Taurus men don’t rush into love. They move slowly, not because they’re unsure, but because they’re careful about who they let into their world. Before they give their heart, they watch, they feel you out, and yes, they test you. Not in a manipulative way, but to see if you’re someone they can trust, commit to, and build something real with.
Here’s how he might be testing you and what to do about it.
1. He Pushes You With His Stubbornness
Taurus is a fixed Earth sign. Once he decides something, moving him is like trying to push a mountain. And sometimes, whether he admits it or not, he’ll stand his ground just to see what you do with it. Will you explode? Go silent? Beg for harmony? Or will you hold your own without turning it into a battlefield?
He’s not looking for someone who agrees with everything he says, and he’s not drawn to constant conflict either. What earns his respect is someone who stays steady. A woman who can say, “I hear you, but here’s where I stand,” without attacking or shrinking herself. Someone who doesn’t try to remake him, but also doesn’t disappear to keep the peace.
2. He Tests Your Patience (A Lot)
He won’t rush into love. For him to open up emotionally, physically, or even make future plans, he needs to feel completely safe. That’s why he takes his time. He might delay replying, avoid defining the relationship too early, or hold back emotionally, even if he genuinely likes you.
It’s not a game. He’s paying attention to how you respond to patience.
If you push, question his feelings every day, or try to speed things up, he pulls away. But if you give him room to breathe, keep living your life, and stay steady without chasing, he starts to trust you. That’s when his guard drops. The moment he feels you’re patient, loyal, and not going anywhere, he begins to let you in for real.
3. He Pays Attention to How You Handle Money
Security matters to a Taurus more than anything.. not luxury, but stability. He usually pays attention to how you handle money. Do you work hard? Pay your bills? Save when it’s necessary? Or do you create chaos and hope someone else will fix it?
He doesn’t expect you to be rich. He simply wants someone who can stand on her own two feet, someone he can build a life with, not someone he has to rescue.
4. He Notices Your Relationship With Food and Pleasure
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of pleasure, comfort, and the senses. For him, food isn’t just food. It’s care, affection, and a quiet love language. Without even realizing it, he might test you through it.
Maybe he cooks for you, maybe he brings you to his favorite restaurant and orders half the menu. He’s not checking how “perfectly” you eat… he’s watching whether you can relax, savor, and enjoy the moment with him.
If you spend the whole time worrying about calories, picking at your plate, or refusing to try anything, he’ll start to feel a disconnect. But if you appreciate what he prepared, try new flavors, or simply enjoy the meal without judgment, he feels seen, safe, and understood.
5. He Watches If You’re Loyal and Reliable
For this man, love is loyalty. If he opens up about something personal, such as work stress, family issues or fears, he’s silently testing whether you’ll listen or dismiss him. If you hold his secrets with care, he trusts you more.
He also notices the little things. Do you cancel plans last minute? Forget promises? Flirt with others to make him jealous? Or do you show up when you say you will and treat his time with respect?
He doesn’t need perfection. He needs consistency. Someone who stays when things get boring, not just when things are exciting.
How Do You Pass His Tests?
A Taurus man tests a woman by observing how she handles his stubbornness, whether she’s patient with his slow pace, how she treats money and stability, how she enjoys food and comfort, and if she’s truly loyal and reliable. These are the real signs a Taurus man is testing you.
To pass his test, stay grounded. Respect yourself and him. Give him space instead of pressure. Enjoy life’s simple pleasures with him, good meals, deep talks, slow days. Be honest, be loyal, and be patient. If he sees you won’t break under silence, slowness, or uncertainty, he’ll start to move closer.
Because once a Taurus man trusts you, really trusts you, he commits with his whole heart. And once he chooses you, he stays.
