You’ll need at least half of these things in order to have a successful relationship with a Tragic Taurus.

Creativity: You set the stage for romance and—guaranteed—Taurus will play his or her role perfectly. You might need to make cue cards, but a with a little creativity you can definitely grab the Bull by the horns, romantically speaking.

Kid gloves and subtlety: You can catch more flies with honey, or in Taurus’s case, you can catch a Bull by avoiding confrontation. If you so much as mention that you notice their flaws and accuse them of being lazy or materialistic (which they obviously are), they could fly off the handle and throw a week-long tantrum. Keep experimenting with gentle ways of delivering your self-improvement hints to the Taurus.

Ambiguity: Face it, most decisions in your relationship are going to go Tragic Taurus’s way. It works better if you come to the table with some room for flexibility. If you stop sweating over the small stuff early on, things will go much better for you.

Routine: Taurus really needs to know what they’ll be doing at 7:39 a.m. and 2:41 p.m. and all the times in between. Try setting up a shared digital calendar to plan weeks or months ahead. It’s an added bonus if you can schedule in time for spontaneous things such as going out for dessert, playing catch at the park, or things that are slightly more naughty and fun.

Good taste: Tauruses love to prepare, serve, and eat a delicious meal. The aromas, the wine, the flavors all melding together—so you need to be able to savor a meal with your Taurus. Put all your concerns about calories and fat on the back burner, and dig in with gusto.

Appreciation of the good life: If for some reason you can’t genuinely appreciate everything that Taurus wants to do for you, then just fake it ‘til you make it. Eventually you’ll get over your self-esteem issues and enjoy actually being treated well for once in your life.
