8 Big Tips for Successfully Dating a Taurus

We get it—Tauruses can be extremely crush-worthy.

Born between April 20 and May 20, the sign is known for being one of the hardest-working in all of the zodiac, respected for their dedication, patience and loyalty. Once you win their hearts, they make devoted and adoring partners, but if you're not there yet, we're happy to help. Whether you've just started developing feelings for a special Taurus in your life or are already dating them, we have some tips on making the relationship a happy and successful one below.

Be Patient and Ready to Commit

Once Tauruses are ready to go all in on love, they can make some of the best partners out there—but to be fair, that can take a while. Tauruses often take a long time to fully open up to people, and they're not ready to give their heart to just anyone. This kind of important choice can't be rushed, so when you're in a new relationship, you'll want to be patient and give them time to process things and make any important decisions. Obviously, this means they want a full and unquestioned commitment in return. Proving your own persistence and dedication to them is the first step.

 

Pamper Them

Tauruses often have a lot on their plate, making it a priority to take care of others. The irony is that they love to be pampered way more than they like to dote on others. The sign is governed by the planet Venus, which rules love, beauty and the home, and so they tend to be drawn to material possessions and expensive things. Flattery tends to go a long way with them, as do meaningful gifts. They're also food lovers who enjoy being fed, but don't forget that you can also pamper them with words, letting them how much you appreciate and respect them. Make them feel seen when they do incredible things.

Put an Effort Into Appearances

Remember when we mentioned that Taurus appreciates beauty? This means that, yes, you will be way more likely to win their affections if you put a decent amount of effort into your appearance. They value aesthetics, though often they care less about what you naturally look like and more into how you present yourself. They're turned off by messy or sloppy appearances, so work on putting yourself together neatly and tidying up your hair. Essentially, you want to be someone they'll be happy to show off to friends, family and colleagues.

Let Them Take Charge

Tauruses tend to be happiest when they feel like they're in control. They like to take charge of situations so that they have a finger on the pulse and know what's going on around them at all times, and they're not big fans of randomness or surprises. At the same time, you can't just let them handle everything, because they're likely to quickly burn out. Instead, pay attention to what tasks they dislike doing or struggle with, and offer to take those off their plate if it makes sense. After all, they also prefer partners who show a similar amount of ambition, cleverness and motivation.

 

Be Prepared for Their Stubbornness

Yes, Tauruses really are as stubborn as the bull that represents them in the zodiac. Because they're so knowledgeable, they often tend to be right, which leads them to becoming convinced that they're always right. When it comes to the more frivolous things, it's important to learn to compromise with Taurus when they refuse to budge and not make a mountain out of a molehill. It's tougher when these matters are more important, but remember to stick to your guns—and that there's power in making them think something was their idea in the first place.

Be Open to a Routine

Tauruses tend to thrive best within structured routines, and you'll fit much better into their lives if you're happy to adjust to a routine, too. They love feeling a sense of control about their situation and when things can be easy, reliable and predictable. Routines help them stay grounded, balanced and happy, and while they can absolutely rise to the occasion when unforeseen obstacles arise, they never prefer it. Give them plenty of time to plan and adjust anytime you plan to disrupt their typical calendar.

Let Them Enjoy Their Downtime

If you've only seen a Taurus in work or social environments, you might not realize that when they're at home and have downtime, they can be one of the laziest signs of the zodiac. They work hard, and after all of that hustle and bustle, they've earned the chance to sit back, get cozy and do absolutely nothing. During this time, some Tauruses will need their space, but others love to use it for quality bonding time. Remember that you don't have to go out and spend money to have a spectacular time when you're with the people you care about most.

 

Trust Them

A Taurus's love and trust must be earned, but once you do, they tend to be serious relationship material. They're caring and dedicated, with a willingness to go out on a limb and make plenty of compromises and sacrifices for those they love. Stability is important to them, and they pride themselves in nurturing what they've built and giving the relationship what it needs to thrive and grow. Basically, you'll get back what you give, so put your trust in them and see where it takes you.
