Are you in a relationship with a Taurus man, but you’re not sure how committed he is to you?
Let me show you some sneaky ways to tell.
When a Taurus man decides you’re the one, he shows it through:
- His honesty with you
- The stability he provides your relationship, both financially and in practical ways
- …By being boring with you?!
Yep, that’s right!
Routine is a Taurus man’s favorite thing in the world (next to food).
So get ready to share in the glory of all his meal prepping rituals and workout regimens if he wants you to be part of his life.
If you think I’m joking, I’m not!
This is how you know you and your Taurus man are going to make it.
In this guide, I’ve listed the top 10 signs I would look for myself if a client wanted to know whether their Taurus man was serious about them.
I’m also going to get into some hairier subjects like how long it takes Tauruses to commit and what to do if he won’t commit to you, so stay tuned.
When a Taurus Man Decides You’re the One
When a Taurus man decides you’re the one, he fully commits to your relationship.
His main focus becomes building a future with you.
As an earth sign, Taurus expresses itself best through physical means.
So a committed Taurus man shows his devotion through his actions.
Through making tangible plans for your future.
Through the ways he shapes his living space and environment to accommodate you, like buying that special neck pillow you need to sleep at his place.
He will put his money where his mouth is and build the life you want together from the ground up.
He’s not merely talk.
As solid as the earth itself, when a Taurus man’s mind is up his mind about you, he doesn’t waver.
Here are key examples of his behavior when he knows it’s going to be you and him against the world (and he loves it that way).

He Says It
A Taurus man who is committed to you says so.
When he knows you’re the one for him, he doesn’t ask for space or tell you he’s not sure he wants a relationship right now.
No matter how emotionally vulnerable or lovey-dovey he acts, if he’s avoiding defining your relationship, his mind is not made up about you yet.
On the contrary, if he’s saying the actual words that you two are in a no-question-about-it monogamous relationship, then he means it.
He won’t blow you off if you want to ask him about it.
It’s easy to be honest with you because he feels it.
You’re his and he’s yours, and that’s that.
He Stops Going Back and Forth With You
Did your Taurus man ever run hot and cold with you when you first started dating?
If he’s sure you’re the one for him, you’ll notice that that isn’t a thing anymore.
He doesn’t pull away from you randomly and make you wonder what’s going on with him.
In fact, he’s always there.
Literally.
He’s napping on your chaise lounge right now.
When he’s not at your place and you’re not at his, you always know where to find your Taurus man.
He’s responsive when you text him.
He doesn’t disappear for days to weeks without communication.
And he never hesitates when it comes to loving you.
He Plans Ahead Financially
The Taurus man is already a saver rather than a spender.
But he’ll be saving his pennies specifically to do the stuff he wants to do together as a couple now.
Whether that’s a vacation in Europe next year or a down payment on a house, he’ll be reworking the budget to fit it in.
He feels an instinct to be in good financial shape.
You may think he’s being stingy saying it’s cheaper to cook at home, but then he surprises you with a decked-out cat palace for the future kitty you said you wanted to adopt together.
Typically, he only spends money where he sees the necessity of it.
But this will definitely include making your life as a couple cozy, secure and enjoyable.
He Makes Living Together a Natural Next Step
Tauruses thrive on comfort and closeness.
They will see living with their committed romantic partner as common sense, because it means not having to schlep to their place to eat dinner and cuddle together every night.
It just makes sense to a faithful Taurus man that you move in.
But this will only be the logical next step for him if he’s confident that this relationship is going to stick and it’s everything he wants.
He may be talking about looking for a new apartment that’s big enough for both of you.
Or maybe he’s just slowly moving all his exercise equipment and Bullet blender into your apartment.
This would scare the daylights out of him if he didn’t see the two of you as a package deal.
You’re Part of His Routines
Taurus men and their routines, am I right?
If you know a Taurus man intimately, that means you’re intimately acquainted with his workout schedule, Thursday night soccer practice schedule and every other routine in his life.
Do you play a role in many of these routines?
Does he expect you to come watch him at soccer practice?
Do you do the grocery shopping while he cooks the meals?
Maybe you work out together on Wednesdays.
Or he coordinates gym day around your book club meetup so you can get done at the same time and have the evening together.
These are all signs that the Taurus man doesn’t expect you to go anywhere.
There’s More Than Just a Sexual Connection
What’s your go-to activity that you and your Taurus man do when you spend quality time with him?
If it’s “it” (you know), then maybe you can start encouraging your Taurus to find pleasure in doing other things with you.
Because when hanging out together doesn’t revolve around getting the sheets messy, that instills a deep value for various aspects of your relationship.
Don’t get me wrong, a healthy relationship with a Taurus will involve plenty of sex.
But the focus of being together is not on that specifically when he wants to be serious with you.
It’s the whole experience of being together that compels him.
The touch of your skin when you’re not noticing sitting next to him.
The happiness he gets from playing a song for you that he made up on piano.
Just chilling together and talking nonsense.
There’s equal joy in all the little things you do together.
You Feel Kind of Married to Him
Being with a committed Taurus man is not about heart-racing adventures and excitement.
It’s more like how you’d expect to feel 10-15 years into being a married couple.
Things have slowed down.
You’ve settled into life together and comfort, relaxation and routine are the dominant themes of your relationship.
You look forward to trying a new pasta recipe together.
You’ve both got your nighttime reading materials on either side of the bed that you peruse before you go to sleep at night.
Your Taurus man never goes and buys Ben and Jerry’s for himself.
He buys two pints, because obviously you’re going to need one too.
Jealousy is not even an issue in your relationship anymore and neither one of you would even dream of trying to kick up some drama.
You’re way past that.
What’s exciting to the both of you now is watching your favorite true crime series on Netflix and ignoring your texts from other people.
Talking About Kids Doesn’t Bother Him
Did you ever bring up the subject of starting a family one day?
How did that chat go?
If the Taurus man acted like it was a totally normal conversation to have, that’s a great sign.
By the way, I’m not talking about making vague statements that maybe you’ll be a parent someday.
I’m talking about sitting the Taurus man down and saying, “Look, I’m not dating casually. I’m dating for marriage and my goal is to start a family in the next three years.”
That’s the level of directness a Taurus man is OK with if this relationship is rock solid for him.
He would tell you if he didn’t want that or if he wasn’t ready to give that to you on your time scale.
You Feel He Trusts You
Lack of trust is the main barrier to moving into a committed relationship with a Taurus man.
This is why, when he decides you’re the one, you know that he’s conquered this demon.
And it shows.
It shows from the way he never takes steps backwards in your relationship.
The way he doesn’t get grumpy when you say you’re going out with friends (indicating that he’s not insecure about who you’re meeting, if there will be other guys there, etc.).
He’s stopped testing you on how honest you’re being with him and whether you’ll stay if he stops chasing you.
It feels like a weight has been lifted and he’s present with you at all times.
When he trusts your love for him and believes you won’t flake out, run off or betray him, you know he’s ready for the next chapter of your lives.
Time Will Tell
If you still don’t feel sure about your Taurus man’s devotion to you, I would encourage you to be patient.
Allow him to continue showing you through his behavior over time.
Taurus is a very steady, consistent zodiac sign.
They will prove what’s in their hearts by the reliability of their actions.
You’ll feel as loved and supported by the Taurus man in six months to a year as you do today if he believes you’re the one.
Even if you try, you won’t find any evidence to the contrary.
Nothing will change—in a good way.
So just give it time.
You’ll be able to tell from how stable and secure your relationship is that this is for real.
How a Taurus Man Knows He’s Ready to Commit
A Taurus man knows he’s ready to commit when there are no more questions in his mind about your loyalty and whether you want the same things.
He’s tested you every way he can think of and you’ve passed every time.
Commitment readiness is a feeling that he gets more than a rational conclusion he comes to.
Though he will do lots of rationalizing along the way as you date, silently measuring your compatibility and deciding whether you can live peaceably with each other’s flaws.
It just clicks for him one day.
Suddenly your Taurus boyfriend understands not just with his head, but with his whole body that you’re the one.
It has nothing to do with missing you or longing for you.
It’s a recognition that you’re everything he wants and he has no need to fish through the dating pool anymore.
But there’s also one more element at play in his decision to commit to you.
It also hinges on your expectations of the relationship with your Taurus man.
If he knows you expect a committed relationship and you won’t settle for anything less, he’ll work towards giving you that if he cares about you.
It may take him some time to feel ready, but that will be his goal.
When a Taurus man is being a slouch in a relationship, it’s often because he felt no influence from you on the outcome.
Maybe you didn’t tell him you were looking for commitment.
Especially if you’ve been giving the Taurus man all the comforts of a committed relationship without taking a stand on what you want, he can get lazy and drag his feet.
How Long Does It Take a Taurus to Commit?
This is not a question that can be answered in a simple sentence.
There’s no specific time requirement for a Taurus to commit.
Some do it in a matter of months.
Others drag it out to a near-calendar year.
There are many different influences that go into the length of time it takes a Taurus to commit.
How well do they know you?
How much time have they gotten to spend with you, observing you and learning to trust you?
Have you been giving nothing but positive feedback to the Taurus in terms of your dedication and loyalty?
Or have you been unsure of what you want, unwilling to commit yourself?
These are all pieces of the puzzle for the Taurus to put together before he can give you his heart on a silver platter.
But it probably won’t be a super quick process.
Tauruses don’t rush through anything.
Love is a dance, not a race.
Taurus Man Has Trouble Committing
If the Taurus man you’re seeing has trouble committing to you, I would start with a conversation.
Ask him directly what he wants and whether you’re in that picture.
Taurus men are very honest and direct when asked point-blank questions.
If he claims to want you in his life, but for some reason he’s holding back from committing to you, then there’s only one thing to do.
Let him know how you want to be treated.
Give him something to work with. Maybe he doesn’t realize how he affects you.
If he says he needs to think about it, then give him room to do that.
You don’t have to cut him off, but this will mean not hanging out every single weekend and making yourself constantly available to him.
Make your own life your priority until he has an answer for you, but make sure you’re also treating him respectfully and tenderly.
You don’t want to ignore him.
Continue answering his texts and being open with him.
You’re just not rewarding him with unfettered access to you if he’s not going to be the one for you.
Trust me, if he really wants to be with you, he’ll come to you and ask for you to give him that chance.

I explain this and other red flags in my article 21 Signs a Taurus Man Is Playing You.

In a word, cuteness.
Being kind, sweet and adorable by sending him “Good morning, handsome” texts and inviting him to join you under the blankets for some spooning send him over the moon.

Do Taurus men say “I love you”?
Yes, Taurus men are happy to spill the beans and tell you they love you first.
They’ll tell you they love you throughout your relationship, too.
But I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to tell you constantly.
Consistently, yes, but not necessarily every day.
It really depends on the individual Taurus man and other planetary placements in his birth chart, especially Mercury, Venus and the Moon.
But in general, Taurus men are not shy about dropping an “I love you” text or telling you straight to your face.
Will a Taurus man chase you?
A Taurus man will chase you if he thinks you’re worth chasing.
But he’s kind of lazy in the beginning.
OK, maybe not lazy, but hesitant perhaps.

I wrote about how to make a Taurus man chase you if you’re interested in that.

Far and away, the best strategy to make a Taurus man miss you is to do really well without him.

He fancies himself a self-starter type and believes he can succeed at whatever he sets his mind to.

If you show that you’re out there living your life and making it what you always dreamed it could be, it will turn his head.

Why does Taurus man pull away?
There are lots of different reasons why a Taurus man might pull away.
Simple as it seems, it’s often that he’s just scared of his emotions.

So what if they commit to the wrong person?

Not to worry, though.
The Taurus man will be back once he’s realized he can’t live without you.
