How to Tell if a Taurus Woman Likes You

She takes every opportunity to touch you.

Tauruses are physical beings and express their love through physical touch. She’ll go out of her way to touch you if she likes you. A Taurus woman may have trouble expressing her emotions verbally, so she’ll make up for it by holding your hand, caressing your arm, or putting her head on your shoulder. Stay cool and play into her touch by putting your arm around her or squeezing her hand back. When you’re around her, does she scooch closer so that your shoulders touch? When she laughs near you, does she place a hand on your shoulder or leg? When you see her, does she run up to you and give you the biggest hug?

She goes out of her way to make you comfortable.

A Taurus woman is set in her routine but she’ll break it just to make you happy. She wants you to be comfortable, so she may share her routines with you. Perhaps she shows you how she unwinds from a busy day with some Netflix or she recommends the perfect essential oils to help you decompress.

She sends you romantic texts.

A flirtatious “good morning” message means she’s thinking about you. A Taurus woman is all about routine, but she’ll go against her instincts and break her regular pattern to check in on you. Maybe she sends you a playful “Hey!” at the beginning of the day or a flirtatious “????” during lunch. Take the hint and text her right back. Keep your text back short and charming to capture her attention—add in a compliment for some extra brownie points! “Good morning. I can’t wait to see you today.” “I would love to hang out again soon! You looked great last night btw”

She gives you “the look.”

A Taurus woman won’t go into something blindly. You may catch her staring at you more often because she’s thinking through the logistics of a possible relationship. She’s assessing the situation, wondering when would be the most logical time to approach you. Smile back at her to show her she’s also on your radar, or take the bold step and walk over to her first. Taurus women are extremely attracted to people who dress well. Grab her attention by putting in some extra effort in front of the mirror. You’re gorgeous, and don’t let her forget it!

She gives you gifts to get your attention.

Tauruses will shower you with attention if they like you. She may not be emotionally expressive, especially when surrounded by others, but she’ll show you she likes you with gifts. A Taurus woman is materialistic and enjoys the beauty in natural things. Gifting you something she admires is a way for her to tell you she wants to be closer to you. She might find something while antiquing, give it to you as a simple gift, and say it’s nothing—but it’s not nothing! This is her way of giving a piece of herself to you. She’s looking for a genuine reaction, so thank her for the amazing treasure she’s brought you.

She wants to be your best friend.

A Taurus woman will stop at nothing to gain your affection if she likes you. She wants to be around you all the time because she’s in it for the long haul. Her stubborn nature will have her pursuing you despite what anyone else has to say. Take the time to get to know her too. Tauruses value friendship above anything else and want to be in a relationship with a firm foundation.

She has you challenging her.

Taurus women need someone to challenge their intellect. If she likes you, she’s bound to start testing you. She wants someone who is strong, confident, and dependable, so she’ll start challenging you to see if you are the one for her. Maybe she quizzes you on current events or starts a rapid-fire round of questions about you. Either way, answer her questions to see if you pass her tests because she likes you! Answer her questions with honesty. The last thing a Taurus woman wants is to be lied to.

She controls her temper when she’s around you.

The universal sign for a Taurus is the bull because of their headstrong nature. A Taurus woman might be stubborn, but she’ll be patient around you if she likes you, controlling her hidden temper to please you. The next time you're with her, see if she’s being more patient. Maybe you’re in a group conversation with her and someone says something that you know gets under her skin. But instead of reacting with anger, she lets it slide and gives you a smile—she may be giving you a hint that she likes you!

She’s honest with you.

A Taurus woman will open up to you if she likes you. Naturally reserved, it can be difficult for her to be emotionally open with anyone. If she starts telling you about her past or her current feelings, she’s making an effort to be vulnerable with you. This is very difficult for a Taurus. You are someone she trusts, and she wouldn’t be making an effort unless she saw a future with you. Listen to her when she opens up to you. She’ll value your time with her even more if you are able to remember details from your conversations. She may not express it, but she’s looking for a dependable shoulder to lean on—be that shoulder.

She listens when you speak to her.

It’s not easy for a Taurus woman to hold her strong-willed and opinionated tongue. If a Taurus woman likes you, she’ll make an effort to listen to you no matter what. Even if she disagrees with what you’re saying, she’ll let you continue until she can politely state her opposing opinion. She wants to talk, but if she lets you carry the conversation, she has feelings for you. Show her you’re also interested by listening back. Taurus women are attracted to those who value them, so put in that extra effort to show her she’s worthy of the world.

She’s there to help you when you need it most.

A Taurus woman will stop at nothing to protect you if she likes you. With a strong will and resilient personality, she won’t let her loved ones go down fighting alone—and that includes you! A Taurus woman isn’t afraid to pull a few strings to help those closest to her. When you tell her your problems, see how she reacts. Does she jump at the chance to help you out? If so, she probably likes you back! Maybe you tell her you're having a hard time financially. She may offer to help you get more organized and take time out of her busy day to make sure you can pay your bills.
