Are Cancer men slow to "jump in"?

I met a cancer man about 4 months ago now and he asked me out. He really took me off guard because he was so kind of earnest about telling me how much he liked me, and sort of tried to impress me like a little kid that somehow I dropped my Scorpio guard VERY quickly and liked him a lot back.

At the time, I could not say yes, because I was leaving for a 6 month assignment overseas with my job, but we swapped numbers and pretty much from that day onwards we talked every day and got very close. Now, I think I love him.

In that time we have come to know each other pretty well (man is he sensitive) and we have had ups and downs (man is he moody) but I have also seen the person he is and we just seem to create such a beautiful little bond together.

As time has gone on and we got much closer, I honestly can say I don't think any man has ever made me feel so special. In that the things he says and does to me / for me are so genuinely lovely that he almost makes me feel like he has me on a throne being worshipped. He just acts /seems that he sees me as the perfect woman in every possibly way and he never shuts up about how beautiful and great I am and makes me feel like he notices everything about me.

But as time has gone on, I feel like he sometimes creates worries in his head. He has started to act insecure about me / us and shows signs of feeling worried I am going to leave him and all that stuff, and he is soooooo jealous and possessive that if I mention the slightest thing about be going out with a male friend he might not talk to me for days. I feel in ways he is trying to drive me off, like he wants or expects me to go and he starts little fights and then sulks and then comes back.

I am kind of worried that he is creating worries or insecurities to the point that our relationship might never happen. And I want to say "come on, we need to date for real now and be boyfriend and girlfriend but in a way I almost feel like he likes having me at a distance and just as a fantasy.

I feel almost kind of revered by him, so it's not that I feel like he does not like me enough. It is just strange that he moves so slowly almost like he is kind of crazy about me but still also making up his mind.

Is this a Cancer man thing? If it is, what is the best way to handle it? I am impatient and want us to move right into being proper partners when I get home. He does say he wants that, talks all the time about what we will do in the future and things but it's difficult to describe - he is not tangible.

YES.

Yes. I've dated a lot of cancer men. And yes to all of them. Just be faithful and prove your loyalty.

please just say he left you

It's more like we wade in lol

So don't take it personally and be patient?
