How to Make a Taurus Man Miss You

If you've fallen for a Taurus, it's likely that you've been charmed by their dependable and honest nature. Taurus men are known for being sweet and reliable, and they appreciate those qualities in a partner, too. If you want to make a Taurus man miss you, you'll have to play up those qualities, all the while using the power of mystery and intrigue to leave him wanting more.

1

Be less available to him.

A Taurus man, like many signs, appreciates a challenge. Make him work to be a part of your busy schedule. Focus on your own interests and keep making plans without him. While you're busy, try your best not to text him. He'll be left wondering what you're up to and, most likely, he'll be so curious that he'll text you to see what's up.^{[1]

- Fill up your schedule with fun friend dates, solo trips, and family time.
- Stay committed to your hobbies and interests. Make time to practice piano, play your favorite sport, and paint. The more you do, the more interested this Taurus man will be by your exciting and full life.
- Distance makes the heart grow fonder, so don't be afraid to give him a little time on his own.^{[3]

Add some mystery to your conversations.

Especially at first, a Taurus doesn't want to know too much too soon. Be strategic and take it slow when it comes to what you reveal to him. It will give him the chance to ask questions and be curious about your life.^{[4]

- After a wild adventure with your friends, don't text him a block of text detailing everything that happened. Say, "You'll never guess what happened today..."
- If he asks if you've ever been to New York City, avoid going into detail about your class field trip in high school. Try, "Yeah, I have a few times."

Be flirty over text.

This can help up the tension in your relationship. Every couple of days (not every day), text him a compliment or send a suggestive message his way. A Taurus man really likes to be admired. Pretty soon, he'll start messaging you in hopes that he'll get another flirty message.^{[6]

- Text him a compliment. You might try, "I love that shirt you're wearing in the picture you posted on Instagram! You've got the best style."
- Send a suggestive message about the last time you hung out. Say something like, "I'm still thinking about last night. Can't wait to be in your arms again."

4

Send him selfies.

Remind him how cute and confident you are. Once a week or so, send a picture of yourself to show him what you're up to (and how great you look!). Taurus men are particularly visual, and he'll really like seeing your face. By sending him selfies, you'll have him lusting after you and excited to make plans again.^{[7]

- Wear an outfit that makes you feel super attractive and take a few photos. Text your favorite picture his way along with the caption, "Thinking of you. What're you up to?"

5

Show off your sense of humor.

A Taurus man wants someone with a stellar personality, not just looks. Try playing up your sense of humor to help you stand out and stick in his mind. Engage in some witty text banter, reference any inside jokes if you have them, or send memes and YouTube clips that you think he'd enjoy. Your sense of humor is one of a kind, and he'll miss the one person that really makes him laugh (you!).
- If you have a class together, send him a text referencing something funny or absurd your professor did that day. Try, "Omg still can't stop laughing at what happened in class today."
- Text him a GIF from his favorite comedy. If his favorite movie is Hot Rod, send over a funny GIF along with the caption, "This made me think of you."
- Save sarcasm for your in-person interactions. A sarcastic text can lead to misunderstandings pretty easily, especially if you don't know each other super well.

6

Wear put-together and fashionable outfits.

Taurus men are usually pretty snappy dressers. They’re attracted to that quality in a partner, too. When you're picking outfits for your dates, add an extra flourish to make your outfits a little nicer. That could look like a nice watch, a pretty necklace, or a chic blazer or sport coat. Your put-together ensembles, and how great you look in them, will stick in his mind when you're gone.^{[8]

- You don't have to change your style to impress him. Just wear the clothes that always make you feel extra good about yourself, like those plaid pants you save for special occasions or your favorite pair of oxfords.
- A signature scent will really catch a Taurus man's attention. If you can, spritz on some perfume or cologne right before your dates.^{[9]

Remain confident in yourself.

Show the Taurus man you fancy that you don't need him. It may seem counter-intuitive, but seeing that you're happy with yourself without his approval will make him want you more. Play up your accomplishments when you text him and be vocal about your thoughts and opinions. Avoid putting yourself down or seeming insecure when you hang out as best you can. It can be hard to do, but your self-assurance will make this Taurus man go after you in no time.^{[10]

- When you're chatting about your passion for trivia, don't be shy about all the trivia nights you've won. Say something like, "I don't tell everyone this, but I'm actually a trivia aficionado..."
- After getting back from a movie date, text him about what you thought of it. You might try, "I loved the characters and the costumes, but some of those plot twists were just too much for me. What did you think?"
- If you struggle to feel confident on dates, that's totally normal. Try giving yourself a pre-date pep talk to boost your self-esteem. You can also repeat positive messages in your head, such as, "I'm super cute and worthy of love" or "I can do this!"

Embrace your sensuality.

Oftentimes, Taurus really values physical compatibility with their partners. If you’re both comfortable, try being extra touchy and flirty when you spend time together. In the bedroom, pay attention to what he likes and ask if you’re not sure.^{[11]

- Touch his shoulder or give him a hug when you greet him. As you get to know him, be physically affectionate through kisses and cuddling.
- Only do what you’re comfortable with. If you’re not ready to be super flirty or physical just yet, start slow. Smile at him in conversation, make direct eye contact, and giggle at his jokes.

9

Let him know how much you care about him.

A Taurus man may need a little reassurance. His feelings for you will only strengthen if you are vocal about how much he means to you. Early on, be flirty and complimentary to show him you've got a crush. As you start seeing each other, write him cute notes about why you like him, give him flowers and gifts, and text him sweet messages throughout the week to show that you care. Pretty soon, he'll want you bad and will likely start doing the same for you.^{[12]

- If you're just getting to know each other, flirt a little. Say something like, "I love that shirt. It's a great look on you" or "You've got such a sweet smile. You've gotta know how handsome you are."
- As you spend more time together, try opening up about your feelings more. Write him a cute letter detailing all the unique things you like about him. You can also try giving him a romantic gift, like flowers or a box of chocolates.

10

Stay by his side and be loyal.

Prove to him that you're in this for the long haul. For a Taurus man to let his guard down and start wanting you when you're away, he'll need to know that you aren't vying for the attention of others behind his back. Give him your full attention when you spend time together, text and call him throughout the week if you're apart, and remain faithful to him if you start dating exclusively.^{[13]

- During your conversations, put your phone away and keep your eyes off the TV. He'll be paying attention to if you're really listening to him, and he'll definitely notice if your mind is elsewhere.
- Text him cute texts throughout the week to let him know that he's on your mind. Try something like, "Last night was so fun :) Hope you've been having a good day" or "Work is so boring without you!"
- Be proud to be his date if you attend an event together. Introduce him to your friends if he doesn't know them and don't ditch him for the night in favor of new or exciting prospects.

Avoid too much contact after you go out together, and don't hound him all the time with a million questions. Instead, give him some space and let him wonder about you.

Don't try to keep track of where the other person is or what they're doing. Instead, keep your phone calls and texts brief and to the point. Remember: it's important to focus on your own life!
