A Taurus man can seem like a puzzle. He's sensitive and fiercely loyal, but he doesn't open up about his feelings very often. Fortunately, if you're patient and steady, you can strengthen the emotional bond you have with a Taurus. We've compiled all the best tips to help you communicate and connect with this stubborn but sweet sign, with expert insights from astrologists Angel Eyedealism and Stina Garbis.

Tips for Dating a Taurus Man

Taurus men value thoughtful communication and reliability. They can be slow to form emotional connections, but it helps if you make them feel safe to vulnerably express their feelings. Try sharing your emotions with him first and practice active listening when he’s speaking.

1

Connect through physical touch.

  1. Tauruses are big on hugs, cuddling, and casual touches. Eyedealism explains that Taurus men are “very touchy feel-y types.”[1] So, if you’re trying to melt a Taurus man’s heart, try showing him some physical affection! You might tickle him, brush against his arm, or give him a hug.[2]
    • If you've been together for a while, consider giving him a soothing massage or spending more time with foreplay—kissing, cuddles, and caresses are vital for your man.
    • Due to the sign being ruled by Venus, Taurus men tend to be highly sensual and physically affectionate in a very tactile way, Garbis says.[3]

Spend time with him in person.

  1. A Taurus needs to feel close to you before he can emotionally connect. Taurus men value consistency and safety in relationships, and spending quality time together is a great way to build up these things.[4] Make a point of hanging out with him in-person—meet up after work, grab a meal together, or run errands with him. The closer he feels to you and the more time you spend together, the more likely he is to feel comfortable opening up emotionally.
    • Face-to-face connection is ideal, but this isn't to say that you can't text him or send a message when you're thinking about him. These are great ways to show your love even when you can’t meet up in person.

Cook for your Taurus.

  1. According to Eyedealism, Taurus men are total foodies, so in this case, it’s true that the best way to his heart is through his stomach![5] If you make him his favorite dish or share a family meal with him, he'll see it as more than just food. A good meal can help him relax and feel way more comfortable around you.[6]
    • Not a great cook? You can still treat your Taurus—bring him his favorite takeout or make reservations at a restaurant that he wants to try.

Appreciate your Taurus and model communication skills.

Accept him for who he is.

  1. Like their symbol The Bull, Taureans are notoriously stubborn, so he'll likely resist your efforts if you try to pry or criticize him into acting differently.[9] Instead of pushing him, try to appreciate him for who he is, and keep modeling good communication to show him it's safe to open up whenever he's ready.[10]
    • For example, you might wish that he'd be more forthcoming about how he's feeling emotionally. Try to remember that sharing his feelings is probably pretty hard for him, and do your best to be patient.
    • In the meantime, remind yourself of some of his positive traits, like the fact that he's physically affectionate, or the fact that he does helpful things for you as a way to express his love.

Keep calm when you talk about your feelings.

  1. If something serious comes up and you need to talk about it, do your best to approach him in a calm and level-headed way, even if you’re frustrated. Explain how you're feeling, and give him a chance to respond. If you approach him with a lot of anger or demand that he explain himself, he may get overwhelmed and shut down.[13]
    • For instance, you might say, "Can we talk about how you haven't met my family yet? I kind of feel like you don't want to and I'm not sure why," instead of something like, "You don't want to meet my family because you don't care about me! It's like you don't even want to be with me!"
    • It's also really important that you don't interrupt him when he starts to open up. It’s hard for a Taurus man to be vulnerable in this way, and if he’s interrupted, he may retreat and stop trying to share how he’s feeling.

Listen to what he’s telling you.

  1. In fact, if he tells you what he thinks or feels about something, that's what he's thinking or feeling! He doesn't have a hidden agenda or feelings that he's hoping you'll uncover, so you can usually take what they say at face value.[14]
    • If you thrive on drama in a relationship, you might have a hard time with a Taurus. According to Garbis, Taureans are known for being stable, honest, and financially secure, rather than wild, spontaneous, or unpredictable.[15]
    • Of course, not all Tauruses are exactly the same, but it's a good idea to keep this info in mind if you're trying to attract a Taurus.
10

Provide emotional security.

  1. He's looking for commitment, not a casual fling.[17] If you show him that you’re consistent and loyal, he’s more likely to feel comfortable opening up. Things like showing up for him when he’s having a hard day, following through on commitments and plans you make with him, and consistently showing interest in how he’s feeling can go a long way.
    • He might have an easier time expressing himself once you two have gotten into a comfortable routine and have been dating for a while. Tauruses don't like change, so knowing that you're steady and reliable is critical for emotional connection.
11

Be patient with your Taurus.

PDF download Download Article
  1. He might need space to figure out what he's feeling before he's ready to talk. This can be frustrating sometimes, but it can also be a good thing. He's thoughtful about what he wants to communicate, and he takes his words very seriously.[18]
    • One way you might initiate a tough conversation with your Taurus is to give him a heads up that you want to talk. You might say, "It seems like you've been stressed about something. Can we meet up this weekend to talk?"
