Will he stop being friends with me?

I feel that I'm starting to irritate my Taurus friend a bit, but only because I get bothered by certain things he does and I don't know how not to confront EVERYTHING that I'm bothered by.

For example. I didn't hear from him for a few days last week and he randomly texts me on Sunday "tats on my arm." I'm like "what are you talking about?" and he waits for HOURS to text back "I got tatted up this weekend." I'm like "It took you 10hrs to text me that?" and there is a TWO DAY delay with him saying yesterday "I know your not talking?" Okay, I'm irritated by that and I let him know that he could have text that to me two days ago. It ends with him apologizing, but I feel that every-time we talk I'm on him about something and he's apologizing about something.

He text today "are you mad at that?" and I text "nah, just irritated etc" and I haven't heard from him again. It's been about a good 6hrs, so he still doesn't get the point to stop texting me without having something to say. btw, I've told him before "Don't text me unless you have a question or something."

I just feel that one of these days he's going to blow up on me because I've been on his back for a little minute now, but only because I'm irritated. He also gets in the mood of making suggestions if he feels I need help with something. I mean, technically, that's sweet, but please don't keep suggesting different things back to back if I'm not asking for your help. I kind of got on him about a week ago about that too, and I notice he'll take a long break from texting me when I get on him, but if I'm still irritated by his previous actions then there's no way I'm going to ignore it, so I get to reminding him of something he did and it all goes in circles.

I'm just wondering when will he blow up and cut me off? He's not doing anything THAT bad on my end, but I'm pretty sure I'm grating his nerves. I bet he calls me all kind of names in his mind.

He did say a few weeks ago that he likes getting under my skin because he misses me, but I brushed it off cause you never know whats said for a reaction. He plays so many darn games, so I'm wondering if this is all fun to him? Either way, something has to give lol. I really don't think I can keep this up.

When will he stop being friends? When you say or do something that really hurt his feelings and he figures you don't care. When you don't care enough to react. But he will likely still care. Just mope over you not liking him. If he teases you and it stirs you up and makes you mad, that is what keeps him coming back to irritate you. Not because he wants you mad, but he likes that he can get a rise out of you. He likely finds his jokes really funny even though you don't. And he is pulling your strings for attention because it is fun.

That's the thing I always wonder about, if I've said something to hurt his feelings, because he will disappear for a few hours or a few days when I say certain things. Then I'm left to wonder if I was too harsh, but he always bounces back with the same ole. If he texts me again I think I'm going to ignore him, but it really does feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing by doing that *sigh* Then when he apologizes I'm cool and I'm sucked back in for him to do it all over again smh. It really seems to be all fun and games to him. I still haven't heard from him and watch I get a one-liner text tomorrow or Saturday(well Sunday since he's disappears on his Saturdays) continuing what was said earlier today.

I feel like I'm getting screwed here and I don't like it.

What a darn coincidence! I just got off the phone with the little rascal. He called and her rarely ever calls, how weird. I'm basically back at square one. We get along fine on the phone whenever we do talk, its just the whole texting thing where there is a lot of miscommunication leading to irritation.

I just dislike that I can't seem to be mad at him for too long. That's an uncomfortable position for me lol.

Your sign wouldn't happen to be a Leo, would it? cos this sounds a lot like Taurus and me and how we relate. once as he was working, I passed by and told him that I was going to email him later, he said thanks for the warning and his tone was kinda cool. I have learned not to let his tone bother me so much because most of the time he is teasing. He is quick with his comebacks and seldom thinks things out before he says them. He likes to think he shoots from the hip, lol. But to some people his manner is abrasive although he is one of the kindest guys I have ever known. Mind you, when he crosses the line and does offend me, he knows it right away too and I expect him to deal with it. But as for taking everything he does or says seriously, you will either learn not to sweat it or you will drive yourself crazy wondering why you still want to talk to him, lol. He has a certain charm, doesn't he? He only teases people he likes. He likes attention. He likes taking you off guard and he even likes that he can tick you off and you will react. What does he get from it? Proof that someone cares. Taurus guy is probably not liking your efforts to set some rules because he doesn't want to be controlled but disrespect is something different. He understands respect and he knows what it means to hurt someone's feelings. He is likely more needy than you are hence this shows for attention but just maybe you need something from him too. After all, he is still in your life.

No, I'm not a Leo, but I have a Leo moon. Does that count lol?

Yeah, his tone is pretty cool too, but mine is just as cool and I'm just as abrasive, probably even more than he is. We use to work together and I was much more comfortable around him then I've been texting.

I've noticed that most Taurus guys seem to have a charm about them. I'm use to cutting people off if they annoy me but Taureans make it a bit impossible, which I don't like lol. I could see my friend liking the attention, but it all seems pointless from my view. I'm getting nothing out of it but "worked nerves," while he's probably giggling to himself that he's literally pulling my strings. It's like we could be catching up and having a normal conversation instead of playing games, but I guess I'll have to suck it up and work around his schedule and when he's finished being entertained. ugh lol.

I see what you mean by it all

continued....I see what you mean by it all shows that I care, which is another reason I probably will never cut him off. I don't want him to ever think I don't care. I can actually fault myself for some of this because I've cornered him in many ways, and the result is me getting stuck with him and being screwed in the process lol. I'm definitely learning lessons with him, so maybe that's why he's still here.

Lol ima libra but both of my best friends are taurus. Your friend loves the attention you give him and thrives on the fact that your female and interested in his life. I've never understood their "game" though. They both keep women at an arms length, but really want the women to throw that arm out of the way and grab um (preferably infront of another person). I feel like with both of them the girl always has to make the first move. They love peace and harmony like us libras, but they also love the spotlight (and will never admit it). Honesty is also a good approach. He may beat around the bush for appearances, but if YOU don't he will defiantly respect that. I love Taurus they have a great sense of quality and what stuff is really worth

LoL. I've noticed that they are not that aggressive in pursuit. They seem to be pretty persistent in being around you if they like you, but I also get the impression that the woman has to make the first move if she wants it to go anywhere. I'm always shocked to read of women saying that the Taurus pursued them hard.

He's the king of beating around the bush. Its interesting to hear that he may respect a more straight-forward approach to things because I couldn't be subtle or miss the point even if I was paid to do so. The spotlight, they definitely do love. Another Taurus guy I worked with would have women at the job ALL around him and he loved it lol.

Funny thing is I've missed both of his text messages today. My phone wasn't near me for hours the first time and about an hour ago he texted me and I'm just now getting it. I just went on and told him I'm keeping my mouth shut from now on...me and my luck smh. I probably won't hear from him til next week now.

There was this girl my taurus buddy was dating for a while and he used to miss like obvious ques shed send him and he told me she once had to ask him "so when are you gonna make a move"... I dunno if he's just tryin (emphasis on the TRYING) to be Rediculously mysterious and aloof but... She left him after a while.

My friend would always say that he wasn't good at reading signs of interest. We hung around each other a lot and I could tell that so many girls that worked there liked him, but he could never see it. I would be like "She likes you, I can tell" and he'd say "Nah, I don't think she likes me like that." Sometimes the obvious would miss him, so I can't really say if it's an act with them or not lol. I guess if you aren't literally throwing yourself at them then they are forever unsure.
