Taurus guys take pride in their practical skills and hardworking nature. At the end of the day, any compliment you give him will make him smile, as long as it's genuine and straightforward.

In addition, Taurus guys can easily detect a fake comment, so be authentic and compliment the qualities you find most admirable.
- "You're so handy! Is there anything you don't know how to do?"
- "You look so handsome in that shirt. It matches your eyes perfectly!"

Sensual Taurus will be drawn to you when you look your best. Make sure you look well-groomed, stylish, and put-together whenever you see him. Apply an enticing perfume or cologne to make yourself smell irresistible, too. He loves it when all of his senses are engaged, and because Taurus is ruled by Venus—the planet of love—he's naturally drawn to a pretty face.
- Try a scoop-neck top or something with a gentle v-neck. It should show off your neck and collarbone without being too low-cut.
- Wear soft, muted colors and lots of earthy tones like tan, blue, and green.
- Whatever you wear, make sure it looks elegant and classy. Taurus guys want to date someone who looks attractive but covers enough skin to be respectable.
