Cancer ex is back..

Last year I dated a Cancer guy, he was amazing and made me feel very secure. But after a few months he decided to end the relationship because I was "too temperamental" and we ignored each other since, even if I'm pretty sure he was still physically attracted to me. We both dated other people and tried to move on.
Yesterday he told one of my friends that even if I was "crazy" he would love to get me back and this morning when I opened my e-mail, I saw he sent me a friend request on Facebook. I have a few Cancer friends and all of them keep stalking their former lovers, is there any possibility he still has feelings? It's been almost one year.

It's just a friend request...
Yes cancers are known to cling to the past but YOU can make the decision

I have no idea what his intentions are...

they like the challenge of trying to win you back.

This morning he sent me a message and asked for my e-mail adress. I don't know.. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

A very very similar thing happened to me recently. I was in a relationship with a cancer guy for close to 2 yrs. We stopped talking completely when we broke up. He made a facebook profile and requested me as a friend almost a yr after the break up. We've been talking and hanging out since. I am a leo girl. But honestly, i know he is happy being single, he hasnt dated anyone since me, hes just having fun with his guy friends. He still has feelings for me so he tells me everytime we see each other. He just doesnt want to be in a relationship at this time. And i respect that. We're just friends.

Out of the mouth of a Cancer. . . . Cancer's CAN hold onto emotions and attachments to people FOREVER!!! I'm not saying that is his intention, or that he does or does not have feelings for you - I don't know him - . . . but it IS possible with a Cancer.

On a dark-side note: We also can't stand to think of our past lovers forgetting about us, so we can (and will) "dangle" ourselves out there, we will be your "friends" - or contact you out of the blue - just to remind OURSELVES of this great relationship we once had (and in our most selfish moments, we don't stop to think about how our "dangling" affects YOU - it's about US. We "dangle" from a safe distance, with our shell close enough that we can scurry back inside if need be)! We don't forget our past lovers, and we don't want to be forgotten either.

I would say it would depend on the intensity of the relationship you had. You said it was just a few months? Some would say that's not long enough. . . some would say that's all it takes.


If you are interested in getting back with him, then accept his request, send him a short email back, and see where it goes. You'll never know if you don't try. I WILL tell you to PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I don't know how I would feel if someone broke up with me for being "too temperamental."

CancerLOVE1975,

Thank you. I accepted his request and he sent me a private message asking for my e-mail. We started chatting and after 5 minutes he said he doesn't have any plans for this Sunday (hint?), and then started giving me complimets. For example, I told him I had some friens over and he said something like "are they are cute as you?". I tried being friendly, I didn't really flirt with him because I had no idea what his intentions were. Then he told me what a nice person I am 😐 And asked if I want to go out on Sunday.
And then.. he.. signed out.

Typical Cancer move Ha Ha! I hate to say it but I do this all the time with people AIM, myspace or what have you. He signed out lie that because he didn't want to risk waiting on you to respond fearing rejection.

CancerLOVE1975---I couldn't have said it better myself!

Thank you cancerlove for that very informative post. Now I understand why he still has me on msn yet never says anything.

This all sounds just like my ex, half the time I don't think HE even knows what he wants. I had to learn that just cause he still has feelings for me doen't mean that we can BE together. We're good friends though.

So ...
He asked for my e-mail and keeps flirting with me because he wants to make sure I won't forget him? I don't know what to say... he is friends with only ONE of his ex girlfriends, they dated years ago.
He also told one of my friends that he would take me back, but I'm still confused as hell. He hasn't given any sign of life in 3 days and the Aries in me is going crazy.
