Dance men...ever take YEARS to claim your romantic interest—

This is the 3rd time within the last few years a cancer male friend of fine has been friends with me at least 2-3 years then state their romantic interest in me

Should I be flattered or insulted? Have you known all the while but for whatever reason held off?

I knew one who has been interested for almost all his lifetime, but the girl had to initiate in the end. I think this is because they give you subtle hints, and if you dont pick up on them and react within the allotted time, then they will just pull back and watch from a distance. This is my opinion

Subtle to the point that a reasonable person would second guess themselves and be left wondering if there is more to a cancer's subtle hint. My cancer ex best friend had a crush on me and he was so discreet that I never knew until I got with my BF. According to him, him being nice to me and doing all sorts of lovely gestures was a huge indication. I was like maybe you're not used to nice gestures, but someone who is isn't going to interpret nice gestures as you being interested.

Yes, it is almost as if it were non-existent, but deep inside he knows that he likes you, so he is pretty much the only one who knows. Probably the only thing that we can notice is their deep unhappiness and constant bad mood. We see them do this and say, "I hope all is well and fine for him, maybe something happened ately that made him sad." But then he is like this because you aren't responding to his hints 😆

LMAO! Yes, precisely!!! You stole the words out of my mouth. The dude is unhappy because he can't get past his fear of rejection so he's frustrated with himself and the suppression of his interest.
