I've been single for 5 years. I spent 8 of the previous 9 years in two 4-year LTRs. So basically I was in one of two tight relationships throughout adolescence and college. I have dated a bit over the past few years but I haven't found anyone who resembles LTR material at all. I have been rejected by a few girls who I really (thought I) liked, and I have rejected some who really liked me. There just have been no good matches.

On the positive side, now I know myself really well. I live alone and do everything on my terms. I don't have to argue with anyone and I don't have to worry about anything other than getting my own shit taken care of. Also, being in my late 20s, my hormones are wearing off so I'm not as lustful as I used to be. There is no immediate need for sex so there is no need to push myself into it with the wrong person or in the wrong situation. There is no need to make a fool of myself in the name of getting laid.

I am going to jettison any astrological implications for just a moment and tell you, Lexie, that the single best thing you can do is to just be happy with you. I am nearly thirty. Some people think I'm pretty cute. I am friendly, warm, intelligent and creative. I would adore being in a good, loving relationship. I know, though, that when I put too much importance on mating, it seems that the possibilities become much more remote. And if I put out more effort than I am being given, it makes me miserable. I have come to understand that, truly, I have all of the time in the world, and I am much happier for it. I would rather be on my own than with somebody who is wrong for me. I have learned to relax into myself, and that has made me much more attractive overall. A right one will come along, and I have a better picture of what I want in a relationship, and what I have to offer.
At twenty-five, I had just narrowly avoided marrying somebody who (I can see now) would not have allowed me the room to grow. It killed me at the time, but I am so glad, not just to have come out of that, but to have had the chance to go through it.
Back to astrology-- I am as Venusian as they come-- A Taurus sun and Venus, and a Libra asc. and moon, with bunches of other stuff I won't bore you with. I LOVE loving! And it might be tempting at times for me to just find somebody to be sexual with, but it is intimacy I crave.
What would really feed you? If you think that playing out your hypersexuality (yes, I •get• this) will truly satisfy you, go for it. If, however, you really want to settle down, understand that you won't totally be available for that if you are putting your attention on a purely physical relationship.
I guess I am just saying not to put too much pressure on yourself. Yes, sometimes it seems like it will be forever before I have another awesome relationship, but I have absolute faith that it will happen in exactly the way it was intended for me.
I hope the same for you, too.

i am 46, never been married, a succession of cool girlfriends most of whom i'm still friend with. don't know how much it has to do with being a taurus, but i certainly like living alone and having things my own way. my last girlfriend moved in for a year, which was interesting and resulted in a lot of personal growth (not to mention getting rid of a lot of stuff, which is a good thing i think), but overall i'm happier living alone again.

I have looked at all the signs and there is something major in all of them that I just can't live with . . . at 45 I just don't see it happening . . . there is always sex magic . . .

Currently 45, been divorced for five years from a 17 year relationship. Understand being conflicted........... Navigating the dating field has been daunting for me. I love being sexual, but is still selective about hooking up with someone. Had a guy hit on me two weeks ago..and had to laugh in his face......His opening line was that I had a nice derrière, and what was my name? Had he been cute or had something other amusing to say, I might have taken him into consideration.....but I couldn't. Where are the cultured educated ones? I guess I have been traveling in the wrong circles... Maybe I will meet some when I return back to school in the fall.

After the divorce, I did see an ex-boyfriend for a minute, but again for the second time, I could not see myself being his wife. So we occasionally crashed together and go our separate ways, but I had to stop because I started wanting more, and that would have complicated things... Took up with another old friend from younger days, but I characterize him as an wild cat that does not want to be domesticated. Although he will drink your milk and nuzzle for a minute, if it seems like you want to lock him down, he flees for a while. Sexually he is fantastic, he sometimes mentions marriage, but I just do not see us longterm. So I feel it is best to stay friends, though at times I am tempted to take him seriously...but right now I do feel that I am in a waiting mode...waiting for my teens to become adults so I can flee and try other locations.....At times though I do wistfully sometimes wish that I had waited for marriage, so I could have did more things, and because I have met so many middle-age women who are starting over.......But there are times I do like being and sleeping alone, and not arguing over petty things like who left the toilet seat up?.........

Well, at 25 I wouldn't worry too much about being forever single. At (almost ) 32, I identify with a lot of what you said. I never thought to blame my singleness on my sign.....

taurus and single...

agreed with most of what is said here.
i dont put any importance on the idea of being with someone for the sake of it,
but i think i do crave intimacy with the idea of that elusive person out there im still missing out on.

its understandable that taureans would be frequently single... frivolous relationships arent for tauruses. we dont see the point of doing anything halfway, and we dont like to be played with.
the 'taurus' logic being, 'why not wait for the person i can really show myself to?'


theres a lot of adoration waiting to pour out of us taureans ;D

Haha sex buddy itch... been there. I've been single for last 6 years. Was in a long-term relationship that had burn scars to heal for ages. whatever.

but yes, I want to go out there and meet the ladies, but not to satisfy some random itch. Unless she is ALL woman, then I'm like take me home, pretty please. My female taurus friends go through this period of intense sexuality and then withdrawal. I find one night stands embarrassing as I won't perform for a random stranger. Unless she's messed with my head during the evening and I'm hot for her as a result, it ain't happening. Porn helps in the interim.
