My bf never posts pics of us on social media and barely brings me around his friends, unless we go on a double date. He'll tag me sometimes, but that's all. Now I'm not saying any of these are deal breakers, and it doesn't really bug me (it did in the beginning but I've learned not to let it bother me) but I'm just curious as to why he does this? I overthink a lot, and I used to think maybe he's ashamed of my looks or something. But when I do see his friends they all always tell me he talks about me a lot, and is proud to have me as his girl. I'm wondering, does he do this because he's afraid his friends will try to hit on me? I've had at least 6 of his "close" friends try to hit on me or hook up with me when we broke up for a while, and when we first met, his older brother tried to hit on me. Is he just being protective? Do you know any Taurus who do this?

I have to ask how old all y'all are beeeeeecause I feel like adult men don't hit on each others ex's. It's part of the bro code.
Unless he wasn't even your boyfriend in the first place and y'all was just fucking. Then it's fair game.

Pretty much agree with everyone. Taurus man myself. Tend to keep private life just that. Got a circle of family, friends and work in life and social media. Best that these circles don't meet.
Sounds like your boyfriend has low quality friends. Least he has a high quality girlfriend.
If i were seeing someone i would only introduce them to only safe people.
God the place i work at i would never introduce any of the 'men' to my girlfriend.

This dude sounds like he's got awful friends/family for hitting on you, but in any case, I like to keep my personal life private. Though if and when it gets serious, I will for sure be posting about us.

My dude doesn't have social media so I can't really comment on the pic thing.
He's introduced me to his family, imediate and extended, we go on overnight camping trips with his friends, dinners with his coworkers. I feel like real life interaction trumps social media hands down.
Have you met his family? When he introduced you to his friends how'd he do it?
"This is my girl xxx"
Or...
"This is my gf xxx"

They say that the less your relationship appears on social media, the more likely you are to be a happy couple.

@Eigthhouse
I don't believe that you and your Bull are in an exclusive relationship.
However,
I strongly believe that the two of you are REALLY feeling each other and are both insecure about where this potential relationship is headed.
He's using his friends to 'hit' on you to test your loyalty (ALL of his friends are assholes? nah,I don't buy it, Bulls choose their inner circle wisely, never an entourage, just a handful of people that they can trust).
If he was 100% convinced that you belonged to him...Being the typical BULL, if the horns came out, he would have punched his friends in the face, or just dropped them cold turkey.
Your current setup isn't stable.
His insecurities are triggering your insecurities.
Jeane is right, FB validation are either for narcissists or insecure people who need to validate their relationships.
Something tells me with you...it's the latter.
His insecurities are for him to figure out and navigate through, not to get you in some insecure frenzy.
FaceBook is FakeBook. Don't believe everything you read.
As for me being a Bull,
It's simple.
RESPECT my privacy (don't expose anything about our relationship on social media)
Don't fuck with my man
Don't fuck with my money.
I hope this answers your question.

Taurus don't like people touching their stuff especially the men. Yes he is possessive of you. And honestly the people who post their relationships all over social media are the ones that have the most issues and drama. Why does everything need to be televised nowadays? He should be enough without the public.
You may be worried he's leaving his page clear for other females to see he's "single" but to a Taurus man that's not the case. They are private and possessive. Take the social media thing with a grain of salt Hun.
