In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about loving this warm, grounded earth sign.

1

Let him have his way (most of the time).

Stubbornness is a key Taurus personality trait, so try to roll with it. Taurus is represented by the bull, and that’s where they get their deeply ingrained stubborn streak. Once a Taurus makes up his mind, it’s nearly impossible to get him to change it. He won't like it if you try to change his mind, either.^{[1]

- You can still influence him as long as you're subtle. Introduce your idea and let him come to his own conclusion about it. Works every time!

2

Focus all of your attention on him.

Tauruses are jealous and can't handle partners with wandering eyes. Taurus men are extremely loyal, but they expect that loyalty back. They will only invest in long-term relationships with serious partners who are wholly devoted to them. Keep your gaze fixed on him and he’ll be all yours.^{[2]

- Flirting with other guys to make a Taurus jealous is a very bad idea. He'll become angry and possessive immediately.
- Compliments go a long way with Tauruses and can help boost their self-esteem. For example, you might say something like, "You're hands down the hottest guy in this restaurant. I'm so lucky."

Encourage him to pursue his goals.

Taurus men are extremely goal-oriented folks. Goal attainment is a big deal for this sign. They will hyper-focus on their chosen goal until they succeed and absolutely nothing will stand in their way (that includes you!) However, if you encourage your man to pursue his goals and dreams, he’ll love you for it.^{[3]

- Let your man know how talented you think he is, as well. It will inspire him to keep following his dreams. For example, you might say, "You're such a talented artist, Seth. If you submit your paintings, the gallery will definitely show your pieces in their fall exhibit."

Most Taurus men are sensitive to criticism. Your man won’t be completely against criticism as long as it’s constructive, but stay mindful of your tone, body language, and overall demeanor when you deliver it. Be gentle and put a positive spin on it so he feels supported and understood rather than attacked.^{[7]

Be patient and give him time to open up.

Tauruses find it hard to express their feelings in words. They may seem tough and stoic on the outside, but that doesn’t truly represent what’s going on internally. This is especially true at the beginning of a relationship, but don’t worry—they'll slowly open up to you over time. You’ll be rewarded for your patience, so hang in there!^{[8]
