Cancer guy into me? Or my friend?

a) He's feeling you
b) He's feeling your friend
c) He's only interested in blonds
d) Not enough information

I'm gonna have to go with A or D.
But I will tell you that him giving her his jacket, is just typical cancer behavior. I have done that on several occasions just because I can tolerate cold better/longer than most people. And the person doesn't have to be attractive to me for me to give up the jacket... it just has to be cold outside, or they have to have low iron in their blood, or they could simply start out by being my friend. I don't have to 'want you' to share a the jacket I already warmed up with you... just don't let it get cold before you give it back. LOL But all jokes aside, you have to give us more history for us to give you a credible response.
I have a thing for brunettes... but that doesn't go to say I won't try anything at all with a blond or redhead.

cancers are shy with people they really "like" - sounds like he's attracted to you and thinks of you as someone to fool around with; but from what you've said here he sees more potetial with your friend for something other than a FWB. Whether it's strong enough to pursue....who knows? But if he had the choice, more likely he'd DATE your friend.

Cancers like connection with people. It sounds like you have a connection with him. I don't think the comment about hair color means that much. Maybe he's curious about your friend but since he's single, why not flirt w/ other girls too? He's not committed to anyone.

It's possible that his comment about hair color was meant as a passive-aggressive way of letting you know that he's got options and if you're into him, you should let him know more clearly that you are...

otherwise, they'll cut bait and look for someone else. like i said before, 75% of how much a Cancer likes you depends on how much you show him you like him...

just my 2 cents

He actually was really nervous around me. Hard for him to make eye contact with me, etc. Yet, when I would flirt/touch him he'd get closer to me. And not want to leave, i.e. when someone would ask him to dance or go to another bar he'd say " No let's just stay here". Also, he had just met my friend that night so I doubt he could become "interested" in dating her in less than an hour or so - they barely exchanged two sentences. He called and asked me if I wanted to go out the next night, but I had already made plans - hope that wasn't enough to "scare" him away or think I lost interest (I know you have to be careful with these cancers!). I told him I'd try to meet up with him, but couldn't so I didn't contact him after that.

you can doubt it if you want, but that doesn't mean anything. From what you've described he was showing more of a sincere interest in your friend, and a casual one in you. Cancers are intuitive, he doesn't need more than an hour to make that determination.

Well - if cancers go for the desperate kind - she was extremely drunk and throwing herself at everyone . I didn't know cancers go for that kind of girl - I think he was just looking at her cuz every guy was bc of it was pretty humorous to watch.

Not to be antagonistic but I sincerely doubt things are the way you say both between him and you, and what happened with your friend, because your tone is extremely defensive. You haven't said anything here that makes it sound like he is genuinely interested in anything more than flirting with you. So let's take your friend out of the equation: he STILL isn't showing much interest in pursuing more with you - at least not from what YOU have said here and since it does seem you have a bit of a tendency to skew things in your favor [ahem.....] I would think it would sound more like he was interested, but it really doesn't.

and notice... you started this thread describing the comments he was making to/about your friend and wondering if he was interested in her, you didn't mentione her being drunk and guys staring at her because it was funny, and nothing you say he said indicates he thought she a sleezy drunk and funny to laugh at. You also were under the impression that he was interested in her - now that it's been suggested that he really is, all of a suddn you don't think it's possible he could have been interested in her because a) he didn't know her well and b) she was falling down drunk....wow what a 180 you've done here.... sounds more like you were hoping to hear that he wasn't interested in your friend, that he is interested in you - but you didn't get the answer you wanted so now you're changing your story..... I'm sorry to say but I have gemini family and friends, including a girl who was my "best friend" [yeah....] for 6 years and this is typical gemeni behavior. I've only met ONE gemeni so far who hasn't displayed this knack for twisting the story after the fact to suit his/her needs...we'll see if that lasts.
