How Does a Taurus Man Test You?

How does a Taurus man test you to see if you’re ready for a relationship with him?

He wants to make sure that you are an honest, trustworthy person. He also wants to make sure you’re loyal.

He’ll ask about past relationships. He’ll ask questions he already knows the answer to because he wants to see if you answer honestly.

He also wants an independent partner. He doesn’t want you to be entirely reliant on him. He’ll do things to see how self-sufficient you are. He’ll see how you handle yourself when he’s not around.

See If You’re Supportive

If a Taurus man is overwhelmed with stress, he needs a partner who can help calm him down and who will be there for him. A partner who can’t be supportive isn’t going to be his partner for very long.

Taurus will test how supportive you can be. He might come to you about a relatively minor problem and see how you react.

He’ll start coming to you with problems to see what you do. Do you try to offer advice? Are you compassionate? Do you tell him to “just get over it”?

Eventually, it will stop being a test (if you pass). Once he sees that you are capable of being supportive, he’ll start genuinely coming to you when he needs help and compassion.

Test Your Honesty

A Taurus man plays the waiting game with relationships partially because he wants to be sure he can trust somebody before he starts a relationship with them.

He’ll ask you questions he already knows the answer to, just to see if you tell the truth. If he saw on social media that you were at a party your ex was at last night, he’s going to see if you’ll tell him that’s where you were.

He’ll wear something hideous and ask what you think. This seems silly but he wants to see if you’ll tell him the truth!

Will you just lie or will you say what you really think? Will you soften the blow or be as blunt as possible?

Most of the time, he doesn’t want to catch you in a lie.

If he asks what you did last night and you just say you were at a party at a specific person’s house, he’s not going to suddenly accuse you of lying because you didn’t say your ex was there.

He’ll do other things to see if you lie or if you just admit the truth.

Learn Your Strengths

Taurus wants to know what makes you tick. He wants to see what your strengths and weaknesses are.

When he finds those strengths, he’s going to test them too. This is especially true if they are self-professed strengths.

If you say you consider yourself to be a compassionate person, you better actually be compassionate.

If you say you’re tidy and good around the house, let’s hope you’re telling the truth. He’ll test that one out!

He’ll also pay attention to see if your strengths play well off his own. He doesn’t want your relationship to be a competition. He also likes it when somebody’s strengths make up for his weaknesses and vice versa.

Test Your Devotion

Taurus will do things to test your loyalty and devotion to him. He wants to make sure he can rely on you to be there for him if he’s going to commit to you long-term.

He might just do small things. He’ll make plans with you just to see if you follow through with them. He’ll have you make minor promises and see if you keep them.

He might also do more intense things to test your devotion. He might have a friend of his hit on you to see how you react. He may even have friends look around for you on dating sites to see if you’re still active on them.

He’ll see how you handle things when he’s not at his best. Do you stick around when he’s in a terrible mood? If he lost his job or went broke, would you still be with him?

Your Independence

If a Taurus man stops texting suddenly, it might be a test of your independence. He likes talking to you but he wants to see how you do when he’s not around 24/7.

Taurus likes it when his partners are self-sufficient. He wants somebody independent. He wants you to be able to take care of yourself and not rely on him for everything.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he’ll never be there for you when you do need him. He just doesn’t want you to need him all the time.

There are going to be times in your relationship where he’s just not able to be there for you. There are going to be times where you need to be there for him. Are you going to be able to handle that?

He’ll do minor things like see how you handle being by yourself at a party he brought you to. He’ll also do major things like ignore you for a few days just to see how you react.

This magic will make your Taurus man want a relationship with you. →

Ask About Past Relationships

how does a Taurus man test a woman to see if she’d be a good partner for him? One way is by learning about her past relationships.

He won’t necessarily grill you all at once but he’ll throw in questions and comments here and there to figure out what your past relationships were like.

If you talk candidly about your past relationships and why they ended, that shows him that you’re honest and that you’re willing to admit to past mistakes.

If you refuse to tell him why a relationship ended or to talk about certain exes, that might make him suspicious. If you just don’t like talking about a specific relationship for some reason, be honest with him about why.

He’ll ask your friends about your past relationships as well. He’ll look on social media to see what he can figure out.

Ask You to Make a Decision

Taurus will test you by asking you to make a decision. What a Taurus man wants to hear isn’t necessarily a specific decision. He wants to know if you can make a decision by yourself.

Taurus isn’t the best at making decisions by himself. He sometimes takes a while to arrive at a decision.

He might want a partner who is faster at decision-making than he is. He might also want a partner who is careful in her decision-making.

He doesn’t want you to turn the question around on him and ask what he wants instead. He wants you to make the decision. The test isn’t necessarily what you pick. It’s seeing if you’ll pick something at all.

Refuses to Help

This is one specific way Taurus tests your independence. If you ask him for help a lot, he might start refusing. He wants to see if you’re able to handle things by yourself.

He also wants to make sure you’re not using him. He’s likely been in relationships before where the other person was just using him because he tends to be a helpful, generous person.

If he suddenly starts turning down your requests for help, it might be a test. Try not to worry or get angry.

Ask somebody else for help or do the task yourself. Show him that you don’t need him and you’ll pass this test.

Tests You with Money

A Taurus man is observing you and seeing how you react whenever money is brought up.

A wealthy Taurus man wants to make sure that his partner is with him for him, not his money. Taurus can be very generous with people he cares about. He doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.

He might give you a handmade or inexpensive gift for your birthday or another holiday. He wants to see how you react. Do you appreciate the gift or are you angry he got you something “cheap”?

He often offers to pay during dates but he might also ask to split the check. It isn’t really about the money most of the time. He’s just seeing if you’ll gladly pay your half or if you’ll fight about it.

He’ll Be Distant

If a Taurus man acts interested then disappears, that might not be a sign that he’s done with you. It could be a test. A Taurus man needs time to think before he starts a new relationship, so he might also just need some alone time.

A Taurus man’s disappearing act during the “courting” period before a relationship can be extremely frustrating. He’ll hang out with you and talk to you every day and then ghost suddenly. Why? He wants to see how you’ll react.

Are you capable of giving him space when he needs it? How independent are you? Can you figure things out on your own if he isn’t there to answer a question or help you with something?

If you want to figure out how to know when a Taurus man is done with you, pay attention to what he does after this “ghosting” period of his.

If he comes back for a short period of time only to ghost again, he’s probably done. Whatever test he was giving you, you failed it.
