Ok, so my first cancer I ever dated didn't go so well...
Recently, I have met a new Cancer and because of my previous experience I pretty much kept it friendly but there are times I begin to develop feelings which I am keeping at bay...Well we chat a lot, I text him and he'll text me but as I said everything is friendly and pretty much constant...We have a ton in common though we see the world from a different angle and we have also joked about how different we are but how we attract to one another.
Here's the thing...at times he disappears and I don't hear from him for a while...not literally disappear but I don't hear from him, like a withdrawal...I don't contact him..I just wait for a msg. from him..
So I was wondering from you Cancers do you want someone to msg you or should I continue along the path we are going and be patient when he leaves for awhile...
I am a Taurus btw..and thanks in advance for your response!
If you feel comfortable with it, I would say continue to contact him when you want. Cancers like reassurance and he may just be holding back because he doesnt want to overwhelm you with his emotion. If you contact him and he responds happily, then this is most likely the case. Dont overwhelm him either, but dont hold back because then it can become confusing. Sometimes we like those that are more direct.
Sounds like you guys are in the early stages of your relationship/friendship. So I would say be yourself but understand that he has to feel in the right frame of mind to communicate, be patient but aware. I say assert yourself, I have noticed Cancer men like assertive women. But keep it along the lines of friendship. Good luck.
Thank you racante62 and LunarMaiden for your responses! Very much appreciated them..
We have known each other for about 5 months so pretty much still in infancy... I'll usually go without hearing from him like 4-5 days..I know he is in school for his masters in a hard field and education is very important to him. I'll just continue to be patient with him and see where it goes. I may take your advice racante62 about being more direct. I can display a flirtatious tongue at times and I have been holding my tongue when speaking to him but I'll see where it goes..
Anyways thanks again for your suggestions!
