Hi fellow Virgos. Just wanted to ask, how did you end up with your Taurus man? I’ve been crushing on this Taurus man for a very long time, we just reconnected 2 years ago and since we are both still single, I decided to do the first move, only to end up disappointed 😢

Hi, I just want to get some honest insights, especially from Taurus men here or people who understand them well.

I Virgo ☀️, cancer 🌕(27F) have a long history with this guy (27M, Taurus ☀️, Cancer 🌕). He was basically my childhood crush and first love and I always felt it was mutual — when we were younger we are playmates and close to each other, he even asked me if I liked him but I was too shy to admit it at the time. Our families are also connected since childhood and they always tease us to each other. We saw each other a few times at family events or birthdays, and there was always some kind of connection between us, but nothing was ever clearly defined. Fast forward to adulthood, we reconnected after more than 10 years at one fam event when we are both mature enough to reapproach each other, I was the one who initiated the conversation. At that time he said that he was still single and started a new job and etc. after that night I still felt something between us, so I started to follow him on Insta and took the opportunity to reconnect with him. I’ll admit I was the one putting more effort — I would message him, invite him to my events, coffee hangouts and try to keep the connection going. He was responsive and on the go. Until one time, we got drunk with my friends and before he got home I tried to hug him and jokingly confessed that he was my childhood crush but his reaction was to set boundaries instead of reciprocating. After that, I tried to pull back and give space. Then after 2 months I tried to contact him to invite for another hangout with my friends and he still accepted my invitation, it was a short night and I tried to keep things light and casual, did not even try to open up on what happened last time but at the end of the night he was the one who initiated a goodbye 🤗. We got so busy for months after that but we still updated to each other, but not constantly. He also watching my stories from time to time and same on my end.

FF to 2nd half last year, I noticed a shift after I invited him to two consecutive events. He became distant, less responsive, and the energy between us noticeably changed. I thought he was busy and need some space coz he sometimes work on a night shift, so I did not took things personal but deep inside I started to wonder where is this be heading. He also posted subtle emotional content (like comics about love but avoiding it), which made me feel like he might be indirectly expressing something. Because of that, I thought maybe he was just slow, cautious, or needed time so I gave him space as I also dealing with my personal problems.

FF to March this year, I found out he now has a girlfriend (a coworker), and he even introduced her to his family on his birthday. That hit me hard because it felt like he suddenly became capable of something serious — just not with me.

Now I’m trying to understand:

  • From a Taurus perspective, does this sound like someone who ever had real feelings but just wasn’t ready?

  • Is it common for Taurus men to choose someone in their immediate environment (like a coworker) over someone they have deeper history with?

I’m not trying to interfere with his current relationship — I just want clarity for myself so I can fully move on.

Thanks in advance for any honest thoughts.
