I'm trying to let this man be "free" and give him the space I hear and understand Gem's need but being a Cancer I'm missing the closeness in our relationship. Not sure how we or I get passed that feeling.
Oh...I want to see the replies to this. I had the hots for a gem once. It was like trying to contain oxygen in my hands...wasn't working. He always seemed to respond to me disappearing...the only thing is he didn't understand that once I left, chances are I wasn't coming back.
He and I do talk. We actually talk a lot BUT our disconnects is where I can't quite get him to see where we need to compromise. I want to make sure I'm meeting his needs and help him where I can BUT some of this has to be related to him being a Gem and he would be offended if I brought that up to him 🙂
I think he would think I'm reading too much into his behavior. Which I kind of am lol But as a Cancer I like to know whats coming and how to plan and be prepared. With him I can't. Everyday is different.
Yes! You are exactly right. Plus he gives me tons of mixed messages. I guess thats where I thought the "Gem" in him was coming from. Like last week he blurted out something about moving in together. I have no idea where that came from and when I called him on it he kind of laughed it off but it was weird. We may just need to have a talk about expectations.... again and if it's not resolved this time as much as I like him I may have to say adios.
I dated a Gemini (June 14) for 6 1/2 years. I am a Cancer. OMG! ALOT of HEARTACHE and PAIN. From my experience I would say stay away, and RUN! This relationship was my first serious one and things started fast, it was good and intense in the beginning. They value their independence and space and HATE feeling like they have to explain anything to you (Especially where they are going, where they been, who they were with, what they did even if they come in after 2am)
They are ladies men, they flirt alot, but it's not flirting to them it's being "friendly". They do cheat and don't beat themselves up about it. They are all head (logic) no heart (feeling). It's like pulling a tooth to get them to be emotionally expressive. Not to say that they don't feel. They just might feel and feel very deeply but it's near impossible to express what they feel.
They are often two different people, hard and cold and soft and loving all in the same minute or hour.
In a relationship they can get stuck ina rut, the kind sweet things stop, and they stop "working" for it.
They are kind and giving people and value friendships, and family though.
They like to help people out any way they can and will often do just that.
Lovemaking, nothing out of the ordinary, but nothing boring either.
I feel like I am leaving something out but if I remember I will post it for you.
Overall, be careful. Don't give up the chase, don't crowd them, don't infringe on their independence. Don't be emotional, try to keep your emotions in check so you can relate to their logical side. Don't look for affirmation from him, be secure, stable and be up for mind games. GOOD LUCK!!!!
He's not as bad as you have described but I have seen some of this behavior but in a "I'm being honest with you kind of way to let you know where I'm coming from" so I'm keeping a little hope alive lol. THANK YOU!
