1

He touches or hugs you a lot.

Taurus men are very big on expressing their affection physically. As a fixed Earth placement, they’re very big on sensual touches, cuddles, warm embraces, or just innocent hand-holding. If you notice him being more touchy-feely around you compared to others, odds are he’s crushing on you at least a little.^{[1]

- To test his attraction, try initiating a hug yourself. If he pulls away fairly quickly, he probably still wants to keep things platonic, but if your hold lingers, there are definitely some sparks.

2

He flashes you flirty looks and smolders.

Taurus men do a lot of communication with their eyes. Ruled by Venus (the planet of beauty), they’re very drawn to eye candy and prefer the visual to the verbal. If the Taurus man you’re crushing on keeps looking your way, he’s showing he’s drawn to your beauty, which means he’s attracted to you.^{[2]

- Sometimes, a Taurus’ looks won’t be outwardly flirty. Taurus men also prefer discretion to flashy displays of affection. If he keeps looking at you, hoping you won’t notice, that’s a sign he’s interested.

3

He’s super protective of you.

Like the bull that represents them, Taurus men can be territorial. If he’s attracted to you, he’ll work hard to make you feel like he’s yours and vice versa. He’ll call out anybody he thinks is disrespecting you (he might even throw hands) and he’s likely to get jealous if he sees another guy getting close to you.^{[3]

- Taurus men aren’t known for sharing their feelings openly, so pay attention to his physical behavior. If you notice him standing closer to you when he sees another dude as a threat, that’s his way of trying to keep you safe.
- Sometimes, the protectiveness is sweet, but sometimes it crosses into possessiveness. If you feel like he’s crossing a boundary, kindly but effectively communicate that you feel he’s overstepping. Tauruses are pretty tolerant, so he’ll likely apologize and back off.

4

He flirts with you openly.

Download Article

Taurus men are very direct when they like somebody. While they tend to be on the shyer side, they value openness and honesty above all else. And they hate mixed signals. If a Taurus guy is attracted to you, he’ll lay the amorous talk on thick. Expect playful pick-up lines, warm body language, and the sickest game he can possibly spit.
- Taurus men love to flirt, but they prefer sincerity to raunchiness. Remain a little coy and allow him to chase you. It’ll drive him wild.

5

He compliments your physical attractiveness.

Taurus men love to make their loves feel loved. Ruled by Venus (the planet of love), they’re quite romantic and have keen attention to detail. If your Taurus man has the hots for you, expect lots of praise for your gorgeous eyes, rockin’ bod, or exquisite sense of fashion (maybe even all three).^{[4]

- Taurus men love to be complimented too, but keep it focused on the physical. The existential, soul mate, inner beauty stuff is a little too abstract for their tastes.

6

He makes an extra effort with his physical appearance.

Download Article

A Taurus man will want to appear strong and stylish if he likes you. Earthy and ruling over the 2nd House of material possessions, he’ll invest in new clothes to wear just when you’re around, spend extra time in the gym, or even puff out his chest in your presence. If you notice him standing up a little straighter or sporting his most expensive jacket whenever you hang out, odds are he’s secretly trying to woo you. ^{[5]

- Compliment your Taurus man’s looks whenever you can, but don’t draw attention to the fact that he’s trying to impress you. While the bull sign isn’t the most subtle (we all know what happens when they enter a china shop), he wants to feel slick and low-key.

7

He only has eyes for you.

A Taurus man is fiercely loyal. If he’s into you, he won’t look at, talk to (or likely even think about) anyone else sexually or romantically. If he shuts down conversations about other people whenever you ask him about his dating life, it’s likely because he wants that life to include you and only you.^{[6]

- Showing this same loyalty is bound to make a Taurus man’s heart (and maybe even some other areas) tingle. Avoid playing games with a Taurus or flirting with other people. This commitment will earn his trust and admiration.

8

He takes things slow and steady.

Download Article

Taurus men don’t like to rush. A fixed sign, they’re very stubborn and take a while to warm up and trust people. While it may seem counterintuitive at first, it’s a big sign of attraction if a Taurus man doesn’t want to get super physical with you right away. If he sees you as a potential mate, he’ll prefer to work his way up to intimacy so he can be certain of what he’s getting into.^{[7]

He flexes his finances around you.

Download Article

Taurus men are loud and deliberate when it comes to money. With both a Venus and 2nd house rulership (two placements heavily invested in personal finance…pun intended), when a Taurus man is lusting after you, he’ll find ways to show off his money or treat you both. He’ll pay for expensive dinners, and help you with debts. He may even assist you in sorting out your bills or taxes.^{[10]

How does a Taurus act when they have a crush?

Mechila Blake
Astrologer and Tarot Reader

Tauruses tend to show their affection through actions rather than words. They might bring you a coffee and say, “Oh, they gave me an extra,” even though it’s exactly how you like it. They are subtle with their gestures at first.

They take their time to build a connection before making any direct moves. Once they feel comfortable, they’ll plan traditional, romantic dates—dinner reservations, flowers, maybe a movie. Dating a Taurus feels like something out of a classic rom-com. They’re thoughtful and chivalrous in a way that feels nostalgic.
