You’ve started seeing this new guy, but he’s taking things very slow, isn’t he? I’m willing to bet he’s a Taurus. Those stubborn bulls have their own ways of figuring out if you’re into them or not, and you’d better be ready! He’s not going to make the first move until he’s sure you’re serious, so you need to pass his tests.
He Wants To See How You Handle His Stubbornness
Taurus men can be notoriously stubborn. They have a “my way or the highway” attitude and like things done on their terms. To test if you can handle this side of him, he may dig his heels in during a disagreement just to see how you react.
Losing your cool won’t win you any points here. Remain composed and reiterate your perspective without getting emotional. Let him know you’re willing to compromise, but you won’t be steamrolled. If he sees you can stay strong in the face of his obstinance, it will make you that much more appealing.
To pass his test, show him you’re not trying to change who he is. But also show him you respect yourself, too. Let him know you respect him and his stubbornness, you just also want respect for yourself.
He Tests Your Patience
With patience in short supply these days, the Taurus man wants to see if you have what it takes. He can be frustratingly slow to make a move or share his feelings. Rather than pressure him, give him space and remain open to connecting when he’s ready. If you start to feel impatient, distract yourself by pursuing your own interests or spending time with friends. Let him come to you.
The Taurus man does everything in his own time, from committing to a relationship to planning dates. His pace may feel glacial, but it’s not a reflection of you or his interest. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, so he’s in it for the long haul once committed. Learn to embrace his unhurried nature. Trying to speed him up will likely backfire.
If you want to pass his test, just take it easy. Don’t pressure him or rush things, let him come to you. And don’t blow up his phone with texts, either. I know you want to know when the next date is, but slow down. He’ll ask you out again when he’s ready. Just relax and have faith – if you play it cool, he’ll start to fall for you before you know it.
He Observes How You Manage Your Finances
Taurus men place a high value on financial security and stability. He’ll be watching to see how prudent and practical you are with money. If you’re someone who budgets well, pays bills on time, and lives within your means, that will impress him. However, if he notices you make impulsive purchases, accumulate debt easily, or don’t seem to have clear financial goals, that may make him question your compatibility.
Being responsible with money is really attractive to a Taurus guy. He wants a partner who appreciates the value of a dollar and works hard to achieve financial freedom and security. If you can show him you budget properly and save where you can, he’ll see you as someone who he could build wealth and stability with in the long run.
How do you win him over? Tell him about your life goals. Show him how stable and thoughtful you are when it comes to money. Tell him about your career plans. He wants to know you’re someone worth being in a relationship with.
He Checks If You Can Keep Up With His Love of Food
Food is definitely the way to a Taurus man’s heart and also one of the tools he’ll use to see how you roll. He’ll want to see if you’re also into good eats, so don’t be surprised if one of your first dates involves a fancy meal at his favorite restaurant. Expect him to order just about everything on the menu to share – he wants to savor every bite!
And if he enjoys cooking, he’ll jump at any chance to whip up an amazing home-cooked meal for you. Let him treat you and give him props for his cooking skills. Dig in and ask for seconds to show your enthusiasm. He’ll love that an earthy sign like himself has found someone with an appetite. For Taurus, sharing delicious food with someone special is one of life’s great pleasures.
When you’re with him, here’s the move: if he cooks, thank him and tell him how good it is. And if he takes you out, choose what you really like to eat and enjoy the dinner. Don’t start going on about what’s healthy or fatty – just show him you love food as much as he does.
He Evaluates Your Loyalty And Dependability
A Taurus man values stability and reliability in his relationships. He wants to know you’ll be there for him through good times and bad. To test this, he may share details about his life or work problems to see how you react and support him. Do you listen without judgment? Offer empathy and advice? A Taurus man is looking for a loyal partner who has his back.
He’ll also check how dependable you are in small ways. Do you call when you say you will? Show up on time for your dates? Follow through on promises and commitments? For a Taurus man, actions speak louder than words. He wants to build something long-lasting with someone he can count on.
Don’t be surprised if he checks in on you more at first while you’re just starting to date. He needs to make sure you’re consistent, and your interest stays high.
How To Pass His Test
- Don’t be too critical of what foods he likes. Try showing interest in what he enjoys eating rather than judging.
- Let him see that you’ve got ambitions and things you’re working towards in life. Have goals of your own.
- Be someone he can truly rely on. If you say you’ll do something, follow through – show him your word means something.
- Even if you disagree on something, respect where he’s coming from. Hear his perspective out without trying to change it right away.
- And relax a little! Give him space when he needs it. Moving slowly in a relationship is healthier than coming on too strong, too fast.
