scorpio), but then I found out he just didn't realise I was hinting about things. Give him (one!) chance to treat you right.

Thank you for your input. I've decided that I'll be more expressive rather than being less specific with what bothers me.

So, here's a small update. I saw the Taurus at our gym today, just by chance. I didn't even think he'd be there. He hasn't come around the same time as me lately. He's only been able to work out during his lunch time, apparently, but he's managed to make it this evening.

He looked surprised to see me, but then smiled and gave me a hug. I could however feel that strange frost between us. It was weird. We haven't seen each other for nearly three weeks and I mentioned that. He seemed shocked about it, and he apologised for not being in touch since he's been swamped. He asked me why I hadn't called. I mentioned the texts and missed calls, and he then replied that he just didn't have the chance to look at all the texts and respond to all missed calls he got, including those of his relatives. He added that his mum was in town this week, and he didn't even get to see her because he was working.

He said he didn't want me to think he was ignoring me, but just extremely busy with work. He then suggested that we meet this coming Thursday, but wasn't sure what time he'd be finishing work, and, he'd have his trip to get ready for. He's going on vacation From Friday for the next ten days. I could sense that he felt under some sort of pressure to make it up to me, so, I told him I'll see him when he's back from his vacation. But he still looked as though he wasn't sure he'd be able to see me once he's back, despite his attempts to arrange a date after his and my return from our respective vacations. He was still talking not being sure how busy work will be etc... , so, I said, ''you know what? Let's see how it goes when we're back. Then we'll take it from there.' 'Okay,'' he said. He looked relieved when he said it. He waved and then left.



Our first interaction after nearly three weeks left me sad and confused somehow. I was happy to see him and to hear his voice after such a long time, but like I said before, there was this sort of wall between us. I think, maybe the spark has died. Three weeks without him communicating with me must have created the rift between us, I guess? Furthermore, there will be another ten days apart... I'm wondering whether he'd eventually get to see my texts and missed calls from the past weeks while away as he'll have more free time on his hand? A part of me rather he didn't, lol.

As for me, I've decided to follow my instinct, and to focus on my own things and my own trip next week, and not to expect anything from this brief fling anymore. I get that we must cultivate patience with the bull, but the more I think about it, if one has the chance to work out at lunch time, a quick phone call on the way back to the office doesn't cost a thing. I am not on his list of priorities, and I guess, I've got to stick to this mindset from now on.

By the way his Venus is in Taurus, mine is in Pisces (yeah, double Pisces 😄). His moon in Cancer, mine in Capricorn. His Mars in Aries, mine in Virgo.

Can anyone be so kind to explain if we're even a good match based on these? I've heard Venus in Taurus are very loving, and his moon is in cancer, but based on our interaction tonight, I barely felt the chemistry we used to have for each other... well from his side anyway...

Bumped so more members can see this topic 🙂
