How to Flirt with a Taurus Man Through Text

Be friendly and upbeat.

A good-natured Taurus likes to take things slow and get to know you. Before you start flirting with him in earnest, send fun and friendly texts that allow you to build up trust and comfort with one another. Text him to let him know you're thinking of him, ask him questions about himself, and send funny videos to make him smile. "So tell me: what was the absolute best cartoon you watched as a kid? ????" "What kind of music are you into? Let's swap playlists! ????" "Since we're both total dog people, I thought you'd enjoy this hilarious video! ????" Use emojis to add extra warmth and friendliness to your texts!

Compliment his best qualities.

Taurus guys like to be recognized for their practical skills and intelligence. Of course, you can go ahead and compliment his appearance too! Make your Taurus feel valued by pointing out specific qualities you appreciate and by being sincere. Compliments are also a great way to get him feeling more affectionate toward you without being outright suggestive. "Every time we talk, I learn something from you. That's why talking to you is so fun! ????" "How do you get your hair to stay so perfect all day long?! ????" "You always try to do the right thing. It's really admirable!"

Ask for his advice.

A sensible and constructive Taurus wants to feel useful. According to astrologer Angel Eyedealism, Taurus "is very thick-skinned and practical." So, he'll be flattered if you come to him looking for help or advice. Pick something you know he'll be good at, such as a DIY project at home. He's naturally quite hands-on and logical, so anything practical will be a good option. He also likes money and cares a lot about financial success, so try asking him for a few money-saving tips. "Building this bookshelf is a nightmare! Any chance you can come to my rescue? ????" "It's time for some spring cleaning! ???? Got any organization tips for me? You're so good at it!" “Can you recommend any resources to help me make a monthly budget? I figured you would—you’re so wise with your finances!”

Text about food.

Fine food and good cooking are always of interest to a Taurus guy. Snap a picture of your best homemade meals and send them to your Taurus, or talk about your all-time favorite restaurants. Taurus guys tend to be real foodies, so highlight either your culinary ability or your own great taste in food. "Check out the paella I made for dinner! It took me a while to perfect my recipe, but I'm proud of how this came out. ????" "I'm picky about my coffee, but I trust your taste. ???? Know any good cafes to try?" "That new Italian bistro looks incredible! Wanna check it out? I need to go with someone who appreciates good pesto as much as I do."

Show off your intelligence.

Impress your practical Taurus with smart texts that engage his mind. Find a shared interest and text him interesting facts or research you've done. Tauruses have an intellectual side, so they love to learn new things. Sharing your knowledge will make him curious to see what else you know. "Fun fact: Cleopatra's reign in Egypt was closer to the moon landing than the construction of the Great Pyramids. ???? Crazy!" "It was super fun chatting about marine life the other day—good to know we both find it fascinating! ???? Did you know that Greenland sharks can live for over 400 years?

Be subtle and flirty.

Attract this Taurus with coy texts once you lay the groundwork of friendship. Remember that Taurus guys (like all earth signs) tend to be more conservative when it comes to romance—dirty talk and nude photos won't impress him when he feels like it's happening too fast. Stick with classy, subtle flirts that indicate your interest without being explicit. "I have this song stuck in my head, and it reminds me of you." "I started watching that show you recommended, and I'm totally hooked! You know me so well. ????" "I smile whenever I see your name pop up on my phone. I just can't help it! ????" "Having my phone at 2% battery and using the last of it to text you? …Worth it. ????" The time for more steamy, seductive texts will come. Taurus guys also have a lot of passion! Be modest at first, go at his pace, and let him tell you when he's ready for more.

Send flattering photos.

Taurus guys are sensual, so they'll appreciate visually appealing texts. While nude and revealing photos are still too much for a Taurus at this stage, he'll love seeing all of your cutest selfies. Snap photos of yourself doing something fun or wearing your favorite outfit. Leave something to the imagination, and he'll be hungry for more. "I'm back from the hair salon! What do you think?" "This cafe has great drinks AND cool lighting! I had to take a pic. ????" "Going for a run this morning! This is my "ready to set a new personal best" face!"

Open up to him.

A dependable Taurus needs open communication from his partner. As astrologer Angel Eyedealism notes, Taurus is "very sensual (not sexual). They're a touchy feely type of sign." He likes to be involved in a significant other's life, and he only feels comfortable with a partner who can be vulnerable and honest with him. Share more personal details with him to show him that you trust him implicitly, and he'll trust you in return. "I have a big family! I've got 4 siblings and over 20 cousins, and I love hanging with all of them." "I've always wanted to travel but never been able to. Someday I'm going to visit Paris, France! ???? Where would you want to go, if you could go anywhere?"

Support him.

Recognition of his strong work ethic excites the Taurus man. Odds are your Taurus man is a hard worker; he has many goals and a steadfast determination to meet them. Show him you care by sending supportive texts when he's seeking a job promotion or putting in a lot of hours at work one week. "Good luck today! I believe in you 100%. ????" "You did amazing at the competition. Nobody works harder than you, and it paid off big time! ????" "You're pretty much unstoppable when you set your mind to something. It's inspiring! ????"

Prove you're reliable and consistent.

A down-to-earth Taurus is attracted to consistency. Text him when you say you will, and establish a routine so he can get used to a steady pattern of texts from you. For example, you could start sending him a "good morning" text each day or text him sometime in the evening hours once you're both done with work. Show him that you'll be a consistent presence in his life! "Good morning, handsome! ☀️" "Hey there! Work got a little crazy today. ???? How was your day?" "Hey! Checking in as promised to let you know my plane landed. ???? Let's chat later tonight!"

Be exclusive and loyal.

As a fixed sign, a stubborn Taurus won't play hard-to-get with a crush. He wants to feel like you’re available and easy to be with right from the start. Even if you haven’t made your relationship official, make it clear to him that you’re not texting or flirting with other people. Tell him that you’ve only got eyes for him, and he’ll be eager to take your relationship to the next level. “You understand me like nobody else does. I feel lucky to have found you! ????” “I deleted Tinder as soon as we matched because I found the guy I want to be with. ????”

Wait calmly for replies.

Double-texting will make the slow-paced Taurus feel pressured. Send him a text and then let him reply in his own time. If it takes him a while to respond to you, it's safe to assume that it's not a reflection of how much he likes you—he's probably just busy. Taurus guys are slow texters and like to take their time when exploring relationships, so let him have the space he needs.
