Last Updated: May 20, 2024 Fact Checked

It’s easy to fall for a Taurus guy's sweet, honest, and reliable nature, but how can you catch his eye? Tauruses (born between April 20 and May 20) prefer to do the chasing rather than be chased, so it’s important to show him why you’re the perfect match. Whether you’ve just started talking to him, or want him to take your relationship to the next level, here’s how to get a Taurus man to chase you.

This article is based on an interview with our psychic astrologer, Stina Garbis, owner of Psychic Stina. Check out the full interview here.

Ways to Get a Taurus Man to Chase You

Taurus men need reassurance before they start making bolder moves. They can be shy and want to avoid rejection—to the point that they may not do anything until they know where you stand. Making the first move can be nerve-wracking, but it’s well worth the effort. Give your Taurus man a little security in the knowledge that his advances won’t be turned down, and he’ll take it from there.^{[1]

- Taurus men aren’t turned on by behavior they perceive as pushy or needy. Instead, be honest and keep it simple so that he gets the message and feels more comfortable pursuing you.
- You could say, “I really like you, and I’m willing to take it slow. No pressure—I just enjoy spending time with you.”
- You could also just ask him out and keep the date fairly uncomplicated. “Would you like to grab a coffee with me this weekend? I’d love to hang out with you and chat.”

Expert Interview. 29 June 2021.} Taurus men are honest to a fault and very good at sensing when other people aren’t, so pay him real, heartfelt compliments that express what you find appealing about him. This is a great way to reassure him that his feelings are returned and get him thinking about how best to chase you.
- Personalize your compliments as much as you can. A great compliment is specific to the person receiving it!
- You could say, “That shirt looks amazing on you! You have a great sense of style.”
- Taurus men also pride themselves on being stable, dependable people. Tell him, “You’re the most reliable person I know, and I appreciate that!”
- Taurus men may be slow to show emotion, but they love to pay compliments to people they’re interested in. Once he knows that you like him, he’ll be quick to tell you about all the reasons that he likes you, too.

Be less available at first.

Give your Taurus man a challenge and show him your mysterious side. He’ll find it more enticing to chase someone whose availability is limited, and it’ll make him feel special when you choose to spend time with him. Make plans with other friends, focus on your hobbies, and tell him just enough about them to make him hungry for more details in the future.
- Taureans are straightforward and plain-spoken, and mind games are not their forte, so there’s no need to take it any further than this. A little mystery is great, but be honest if he asks how you feel about him.
- Reader Poll: We asked 1288 wikiHow readers who've dated Taurus men, and 56% of them agreed that the best way to approach them is by giving them space and waiting for them to reach out. [Take Poll]

- Because Taureans are ruled by Venus (the planet of beauty), they generally have quite the adept fashion sense. Use clothing to express yourself around him!
- For a more feminine look, you could wear a flowy skirt or comfortable dress. For a more masculine look, you could throw a nicer sweater on over your regular clothes.
- Use a lot of earthy tones: greens, blues, and beiges will be pleasing to your Taurus man’s eye.
- Taurus men are extremely sensual, so indulge his other senses. Wear a distinct perfume or cologne that he can associate with you when he smells it.

Text him sweet messages.

Texting is a great way to keep his thoughts centered on you. Whether you’ve already told him that you like him or you’re still working up to it, sending him thoughtful messages will make him feel good about your relationship and tempt him to chase you more. Text him every two to three days (unless he’s already texting you more often) to let him know how much you care.^{[5]

- For example, text him: “Hey! I’ve been thinking of you today :)”
- You could also slip in a compliment. “How’s work going today? I admire your work ethic a lot, you know!”
- The key is to show him that you want him to chase you without seeming like you need it too badly, as neediness will make him uneasy.
- It’s especially important to text him after you spend time together, or he may think you didn’t have a good time. Let him know that you enjoyed seeing him and look forward to doing it again.

Give him a thoughtful surprise.

Taurus men secretly enjoy being treated to gifts and affection! When you give him a gift, remember that doesn’t need to be flashy or expensive. Make his favorite meal for him, or grab him a coffee made the way he likes it. Taurus men enjoy the finer things, but the best kind of gift is one that shows how well you know him and how much you’ve paid attention to the details of his life.^{[6]

Flaunt your independence.

Download Article

Your Taurus man needs to see that you’re confident, with and without him. Confidence and independence are two traits that Taurus men find hard to resist! If you can stand your ground, assert yourself in a way that is both firm and kind, and generally show him that you know your value, he’ll quickly recognize your value too.
- When you make decisions, be resolute and stand by them to appear confident. Try not to overthink; if you’re deciding what to do for a date, just pick the thing you think you’d both enjoy and have a good time.
- Show off your financial savvy, too. Taurus men work hard so that they can make good money and find success. He’ll admire you if you’re financially independent (or have a plan and are working towards it).
- This is another reason to keep yourself busy and invest in your hobbies when trying to get a Taurus man’s attention: he’ll see this as evidence of your independence and be more interested in pursuing you.

- Taurus men can often be workaholics. If you see him overworking himself, ask him to stay away and grab dinner with you to unwind; he’ll see how much you care about his wellbeing.

9

Be vulnerable with him.

Download Article

Taurus men need to feel comfortable around the person they like. They also love getting to know potential romantic interests, and will often try to learn all about you before getting invested and chasing you. As such, you'll want to indulge his questions and let him see the real you. Taurus men take time to open up and will appreciate your willingness to do it first.
- When you’re vulnerable with him, it will show your Taurus man that he can let his guard down enough to be vulnerable with you, too.
- Sometimes, the “getting to know you” phase of a relationship can feel like an interview with a Taurus man. Remember that he’s not trying to be mean; he just wants to make sure that you two are a good match.

10

Show him your loyalty.

Download Article

Taurus men are loyal creatures—and look for it in their partners, too. It’s not hard to show him that you’re loyal and earn his trust: simply follow through on your promises and treat him with kindness. Once he feels that he can trust you and that you care for him exactly as he is, he will want to chase you and deepen your relationship.
- This is where playing hard-to-get can backfire. He’ll enjoy the challenge of wooing someone who is less available, but taking it further by trying to provoke jealousy may drive him away.
- For example, flirting with other people won’t make him more interested. Because your Taurus man can be insecure over romance, it will just make him question whether you like him or not.

11

Be patient.

Taurus men don’t typically do "love at first sight." They take relationships one step at a time and wait until they’re sure before making a move.^{[10]

Taurus tends to keep their social circle small, and it is hard to break in. If a Taurus is going out of their way to spend any time with you at all and is trying to invite you into that circle, then that is a sign that there's some interest.

A Taurus simply liking your Instagram story isn’t enough proof that they are interested in you. They love to be home, so if they are making any effort to physically see you, then they must be seriously interested in you.
