Dating the Gay Taurus…
If you have ever heard the phrase "I would like to play with you" and you happen to have a steel clamp attached to your head do not count on a Taurus lover to rescue you. It is not that he would not know how, or be too frightened to do so, it is just that he would be more likely to spend hours trying to figure out the riddle and you would probably end up sans head.
Taurus is an earth sign, probably the most down-to-earth of all earth signs. When it comes to dating he tends to consider his options very carefully. He is not looking for the kind of guy that everyone else is chasing after. He is not looking for the sexy slut that somehow rules every season of the Real World. He is looking for a loyal man that will be there for the long term. He has very little interest in a gay trading card collection. The gay Taurus seeks stability and security in a lover above all other traits.
This is not to say that you will not meet many hot, sexy and seemingly casual Taurus men that are down to get nasty. It just means that if you dig a little you may find that the Taurus man is not seeking a "relationship" with you unless you are the real deal. The gay Taurus is a very patient man; he can afford to be.
Do not let his stoic personality fool you; he is one of the most sensitive signs of the zodiac. His armour is thick, but his skin is thin. Taureans are true romantics, if they love you, you can expect to be put on a pedestal. No worries, you definitely will not be treated like a statue. A Taurus man will love the real you, not the idealistic vision most men see.
A Taurus man does not say, "I love you" as easily as some other zodiac signs, but he will show it in other ways. He will be very generous with his gifts but they certainly will not be senseless or trivial. A Taurus man will be the one to buy you one nice gift instead of a bunch of whimsical rubbish.
Taurus men are very practical by nature and the same applies to sex. He is basic and direct about his sexual pleasure. He is both passionate and sensual and sees little difference between romance and sensuality. He will not wow you with new tricks nightly, but he has more than enough stamina to make up for that.
A Taurus man is a sensual, strong, and sensible man who will not let you down. You will be hard pressed to find a more faithful and affectionate man. When you are ready for someone to share your life with look no farther than a Taurus.
How to attract a Taurus...
You may suspect that a Taurus man is interested in you, but unless you make the first move you will probably never know. A Taurus is a bit slow in making up his mind and if you do not seize the moment it will be lost.
Show a Taurus that you enjoy spending time with them. Spend a bit of time entertaining them and keeping their interest. You will find they will be charming, interesting, and interested in what you say. A Taurus can get a little too deep thinking about things and go on and on. Just interrupt and move on.
A Taurus enjoys fine food and wine, if you are aiming to impress be sure to take him to a really nice restaurant. He will also appreciate a good meal at your place, just be sure to make enough.
Taurus men can be money obsessed, but that can be used to your advantage at this point. Show him your prized possessions he will surely appreciate them. Once you get a Taurus talking he will keep talking, if you are not okay with that you are probably looking at the wrong man. Also, be sure not to forget to compliment a Taurus on their good taste.
Gay Taurus Erogenous Zones…
The neck and throat are the most sensitive area on a Taurus's body, followed by the shoulders. Light touching and kissing on the neck are surely to stimulate. A good idea is to massage a Taurus, all over. Focus with small circular motions around the earlobes and down the collarbone and shoulders especially. On his back lightly trace the area from his hair to the bottom of his spine.
Environments for the Taurus date…
Intimate and lavish outdoor picnics; Outdoor concerts and festivals; Small intimate venues; Dancing under the stars; Long walks; Intimate cuddles outdoors; Exploring outdoors; Relaxing environment; Great food & wine; and much more…
