A Very Slow Warmup Towards Cancer Guy

...so over the weekend I reached out to him via text asking for a favour, preparing myself mentally that I may well get rejected, ignored & disappointed.

He came around quicker than I thought that I in fact missed the notification & only replied him some time later that I needed financial help from him. He only asked briefly what happened & without caution/hesitation/condition, the favour was extended.

I've always felt disheartened by his lack of initiative in keeping in touch via text, lack of interest & effort in our 'relationship' or the lack of it & pulling out from our last rendezvous. But this latest incident speaks of something else, I feel assured.

This topic does not necessarily require any advice/response. That is not to say that anyone so compelled to comment are not welcomed to do so.

He may be a much more shy Crab.

I have a mind that says, if you don't do it.. you will never know so i'm likely to take risks and try.

Most of the time i end up successful, don't mean the relationship will be though.

Typical shy Crab. I'm still far from understanding his style , willingness & motivation in taking risks and acting on things.

Him helping you means absolutely nothing, we have empathy as vast as the ocean.

I feel he has a lot of empathy, & pretty gullible too. Since he closes up & ignores me so often when I encroach on him, I was just pleasantly surprised by his readiness & unquestioning willingness to help, which I take it as reassurance of his sensibility in general matters.
