I'm afraid I pushed my Taurus man away and I want to have him back. Is our connection ruined or can I help turn it around?

[Arieswoman]

I am an Aries woman, I met a Taurus man at work. He made his way toward me with wit and humor. Literally 10 minutes after I gave him my number, the texting began. We would text all day every day with him initiating all of the contact, this went on for about a month and a half. I really enjoy who he is, we are a lot alike. I am not the usual extrovert Aries, I'm have a cancer rising so I believe that influences me in that way. I am a true homebody and so is he! I was so excited to have met this guy who seemed so different from others, he is very calm and understanding also very loving and communicative. Well, I guess to make a long story short, I began to freak out and push him away due to my fears that I would be hurt again. I have been single for six years and I don't want to invest in anything that will hurt my heart like I have felt in a past experience. I have told him basically that I can't talk to him anymore, but I really want to talk to him. I miss our chats and want to turn it all around, I just don't know how and I am not someone who is comfortable doing the chasing. I do still hear from him, just not as often and in depth as I want. I guess what my question is, if I should just chalk this up and move on or is there anyway to try to get communication back where it was. Although we have flirted quite heavily there has been zero physical contact between us.

1. Ah a Taurus Bull and an Aries Ewe is one of the most awesome combinations - full of fire and spunk lol (don't mind me, I'm a Bull myself - hopefully not full of shit ha ha)
2. Though Linda Goodman's done a good job every individual differs from another and so does every Taurus though basics to an extent if you know to look remain the same
3. I'm one of those talkative bulls but talks only in known close company
4. Aries girl with a Cancer rising - explains the emotional and introverted part alright
5. Coming to your question, in your fear of being hurt you pushed him away w/o knowing if he's been hurt by others the same way - mistake one
6. A Taurus typically is blind to everyone and everything else when he's smitten or infatuated (even if just sexually) which explains his persistence and constantly being in touch
7. Now that you pushed him away and he's gone, the problem is you don't know if he's hurt cause it's something that's repeated with him (mistake two) thus making it difficult to ignite the fire again - I said 'difficult' not 'impossible'
8. If you think both of you are on the same plane then you need to invest time and go a little slow with him to try and pique his interest again but expect him to be cautious the 2nd time around
9. He'll sure be a forgiving character but don't expect him to forget
10. Taurus or not, not everyone can stop themselves from harboring a fear of something that has hurt them in a way and referring to it from time to time - maybe you may have to put up with that. Just cause you don't mean to any longer it doesn't necessarily put the other person at ease with confidence
11. There is always a reaction to every action :)
12. Now after all this, it's your call if you want to gamble on it or not :-)

Good luck :)

I don't read anything about Chinese Zodiac signs but OK
you are aware that he is more tolerant of your sign than vice versa
and that you are better suited when searching the other fire signs.
The definitive resource simple to read would be Secret Signs of Relationships (Amazon/others), so that we are all divided up into 52 groups instead of just 12 with this/that rising. Look him up and read.

I read that you are in control of what happens next. A Taurus/many other guys are not thinking home run as much as strike out when a gal gives them the stiff arm or cold shoulder. Certaily Tauruses are social enough to have other diversions.

What ever you want of this guy, is there for the asking my dear.
How much would it set you back for a pair of coffees, or better... pair of maitais?
