How to Get a Taurus Man to Respond to Your Text

A Taurus man’s texting style can leave a lot to be desired. He is not the best communicator. If there is one thing a Taurus man is good at, it’s avoiding talking about his feelings.

When a Taurus man is trying to dodge your questions or sidestep making a commitment, he may become erratic and inconsistent with his text messages.

A Taurus man who is interested in you will usually get back to you right away, even if he texts briefly. You’ll have to know how to text to get his attention.

Text Rarely

A Taurus man testing you may slow down suddenly. He does this for a few reasons. One is to gauge your reaction. But another reason a Taurus man suddenly slows down is because he’s simply slow moving when it comes to any changes or relationship moves.

The best way to get a Taurus man to step up to the plate and respond to you is to make your presence a luxury in his world. Don’t text him too frequently. Make it seem like a treat for your Taurus man to hear from you.

This may go against your instincts as you’ll want to chase him when he shuts down. Yet a Taurus man who rarely hears from you will not take your text messages for granted. Instead he will learn to respond right away.

His next step will be to initiate contact more often. But in the meantime, he will be more responsive to you when he sees that he has to work for your attention. Don’t make yourself too available.

Send Practical Advice

A Taurus man’s communication style can be practical and as such he’s more receptive to you when you reach out to him to share practical advice. Taurus men don’t like being told what to do. Yet they do appreciate learning about resources from people they respect.

When you text a Taurus man with useful, actionable advice, he’ll appreciate you. He’ll know you aren’t wasting his time. He will be more likely to respond because he’ll see your communication as a gift to him rather than a demand on his time.

When a Taurus man sees that you don’t reach out to him unless you have something helpful and practical to offer, he’ll appreciate your wisdom and generosity with your time. He will see you as being helpful to him and will trust your advice.

Be sure to use this tactic sparingly. If every time you text him, you’re offering advice, he will come to think you are being intrusive. Going overboard with this strategy can backfire.

Ask for Help

On the list of things to say to a Taurus man, you can prioritize giving advice, complimenting him and occasionally asking him for help. When asking a Taurus man for help, it is important to not come across as being needy.

When you want to try to get a Taurus man to respond to your text, treat him like an expert. Show him you respect his intelligence and advice, but also don’t take advantage of him. Ask him for help with a computer problem or a recipe.

Ask how he solves a practical problem. Seek advice related to career, budgeting or investing. When you use this tactic strategically without overdoing it, you can let a Taurus man know that you see him as an expert, you’ll flatter him and get him to respond.

Don’t Overwhelm Him

When a Taurus man misses you, he will come out of his shell and seek you out. He may run hot and cold because he needs to engage with you on his own terms. When a Taurus man feels like you are too intense in your pursuit, he’ll back down.

Don’t overwhelm a Taurus man. In terms of texting, this means don’t blow up his phone. If you send a text and he doesn’t reply, don’t assume he didn’t get the message. If you send rapid fire texts, a Taurus man will likely block you.

A Taurus man has strong boundaries. He won’t tolerate someone intruding into his private life. Even from a distance, if you are too insistent with your texting, a Taurus man will feel like you are crowding him and will become overwhelmed. Less is more when it comes to texting a Taurus man.

Drop Hints

Another way to ensure a Taurus man replies to your text message is to keep him guessing. If you drop hints that entice him, a Taurus man will be more likely to follow up with you.

If a Taurus man doesn’t initiate contact, you may have to give him some space at first. It’s worth dropping hints and letting him put the pieces together and seek you out to find out more about what is going on in your life.

However if he is not readily replying to your hints, then the next best course of action is to back off. Give a Taurus man space and let him have time to miss you and reach out. Appealing to a Taurus man by being an enigma only works if you give him time.

Is your Taurus man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Taurus back in. →

Set an Appointment

If you see subtle signs a Taurus man likes you, you may be able to appeal to his interest while also showing him you respect his boundaries. Sometimes Taurus men are more responsive when they can control the timing.

Try setting an appointment for communication. If you notice he’s more responsive on certain days of the week or times of day, try to use this as an appointment to reach out to him consistently.

Taurus men are protective of their time and their schedules. If he has a standing appointment to text with you, that is better than trying to randomly get a reaction from him. A Taurus man who is consistent even if he’s not as communicative as you’d wish, is still showing interest in you.

Don’t Give Ultimatums

If you see signs a Taurus man has a crush on you, be patient. Taurus men can be slow to respond and may not always be consistent. Whatever you do, don’t give him an ultimatum.

When a Taurus man feels stuck in a corner, his first reaction will be to bail altogether. Even if he was just starting to open up. It’s better to accept that he’s moving at a slow pace than to jeopardize the relationship by pushing too hard.

If you try too hard to get a Taurus man to step up to the plate, he may run away. He would rather turn his back on love than have to give up control. If you give him an ultimatum or threaten him in any way, he will immediately drop all contact with you.

Share Good News

If you’re wondering how to compliment a Taurus man, the best thing you can do is compliment his work and his appearance. This can make it easy to get his response through text. If you send him a compliment that is heartfelt and positive, he’ll respond.

Taurus men are vain and care about their appearances and reputation. When a Taurus man feels like you appreciate his good looks, fashion sense and his hard working nature, he’ll feel more attached to you.

One of the best ways to get a response from a Taurus man is to share sincere praise and compliments. Send him a text acknowledging his success at work or his talents. Text him to admire his looks and he’ll be eager to respond.

You can also usually get a response from a Taurus man when you reach out to share good news with him. He’s not always optimistic but he’ll love to share your successes with you. Text him to tell him about a promotion or other win at work, for example.

Express Gratitude

Sometimes, a Taurus man not responding for days can be one of the tell-tale signs a Taurus man doesn’t like you. Other times, his silence will just be a sign that he’s busy or distracted with work. If you want to break the ice, try texting him with gratitude.

When you send a brief message to express thanks and gratitude for something he’s done for you, you can test the waters and potentially lure a Taurus man back to communicating with you. If he’s really not interested, he’ll still ignore you.

Yet if he does like you, texting him with words of gratitude will usually generate a response within a day or so. Sometimes you have to be patient and give a Taurus man a chance to respond when he feels comfortable.

If you text him to tell him that you’re grateful for something he’s done for you or to thank him for sharing advice or being helpful, he’ll be more likely to respond. This is a good potential springboard into further conversation.
