You crave security and comfort, peace and harmony. Your greatest desire in relationships is to nurture others. What you seek in return is consistency and security.

You are affectionate and need to know that your place in a relationship is solid. As much as you desire security in relationships, you are also drawn to those who need healing, caring and stabilizing. As a result you may consciously desire a partner who is grounded and practical yet find yourself subconsciously drawn to people who are in need of grounding and nurturing.

You are romantic and favor tradition over surprises. You prefer the company of those who are honest, consistent and reliable, yet will pursue relationships with those who are risk takers as it helps to bring you out of your comfort zone if only by proxy.

Your ideal date would include ample time for affection, intimacy and deep conversations without the distractions of atmospheric noise or many other people around. Settings in which you can nurture your date but also be admired and showcase your strengths including creativity in setting a romantic scene at home and cooking a healthy gourmet dinner for your loved one.

You secretly desire pampering and nurturing and when your date doesn’t take the lead to provide it you will go to great lengths to prepare your ideal date, showing your love interest the attention and admiration you expect in return. If they reciprocate, the date is a success. If they don’t, you are likely to hang on and continue to pursue by lavishing even more attention and affection. If this is the case, you will become resentful but it will take time because Venus in Cancer doesn’t give up easily and Sun in Taurus is also persistent.

You want to learn about your love interest’s past and family and settings where you feel at home and comfortable sharing are ideal. You would enjoy an evening spent in your home or your date’s home, where you can admire their photos and learn about what is important to them.

No one will rush you in a relationship. You want affection but will only open up to greater intimacy once you feel secure about the direction the relationship is headed.

Your date will be ruined if your insecurities are triggered. If your date constantly checks their phone or is obviously texting others, it will trigger your suspicions and jealousies. If your date fails to show admiration and appreciation for you, regardless of how well other aspects of the date are progressing, your feelings will be hurt.

You will be turned off by noisy bars or clubs, or dates in which you don’t get to make eye contact and become engrossed in conversation. If your date involves a movie for example, you will also want to spend time talking over dinner or walking through the park.

You will expect a follow up text or call expressing gratitude and enjoyment of the romantic evening from your date later that night or the following day. Any lack of communication which keeps you guessing will be a turnoff, as will deceit or dishonesty in any form.
