Resurfacing... Gradually

So... Taurus man just called out of the blue. Wanted to know how I was doing. I told him he'd been on my mind today and he said he felt like he won the lotto.
That bastard.
Of course he was working so he said he would call me soon.

Damn I miss him. I miss his companionship. Our convos... Why does he keep checking on me? I don't like it. Not one bit.

Damn you Taurus men!!!

Lol @ he felt like he won the lotto.

Yeah, now he'll piss off for a while after getting his reassuring fill.

Ahhh the good old 'call soon' chestnut...

So... You lining up a buffet of earth men for your interest? Talk about backups

I just think he's a bit too young to really know what he wants and then how to handle it all.

I'm sure I recall he's in his late 20's. Maybe 27 or 28. Could be wrong but a reasonable amount younger than the OP. Might have that wrong too so apologies.

The whole getting pissed off with the flowers thing and needing time to assess or cool down is not too unreasonable but to say it's over and piss off only to come knocking again later on would piss me off somewhat.

I guess it depends on why he's picking up the phone and dailing her number. What's he hoping to achieve? What's his motive? That's what I'd be interested in.

I think maybe he's doing it to see if she still answers and then see if she's still interested in some level. I guess even picking up the phone to him indicates he's still in with a chance. So he has his fix or reassurance and leaves her hanging again for a few weeks until the next time. Meanwhile the OP is thinking WTF? And maybe it sets off another round of 'what does he want?' 'Is he still interested?' Etc which is what he probably wants to achieve - her thinking about him.

Maybe he does (or doesn't) genuinely like or miss her too. Nobody knows.

Perhaps OP just needs to think about what she wants?

He's not offering her anything right now. There's nothing on the table. She's busy checking out others and getting on with stuff which is good. God I need to get a life but some of the stories, threads, and dramas on here are rathering interesting and quite educational sometimes!!

Perhaps there is simply nothing to be done right now.

Sometimes doing nothing is doing something.

Fuck me, I do surprise myself with my pearls of wisdom sometimes!!

I'm on the chocolates...

SMH. Taurus men can be so full of themselves, but they are so sweet with it that you never notice it's not about you, it's about them. Clever little cuties.lol.
I??ve learned not to take this man serious unless he's talking about making me his woman. That's the only time they are in it to win it in my opinion. They have an all or nothing, no nonsense mind games when they are after you for the long haul. Otherwise you are just another special moment of their life that they like to revisit from time to time. Taurus male has the tendency to not want to burn bridges; they love to keep past love interest as friends, as long as you never broke their trust. They honestly believe if the two of you didn't work out in a relationship, perhaps you can be greater at friends. I??ll bet the minute he feels you reading more into it, he??ll dip out again, unless it's mutual then your all good.
If your gonna entertain him keep your feelings out of it, and don't stop dating others either unless he tells you out his mouth that he wants to be exclusive.

And he??ll never stop poppin up on you unless you tell him to flat out. One time I got so mad at a Taurus man and his little game I flipped out and told him when he see's me he better not even look at me or I??ll make him regret it. Whelp! He never looked at me, until I told it was safe to do so.lol. Bottom line I think you enjoy the attention missy, so your not fooling anyone. BUT if in the rare event that you are serious about not liking him checking in on you, then all you have to do is tell him. He??ll leave you be. They are not like Cancers think there's an underlining meaning to everything. If you say you want him to stop he will believe you.

This is kinda true. Though if the romantic connection is still strong with an ex, I'm probably less likely to keep up with her, if I know its not going to work.

lol.Well you just answered a question I had about a Taurus ex of mines. The connection is obviously still there, and he knows I still have feelings and he does too, however because he knows he is not ready for what I am ready for he won't even cross the line with me. No mushy business. Kisses on my cheek when he see's me or a tight hug and a warm —I??ve missed you?? is as bout as far as it goes. He might even text out of the blue and ask what I??ve been up to, but he won't cross over into those deeper waters. Nonetheless he still checks on me or does little things to let me know he's still in the vicinity if I need him for anything outside of a romantic relationship. Like lets say I really need someone to talk to I can call him, and he??ll listen and bring me back down to earth (I'm an air sign, so I float up into my own world from time to time lol). But yeah, your response is very accurate. He said it from his own mouth he wont get that close again unless he's ready for the long haul.

yeah, Taurus men are really strange like that - all supportive and genuinely loving and stuff...caring about you as a person, beyond whether or not you're romantically compatible at any given point in time. sneaky devils....

lol

Texted me today. Asking me how I was doing. I told him about my recent weight loss and other things. He complimented me. Told me I looked great before, and now I just upped it a notch. I thanked him for the compliment. He then told me he would like to see me again, whenever I am free, no rush... I was taken back by this request. I haven't seen him in over a month now since he decided to leave.
Ugh!!! Damn you Taurus men!!!

Ugh! I should ask him that question?

Good question to ask. If you presume he wants to meet up more romantically but then find out he just wants to meet up as friends then by asking it would avoid any confusion do at least you know his intention.

I'd ask that. It's a fair question to ask plus it's direct enough for him to hopefully answer directly.
