Are Cancer men worth the wait?? Patience running thin...

I met this Cancer guy through mutual friends, and he's really great. We've been out on a date and spent time together on several other occasions (he's a musician in our circle of musician friends, so we frequently hang out during and after his gigs). I'm pretty sure he knows I'm interested, but he's a REALLY tough nut to crack. I *think* he's interested as well (I figured out he stalks my Facebook posts/page), based on little comments he's made here and there. I love how attentive he is to me, during our conversations especially, but I still can't tell if it's because he likes me in *that way* or just because he's nice. We've been at this for about two months and it's all hugs, not a kiss in sight. Grrrr! Our mutual (female) friend who knows him well says he's just afraid of getting hurt, and (half jokingly) that maybe a year from know he'll let me know how he feels, lol. I'm a pretty direct person and have no problem texting him, suggesting we get together (he always agrees), asking if he has gigs coming up (he always tells me to come see him), but is it going too far to press the issue of moving forward from hugs to a kiss? I kinda want him to fish or cut bait, but I know Cancers are skittish and I don't want to scare him off by crossing the line from assertive to aggressive. I won't plant one on him myself lol, but I've thought of just telling him during our next hug something like, if he wanted to kiss me it would be totally okay 🙂. My friends say he's a REALLY good guy, and I like him a lot. But I don't like wasting my time if I can't even get to the point with him where I can determine if he's worth the waaaaiiiiiting. Suggestions for moving this along—

Get your man girl!

When it comes to true romance and real, non-superficial love, I'm a verrry patient person. When I feel loved, I will show hard love in return. If I sense that something isn't quite right, I will resist and observe from a distance until I sort things out. Feeling loved for me means authentically feeling it, seeing it and knowing it. My love isn't given so freely because once I'm sold, I will literally give my all.

Your expectations are too high. You're just 'hanging out'. Try actually asking him out on an actual date to really gauge things. Cancer's can be private, and if you want him to open up, it might be a good idea to get yourselves into a private setting away from your comrades. If he still isn't doing anything, then his manjina is too big and you should move on.

Frankly stop wasting your tome and move on to
someone who is willing to be an equal partner!
