Date a Taurus Male

Taurus are born between April 20th and May 20th, and are a fixed earth sign with a ruling planet of Venus.[1] Taurus men are hardworking, loyal, dependable, and practical. You can always count on Taurus to fulfill their obligations, and their dependable nature make them great partners.[2] Symbolized by the bull, at times these characteristics can unfortunately manifest into stubbornness and can become overbearing. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to better understand your Taurus guy and make sure that your relationship lasts the test of time.

Steps

Getting His Attention

  1. Maintain your patience and build his trust. He will be incredibly loyal, but it comes with time. It takes a longer time than the average guy for a Taurus to warm up to you. Don’t lose your patience and give up. Once you gain his trust, you’ll have it forever.
    • He may have a hard time talking about his emotions. Instead, he’ll likely act on his feelings. This can include ignoring you altogether if he’s not enjoying the relationship.[3]
    • Don’t get discouraged if your guy doesn’t seem receptive at first. You’ll know if he likes you because Taurus men make overt gestures like buying chocolate or flowers.[4]
  2. Talk about your success in a passionate way. Taurus men are career driven and love to complete projects. Talk about your passion and past victories, and he will relate to you and see you as a kindred spirit.
    • Taurus men also love money. Knowledge about finance or the world economy will make you more attractive to him.[4]
    • Be careful when you talk about your own success. Taurus men like being the breadwinner in the family, so being overly independent may turn him off.
  3. Ask for his advice and guidance. Taurus men love being in control, and they also like imparting their knowledge onto other people and being involved in decisions, even if it doesn’t concern them.[4]
    • You may have to be more vulnerable with a him, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. This includes asking for help, or telling him about a vulnerable situation you are in.
  4. Make the first move and ask him out on a conventional date. While some Taurus guys are risk-takers, most of them are more traditional than other men.[3] Rather than a trip skydiving, your guy will probably enjoy doing something a little more conventional, like dinner and a movie, or hanging out inside for the night.[5]
    • Taurus guys are usually not as brash and forward as men born under other zodiac signs. This means that you may have to push the issue even if you're not used to it.
    • The more you spend time and get to talk to your guy, the more he will desire your company.
    • He may not be a good talker, but Taurus are great listeners.[6]
  5. Dress and act classy. He likes the finer things in life, and will not be afraid of showing his lavish lifestyle. While he’ll most likely be receptive to a sexy physical appearance, you don’t want to come off cheap because it will repel him.[7]
    • Taurus men are looking for a lasting relationship, not a short fling.
    • Minimize the use of slang and try to come off intellectual.

Doing Things Taurus Men Like

  1. Go on an outdoor trip with him. Taurus men like doing outdoor activities like camping, hiking, or just being in nature.[8] If you want to make your Taurus man happy, schedule a camping trip or hike and surprise him with it.
    • Other possible activities include taking a bike ride, having a picnic, or going rock climbing.
    • Taurus men are rugged and driven and will take charge when setting up a campsite or doing a physical activity.
  2. Take your guy to the orchestra or a live music performance. Taurus men love music and will appreciate a night out at a musical event.[9] Determine what bands he likes and what his musical preferences are and try to find an available show that meets them. If you have the budget, you can even plan to travel to another state or city for the show.
    • Taurus have expensive tastes and will enjoy good seats regardless of cost.
    • More traditional Taurus may enjoy classical music over contemporary music.
  3. Fulfill his physical desires and keep it sexy. Out of all the zodiac signs, Taurus love the sensation of an intimate touch the most.[10] Taurus men enjoy physical pleasure more than emotional pleasure, and can be very sensual at times. Try to fulfill his physical desires whenever you want to.
    • Don’t play hard to get with him. He won’t be as adept at games as other men.
    • Keep the environment sensual when you make love. Use satin sheets and soft pillows to increase the physical pleasure.
    • Taurus men are more traditional but that doesn't always extend to the bedroom. Lighting candles and making it aromatic will turn a Taurus on.[11]

Maintaining a Strong Relationship

  1. Make him feel like he’s in control. If you’re independent and you aren’t used to someone else controlling the relationship, make sure that he feels like he’s in control. You can do this by reaffirming things that you agree with, so he feels like he is the one making the final decisions even if he’s not.
    • Don’t change who you are as a person. If you really don’t want to do something and your guy is forcing you, have a conversation with him or leave the relationship.
    • Many Taurus men will want to have control over the finances in a serious relationship.[4]
  2. Stay loyal to him. Your guy’s incredible loyalty only exists if it’s reciprocated. Don’t date outside of the relationship, and restrict yourself from making accounts on dating websites.
    • Jealousy may come into play when dating a Taurus, so be sure to consistently let him know how awesome he is.
    • Infidelity could ruin your relationship with your guy for good.
  3. Contact him throughout the day via text. This will affirm how much you need him in your life and will draw him closer to you. Taurus men like to be relied on, and the more you communicate with him over text, the more you are showing him how important he is in your life.
    • Like all people, things are best done in moderation. He might like texting more than the average guy, but everyone has a limit.
  4. Tell and show him how important he is in your life. Even though Taurus men don’t talk about their emotions, they think about them constantly. He will internalize a lot of the stuff you say to him, so if you tell him how important he is, it will make it clear that he has an impact and is a major part of your life.
    • He will like giving gifts but not receiving them. Instead of a material gesture, do something sentimental and from the heart like taking him on a date to where you first met.
    • You don't want your Taurus guy to make any assumptions. Make sure to make your emotions clear to him.
  5. Don’t cause drama or be unstable. Taurus men are usually more conservative, and they must have stability. If you always start arguments or like to go out and party constantly, you won’t be compatible with him.
    • Taurus men are practical and rational. If you find yourself in an argument, don’t get overly emotional. Take a step back and look at the situation with a rational mind.
