I've read enough to know that Cancers are emotion people. I want to know how easily they attach to people.

I had gone on two dates with a Cancer guy. On the first night, I told him not to get attached to me in any way. And he said that it's all good, he's not the type to get attached.

The reason behind the whole no-attachment deal is that I have a boyfriend.
No, I'm not cheating. Not exactly.
We've decided to see other people. An open-relationship.

I made the Cancer guy aware of this some time during the night. I don't enjoy leading people on.

During our second date, sometime during the night, I received a phone call from a friend and spoke to her in her native language (she's from Armenia and my background is Armenian) for a quick few minutes.

Simply asking me whatever he was curious about would have been fine, but we were already in our own cars, driving away, when he called and started asking me all these questions. He asked me to meet him again somewhere in the area so we can talk in person.

He asked me if it was my boyfriend who had called earlier and why I hadn't ended things already. I hadn't told him that I was going to end things officially. I felt like, for someone who knew not to get too involved, was asking too many questions and digging too deep. Could have been sheer curiosity though, right?

Maybe it was the sex portion. We had made out plenty. Cancer's love making out!!! He wanted to know what I was doing with him. Were we "hooking up" or is something else going on? I couldn't give him a direct answer. What was I doing with him? They were supposed to be harmless dates, a bit of romance... Wasn't considering anything to get serious.

Things ended a bit awkward. He asked me if I wanted to see him again and I said I really don't know and that he should leave. I felt like I wouldn't hear from him again after the way things ended, but two weeks had past and I hear from him. He HAD told me that he'd be busy during the following two weeks during the second date. Didn't think much of it.


I do like him. I enjoy spending time with him. But...
Should I cut the chord already or can I trust a Cancer who claims to have full control of his emotions?

hahaha! He's pulling feelings out of HER yet she wants to flip it and pretend he's the one attaching.... when he's looking for a clear answer. Of course a boyfriend will bother a Cancer, we like to be number #1 but if it's just hooking up... let the games begin!

It's probably pure competition and something interesting for him to get into . He'll get you to fall for him... when you tell him it's casual.. then he'll scratch his head at your confusing because you said no strings attached... but you weren't being truthful.

Seriously, get yourself a Virgo or a Aries as suggested because you don't want to go down this emotional road.

Claro already told you that tho...

just an opinion...

LOL @ you wanting a Cancer male to have full control of his emotions. It's against our religion to have full control of our emotions. They squeak out when we aren't looking. In fact you are probably in danger of catching a few of your own.

I think you need to be very clear what it is you are doing. Like Claro said he wants to know what you want from him. Are you looking for a sex buddy or platonic dates that just so happen to include making out sessions?
