If there’s one thing you’ve discovered in life, Taurus, it’s that you’ve accepted that you’d be all right being alone. You enjoy your friends, sure, but that doesn’t mean you always understand them. You love them, but that doesn’t mean you always get along with them. Sometimes, the opposite is true. They stretch your patience, forcing you to return to the comfort of your own space. At the end of the day, you know that when it comes to who you can depend on, you have yourself–and probably your dog. Until one day, you meet another you and everything changes.
Taurus
You’re as stubborn as they come, Taurus, but that’s what makes you so great. You stand by your convictions, and you won’t back down from things you believe are true. This doesn’t always mean people will like you, however, and you’re quite okay with that. Time is precious, and you’d rather spend it with those you can trust, and not everyone you come across will fit that bill. You’re not fond of change and much prefer knowing what to expect in life. It’s not just about sticking to a schedule–you will seek stability in everything in life: knowing who you can count on (and who you can’t), finding the best place in town that consistently serves good coffee, and picking a mechanic that won’t overcharge you. You get the picture. With time and behavior comes trust and stability, and you will flock to the things and people you know you can depend on and avoid the ones you can’t.
Taurus and Taurus in Friendship
When you make a friend, Taurus, your loyalty rises above the rest. You’re fond of the finer things in life, and that includes who you spend your time with. When you find someone you can trust, you will go out of your way to keep them around. Friends aren’t something you exchange but rather, like a rare gem, something you collect. You have good intuition when it comes to sifting through what’s real and what’s not, and you know that just because something sparkles, doesn’t mean it’s a diamond. But when you find that lucky one, you’ll recognize the value and keep it in your life.
If there’s one thing you’ve discovered, however, not all people share this sentiment about friendships. Therefore, when you meet another Taurus, you’ll be shocked to find someone who gives you the same respect you offer others, and finally, you won’t have to worry about sacrificing your sanity and your patience to understand those friends, who, while might be loyal, might lack your reliability, two factors you value in everyone you let into your life. This friendship will last a lifetime.
Friend Date: Mani/Pedi or Streaking on the Beach at Midnight?
If you can imagine your friend group like a fence, you two Taureans are the posts holding everything together. While other pieces may chip off, the two of you will hold steady, rooting yourselves into the ground. It will be a relief to have found this friend, as you’ll finally feel understood. You won’t need to defend yourself when everyone else decides to go on a spontaneous road trip, and you two stick to the original dinner plans discussed. Predictability and consistency are of utmost importance to both of you, and you’ll be grateful to find someone you can depend on.
You’ll quickly discover this reliability extends beyond the shared activities and hobbies you both enjoy. You’re often the person others express secrets to, and it’s a relief when you find a friend you can trust the same way other people trust you. Neither of you will attempt to step out of your comfort zone, which has isolated you in the past, and now, finally, you’ve found someone else whose happy staying rooted in one place.
Friend-Fection: Keep It on the Dl or Text ‘Love Ya Biatch?’
Communication has always been a bit tricky for you, Taurus. You’re a great listener, but expressing yourself clearly has been a struggle for you. It’s easier to show your affection than to speak it–unless someone pushes you over the edge. You don’t appreciate disrespect and won’t back down on your opinions; your stubborn nature means you will double down on your perspectives, even if other people don’t agree with you. Fortunately for you, your Taurus friend will never push you to that limit because they understand the same frustration you’ve experienced, and they’ll never pressure you to talk about how you feel. You won’t question their affection because, like you, they will know how to show their appreciation rather than express it.
Dating Advice: Send His Name or Send His Social?
With dating, the two of you find other people’s antics a bit odd. Neither of you understands how people can fall so fast for complete strangers. You’re both way too practical for that. In fact, you’re so grounded and realistic that you don’t really understand terms like ‘rose-colored glasses’ or the ‘honeymoon stage.’
For you, love is something that grows out of trust, and trust can only be built through time and behavior. For that reason, you keep your early experiences with dating to yourself, and if the subject arises between the two of you, it will most likely be a conversation stemming from amusement about your friend’s dating experience, then from anything you’ve personally experienced.
Taurus and Taurus in Love
It’s not unheard of for the friendship between the two of you to develop into something more, but even if you started as strangers, your relationship will always vibrate with the type of trust only the best of friends can relate to. A common problem you’ve had in relationships is how fast your partner moves, something you struggle to relate to. If love is the biggest experience, you can share with someone, you want to make sure you’ve picked the right person. You lead with your mind, and not your heart… but once you’ve started to trust the person you’re with, your love for them will never stagnate, it will only deepen and grow. And when you meet another Taurean, you’ll finally discover someone who not only moves at the same pace as you but who respects and values intimacy and love in the same way you do.
The First Date: Roses or KFC?
The first date definitely won’t include roses–but it won’t include KFC either. You two appreciate the finer things in life, so it’s much more likely you’ll pick a nice restaurant, and because you don’t fall hard or fast, you will be more intent on getting to know who this other person is than trying to win them over with elaborate displays of affection. The struggle you’ll both face–on your first date and in your relationship–will sacrifice the comfort of what is known as the uncertainty of new experiences.
For a first date, this might compromise meeting at their favorite restaurant instead of your own, your stubbornness to change a bit debilitating, but something, that if you can get past, will allow this first date to lead into many more. Stability is everything to you, and you’ll find that trait in another Taurus. The issues, however, will arise when you two grow as a couple, and your schedules match up. You’ll become too comfortable in your predictability and because you now have a partner to share in your routines, you might lose friendships or new opportunities for your lack of stepping outside the box you call comfort and consistency.
Love Language Do’s and Don’ts: A Dealbreaker?
This is where you two rock in a relationship. With previous partners, you’ve both been blamed for not speaking up enough or expressing your feelings and finally you won’t be expected to depend on words of affirmation to show your love. Not only that, but you’ll discover your partner shows their love in a way you prefer: through quality time and acts of service. Because of this, neither of you will question what you mean to the other. Any struggles that arise, however, will ultimately be prolonged because of your mutual lack of direct communication.
Sexy Time: Slow and Steady or Chompin’ at the Bit?
Of all the Zodiac signs, Taurus is the most sensual, making this match up one for the books. It will be a gradual growth of your intimacy, one that grows as does your trust for each other, but you will both definitely have your needs met–if you can work on communicating exactly what you prefer. Fortunately, you both will share similar interests and values in the bedroom, making this connection an effortless one.
The Verdict?
As friends, it doesn’t get much better than this. Communication will be more of a challenge when you two are in love, but as long as you both work to mend that mutual weakness, you will discover nothing is off the table when it comes to love.
