*Update*

Okay guys so I messaged my friend asking her if she had gotten the opportunity to give him my number and she said no because Mr. Bull was in a car accident and he lost his job!!!!! So no job AND no car. He's okay himself though which is good. I was totally shocked and not expecting that at all! I'm just glad he's alright. Sheesh 😢 You just never know huh? Thanks for all the input and advice. This Scorp really appreciates it.



Greetings! Female Scorpion here. I just wanted some advice about this Taurus guy that I met at a friends BBQ. This get together was in late June so it has been a minute since initial contact. Mr. Bull walked into said shindig, said hi but other than that didn't say much for the entirety of the party. He caught my eye so I gave him a small smile and he definitely noticed. Me and some other people there were playing games and I noticed he pulled up a chair behind me and hung back to watch while sipping a drink. A few hours later I was sitting on a couch across the room and gave him the old Scorpion stare, just long enough for him to notice. He did! (Got him!) He left the party without saying anything to me but I didn't care all that much as we hadn't even really spoken to each other.

Fast forward to a week later. My friend who held the BBQ, we'll call her E, told me that Taurus guy liked me, wanted to talk to me and was it okay to give him my number. Upon receiving this info I immediately became nervous and unsure so I told her to give me a few days to mull it over. I was intrigued but new prospects, especially older ones (he's 39, I'm 25) make me nervous in general so I had to think it over. Roughly a week later I told her he could have my number. A few days later I asked E if she had given him my number but she said she hasn't seen him again to give it to him which I believe because Mr. Bull is E's boyfriends friend, not her friend directly.

More weeks pass by and I continue to think about Taurus. E has lots of things going on and I don't want to bug her about the situation. Last Tuesday I decided I've done enough waiting and take matters into my own hands by messaging him on Facebook. We are not friends on FB so idk if he got the message or not but I felt good about it. He hasn't responded to the message and here we are on Wednesday, a week later. Part of me is ready to move on from the situation, but part of me wants to keep waiting it out. I want to know this Bull!

What do you guys think? Do you think he's even still interested? Was it a bad idea to FB message him? Do you think he saw the message? Was I a fool for waiting to give him my number? He's a Leo moon, Aries Venus and Aries Mars. I'm a Sag Moon, Sag Venus and Gemini Mars. I don't have much experience with Taurus men romantically. Any insight would be appreciated. :3

If you want to give your number. Go ahead I acknowledge your courageous heart.

If things go wrong between you and that bull in long haul. Your power is taken.

I remember a guy who said " hi" while I was walking but am soo shy to respond until I crossed the street and there was a lady in the street staring at me because I dont say any. He was talking his friend along the street in front of the building where I worked. And was really felt awkward because they are staring my back. It melt me and couldn't walk that long. Hahaha.

I really like the guy..but missed my chance. I havent seen him.anymore. oh yeah I was hoping I could see him again on that same street. lol

But I am with a bull now. Soo no more longing that guy. Anyways he was good looking guy probably in his 30's.

Based on my experience with 5 bulls. They gave their number including my partner at this time.
Hmmm interesting. I don't mind that he asked for my number as it put the ball in my court but now its in his court because I messaged him on FB (number included) and he hasn't responded yet.

Since y'all aren't friends, he might not have even seen the message yet. Why not just friend him?

oh man...the pain and mystery suck to me, in my my most recent contact with a scorpion was over a year ago when she eyefucked me and of course the timing was not right which strangely seems to be the most common issue with this paring..idk why..maybe its so powerful the universe needs it to be right. back to my first point i just recently messaged her over a year later and she hasn't responded...lol i don't even know if she saw it but whatever.
Lol. I like the "so powerful the universe needs it to be just right" We'll go with that. ?

Even one of my ex bull kept viewing my professional profile nowadays. This introvert bull cant handle his emotion during those times.He cant understand himself everytime he saw me. He said he fell in love to me and lost his world around me. And it's been 3 yrs ago. He still snooping. Hahaha

Yeah I considered he hadnt seen it but I'm nervous to friend him because what if he did see the message and said "too late heffer!" and ignored it....that seems wildly ridiculous after writing it out ? I've had entirely to much time to overthink this.

Tauro,

Scorpio women likes handsome men.

Yes I was thinking it a lot like months but was failed to see him again. Soo it fades away and back to reality. But I dont think it about this day.

My bull is really good. Cant ask for more. Sex is great. He is a sweet guy. We always have a talk everytime he comes home. When we broke up before he told me he thought of me a lot though he had many affairs and cant satisfy him.

Yeah water and earth perfect match. I think.

I do t get how you were trying to catch his eye at the party, but then when he made his move you were all unsure.

Then there's the fact that your friend could have just asked her bf to give the taurus your number instead of just waiting to "bump into him" again.

If he has half a brain and has realized any of this he might think you are playing games. Then again, taurus is known to move slow so maybe he needs a week to think about it just like you needed. Who the fuck knows.


Yeah all this has been considered. At this point if anything happens then cool. If not, oh well :-/

I think his silence in this situation is all the answer needed? On FB PMs by others, not friends can be seen and read in my experience. If she friends him and he ignores her then what? Scorps are pretty tough. I guess they can take a rejection is rejection it is.

So has he even been on FB since you messaged him last week? If he's not big into social media, he may go a while without checking it. Keep being proactive if this is who you really want.

The unsure stuff makes us uneasy especially if you are already showing interest/pursuing us.
I thought that he might not get on very often but no way for me to know since we aren't FB friends. He isn't aware that I was unsure. All he knows is that my friend E didnt ask me about giving him my number right away.

FB messages from unknown people goes to a different inbox. If they have privacy filters turned on.

Not sure if it works differently now.



With a Bull, don't rush. Don't try to live a lifetime within a month.


Yeah def think it all depends on how they have it set up personally. I've gotten messages from people I was actually friends with and still didn't see the message/ get notified of it despite having notifications enabled and a pretty open filter.

Guess I won't sweat it.

I just know for me, I got a message from a person I wasn't friends with and i didn't see it for days. Facebook didnt alert me like it does with other messages. You can see if they read it though. Just look at it and see, that will answer everything. ?

Regardless of this man's sign, you shouldn't be chasing a man.

I also think that the "age gap" is tooooooooo big. Find someone your own age....
I'm not really of the mindset that women shouldn't "chase" men. That's a personal choice. Also I've dated plenty of guys my own age and obviously none of them have worked out thus far so I don't see the harm in broadening my horizons. Thanks :0)

OP, at aged 39, he should be MAN enough to get your number from you at the party!!!!

All the Taurus men i know if they are at all interested in you, they move at the speed of light and NEVER EVER EVER give up on you no matter what drama /bs etc. You drag to the table with you!! They are there!! ALL IN!!!

You are 25 years old... The world is huge and it awaits you... Don't spend your energy "waiting" on a 39 year old man...
Noted but I don't want to make assumptions about his character just because he didn't get my number at the party. He's still an individual. Trust me though, my 25 hasn't felt very 25ish to me, but that's a post for another time.

But the chances are more than likely he will have read your message...

The bulls I know either read the message and will respond straight away ; read the message and choose to ignore or do not have an fb account....

Like others have said, try not to over analyse. It's not a good Scorp trait but we do it.

Ask your mate if she's given the number. If she's a good mate then she'd have sorted that out for you especially since this fella is mates with her fella.

If you want to friend request him on FB then do so. What's the worst that can happen? I wouldn't call this chasing at all. Taking the initiative for sure.

My fella is a Taurus Sun with Aries Venus and Merc. He prefers the direct approach. He pursued me though despite him thinking there was no chance whatsoever. He kept going and didn't let rejection stop him.

In this scenario I wouldn't be concerned about the age difference. You know nothing of each other yet so there's no point discounting someone without going out a couple of times or at least learning more. Then you can see what happens.

At the moment, there's nothing here to go on aside from a look and a nod but he asked for your number so see what happens. Meanwhile, keep your life moving.

Personally, I don't think earth and water are a "perfect match"..

I strongly feel earth is better off with fire...

Maybe..other said depends on moon sign.

Am a Taurus male, seriously, just friend the guy. If he's really interested, he'd be thrilled by the fact that a girl he's into went out of their way to friend them. If he doesn't respond, just keep him on the back on your mind and wait until the next time you guys cross paths but don't keep your hopes up. I say this because some people have facebooks and NEVER USE THEM. Seriously, it happens. Some people simply don't use social media. The other thing you can do too is see if they have Instagrams. But considering his age, it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't that into facebook/social media at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn't completely close the book on this until you actually cross paths with him face to face. We are very very patient and when we come across women that like us (while single), trust me, we remember.

And yes, this is an amazing combo. Scorpio women are soooooooo fascinating.

Was I a fool for waiting to give him my number?
Absolutely. All astrology aside, I think, after you already signaled your interest, most people would take the above as playing games, and probably even feel rejected.

This was a layup for you and you botched it.

Meh. I wasn't trying to play games but my overthinking got in the way. My friend didn't tell him I needed to think about it so if he thinks that then he came to his own conclusion about it.

What did your friend tell him? If she didn't say anything, that's probably worse. Just flat out rejection.

She told him she hadn't asked me about it yet to buy me some time. She knows how I can be =_=

i don't think bulls are that quick to turn and run. if he is interested, he'll still be interested after her wavering.

Ah I recall you did put those placements up before. My fella is Leo moon too. He's very, very affectionate and sweet. I've not noticed a huge ego there but he does like attention paid to him. I think the fire placements in both charts could be interesting.

Depending on how things go or what feedback you get I'd consider reciprocating his initial phone number request or initiating something. I wouldn't worry so much about chasing. You don't always get things by sitting on your arse waiting. If you're not getting anything from him or it is a lost cause then let it go. Things don't always go text book or to plan. Women can initiate these days. He might light that but then let him do the work.

I think a lot of people here are being way too negative. This isn't even that complicated of a scenario. Sure it was a missed opportunity at the party and your friend isn't helping out that much with reaching out to the guy through her boyfriend but a bunch of people are acting as if you two will NEVER cross paths again.

Did you not just mention this is your friends boyfriend's friend? Did you not just mention that the Taurus asked about you through your friend? Those are all GREAT things here. There will be another gathering I'm sure and you guys will meet again. If you don't wanna wait around, it's not that difficult to just ask your friend "Hey, I really wanna talk to that guy, can I ask your boyfriend if that's okay?" If there's one thing about dudes, we help each other out. I'm sure your friends boyfriend would be happy to pass your number to him no problem.

Again, we're talking about a man here who's almost 40. The chances he doesn't use social media much? Very high. The chances he probably gets a ton of messages from peers but doesn't really look into them on facebook so your message may be lost in the shuffle? Also high.

Don't sit around and wait if you're not willing to and just go straight to the source. Ask your friend or your friend's boyfriend then. If your friend really is a good friend, they'd have no issue helping you out. Otherwise, just be patient and next time you see him again (which I'm sure you will somehow) go up and talk to him. Or kinda give him a gesture next time you give him the look to come to you.

I was with you until you said the 40 year old man, doesn't use social media? Huh? All the ones I know do, I promise but I agree that messaging thru that platform is not the best method of contact....

I agree with this. I don't see an issue with her initiating.

My fella has Facebook. We are not friends on there. It's not been important. I'm currently away for six weeks in South America and although I've shared some photos and a bit of Skype he wanted to see more photos. I said I'd try to put them in the cloud etc but with weak Internet and his crap tech knowledge it didn't work so I told him I'd uploaded them to Facebook already and he can either join and look there or wait until I come home. He chose not to add me and wait. Fair enough.

He was very patient in the beginning. Still is.

At the moment, there's nothing here to go on aside from a look and a nod but he asked for your number so see what happens. Meanwhile, keep your life moving.
I really appreciate this response. Thank you.

I'm a Sag Moon, Merc and Venus. Mars in Gemini. He's a Leo Moon, Taurus Merc, Aries Venus/ Mars.


Aries is DIRECT... With all that aries in him surely he would have made a move already. Unless 1) your friend did not give him the number or 2) he is not interested.

But once again I am surprised with all that aries he needed your friend to get your number!! That I imagine is the actions of someone in kindergarten!!

Aries is direct but he's still a bloke. In the ideal world the bloke would make all the perfect moves and it would work out perfectly but it doesn't work like that.

I think a lot of people here are being way too negative. This isn't even that complicated of a scenario. Sure it was a missed opportunity at the party and your friend isn't helping out that much with reaching out to the guy through her boyfriend but a bunch of people are acting as if you two will NEVER cross paths again.

Did you not just mention this is your friends boyfriend's friend? Did you not just mention that the Taurus asked about you through your friend? Those are all GREAT things here. There will be another gathering I'm sure and you guys will meet again. If you don't wanna wait around, it's not that difficult to just ask your friend "Hey, I really wanna talk to that guy, can I ask your boyfriend if that's okay?" If there's one thing about dudes, we help each other out. I'm sure your friends boyfriend would be happy to pass your number to him no problem.

Again, we're talking about a man here who's almost 40. The chances he doesn't use social media much? Very high. The chances he probably gets a ton of messages from peers but doesn't really look into them on facebook so your message may be lost in the shuffle? Also high.

Don't sit around and wait if you're not willing to and just go straight to the source. Ask your friend or your friend's boyfriend then. If your friend really is a good friend, they'd have no issue helping you out. Otherwise, just be patient and next time you see him again (which I'm sure you will somehow) go up and talk to him. Or kinda give him a gesture next time you give him the look to come to you.
I was with you until you said the 40 year old man, doesn't use social media? Huh? All the ones I know do, I promise but I agree that messaging thru that platform is not the best method of contact....

I'm not saying that all 40 year olds dont use social media. I'm just saying SOME don't, and SOME do. That's all. We can't assume that all of them do.

Was I a fool for waiting to give him my number?
Absolutely. All astrology aside, I think, after you already signaled your interest, most people would take the above as playing games, and probably even feel rejected.

This was a layup for you and you botched it.


Meh. I wasn't trying to play games but my overthinking got in the way. My friend didn't tell him I needed to think about it so if he thinks that then he came to his own conclusion about it.
What did your friend tell him? If she didn't say anything, that's probably worse. Just flat out rejection.


i don't think bulls are that quick to turn and run. if he is interested, he'll still be interested after her wavering.

I agree with this last comment.

Am a Taurus male, seriously, just friend the guy. If he's really interested, he'd be thrilled by the fact that a girl he's into went out of their way to friend them. If he doesn't respond, just keep him on the back on your mind and wait until the next time you guys cross paths but don't keep your hopes up. I say this because some people have facebooks and NEVER USE THEM. Seriously, it happens. Some people simply don't use social media. The other thing you can do too is see if they have Instagrams. But considering his age, it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't that into facebook/social media at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn't completely close the book on this until you actually cross paths with him face to face. We are very very patient and when we come across women that like us (while single), trust me, we remember.

And yes, this is an amazing combo. Scorpio women are soooooooo fascinating.
I agree with this. I don't see an issue with her initiating.

My fella has Facebook. We are not friends on there. It's not been important. I'm currently away for six weeks in South America and although I've shared some photos and a bit of Skype he wanted to see more photos. I said I'd try to put them in the cloud etc but with weak Internet and his crap tech knowledge it didn't work so I told him I'd uploaded them to Facebook already and he can either join and look there or wait until I come home. He chose not to add me and wait. Fair enough.

He was very patient in the beginning. Still is.

Yeah exactly this. I work with plenty of older people and a lot of them don't know how to use social media at all. They have them, but rarely ever check. Some do use it and are just liking everything that shows up on their feed. People are different. Same with their approach on SM.

No worries! I'm surprised though, are the 40 somethings you know really SM-saavy?

Um, first off, I never implied that. Secondly, I'm basing this off of my own personal experiences. If you're not happy about it, I'm sorry that the people aren't me aren't as internet saavy as you are. Yes people your age use the internet, I'm not discounting that (my brother is in his late 30's and is a genius with technology), all I'm saying is that there are SOME people who aren't as saavy in that age bracket. Just like how there can be people in my age bracket that aren't into social media either (yes, that's a thing too).

Some people here take offense over the silliest things and jump to conclusions way too quickly huh?

a) i'm not taking offence.

b) i don't care enough to be unhappy. honey, i got bigger problems than to upset my equilibrium with what you have to say. you're not that important.

c) please don't try to educate me on absolutes

d) it's not jumping to a conclusion when you state that the likelihood that a man approaching 40 doesn't use social media is "very high".

e) This statement "are the 40 somethings you know really SM-saavy" makes you sound incredulous hence my response that us 40 somethings have had a much longer time with the technology than you. young people forget that the world existed before them.

so before you start "jumping to conclusions" as to my reaction, i think you, as you young people say, should check yourself.
