Posted by jeaneI called once and texted once a day. I've known him for 10 years. Most of those years we were friends and we are only 25... so majority of it has been growing pains of us trying to grow up and find ourselves as individual adults so I don't think it counts lol.Posted by brownhunnieHow long inbetween calls and texts?

When I saw him last week he was telling me how much he loves me, was crazy about me and even bought me some things for my new business. Then he just started ignoring me. He didnt answer the phone or text me back in like 4 days. Then texted me saying "good morning baby" with a kiss emoji....Yea right. I didnt reply.click to expand

He sounds like a kid. Don't put too much stock in his words. Let his actions guide you.
As to what to do? Shit, if my fella did that to me, I would say something. Don't sit on it. He probably doesnt realise that his behaviour is dickish.click to expand

I've come to the conclusion that Taurus males play hot/cold/disappearing/I'm busy games. I am no longer asking why. Every Taurus male I've met does it. (I'm pretty sure there are some exceptions out there but I can not relate.)
What I ultimately want to know is how you should respond to the hot and cold games?
I know while a person ignores you that you should ignore them to and don't keep calling and texting when they're not responding.
But say if I saw him and had good conversations for a week then he ignores me for 3 days then randomly calls or texts me... Should I show him how ignoring me feels and then ignore him? Or should I cave in and respond to whenever he hits me up like I'm on his time?

My Capricorn ex of 10 years was like that too. He loved me, borderline worshipped. We lived together build a life with each other, together all the time..... but if I called him 9 times out of 10 he was not going to pick up the phone and when I text I didn't get a response for two to three hours later. Unless we had plans.
Initially I took it personally until I realized he did that with everybody including his kids and mother.
Everybody doesn't like the phone. It used to really bother me but I just adjusted myself to his personality and didn't take it personally. ?
But he is now your "EX" ... Something obviously went wrong...click to expand
Posted by brownhunnieIt makes him an emotionally cold, unreliable flake.
& he has a capricorn moon. & venus in gemini. I wonder what that makes of this Taurus? ?

Posted by Bricks195Venus in Gemini likes Independent Women who can understand the air sign's prolific need for space. My Taurus BFF of 23 years has a Venus in Gemini and my Venus is in Libra. I love the holy s*** out of her!
I don't know how much rejuvenating someone should need after texting a girl he supposedly loves. It shouldn't be a soul-sucking endeavor.
True, some people are not prolific texters, but when the girl you're in love with says she wants you to touch base a little more, how the hell hard can it be to give her that?
If he knows how the OP feels and he still drops off from time to time, maybe he's trying to prove a point, like he does what he wants and he doesn't want to be tied down. Cool, but then he'd be a better match for a girl who has the same style .

But air need for space is so barbarically profound that irrespective of our partners need to communicate during that time it feels unnatural.
But yes I would have to admit that if you have communicated to him that it bothers you and he hasn't been responsive that is suspect!!
But I still have a very hard time taking space when I need it too so I really understand the Venus in Gemini's plight.
So sometimes my BFF Taurus of 23 years will tell me something that I do that she doesn't like and I won't change until she shows me what it feels like. ROFLMOA!!!!
So you ghost for 4 days so he can see what that feels like I bet you he'll be singing another tune.click to expand
Posted by In_the_FadeDefinitely agree with this. With a Taurus, 4 days is NOT a long time, esp if he's very busy with work and very fixated on perfecting things at work. If you're not close together, getting a msg every 2 to 3 weeks or within a month is lucky enough.
Damn.
I do this too. I don't know if it's a Taurus thing or not, but it's definitely true of me.
In my case, it's because I'm so detached and in my own head: Taurus can fixate on EVERY little thing. Thus if I'm very attached to someone and I think they're losing interest or ignoring me, I can go cold at the drop of a hat (not a healthy or mature tendency, I know). It's mostly subjective and irrational (but hey, Taurus is ruled by Venus and exalts the Moon, and it's part of my make-up).
The speed with which Taurus can go cold seems odd for a sign characterised by consistency and steadiness, but I think this is the "buffoonery" or "stupidity" of Taurus: Taurus is NOT dumb in the sense of intelligence, but can be so egocentric and selfish that they make subjective judgements that are not based in reality at all. In this way, they seem odd and "off" because they go only by what they feel and sense instead of what is actually true.

For myself, I also need a lot of space. With all the texting and social media going on, I find a lot of time is lost on answering nitty gritty things from friends and acquaintances. Like you can spend 30 sec to talk in person, but texting takes like 2 min to type the same info across.
I stopped answering uneventful msg from friends and I dislike it that anyone just forward non-sensical youtube videos to me and cost me time to dl crap. But if the video or questions they ask have value, then I feel it's worth it.click to expand
