Last year I met a male cancer. After our first meeting, he told me he was ready to make it official, that he knew he wanted to be with me. I told him I wanted to take things slow. He wanted me with him everyday. He has no friends, is a mama's boy, is very sensitive, shy, and has low self-esteem. As time went on, I fell in love with him. I loved his love for family, his sensitivity, the fact that he was a country boy, etc. I opened up about my feelings and he told me that hasn't developed feelings for me in fear of being hurt like the women in his past have. He said he doesn't think he's good enough for me. How do you go from wanting to be with me to not having feelings for me later on? I love him, I do, and I'm a loving person which is why its been so easy for me to shower him with, especially considering the verbal and emotional abuse he's endured from family and ex's. I eventually walked away and two months later he started wanting to spend time together, but he's still not opening up about his feelings. Sometimes he'll invite me over, knowing he has plans to go out and gets annoyed when I get annoyed and leave.
Do I need to move one from this cancer?

I think you should just walk away. His actions certainly don't show that he cares for you. He needs to sort himself out. If you keep initiating contact, it'll just give him the ok to do what he wants. I do agree with the shy stuff, because i'm kinda shy sometimes. & all Cancers love their Moms. We like to be loved just like our mom has or should have loved us. I love my mom, but im not overly dependant on her. Because she's a Sag, i don't want to over crowd her. But your got issues that he needs to fix. It's not your fault he is acting this way. So don't worry about it 🙂

Move on.

Hell yes move on. There are some amazing Crabs out there, but there are also some really rotten ones too. Just get out there and keep meeting people! Do not hide in your house and think that your soul mate will fall in your lap!

I agree with everyone...Move on
If he cannot love himself then surely he cannot love you.
Taking it slow is a very healthy way of approaching love and getting to know someone.
The red flag is him not wanting to take it slow and suddenly fall out of love because you won't agree to go at his relationship pace. People that behave this way have some serious issues. He's toxic.
Typical emotionally unavailable man. The kind that can only be in love when he's in hot pursuit chasing and trying to win but once she's captured and ready to love him back he's so full of low self esteem he can't reciprocate.
He initiates love but can stand the thought of being hurt so he hurts you first. It's a toxic pattern.
Be good to yourself by running as far away as you can....
