Last Updated: October 3, 2025 Fact Checked

Taurus men (born between April 20 and May 20) have a fixed Earth sign that’s ruled by Venus. This means they’re loyal, stable, and extremely sensual, but they’re not always emotionally vulnerable right away. If you like a Taurus man and you’re not sure if he likes you back, you're in luck. We spoke with astrologers Angel Eyedealism and Stina Garbis to put together a list of signs so you’ll know if a Taurus man is falling for you. Read on to learn more!

How to Know If a Taurus Man Likes You

A Taurus man dials up the charm when he likes you. He’ll start a conversation with you, pay you compliments, and ask questions to get to know you better. He’ll want to spend time with you, introduce you to his friends, and get physically close. Taurus men move slowly, but with some patience, he can be yours!

He starts conversations in person and over text.

A Taurus man gets bolder when he really likes you. Taurean men are stubborn and only make an effort when they’re certain they genuinely like someone.^{[1]
X
Research source} Think about your past conversations, or texting history. If you find that you’re the only one who starts conversations or that your texts are always longer and more detailed than his, it may sadly be an indication that his interest is only friendly.
- But if he’s taking some initiative by asking you about your day or texting you just to say “hi,” he probably likes you and wants to see more of you!^{[2]

  Research source}
- Taurus men are careful when it comes to their love lives. He might wait to see how well the two of you fit together before starting a conversation. If he’s really interested, he’ll step it up soon.^{[3]

- Reader Poll: We asked 1690 wikiHow readers who've dated Taurus men, and 56% of them agreed that the best way to attract them is by giving them space and waiting for them to reach out. [Take Poll] If your Taurus man reaches out first, it’s often a good sign he likes you!

2

He likes to take things slow and steady.

Taurus men are known for taking their time in love. This guy needs time to wrap his head around everything. That includes relationships. You might even think he’s not that into you after all. But if they continue to text you and ask you out week after week for a few months, they’re definitely interested.^{[4]
X
Research source} Their cool, calm exterior masks a passionate and emotional heart thanks to being ruled by Venus, the planet of love and romance. They like to know you’re the right one for them—and that you like them back—before taking things to the next level. But once they decide you’re the one for them, you definitely know.
- Take a breath and relax. Rushing a Taurus guy when he hasn’t made up his mind about you won’t get you anywhere.
- The only way to get past this stage is to be patient, or you might push him away.
- However, if you’ve been dating for a few months, suggest a second date for a week. Just make sure you keep things laid back.

He asks you open-ended questions.

Expert Interview} He’ll ask you lots of questions to make sure you’re the right someone. Consider it a good sign if he begins to ask open-ended questions, which require longer and more detailed responses about your personality or personal beliefs. Open-ended questions mean that he wants to know you better, so the more personal the question, the more interested he is.^{[6]
X
Research source}
- In fact, hanging out with a Taurus man may at first feel like he’s quizzing you a little, but that’s a good sign too! It means he’s interested and wants to figure out your compatibility right off the bat.^{[7]

  Research source}
- Examples of open-ended questions include: “What are your favorite hobbies?” and “Where in the world do you most want to travel?”

4

He pays you compliments.

X
Research source} Paying compliments is one of the clearest signs out there that a guy is interested. A compliment indicates he’s paying close attention to you – and wants you to know it.^{[9]
X
Research source} When a Taurus man likes you, he’ll also pay you compliments that go deeper than surface level.
- He will still compliment on your appearance, but he also appreciates more practical things in life and will take note if you do, too.^{[10]
  X
  Research source}
- A good example of a physical compliment would be, “I love that shirt - it really brings out the blue in your eyes.”
- A more practical compliment would be, “You’re so creative, and when we talk, your perspective is so refreshing!”

Taurus man in love will try very hard to impress you. As a fixed sign, Taurus is generally calm, patient, and quiet. They don’t usually like to be the center of attention unless it’s absolutely necessary.^{[11]
X
Research source} However, he’s not one to pass up a challenge…especially in the pursuit of romance. His Venusian nature won’t allow him to take a back seat once he decides he likes you. He'll pull out all the stops and do whatever he can to catch your eye. He’ll wine and dine you while wearing impeccably tailored ensembles from luxury brands. You’ll eat the best food at the most exclusive restaurants…and he won’t even let you ask to split the check.^{[12]
X
Research source}
- Even when they’re showing off, Taurean men usually prefer to show how great he is rather than point out the flaws of others.
- While he might get slightly cocky and competitive around you, he’ll still hold on to his cool unless someone really really goes out of their way to make him angry. Then, watch out!

6

He steps outside of his comfort zone.

When a Taurus man likes you, he’s willing to try new things with you. Taurus tends to be a homebody. He likes comfort, and he’s worked to make his home the coziest place around.^{[13]
X
Research source} As an earth sign, Taurus would be content just hanging around with you all day. So, if he’s willing to leave his happy place when you suggest an outing, there’s a good chance he’s got some strong feelings for you. Be warned, though, that he might not be eager to head out on every new adventure. But when he really likes you, he would rather spend time with you than stay home alone.
- While he might be willing to follow your lead, don’t forget to plan a few nights in, or his natural stubborn streak might come out.
- A Taurus guy will be happy to make you a delicious dinner and then spend the rest of the evening cuddling on the couch.

7

He wants to spend quality time with you.

A Taurus guy in love wants to be with you as much as possible. Taurean men may not be open about their true feelings, but they will be open about wanting to see you more. Garbis says, “if they are making any effort to physically see you, then they must be seriously interested in you.”^{[14]

Stina Garbis
Psychic Astrologer

Expert Interview} On average, men tend to be more comfortable expressing their affection through physical touch, and this is definitely the case with a Taurean. When you’re still trying to figure out if he likes you, the answer is in how close to you he tries to be. Not only will his body language change, but he’ll also try to initiate touches with you more often. Examples of this include:
- He hugs you in greeting when you see one another.
- He sits close enough to you that your thighs brush together.
- He touches your hands repeatedly or brushes against them when you’re walking together.
- He touches your arm or shoulder multiple times in a conversation.

9

He wants to introduce you to his friends.

It’s important to Taureans that you like their friends – and vice versa. Garbis says, “Taurus tends to keep their social circle small – to family and a few friends – and it is hard to break in. If a Taurus is going out of their way to spend any time with you at all and is trying to invite you into that circle, then that is a sign that there's some interest.”^{[17]

Count on a Taurus guy to lend a hand if he likes you. As part of being such practical people, Taurus men like to take charge of situations. If you need help, either in the form of a physical chore or in the form of advice, a Taurus man who likes you will jump at the chance to offer assistance.^{[19]
X
Research source} Ask for his advice and look for his reaction. Giving advice is so personal and requires a thought-out response. He’ll only want to do it with someone he really likes.
- You could alternatively ask him for help with a work-related task or a DIY project. Taurus men are hardworking, so if he’s particularly eager to work on something with you, that’s a good sign.
- Similarly, if he goes out of his way to help you out, consider it another signal that he really likes you.^{[20]

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.

Well, a little bit. It's a known fact that Taurus men are stubborn. They aren't very trusting and are looking for a more down to earth and traditional partner. Be aware of that!

They want to know that you're loyal, as this sign isn't known for being trustful. If the guy likes you, he'll do what's possible to know you better and see if you both share values. Also, he'll try to shower you with gifts!
