A Taurus man's best traits
Tauruses have so many great personality traits. They're loyal, dependable, level-headed, and they have a taste for ~the finer things in life~, meaning your Taurus man will spoil you with the best restaurants (or make you a delicious meal at home), the silkiest sheets, and the bubbliest Champagne. They're natural romantics!
A Taurus man's worst Traits
Taurus is notorious for their stubbornness. Hopefully you don't care about winning an argument, because your Taurus will never back down. Also, while Taurus's dependability and homebody nature can be a positive, certain signs (looking at you, Sagittarius) might find Taurus's practical side a bit...boring...and prefer a more spontaneous, adventurous sign.
The best matches for a Taurus man
Taurus and Virgo
Fellow earth sign Virgo will love Taurus for how dependable, practical, and hardworking he is, and his prowess in the bedroom is a major plus! Both signs value physical sensations and real-world displays of affection.
Taurus and Capricorn
Another fellow earth sign, Capricorn and Taurus will have an amazing time in bed together, but they'll also happily plan and follow through on an action-packed camping trip or weekend getaway. They just ~get~ each other, y'know?
Taurus and Cancer
Earth signs and water signs are different, but they mesh well — think watering a garden. Both Taurus and Cancer tend to be homebodies, and they value comfort and luxury. A Netflix and chill night with surround sound and silk sheets sounds like the perfect date for both these signs!
Taurus and Libra
Like Taurus, Libra is ruled by Venus, so these two share an appreciation for the finer things in life, and they also have a major romantic streak. These two are always down for a date night at a fancy restaurant or a cocktail-making class.
Taurus and Scorpio
On the other hand, Scorpio is Taurus's opposite on the zodiac. But you know what they say about opposites — they attract! Although these two have very different personalities, they're both grounded, loyal, and give their all to their loved ones.
Taurus and (another) Taurus
Finally, who's a better match for a Taurus than another Taurus? Two bulls are better than one!
The Worst Matches for a Taurus Man
Taurus and Leo
Leo thrives in the spotlight and can be just a tiny bit over-the-top, which can annoy level-headed Taurus. Like Taurus, Leo is a fixed sign, meaning they're both stubborn as hell and bound to lock horns.
Taurus and Aquarius
On the other hand, cool Aquarius can seem a little aloof. Aquarius is yet another fixed sign, meaning that it's likely these two will butt heads.
That said, with a little compromise and appreciation for the other’s style and personality, any relationship has the potential to grow stronger over time. And remember, your Sun sign is only one part of your birth chart. If your Sun signs aren’t particularly compatible, your Moon, Mars, or Venus sign might be!
Sex with a Taurus man
As an earth sign, Taurus is all about sensuality. Think candles, high-thread-count sheets, and lots of foreplay. They're known for their stamina, so be prepared for a Round 2 — or 3, or even 4. Btw, they also love the great outdoors, so expect that camping trip to get ~sexy~.
Tauruses are notoriously romantic, so go ahead, put on that mood music and cover your bedroom in rose petals. They also have an appreciation for high art, aka your best lingerie and hottest nude photos.
As one of the signs most closely associated with stability and security, Taurus doesn't feel a need to try every sex position in 1001 Sex Positions to Try. They likely have a few favourites that they love to do over and over again...and they're like, really good at them. This isn't to say that your Taurus partner is close-minded, but if you want to try something new in bed, you'll likely need to be the one to bring it up.
A Taurus man in love
While Taurus isn't noncommittal, they do tend to have a "slow and steady" approach to dating. Your Taurus man might have preferred to go on just one date a week for the first month or two of dating, but once you've said "I love you," he wants to see you all the time. He's a romantic, so he might bake you cookies out of nowhere or surprise you with flowers. Just one thing: Taurus can be a bit of a homebody, so if you prefer going out to staying in, you're probs going to be the need to be the one to suggest where to go for date night.
The perfect date with a Taurus man
Plan your date to ~engage the senses~. Take your Taurus out to a delicious dinner at a well-known restaurant — or cook for them yourself (but only if you're actually great at cooking — if not, order Deliveroo from a place with excellent reviews). Or romance them at an art gallery or museum — even better if they have some wine to sip as they gaze at the paintings. Concerts, cocktail bars, full-body massages...if it delights their eyes, ears, taste buds, etc., they'll be head over heels for you.
A Taurus man at home
Along with Cancer, Taurus is *the* homebody of the zodiac, so you know that their pad is comfy! They have the softest sheets you've ever felt, the fluffiest pillows you've ever slept on, and a couch so perfect you could sit there for days. Don't expect any over-the-top centrepieces: a Taurus values practicality over all else. Think "cute and cozy," not "straight out of Architectural Digest." Oh, and their kitchen tools are probably on point.
A Taurus man at work
A Taurus is the most reliable coworker you'll ever have. They're dependable, hard-working, and they tell it like it is. They're more likely to take a behind-the-scenes role than something that requires a lot of public speaking or media appearances...but don't get me wrong, the whole company would fall apart without their work ethic and brilliant mind. They're excellent at keeping a level head in times of crisis, and they always know the best place to go for a work lunch on the company card. The only catch: Their notorious stubbornness. If you work with a Taurus, be careful how you disagree with them!
A Taurus man with friends
As earth signs, Tauruses tend to have a close circle of trusted friends rather than a full contact list of casual acquaintances. They're loyal AF, so they might have friends they've known for their whole lives (and they have the adorable nursey photos to prove it, so make sure you ask to see them!). Tauruses often don't make new friends easily, but once you've made it into a Taurus's inner circle, you're in for life (as long as you don't cross them).
A gift for a Taurus man
Shopping for an anniversary or b-day gift for your Taurus cutie? Think carefully! Tauruses appreciate ~the finer things in life~, and some people even think of them as materialistic. Look, they are ruled by Venus, but you don't need to drop a whole monthly salary on their b-day gift. Just put some thought into what you buy 'em. Tauruses are the type to appreciate something small but high-quality over a flashy, Instagram-ready gift. Choose a single luxury candle over a gift bag full of cheap trinkets. Skip the flashy gold b-day balloons and write them a heartfelt note in a card. You get the picture.
