But then again, I guess that is what you're doing, huh?

* Be Honest. Taurus are usually blunt, direct and need security. This security usually comes from trust, if you are honest with them, they will eventually trust you.

* Show you have ambitions, goals, and that you understand their workaholic tendencies.

* Don't nag them, don't tell them what to do.
* They have a tendency to disappear for long periods when things are rough in their lives. They get wrapped up and forget to reach out to others. Its frustrating when you're trying to help them because they are so strong and independent that they rather take care of things on their own.

* They like to be financially secure before making future relationship plans and especially before committing to marriage.

* they take FOREVER (well it feels like forever to impatient folks like me) to committ. I noticed for every Taurus I know and others who tell their stories on the net, that they prefer to be your friend first and get to know you very well before they'll consider a relationship. They gotta trust you, and trust that you will be faithful, loyal, and genuinely interested in them before they will decide to committ. You gotta have integrity, strength, and morals because most of them do. They like to build relationships in stages and have a strong foundation, communication, honesty, trust, security and great sex before they get serious with someone.

*The men love a challenge!!! Don't be too available, easy in bed, or flirtatious with others. They are jealous, possessive, romantic and very sensitive (yet so strong that they will often hide that sensitivity). The men are very sexual/sensual just like Scorpios (drive-wise) but more sensual than sexual. They have VERY high sex drives so if you can keep up with that, GREAT. If you're trying to woo a Taurus guy as a boyfriend/husband, don't sleep with him--they will lose respect for you if they don't have to put forth much effort to get in your pants. They will try to see how far they can get sexually, but its best not to be their "friend with benefits" *IF* your goal is to be their girlfriend or wife. They must realize that the woman they are with doesn't give it up easily, otherwise that would fuel their insecurity and further delay their desire to committ to you. In a relationship, sexual compatibility is just as important as a secure foundation.

* They are persistent, sometimes shy, but if they really really want you, they will let you know. If you ask where you stand with them, they will tell you and not leave you guessing unless they are confused in how they feel for you, unsure of what they want with you, or afraid to hurt you (eventually they will kindly reject you, if not interested). They seem kinda shy sometimes and can be so passive that you just wanna light some fire under their a$$ so sometimes they may need some clear obvious signs that you're interested. The men seem oblivious to most signs of interest, especially if you are just friends, so if you're ready to take it to the next level and you're patient with their slow decision-making then go for it--but don't pursue too much, too often, be SUBTLE yet direct enough to give them signs of your interest. Its best when they chase you because they like to feel like their partner is valuable and something they invested in. They won't easily throw away something or someone they invested lots of time chasing, built a foundation with, or someone who catches their heart. Never play games with them, it won't be forgiven. They usually don't play games, unless they are the immature, unevolved type or have a lot of natal chart afflictions.

* If you are also practical, humble and have good common sense, that's a bonus. Otherwise, they might get frustrated with you. They like their partners to be on the same level as them, both mentally and emotionally.
If their Venus is in Gemini and unafflicted- this doesn't mean they will be unfaithful. I know my friend is very faithful and resists temptations all the time. If they are the faithful type, this placement will show up in how they communicate. They will love to talk about relationships, ask you about your feelings and have lots of relationship talks. Or this placement will show up as variety in their friends, activities and social life. They definitely would want someone to be not just their partner but their best friend and twin (or someone that balances out their negative traits and possess their positve traits).

* They may forgive but they don't forget. They will drudge up old hurts and remind you of how you hurt them.

* They are like Libras because they love beauty and feminity (its a Venus thing). If he's popular with the ladies (they usually are and tend to have lots of females chasing them) you are prettier, smarter, and sexier than the competition, you will get noticed by a Taurus!

* Stubborn - as a positive, this means they are good at sticking to their convictions. They take a long time to make up their mind, don't like to be rushed, and once they make up their mind, that's it.. Don't even bother trying to change their mind unless you have lots of tangible evidence to sway them and loads of patience. I think that's the reason why they take a long time to make up their mind, because once a decision is made, they won't want to change it. Change is hard for many Taurus's. Remember, security is super important to them.

If Mercury is in Aries--they may blurt things out impulsively, then say "Oops, I didn't mean that"..for example, my friend couldn't make up his mind between 2 girls and dragged his feet in making a choice--when he finally saw girl #2 (after months with no in-person contact), he says "Yep, I made up my mind", then 2 seconds later said "oh, forget what I just said, I didn't think before I spoke. I still haven't made up my mind" LOL…so if you could handle this smoothly without losing your patience, you will be appreciated.

* They have an explosive temper but it usually doesn't come out easily. They have to be at their breaking point to get to that level of anger. Its not pretty..I usually stay away when they get mad and I don't make them mad so its never an issue for me. If they don't like you, they won't associate with you. If you wrong them, you will be ignored and given the ICE cold shoulder.

* They are private people. They don't like others to be nosey with their private life. If they don't want to tell you something, they'll tell you that you're being nosey or they'll lie or withold some truths to protect their privacy.

* They are very loyal. They won't easily let go but once they do, they will NEVER look back--especially if you hurt them. I think the deepest hurt for them is infidelity.

I'd expand on my experiences, but I don't want to relive something I am trying to hard to forget (some wounds are still fresh). LOL.... lets just say that today I had an unexpected event.. I heard messages from my ex that I thought were long gone. I just returned to the county and they restored my phone line (for work) that I had not used since September / October. For some reason the databank stored all of my saved and new messages. As soon as it went live again.. there he was - I thought I would toss my cookies. LOL...

It wasn't because we broke up, only because I know exactly what was going on in my mind in the months leading up to me leaving him and how even in his messages (typical Taurus) he did not want to let go or believe that we were finished. Of course, this would happen on the night of a lunar eclipse in good ole' Pisces / Virgo (I have Sun in Sag / Venus in Sag / Mars in Pisces / Pluto & Rising in Virgo) LMAO....

Of late I was wondering why do I do disappearing acts when goings get tough.!!

They are very loyal. They won't easily let go but once they do, they will NEVER look back--especially if you hurt them

As for the way your Taurus seems to be playing games, I found that held true for my Taurus as well. He was up front about a lot of stuff and I felt like I was getting the truth from him most of the time, but in retrospect (and even at the time too on some level) I did notice that being at his beck and call was not a good move, strategically speaking (but then I'm not much of a strategist - lol). I think you have to play it with those Taurus men...keep them wanting more, otherwise they won't have quite as much of an urge to call.
And I totally agree with you Sweet Cappie about the smiliarities between Taureans and Scorpios! The two most passionate and...ummm...*satisfying* relationships of my life have been with the Bull and the Scorp. Yum yum yum.

We are about possesions, 'things'. We say, "Here, have this - this - 'thing' I bought you (or picked you, or found you) this 'thing' because....well, because I love you."

I think you are referring to what I said. Funny, I have found more than a Few Bulls that are skilled at playing head games. Especially those with a heavy gemini or virgo influence.

I have know quite a few that cheat - but they play a game of "it's not cheating when you travel, it's not cheating if they are traveling..etc.."

I have several good Taurus male friends, some even in their 40's and 50's that have carried on extensive affairs while being totally married. I can name 5 right off the bat. That doesn't mean that it's a Taurus thing, it can be a male thing -

I don't believe any sign is above playing games, even those that are touted as being "deliberate, plodding, stable"

Hippi... Run.. that is all I can say. ANY relationship that start off being difficult to manage and with that much stress is not going to be a fun ride.

I don't like the things that have been discussed here about Taurus men with Virgo moon+Asc + Venus in Gemini ! It scares me

i dont know i guess we gemini-ladden taureans get a taste of our own medicine somehow, because i have never cheated but got into a couple of mind-playing games once with my ex and, generally, i can be quite flirtatious...

Thus, i met this really sexy aries last year, and he promised me the world (think i have already talked enough about him here), only after 3 months to start cheating terribly on me and TELLING ME everything...............

buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... (sobbing)
