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.

Be bold and let him know you like him first, as Tauruses can be shy.

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!”

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]

Flaunt your independence.

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).

- 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.

Be patient.

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.
