Taurus man came on strong, now pulled back

I’m noticing this is a trend with these Taurs so I like to give him the benefit of the doubt that it’s just how he is but seeking another opinion before I fool myself!


Me & my Taur met via a dating app back in August. We live in different states and not that close. We talked there for about a month before he came to visit me. He was able to cus of his job. He has a job that requires him to travel a lot. So since my state happened to be in his route he came and met me that first time and we instantly clicked. I was attracted to him n him to me. After that day he texted me non-stop everyday and would get upset if I dare took too long to text back. Between September-November he was able to visit me again 3 more times. He always came on very strong in saying that he feels I’d make a great wife and always pushing the idea of wanting to have a child..like soon! I assured him I’m interested but now is not the time. I made sure to slow him down. We would get into small little arguments here n there sometimes but nothing we couldn’t overcome. I realize he’s a very sensitive bull!


After the last time I saw him in November is when I noticed a switch up. He started texting less often. He wasn’t coming on as heavy as he started. Meanwhile I knew he was having trouble at work and his usual work routine was put on pause for about 2 weeks. And I know he gets in a funk when his work is off balance. Knowing this, I tried to give him space and accept not texting him or him texting me for several days at a time. Somewhere in the beginning of December his work schedule went back to it’s norm. I texted him if everything was ok, he said yes I just hope things with life get better. I told him I’m here for him for anything and he really appreciated it.


I tried to keep contact with him by texting but I noticed I kept having to be the one to initiate convo. If I didn’t text or reach out for a couple of days it didn’t bother him like it used to. I finally told him how I was bothered by this change and how he doesn’t reach out. He said ok I’ll just make sure to reach out more often then. And he said he’s been this way because he has to take care of things with work. We had a long convo about his life goals and expenses he wants to make once he gets his money up. I ask him if he still cares to keep this thing between us going n he says yes.


I understand and respect completely he’s a workaholic and I love that. But is this sudden switch up really just about work and him being focused? Sometimes I feel he’s gotten sick of me, or he found someone else, or he’s just gotten comfortable. How long is this “colder,distant” Taurus going to last? I try to stay confident n keep busy doing my own thing, but I must admit I miss the Taurus I met a couple months ago.


Help a confused girl out that accidentally fell in love please!
Either the bait n switch, lost interest, busy, actually

Has a gf/wife


Neways... people make time for what they want
If it helps, my Aries bf became distant recently as well. Work became very stressful for a few reasons. One thing is he got into some trouble. He still hasn’t talked about it in detail. He basically shut down. That’s how some guys deal with stress. Sounds like your bf is going through something similar. I gave him some space and stopped overwhelming him with my texts. He finally started warming up again.


I’ve also seen this happen with other guys I’ve dated. They need space when dealing with problems. You just need to be supportive and let things evolve naturally even if you feel anxiety over not knowing if it’s about you because maybe it isn’t.
It seems like the thrill of the chase is over for him. It really sucks that men lose interest over time and women become more interested. I don't know how people find and have lasting connections anymore tbh. I guess just let him initiate again, even if that means he may not. At least you will have your answer.

Couldn’t agree more!
Too much to read


But if someone pulls away let them go. ♥️
Kinda hard to date long distance during a pandemic. Especially with him doing all the traveling to you.
UPDATE (for anyone who cares lol)


Y’all were right, just a lot of games. Don’t believe the sweet talkers!!! But I’ve switched to the Pisces side now lmao hitting it off well for now with him, but always be on top of your game ladies and don’t lose yourself!
Aaand 2 weeks later he reaches back out again. Smh, too late now.
As I mentioned before, I’ve moved on with a new Pisces man.(nothing serious, just doing my thing) I cut all contact with my ex-Taurus for 2 weeks. He reached out to me after not contacting him, of course turning it on me by asking where I’ve been. I told him I’ve been busy, we talked on the phone for a few mins, nothing crazy. Just asking if I still care blaze blaze blah. I played it cool n said I’m good just busy. He tried pulling the whole sweet talk thing but again, I played it cool & unbothered. Been almost a week since that small talk. What’s the point of this? Just to throw his crumbs n see if he can keep me around when he needs attention? Smh
you should just tel him you are not interested (assuming you no longer are).


these boards are often quick to criticise men who string women along. he obviously doesn't realise that you he has missed the boat with you. (again, assuming that he has).
