10 Things That Make a Taurus Man Complicated

A Taurus man testing you may cause you frustration as he tries to keep rigid boundaries. At the same time, he may become jealous of any man you talk to.

You may wonder why he doesn’t step up to the plate if he’s really interested, but a Taurus man is full of contradictions. This is part of what makes him complicated.

A Taurus man’s early dating style can be quite different from the personality he shows after you’ve gotten to know him for a while. He’s a complex man and you need to understand his personality.

1. He’s Romantic but Cold

If you want to know how to comfort a Taurus man, you’ve got to understand that he can be a die-hard romantic and also cold as ice. He loves being nurtured but not smothered. He needs to feel like he has space in a relationship.

You may spend a sensual, romantic weekend in a cabin with a Taurus man, but then for the rest of the week he’ll act like he doesn’t know you. This doesn’t mean he’s mad or that he’s lost interest in you.

It’s simply an indicator that a Taurus man can be reclusive just as much as he can be romantic. He needs space, even when he loves you. He will be the most affectionate guy you’ve ever met, but only in small doses.

For every time he goes overboard and indulges in displays of romance and affection, a Taurus man will also need just as much time secluded in his own world. He won’t even answer your call when he’s in this mode.

2. He’s Jealous but Distant

When a Taurus man misses you, he’ll come around and pursue you. But when you miss him or need him, he may be nowhere to be seen. Taurus men can be demanding when they want attention or affection, but they aren’t good at reciprocating.

This is because Taurus men have very rigid boundaries. When he wants something, it’s all he can think about. Yet when you need or want something from him, like time, attention or affection, if it clashes with his plans, he will not respond.

He’ll also become jealous of your relationship with other guys, even your male friends. At the same time, he may not pay much attention to you. Yet if any other guy does show you attention, he’ll become upset.

3. He’s Flirty but Noncommittal

A Taurus man’s slow courting style is one of his trademarks. He is notorious for being flirty but not stepping up to actually commit. You may feel you’ve met your soulmate when you talk to your Taurus man.

He knows all the right things to say. He knows how to make you feel like a Queen. When you spend time with him, you may feel like he’s as madly in love with you as you are with him.

Yet when you expect him to take the next steps and make a commitment in the relationship, you’ll be unpleasantly surprised. He will stall out and get cold feet. He’ll back down and back pedal, telling you that he’s not ready for a serious relationship.

This can be confusing and heartbreaking because only a few moments ago, he was flirting with you in a way that makes you think he was chasing you out of romantic interest. But flirting can be like a sport to a Taurus man. It doesn’t always mean anything serious.

4. He’s Sensual but Unemotional

If you’re wondering what to wear for a Taurus man, remember he is sensual. Soft fabrics, earth tones and romantic outfits that show off your best attributes will appeal to his sense of romance and attraction.

You may be doing all the right things to attract a Taurus man, but he won’t open his heart and express his deeper feelings for you. That is because Taurus men go out of their way to avoid dealing with or talking about emotions.

You may wonder how he can be so sensual and romantic, exciting and passionate and yet stop short of showing vulnerability. But if you understand his personality, it will all make sense. Taurus men are primarily practical, not emotional.

5. He’s Intelligent but Narrow-Minded

How do you know if a Taurus man is falling for you? He doesn’t make it easy because he is subtle and hides his emotions. Yet if you know how to read between the lines, you’ll see his love signals.

Taurus men are intelligent, well read and cultured, but they are narrow minded in a way. This is not to say they are bigoted, but rather Taurus men tend to have tunnel vision.

They get fixated on an idea and can’t easily adapt or put themselves in other people’s shoes. Taurus men expect others to accept their ideas and don’t easily show empathy or flexibility for other people.

It can surprise you when a Taurus man gets focused on an argument and won’t back down. You may feel like he’s not being rational. Yet often, the truth is, he’s rational and intelligent but is thinking in concrete terms and unable to open his mind.

6. He’s Sophisticated but Frugal

Another way a Taurus man may surprise you is when you realize that he is a frugal man who projects an image of being a big spender. He has expensive tastes and loves luxury but he knows not to pay full price for anything.

If you know how to make a Taurus man miss you, you can get him to splurge on gifts or dates to get your attention. But a Taurus man, though he can be cultured and sophisticated, also loves bargain hunting.

Taurus men love to look like they are more wealthy than they actually are. They know how to find the best deals so they don’t break the bank to look high class. You can get his attention by flaunting your own sophisticated style. Just don’t run up debt doing so.

7. He’s Hard Working and Lazy

If you want to know how to spoil a Taurus man, pamper him. He loves to enjoy luxuries and physical attention such as massage or comfortable clothing. Even a romantic bubble bath will appeal to him.

Taurus men love to feel pampered and doted on, and they can be quite hard working. Yet Taurus men are also complacent and lackadaisical. They have a reputation for being hardworking and lazy.

This is because they will take the easy road whenever possible. They can put elbow grease into accomplishing a goal, but it has to be something they really love to do and feel energized by. Otherwise, they’ll procrastinate.

8. He Doesn’t Communicate

A Taurus man is complicated because he expects others to be able to read his mind. He will become upset if you don’t anticipate what he needs, yet he won’t openly communicate about what he wants. He’ll sulk or become angry if you don’t acquiesce to his desires.

Yet a Taurus man is not big on communication. It’s not one of his strong points. He gets stuck in his own mind and assumes everyone else has the same perspective he has. When he does communicate, he often leaves out key aspects of information because of this assumption.

Taurus men will often say the bare minimum and expect you to figure out the rest. He will even go as far as to become frustrated with you when you don’t automatically understand his sparse communication.

9. He’s Concrete

Taurus men are concrete thinkers and this can complicate his life. He doesn’t understand nuances. He sees the world as black and white, good or bad. There is no grey area for a Taurus man.

When you need him to understand something complex, paradoxical or nuanced, a Taurus man may become irritated with you and will accuse you of playing mind games or gaslighting him.

The irony is that although Taurus men are filled with ironies and paradox, he has a difficult time accepting that things aren’t always rational, logical and concrete in the world around him. He expects life to be methodical and consistent.

It’s hard for a Taurus man to expand his mind. He has a hard time being flexible. When he sees something as good or useful, he will refuse to criticize it even if it means he doesn’t grow because he’s keeping himself stuck.

10. He’s High Maintenance

Taurus men are high maintenance, but they will never admit it. They see themselves as practical and low key. Even though Taurus men can be down to earth, they also can be demanding.

Taurus men need attention, praise, and love to be seen as affluent, successful and popular. Yet they try to play it off as if none of these things are important to them.

Taurus men can also be demanding in relationships and may need lots of encouragement and reassurance in order to feel secure in a relationship. He may not overtly ask for much, but he expects a lot from his romantic partner.
