How to Text a Taurus Man

Learning how to communicate with a Taurus through text is slightly different than communicating with him in person.

Certain topics are generally off-limits for text conversations, even if he would normally discuss them in person.

You’ll want to keep things light and flirty when texting Taurus. Don’t bring up serious topics when you’re texting. If you’re upset with him, don’t start an argument with a text.

Frequency of texts is a balancing act. You don’t want to seem too needy but you also don’t want him to think you’re ignoring him.

Be Flirty

A Taurus man’s communication style is flirty. If you want to have a lighthearted, friendly text conversation with him, go ahead and flirt a little.

You can flirt with him the same way you would in person, just without the body language element. There isn’t a special “text messages only” way to flirt with a Taurus man.

Having a light, flirty tone is a good idea in general. Taurus doesn’t like it when text conversations are too serious.

Texting adds new elements to flirting as well. You can send emojis or pictures to accompany your texts. If you’re someone who is usually nervous when flirting in person, you can say things you wouldn’t normally be able to say.

If he’s not being flirty or if he ignores your flirtatious texts, those are signs that a Taurus man has lost interest in you, at least romantically.

Compliment Him

Taurus likes to be complimented. He loves it when people notice him and appreciate him. This is true in person and when you’re texting him.

You can be even more liberal with the compliments over text than you would be in person. If you’re a little over the top, he’s not going to think too much of it.

He’ll just assume you’re trying to make sure he’s reading your tone correctly.

If you two just went on a date, send a little text to let him know you thought it went well. If he sends you a picture of himself, respond with a compliment about his outfit, his smile, his hair, etc.

If there’s something you’ve always wanted to say to him but you’re too embarrassed to say it in person, try texting it to him. He’ll appreciate hearing it, even if it’s not in person.

Send Him Pics

A Taurus man’s texting style usually involves a lot of pictures. Texts aren’t just about words.

For a Taurus, in fact, texting has to involve more than just words. He’s a highly sensual person. He is used to having most, if not all, of his senses involved in a conversation.

When you’re texting, all you can see are the words on the screen. You can’t see a person’s smile, hear the tone of their voice, or read their body language.

Don’t just tell him something he texted made you laugh, send him a picture of you laughing. If you just got a new dress, don’t just describe it to him. Show him.

Pictures make the conversation feel more “real” to Taurus. This is especially true if you two don’t see one another in person often. He’ll always appreciate getting to see a few photos of you.

Light Conversation

Taurus’ communication style in text messages is light. He doesn’t usually like to have serious or intense discussions over text.

You can definitely talk to Taurus for hours over text. “Light” doesn’t mean “sparse”.

If you want to talk to him about something important, don’t text him about it. Let him know you’d like to talk and then set up a time to either meet in person or talk to him over the phone.

The reason he keeps conversation light over text is because he doesn’t want either of you to be misunderstood. He feels a little lost sometimes when he can’t hear your voice or read your body language during a conversation.

If you have to have a serious discussion via text for some reason, ask him first. Don’t surprise him.

Be Friendly

The best way to talk to a Taurus man through text is with a friendly tone.

How do you have a friendly “tone” in a text message? Pay attention to how Taurus texts. That’s likely what he thinks texting in a friendly manner is.

Keep things simple and to the point. If your texts are long or overly complicated, that leaves more room for misreading your tone.

Add emojis to show your tone. Don’t be afraid to overuse them! Taurus probably uses a lot of emojis in his text messages to you. He’s doing this to show that he’s happy, that he’s being friendly, etc.

Avoiding serious topics is part of being friendly in a text conversation. If you need to talk about something serious with him, text and ask when he can talk with you on the phone or in person.

Don’t Be Needy

Should you text a Taurus man first? Sometimes. Other times, wait for him to initiate a conversation.

There isn’t a hard or fast rule about who initiates a conversation. Sometimes he’ll do it, sometimes you will. Don’t worry about that too much.

If you send a text and he doesn’t reply right away, though, you don’t need to follow up with another text. Be patient. Wait for him to reply.

You don’t want to come across as too needy. He has a life outside of you. He has things going on and isn’t always going to have his phone on hand.

If a Taurus man doesn’t initiate contact for a day or two, don’t stress about it. He might just be busy. Would you be worried if you didn’t see him every single day? Unless you live together, the answer is likely no.

Don’t Ignore Him

If you’re upset with Taurus, don’t give him the silent treatment. That’s not going to do anything.

He’s not going to think you’re ignoring him if you don’t respond immediately to every single text message, so don’t worry about that.

However, try to reply when you can. Don’t leave him on read. If he asks you a question or texts you about something time-sensitive, do your best to reply in a timely manner.

If you see his text but you’re busy, just let him know that you’re busy and that you’ll get back to him later. He’ll understand.

If you two have a “routine” when it comes to texting and you need to break that routine for some reason, tell him. Don’t just miss a “good morning” text without giving him a heads up.

Be Intelligent

If you want to really know how to attract a Taurus man with texting, show off your intelligence. You can be fun and flirty while still showing him how smart you are.

You don’t need to start an intense intellectual discussion, of course. He’d probably prefer you didn’t do that in a text conversation. Just talk candidly about things you’re knowledgeable about.

Show off your intelligence by sending him articles you’ve read. If he asks you a question about something, respond with a thoughtful answer.

Your wit and charm will shine through in the things you say as well. Don’t overthink it. Just say what comes naturally to you.

Be Supportive

What a Taurus man wants to hear when he’s sad is that you support him and that you’re there for him. If you can’t be there in person, a text is the next best thing.

You won’t always be able to be there for Taurus in person. If you two live far away, you’re not going to be able to offer a hug when he’s sad. Show your support via text instead.

Specifically tell him that you’re available if he needs to talk. Tell him you care about him. Send some heart emojis. He won’t think it’s tacky. He’ll find it sweet.

If you know he’s going through a rough time, texting him with words of encouragement will cheer him up as well.

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

Don’t Start Conflict

Don’t start an argument over text. Taurus isn’t going to sit there and hash something out with you in a text conversation. He’ll just ignore you until he can give you a piece of his mind in person.

Don’t purposefully bring up topics that you know he disagrees with you about. There is a time and place for friendly debates. With a Taurus, a text conversation isn’t the place. He’s not going to think it’s friendly.

If you are angry with him, don’t take it out on him in a text conversation. You need to actually talk to him.

If you’re upset about something and can’t figure out how to tell him in person, be honest about that. Don’t just blindside him with a text message airing your grievances.
