A question for you Cancerians [or anyone]

I'll start by saying I have this problem where I can tell when someone is flirting with another person but I have trouble seeing it if it's happening to me.

There is this cancer man who is a friend that I have had a huge crush on practically since day one. We have a close circle of friends we hang out with but have become quite good friends ourselves; we go to concerts alone together, we've gone out to dinner, etc. We have the same kind of sense of humor and use sexual innuendos all the time. When I'm around him, I get this feeling that he is protective over me (in a good way, not overbearing). In the past few months, he's started doing things like putting his hand on my lower back if I'm walking in front of him a few different instances, one time he lightly touched my ass with his hand as he was walking around me [it was intentional], and more recently he drove me home from a concert and before I got out he went in for a hug and told me how good I smelled. Sometimes I THINK I get a flirty vibe from him towards me but maybe it's just wishful thinking. Could these be signs of him being interested? If so, do you think he hasn't made any moves because he doesn't want to ruin our friendship? I am totally not good at this. lol

Also, a few months ago I invited this guy I met on an online dating site to an outing with my friends and this Cancer guy was there. While I was off to the side, talking to the guy and getting to know him, Mr Crab would walk by us, tap me on the head and things like that... anything to get my attention, almost as if he was jealous and to say "Hey, look at me, notice me"

Astrology aside, yes those are subtle signs like the hair smell compliment. Cancerian are shy and cautious so perhaps you should drop some hints as well, but nothing raunchy. Keep it classy. Like compliments, smile at him from afar, laugh at his jokes, and light arm touch. If you know he likes a certain snack, buy him one on your way over to see him and say you were just at the store and saw this and remembered he likes them. It's the thought that counts. And make him feel special so he'd warm up more and start dropping more obvious hints. So basically give him something so he can reciprocate with confidence. ....... Other than that, look into his Venus and Mars sign too. Venus will indicate his style of attracting others, Mars will tell you if he has the balls to make a move, and his Moon sign you can appeal to that too especially since he's a Cancer so the emotions are always triggering the Moon already. Whatever that sign is, you will know how you can provoke good feelings unto him about you.

Good luck! What sign are you anyways?

Thank you so much for the advice, tiltedmoonshadow! (Love the avatar by the way!)

I'm a Leo! I don't feel that I'm the "typical" Leo though lol... how do I find out the Venus and Mars signs--is there a site you would recommend for that?
