Want to know what dating a Taurus is really like?
Taureans are most known for their love of food, sensuality, routines, and stubbornness, but I'm going to let you in on four major insights to help you better understand what makes your Taurus partner tick.
Insight #1 -- Taureans are emotionally grounded.
Your Taurus partner belongs to THE most emotionally grounded sign out of the zodiac and I need for you to remember this, because this is the foundation of your Taurus.
I want you to think of them as if they were the tectonic plates of the earth-- unmoving, fixed, and stationary. It literally takes a huge amount of force to move the tectonic plates of the earth suddenly. Welp, the same goes for your Taurus partner-- it takes a lot of friction to get your Taurus to budge. Otherwise, you just need to give them time. Lots of fucking time.
When giving your Taurus partner time, it's more about gentle, subtle shifts. Think about water carving its way through a canyon over decades and centuries. Small little tweaks here and there, slowly eroding your Taurus' walls and carving out a permanent spot in their life.
It's about showing them consistent effort and responses that will allow your Taurus to feel safe with you-- they love that. Remember that canyons and river beds were created through continuous, consistent water flow and in this case, that water is your love and affection. 💕🙏🏽 Once you've made your mark, good or bad, it doesn't easily go away. The deeper the mark, the more permanently you remain in their memory or life.
Insight #2 -- Respect your Taurus' rhythm & pace.
This might be the hardest aspect to deal with when it comes to your Taurus, but lawd. Honey chile, they move at their own pace and that's something you're going to have to respect. They're going to be completely unfazed by whatever you've got going on unless they deem it worthy of their care, time, energy, or resources. Everything else is trivial.
My late paternal uncle was a Taurus and there were two things you could always count on with him. Every day he would go out to eat at the local diner down the street and flirt with the ladies that worked there and his night time routine consisted of taking out his false teeth, then enjoying a cup of chocolate pudding, brushing his two remaining teeth, which we always joked about, and heading to bed.
Regardless of the routine aspect, Taureans also grow and accomplish things in their own time. It's slow, but consistent. They're also like a river carving out a canyon. Their effort is little-by-little, step-by-step, and one foot in front of the other. They're the epitome of "improving by 1% every single day". They're like the Knight of Pentacles in the tarot or an elephant marching across the savannah, slowly plodding towards their destination.
Insight #3-- A Taurus' affections grow over time.
A Taurus' affections grow over time, a very long time, and the reason is because they fall hella fucking hard. They value their time and effort, so they'll take their time in deliberating if you're worth it. They evaluate what you bring to their life against a life without you or even against another potential partner. But once they make the decision to commit to you, do not take that shit lightly-- they're committed and in it for the long haul. Do not rush them on this decision. If you do, you will more than likely make them uncomfortable and push them away. You end up devaluing yourself in their eyes and shooting yourself in the foot at the same time.
If your Taurus is taking a long time to commit to you, you'll more than likely need to increase your value to them. Now, I know that I'll more than likely get a ton of push back from certain communities about this, especially as a woman. There are ton of ideologies pushed into the female community about how a woman is "supposed to do things" in a relationship that I just do not agree with, like the ideas of "you don't have to change yourself for a relationship" or "you don't have to bring anything to the table/relationship". No, I don't fuck with that. You should always want to contribute to the relationship and want to bring something to it. You're meant to grow through a relationship and improve upon who you are. I'm not saying to abandon yourself, but become the best fucking version of yourself possible.
It took me two years, almost two and a half years really, to lockdown my Taurus rising boyfriend into full on commitment. And over those two years, I was consistently increasing my value to him by improving who I was as a person. I worked on my mental-emotional triggers and responses, my business, my body, and many other things along the way. I increased my value so heavily that he can no longer imagine life without me and is putting in the work to bring us up to our next level along side of me. It's incredible and the amount of growth I'm able to create within myself and my life. He even told my daughter, my eldest, that it's the number one reason he admires and loves me when she asked why he loves me.
But once you lockdown a Taurus, they're fixated on you for the long run and that leads me to my fourth and final major insight when it comes to dating a Taurus.
Insight #4-- Taureans are possessive and territorial.
Remember how I said that Taureans take a long time to make a decision about committing to a partner? Well, I mean it when I said that they do not make that decision lightly. They know just how intensely and deeply they can love their partner. They're in it for the fucking long haul. They're usually not looking for something that'll end in a year or two. No, no, no. Nor these Taurus babies. They want something that's going to last.
When they set their eyes on you, they literally fixate and see no one else. They're like a horse with blinders on. They'll want you all to themselves and nobody else. I can't even lie to you about how intense this fixation is.
To share an extreme version of this, I had a friend that was dating a guy when we were in early high school and he was a Taurus, I'm not going to go into the details, but that breakup was so hard on my friend and it was no laughing matter. She had to change phone numbers and her family had to file a restraining order.
If you're not ready for this kind of commitment, leave that Taurus alone. Do not waste their time. When you commit to a Taurus, expect to stay committed or, even better, go into dating a Taurus with the intention to be in it for the long haul and if you get your cards right, in it for life.
