My first post after stumbling unto this informative and enlightening forum, so please bear with me.
When a cancer says "I love you" after only a month of dating, is this a ploy to get my heart, a reflection of the typical cancerian "falling in love with love," or a combination of these and other possibilities?
Background: He's a highly intelligent, perceptive, mature, Christian, and career-conscious 31 year old male, who's been hurt in love, particularly by his ex-girlfriend over a year ago. Since our first date, he's been quite proactive. I've been honest in telling him that I'm not in love with him yet as it takes a long time for me to give my heart to someone, but that once I do, it's for keeps. He's been patient, sweet, and witty. He's met some frustrations at work recently and has been less proactive, which I can definitely understand since I was like that at the start of our relationship...but it's hard for me to trust men who tell you he's "in love with you" so fast in a relationship.
Given what I've read about Cancers and their shell-like exterior, is it normal to show their vulnerabilities/feelings so early in a relationship?
Cancers, any thoughts would be must appreciated. Thanks!
