  1. Taurus men tend to be a little shy and introverted when catching feelings. But while he may be reserved and cautious at first, a Taurus man will give himself completely to you once he’s decided that you’re the one. [1]

    • Taurus men tend to be homebodies, so it’s extra meaningful when they go out of their way to hang out with you.
    • A Taurus man “simply liking your Instagram story isn’t proof that they’re interested in you,” says psychic astrologer Stina Garbis.
    • Tauruses love to hang out at home and scroll on their phones, continues Garbis, “so if they’re making any effort to physically see you, then they must be seriously interested in you.”

  3. When he’s decided you’re the one, a Taurus man will go to great lengths to take good care of you. He’ll really listen to you when you express your needs and he’ll do anything he can to meet them. [2]
    • You’ll know a Taurus guy is serious about you because he’ll take the time to listen to all the little parts of your day—and he’ll remember them!
    • If you told him two months ago that your favorite ice cream flavor is rocky road, don’t be surprised if he shows up with a pint.
  4. Taurus men are very protective of the things and people they care about. Your Taurus fella will do everything he can to keep you safe and make you feel comfortable. The flip side of this Taurus trait is that they can become very jealous if they feel like someone else is threatening their relationship or connection with you. [3]
    • This jealous side usually comes out once a Taurus already feels deeply for you, then hears you talking about your ex or sees you getting approached by other men. [4]
    • Understand that this jealous nature comes from the Taurus man’s deep need for commitment and loyalty from his significant other.
    • Set boundaries with your jealous Taurus man and reassure him of your love and loyalty to him.
    • However, if his jealousy consistently escalates to yelling, emotional outbursts, or other behavior that makes you feel unsafe, you may want to assess if you’re in any abusive relationship .
    • Other signs of unhealthy jealousy in a Taurus man include him checking in with you frequently on a night out or trying to control who you talk to and spend time with. [5]
  5. Though sometimes soft-spoken, Taurus men are very passionate. They express their love with tenderness and physical affection. A Taurus man who is really into you will constantly find ways to touch you, whether through hugs, kisses, handholding, or more sensual activities. [6]
    • Taurus’ touchy-feely tendencies come from them being ruled by Venus, also known as the planet of love.
    • According to Stina Garbis, astrology expert and owner of Psychic Stina , this ruling planet is the reason why Taurus men have such a “highly sensual and physically affectionate side that’s very tactile.”
  6. While Taurus men are big fans of romancing the object of their affection, they often opt for simple pleasures over grand gestures. As a practical sign that tends to focus on material things, a Taurus spending money on you is a big sign that they think you’re the one. [7]
    • Spending money on you is one of the top signs that a Taurus man likes you, confirms astrologer Angel Eyedealism.
    • As Eyedealism explains, a Taurus man “wants to impress you with how much money or property he has, so he’d want to buy you a gift that [makes] it obvious he spent money on something with a label attached to it.”
    • Aside from material goods, a Taurus man’s romantic gifts may often focus on sensory experiences like an elaborate meal, an elegant wine tasting, or a couples massage.
  7. While Taurus men enjoy going out, they’re really homebodies at heart. They need to have a safe place where they can relax and be fully themselves. [8]
    • If a Taurus starts inviting you over for at-home movie nights, backyard picnics, or home-cooked meals, it’s a good sign that he’s committed to you and comfortable enough to bring you into his safe spice.
  8. Because Taurus men are so loyal and committed to their trusted inner circle, being invited to hang out with their friends and family is a big deal.
    • “If a Taurus is going out of their way to spend time with you and…trying to invite you into that circle, that’s a sign that there’s some interest,” claims expert astrologist Stina Garbis.
  9. Tauruses are probably the most loyal sign in the Zodiac, but they take time to really trust someone and commit to them. A Taurus man may test you when you first start dating, but once they feel safe and comfortable with you, you’ll know because they’ll open up to you and never stray from your side. [9]
  10. The Taurus man is all about stability, security, and building a wonderful home with the person he loves. If he’s decided that that person is you, you’ll start to hear him talk about plans for a future that includes you. [10]
    • He may start to ask you about your opinions on children, finances, or where you would want to settle down.
  11. Tauruses really value open and honest communication. When he knows for certain that he wants to commit to you, he’ll tell you directly.
    • After that, it’s just up to you to decide whether or not you feel the same and want to continue dating your Taurus man .

How to Get a Taurus Man to Commit

  1. Gift-giving, acts of service, and physical touch are the main love languages that a Taurus man will appreciate. Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis recommends “offering to help him clean his house, help him decorate, or get him a gift of decor, a richly scented candle, or a fancy pillow.”
    • Taurus is also a very sensual sign, continues Garbis, so “you can make a fast track to his heart by breaking out the massage oil and giving him a sensual rub down.”
    • Professional astrologist Angel Eyedealism also confirms a Taurus man’s love of food and expensive gifts.
    • Eyedealism recommends impressing your Taurus beau by “inviting him to a very expensive restaurant…they’re really the money sign and [they value] the status that goes with money.
  2. Emotionally connect to a Taurus man by opening up to him gradually and being vulnerable about how you feel. Follow through on things you share with him—even minor or unintentional lies will cause a lot of damage in a Taurus relationship. [11]
    • Taurus men need to build a foundation of trust and emotional security before they commit to a romantic partner.
    • “They need to know that you’re loyal,” explains astrologer Angel Eyedealism, but “they’re not that trusting because they share the opposite passageway with Scorpio.”
  3. Tauruses need stability, so they’ll gravitate towards partners that know what they want, don’t change their minds often, and don’t cancel plans unless they have to.
    • Taurus doesn’t like to chase their partners because, as tarot card reader Stina Garbis puts it, “Taurus is a lazy sign…you have to somehow make it easy for them to be with you.”
    • Garbis suggests “finding reasons to bring them things or being helpful in some way to where they will need or want your help again.”
  4. Taurus men are notoriously stubborn, so they can be difficult to communicate with. They don’t like change, and they can hold grudges for a long time. [12] Work on making compromises with your Taurus man and working together to come to a mutual agreement.
    • By showing your guy that you’re willing to meet him halfway, he’s more likely to see you as someone who respects and understands his needs.
    • Taurus men also really value active listening . Since it’s hard for them to open up and trust people, giving him your full attention and putting away any tech distractions will go a long way.
  5. Stick to a budget and avoid throwing money around on impractical or flashy purchases. Taurus men need both emotional and financial stability to be happy and commit to a partner.
    • If you show Taurus that you “share his views on economics, money, stability, or buying a house, he’s more likely to fall in love with you,” asserts astrologist Angel Eyedealism.
  6. Taurus men love honesty, and they don’t like to waste time on small talk. To get a Taurus man to fall head over heels for you, be honest and straightforward, and don’t play any games. [13]
    • As well as being honest about your desire to commit to him, avoid beating around the bush on any issue or sugarcoating any negative emotions you’re having.
  7. Even if you’ve laid your cards on the table when it comes to your romantic feelings, avoid putting any pressure on your Taurus man to do the same. He lives life at a slow and steady pace, especially when it comes to relationships, so don’t take it personally if he needs time to consider how he feels about you. [14]
    • Allow him to come to you in his own time. He’s most likely just scared of moving too fast and rushing into something he’s not sure about.
    • If you’re ready for a committed relationship and he’s not, however, it’s okay to move on! It may be bad timing, or he may not be the guy for you!

  1. This attribute can make them seem uninterested or detached, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. A Taurus man just really values stability and security and needs to build a foundation of trust before committing to and opening up to you. [15]
    • Some people think that Taurus men have commitment issues, but, in general, they really take commitment seriously and want to get to know you on a deeper level first.
    • However, if you’ve been dating a Taurus man for a few months and he doesn’t seem any closer to commitment, this may be a sign that he’s playing you or is genuinely not that interested.
    • Look for these types of red flags in Taurus men, like being hot and cold or inconsistent with giving you attention, refusing to be exclusive, or not introducing you to any of his close friends or family.
  2. They value stability and traditional values. Astrologer Angel Eyedealism gives the example that a Taurus man loves if his partner cooks for them, “even if you’re not a good cook but really put in the effort to make a meal from scratch…[Taurus men] will really appreciate the heartfelt efforts of a handmade gift.”
    • Further explaining Taurus’ tendency toward conservative and traditional values, Eyedealism described how a Taurus man may “like to know that you went to a good accredited school…or that you won’t embarrass them in public.”
    • Or, if you “showed up on a date with a Taurus man and wore some wild outfit,” Eyedealism continues, “they'd be like, ‘Oh, I’m canceling.’”
  3. Due to their “fixed Earth natures,” explains tarot card reader Stina Garbis, Taurus people “tend to be loyal, materialistic, stable, financially secure, honest, and sometimes stubborn.”
    • These qualities apply to every aspect of a Taurus’ life, including their romantic relationships.
    • Because Venus rules Taurus, Garbis continues, Tauruses also “enjoy luxury, the best of everything, and having luxurious houses filled with velvet and satin and lots of pillows and fine art.”
