Cancer men Clingy and Whiney

I am a Scorp woman. There is a Cancer man I met and we went on a date once. We talk sometimes on the phone, but he is very clingy and it is annoying. How should I express this to him without hurting his feelings, as I know cancers are very sensitive I have a brother and a best friend who are Cancers.

He calls all the time... I just met him. I think he is an alright person. Not really attracted to him, but he is funny and fun to hang out with sometime. However he is turning me off with the clinginess and the whinning about me calling him and him wanting to see me all the time.

I don't want to cut him off all together, but whew he is wearing me out... Just got the 3rd text message from him in a row. I am at work, but had to take a break to ask for help!!!

seems like you need to make a clean break of it if you're not interested in anything more than a friendship. he won't give up easily, and it'll just get messier if you don't address it head on.

You are demonstrating a typical woman behaviour i.e. you cannot make up your mind. If you are so fickle minded, then continue suffering with the clingy Cancerian. Bottom line of what I am saying is, MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

My Cancer is not at all clingy. I wish he would be though 😢 🙂 Oh well...

Kleanchap, you might want to re-read my post.... Never said there was any making up of the mind. Clearly not interested in him the way he is in me. Just asking for suggestions on how to tell him that without hurting his feelings. Scorps can be very blunt....

or just tell him straight up. if you hurt his feelings, at least you know he'll leave you alone.

If your communication w/him is as vague as your post-that's the problem right there...we're/they're sensitive not dense-just state your intentions clearly and see what comes of it...clingy is a new one...elusive,aloof,flaky now those i've heard before...

Thanks for your advise guys. I guess because I enjoy meeting new people and have been one with more guy friends than girls (however my girls are my girls...) Just don't like the catty ways all the time. Guys are so much more simple and easy to hang out with (yes, without the benefits). I like to think of everyone I meet as a possible friend... So, if he could just be my friend hence, the hanging out with and funny and not wanting to cut him off completely. Definitely not interested in dating though. I will give him a call and tell him, because I feel terrible. Was just looking for a nice way to do so. The second clingy cancer man I have known. One, I dated and had to let go, partly because of the clinginess and smothering...

Advise = Advice. Can't spell, sick child up coughing all night. Sleep deprived.

lol...you only see him as clingy because you are not attracted to him....if you were, you'd call it "attention"....which most women are starved for. At any rate, if he can't take the hint then just create some distance from him. Either tell him that you don't want to communicate with him at this level if youw ant to be more direct or if you want to go the passive aggressive route just don't answer his calls or go out with him for a couple months. That's more than enough time for him to "cling" to someone else.
