I'd say just lock the moment in time somewhere in the back of your head. Moving on doesn't always mean giving up hope. Seems like you've already tried but to no avail, just keep swimming along.
I struggle with cancers. There so closed and protective. I understand they are warm and fluffy underneath, but with my flittering ways, I get bored before I get to the alleged good stuff. I'd try and give advice but I'd need more data
I just posted a response to what you said over in the cancer forum. The kid thing started, I think, because my aqua son wanted to give him a hug. I wasn't going to stop him, he's hugged ppl he's only known for a few hours before. He thinks this guy is cool, so he wanted to give him a hug.
I added to the original post. I ended up texting him to try to get some clarity, if it was really over, for future relationships. We talked through it and hung out that night like nothing had changed. I'm starting to feel like he does this to have his shell time. I thought about telling him that if he needs a few days here and there, to just tell me.
He texted me a little bit yesterday afternoon and I didn't push for any plan for the next time we see each other. His main theme is that he's not ready to have a relationship, but he also does extremely romantic things that seem to contradict that statement.
I'm completely fine with what we have. I hated not having him as a companion for the week we didn't see each other though. I get confused, though, because I don't want to text him if he wants to be left alone, but sometimes I just feel like telling him something funny or about my day.
Going by his description, verbally, of what he wants, I would just be a FWB or something. But his behavior says something totally different. He asks me to come visit him while he's at work. We watch shows together, have long philosophical talks. He tells me about things that are on his mind, things that hurt him deeply. Asks me if he can have pictures of me to keep at his house, stuff like that.
I feel like I need a cancer expert to interpret all this stuff, but I can't seem to get much response in their section. :/
In general relationship terms, it looks to me like you have the correct foundations you can build on. Keep making him feel safe and secure, take it slow and he could open up. I tried the Virgo forum, for general advice on Virgo females and nothing. Just goes to show Aquas are always happy to help.
