Are you wondering how to win the heart of a special Taurus man? We can help with that! Men born under this sign are loyal and affectionate, so they make wonderful partners. That said, Tauruses can be shy and reserved at first, so it can be harder to create an emotional connection with them. 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."

3

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."

Be level-headed and low-key.

This sign wants to feel comfortable and stable all the time. Your man won’t deal with abrupt mood swings or unnecessary drama well. Try to keep an even keel in every situation and navigate any surprises with calmness. Your man will appreciate your stabilizing force. ^{[4]

Stick to a consistent routine.

Taurus men crave stability and follow a strict schedule. The need to feel stable and grounded is a big part of the Taurus personality. Disrupting your man's routine can really upset him, so try to get in sync with his daily schedule. ^{[5]

- For example, try to wake up and go to sleep at about the same time.
- Create simple daily rituals, like eating dinner at the same time every evening and going on long after-dinner walks, to help your man feel stable and safe.

Enjoy the great outdoors together.

This sign loves outdoor activities and spending time in nature. Taurus is an earth sign, which means these folks have a deep, spiritual connection with Mother Nature. Spending time together outdoors is a great way to bond with them. ^{[6]

Go easy with criticism.

Download Article

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]

- For example, instead of saying, "Alex, you're totally doing that wrong," you might say, "That project looks complicated! You probably don't need my help, but let me know if there's anything I can do."
- Instead of saying, "I can't believe you're late for dinner yet again," try something like, "Is everything okay at work? Your boss has been asking you to stay late every day this week."

8

Be patient and give him time to open up.

Download Article

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]

- Try sharing some of your personal thoughts or goals with him first. He'll be impressed that you feel comfortable enough to let him in, and you might just inspire him to do the same.

Indulge him in the bedroom.

Sex makes him feel vulnerable (something he hates), so take things slow and follow his lead until he gets comfortable with you. Once he feels safe to be himself, your sex life will become quite powerful. You’ll never walk away from this man unsatisfied! ^{[9]

Create a cozy home environment.

Tauruses crave comfort, warmth, and stability at home. The theme of stability and the need to feel grounded applies to a Taurus' living space, too. Tauruses are home bodies and they want their space to be full of comfortable furniture, warm lighting, and quiet nooks so they can relax. ^{[10]

- If you live together, shop for home goods as a couple and encourage him to buy the cozy items that grab his attention. Nesting activities mean a lot to him.
- Fun fact: Tauruses are foodies! They love tasty home cooked meals. Experiment with some yummy recipes when you're at home and he'll adore you for it. ^{[11]

Dress to impress.

Tauruses worship beauty and adore snappy dressers. Your man wants you to dress as stylishly as he does so you’ll make a perfectly matched and attractive pair. Not taking the time to dress stylishly or groom yourself neatly can be a real turn-off for this sign. ^{[12]

- You don’t have to look perfect all the time, of course! Take care of yourself, put on a cute outfit, and you’ll be good to go.
