What’s It Really Like To Date A Taurus? Vogue’s Astrologer Sets The Record Straight (2024)

Tauruses are ruled by the planet Venus, so they are naturally romantic and sensual when dating. At first, you might be fooled because a Taurus usually comes across as cool and collected. However, they are usually quietly persistent once they have their sights set on someone new, and they tend to get a bit obsessed with the people they date. They also aren’t super expressive about their feelings, and it may take some time for them to open up. Overall though, a Taurus makes an amazing partner because they put a lot of effort into treating their significant other to nice dinners, shopping sprees and holidays. They appreciate the small joys in life, so they want to be able to share these experiences with someone they love.

Who is a Taurus most compatible with?

Scorpio is the sign opposite to Taurus, so there may be an instant attraction between these two. Scorpios need depth and intimacy right off the bat when dating someone, so they are able to help Tauruses open up about their feelings. Tauruses are also rocks of support for Scorpios, and they are able to reassure Scorpios that they aren’t going anywhere. Because both of these signs tend to be pretty possessive, once they get together it will be hard to break this pair up.

Similarly, Pisces is another good match for Taurus. Pisceans are very sensitive and can often get overwhelmed by their emotions. A Taurus will appreciate their caring nature, and can help them remain calm and grounded. Tauruses can also be stubborn at times, but fortunately Pisceans like to go with the flow and will stay open to what a Taurus wants to do.

Aquarius is a sign that is very different from Taurus, but somehow these two always end up being drawn to one another. Tauruses crave security and stability, while Aquarians need independence and periodic changes. However, a Taurus is able to bring an Aquarius back down to earth, and they can help them focus on the practical everyday tasks in front of them. Meanwhile, an Aquarius can help a Taurus to open their mind to different possibilities and see their full potential. Tauruses are also able to remain patient and not get worked up when an Aquarius feels anxious or wants something to happen immediately.

Why can Tauruses be so hard to date?

Once a Taurus has made up their mind about something, it’s very hard to sway their opinion. For instance, if they want to stay in for the night and keep to themselves, there is no point in arguing with them. It can be a little frustrating if they aren’t open to different points of view, or if they’re unwilling to try out a new experience. A Taurus can also be slow to initiate when dating, so it may take a while for them to work up to a first kiss or make the relationship official. They need more time to process their feelings for someone.

What’s it like dating a Taurus?

Tauruses appreciate the finer things in life, so they will not be skimping on date night. They’re big foodies, so they may have a list of quality restaurants they love to frequent, or they may even want to cook for you themselves. In addition, Tauruses like to shop, so this might be a weekend activity they enjoy doing with their partner. Tauruses are also pretty introverted, so it’s more likely that they prefer nights in over socialising in huge group settings. Overall, Tauruses are very patient, and they’re able to handle any relationship conflict that comes up in a calm and controlled manner.

What signs should a Taurus avoid?

Sagittarius and Taurus may not be the most compatible. Sagittarians are super outgoing, very opinionated, and like to constantly push themselves out of their comfort zone. They may not understand a Taurus’s desire to stay in and relax, while Tauruses may see Sagittarians as being too blunt or loud. These two may struggle to get on the same page as to what activities they like to do together, and they may both have a hard time compromising.

Virgo is a fellow earth sign like Taurus, so they do share some common ground in that they are both ambitious and goal oriented. However, a Taurus won’t enjoy a Virgo’s nitpicking and critical remarks, and they may get irritated with a Virgo’s need to fill their time with productive tasks. Meanwhile, a Virgo may find Tauruses to be a bit lazy or slow.

What is a Taurus like when they’re in love?

The build up in a relationship is typically slow but steady with a Taurus. Even if it takes them a while to say I love you or further commit, when a Taurus is all in, they mean it. They may like to take care of their partner by cooking meals or by being of service in other little ways. Tauruses are also big on physical contact, so they may always be looking for opportunities to cuddle or get closer to their partner. Beyond that, they may like to make a big deal out of anniversaries or birthdays, as they like to treat their partner to extravagant experiences.
