Cancer man interested or just being friendly?

I'm not too sure if I'm looking into this too much or not but I went to a party and the was a guy there that is friends with my brother. I actually told my brother that I kind of liked his friend about a year and a half ago and he ended up telling his friend what I'd said and told him not to try anything with me.

When he got to this party he went out onto the back deck and from the moment I went out there as well he was by my side for the whole night. It wasn't until halfway through the night that I noticed he was doing this because when I'd move he'd seem to find his way to me, or if someone distracted him he'd be back beside me within minutes. I also noticed he was a little shy around me even though he seems really outgoing. He would ask my brother to ask me silly questions that I would have thought he'd feel comfortable asking himself...even asked my brother to ask me if he could have one of my smokes. He seemed to want to talk to me a lot even though he knew others that were there. when it was over he wouldn't leave because he wanted to make sure I could get home alright, even though I only live a few streets away from the party and had a ride coming for me. He asked me if I had a ride and if I'd be alright about 4 or 5 times.

By the end of the night I thought it was odd that he was acting like that...I thought it would be the opposite because of my brother telling him how I felt. I thought he would avoid me or be standoffish to not give me the wrong impression/idea.

He asked me to send him a link of a movie to his facebook and when I did he told me there was an accident on his way home. When I replied asking him if they were involved or if they were ok he didn't reply but he had been on..so I'm thinking he got the message. Because of that I'm wondering if I've just looked too much into his actions and he was really only being friendly. I thought I'd see what other people thought about all of this.

Obviously because my brother has expressed that it would make him uncomfortable I couldn't really act on anything even if there is more to it but I would still be interested in knowing for sure.

I personally think that this guy likes you and he's trying his hardest not to come off as too attached too quickly, but his actions are overweighing his shyness and his attraction is actually quite obvious.

Just be gentle with him. Cancers (even the strongest of us) tend to be very sensitive and this guy SEEMS to be that way! Good luck

Thanks for that, Artemis, I hope you're right 😛

He definitely seems to be sensitive to me as well, which I hadn't noticed before. I will remember to be gentle with him as well...it can be hard to remember when someone usually acts more outgoing. He also seems like he might be a really deep person, which is not what he usually comes across as.

I think the other thing that kind of made me wonder if he was interested in some way is that he mentioned he'd like to come out this way (we're almost an hr away from where he lives) when it was sunny for some more drinks....He said "What I really want to do is come out here when it's a nice hot day for some more drinks because you live around here, don't you?"...It actually made me stop and make sure I'd heard it right...but again...he could have just been trying to be friendly.

So you don't have an opinion on whether he's just being friendly or not, MoonMan?
