Cancer confusion- sound familiar?

Hi, I've been reading these message boards for a while and it has really helped me understand many things about the Cancer man. Thank you.

If you have chance to read my story, I'll keep it brief, I would really appreciate your opinions.

Met a cancer guy at the end of Oct, we emailed and texted a lot. The communication was v.flirty.When we saw each other in person (he was working in the building) he was lovely but we were both a little shy around each other, but i feel the chemistry was there. The text flirtation continued though, It lasted until the end of december. In January, he went away on a very intense work trip for the whole month and i did not hear from him. I think he is now back a couple of days, but i have not heard from him

What I would like to know is, is it normal for a cancer guy to just break contact for as long as a month? I know I am not imagining the connection we made. He did hint at being heartbroken over something or someone but did not give any details.

I don't feel like i want to contact him myself, i understand that he may have needed "shell" time. But a month? is this normal? do you think he will make contact? sorry to sound mental, but I am so disappointed.

Cheers x

Given the information you provided, I don't think it's odd that he broke contact while he was away. (I'd say this about any sign, not just Cancer). I understand your disappointment though. The mindset of the person still at home and continuing with the same routine is not the same as the mindset of someone who's away "on a very intense work trip." It's understandable that you would experience the break in contact more intensely than he would.

Incidentally, my opinion would be different if you had been actually dating or in a relationship (as opposed to just flirting via text and email).

Thanks Paries, I guess it just seems a bit weird as we had had so much contact. It's good to hear that you don't think it's the end of the world though.

yeah, it's not like we were dating, but I don't often feel a connection like this so i guess that's why i took it hard.

Hopefully he'll get back in contact when he's settled.

Thanks again

No. Cancers do not beak contact. They are clingy as hell. if he mentioned he was heart broken over someone then that person is still on his mind and i think he may be back with that person, trying, or realized he needs to get over that person before he moves things along with you. call and be cool but do not force him. he will get confused and end up loving you and the other person and someone will get hurt. let him figure it out and forget the other person before you two get together.
