hahaha no we didn't, he can't be thinking this way? or you trying to be funny?
Cancer man and I are dating each other only, but no exclusive talk. Is this a dead end situation? (Page 3)

Me too. Damn!
Posted by Arielle83I get that, no one wants a controlling partner.Posted by IlluminatiOr her intensity has rubbed off and he's still testing the waters.
I probably have discouraged you a lot, burnout it this way. If he doesn't want to keep this going. Would he responded as promptly as he did.
Sounds you both are waiting for each other to make a move...
He's staying chill.
I've done this with dudes who seemed intense too soon. I've held back even more to see a reaction. If they acted crazy, desperate or accused me of cheating, I realised they would probably be controlling, possessive and critical.
If they matched my chill attitude in getting to know them, I realised i could trust them and see them as an equal. Two ppl getting to know each other and into the future.
We are protective ppl after all. I don't want to jump into anything that might be abusive or toxic, because it's hard to let go sometimes.
I also HATE disappointment.

I don't sense an abusive vibe from the OP though. More like a ditzy but a little bit innocent vibe if you know what I mean?

I haven't contacted him since I saw him.. I let him contact me....
Posted by Arielle83Probably unfinished business with his ex? In a sense of being traumatized. To be blunt it's almost like punishing the OP for his ex's misdoingPosted by IlluminatiYeah but he mentioned something about an ex and abstaining from sex or somthing so he's guarded probs.Posted by Arielle83I get that, no one wants a controlling partner.Posted by IlluminatiOr her intensity has rubbed off and he's still testing the waters.

Ha! Now you see why I keep telling other to watch out to cancer men. As they he older they get more damaged

Enjoy the journey OP and don't look so much toward the destination. I now it's hard, but like Arielle and the others said Chill... Read the book "why men love bitches" give you perspective inside Guy's thought and also it's an awesome read 😄 keep busy.
Posted by MoonbutterHis ex was a bitch and he left her lol

Posted by PoppyseedsGo with the flow. Get busy with fun stuff. You're doing the best you can with this. Don't leave it all on him though. If you're unsure about something ask him.Posted by kissmygritswell.. I'm back sooner than you think.. I realized my text was a bit close ended.. so I sent another one that shows my feelings. I told him I miss his voice.
I'm hoping not. I want a good ongoing thing for once. 🙂
He wrote back really quickly and the text was LONG. He told me what he is busy with but didn;'t mention when can we get together... he ended it wtih I hope you're staying warm tonight! x
I'm getting mix signal..click to expand
Posted by SensitiveBluesDoesn't look like it.

@arielle83 @kissmygrit @illuminati
Just an update, We exchanged lots of LONG text in between and he said he wants to see me very soon. I let him know that I'm away for work next week, he said he is away next weekend so we must see each other in between or it will be too long.
We both are very busy this weekend, we worked out that we can have lunch on one of the day. All I can say is video call is so much better than texting. When we saw each other's face and hear the voice and tone, conversation just flow so naturally and filled with laughter! Of course face to face is still the best 🙂
It's also a very good sign that he is eager to spend time with me even when he knows it wouldn't lead to anything physical due to the short amount of time we are going to spend.

Great! Now will you chill out? 🙂
Posted by kissmygritsChill out and enjoy each other. I'm pleased to hear about the update.
Great! Now will you chill out? 🙂
Posted by kissmygritsSaw him and he actually brought it up.. he said I knew you would think I'm going to ghost on you because you mentioned you had bad experience. I was laughing when I text you.
Great! Now will you chill out? 🙂
I said wait you were laughing? so you were playing with me?
He said no. But it's 2 way street, why didn't you text me after sex? I said cos you told me you hate it when girls take charge... he goes take charge means the girl trying to decide where they are going every time.
He then added I think she should know what kind of person I am, I shouldn't need to explain. I let him know how I felt, even I know he wouldn't do that on purpose.
He siad see you waited it out and everything is fine!
We will meet up again very soon before our work thing.
I shocked when he said he was laughing when he text me 2 days after sex... What is so funny....
@Poppyseeds I don't think I have advice for you here, I just wanna say how envious I am of you & hope the best for you. I'll be following your story with enthusiasm & maybe learn 1 or 2 from here regarding my own Cancer man 🙂
Posted by taupixieHi there, thank you for your well wishes. All I can say is I'm really enjoying him, early days is best to take things slow, there will always be some level of fears. If anyone says they have no fear at all you can almost certain it's a lie. Hope my thread has helpful 🙂
