Hey there,

So, I recently met a cancer man online and this guy, is literally, like someone broke in to my head and created my dream man.

I feel so lucky to have met him and he has actually said he feels lucky to have met me a few times as I have been thinking it.

The thing is, he's not like any other guys I have dated so I don't really know how to play this, even the things I am feeling myself are strange to me. I just feel like I never want to mess him around or hurt him ever, I want him to be happy, it feels like my duty when I'm with him and I love that.

We've been dating 2 weeks (I know right, not long) and we've been on 5 dates. He has taken me to the best restaurants in the city, and I've been impressed that he's made reservations and booked movies and really thought through the details of each of our meetings.

We're getting on so well and both of us have noted that it does feel like we are dating longer. He has made throwaway remarks - like when I said I loved how he made a great effort to plan the dates "Get used to it" and when I mentioned I liked Tapas food he said "We should go to Spain, I'll check out flights". Then I complained I'd broken the cover on my iPad and he said "I know what I'm getting you for Christmas" it was all in jest and I'm clever enough not to read in to it but still he seems like such a nice person I don't think he would ever string me along either. I'm just kind of going through a "This must be too good to be true" feeling I guess..

So, here's the tricky bit, and the end of each date we plan the next one and they have all been just 2 or 3 days apart and as much as I feel like we are growing fonder of each other - I really don't get much from him in between. I didn't mind so much at the very start after 1 or 2 dates but now I'm longing to hear from him and he really isn't texting me much at all. On our third date he said he wanted to text me more but was worried that he would disturb me. He said he was always excited to see my name come up on his phone. I said "Please, text me whenever you like, I love to hear from you". But he didn't change. So, then I decided to try and communicate with him a little more, to open the gates a little and he would literally just reply once or twice and then go back to not contacting me.

Our dates have been wonderful and he has been a complete gentleman, all we have done is kiss and hold hands, so I guess he maybe still sees things as being early days.

I have a little worry that maybe he doesn't think about me when we are in between dates and this thought upsets me as I think about him a lot - despite having a very busy job and hectic gym schedule, normally I can put guys out of my head easy, but not this one, he's too special.

Thank you in advance for helping me figure this out 🙂

I'm a cancer man and doing the same with a girl I have been meeting so it must be a thing. It's more because I don't want to bother her or for her to get bored with me messaging her though. Maybe to give myself time to consider how I feel about it as well. I expect it's the same for your guy

With a guy like this it can be one of two things.

1. He is a fantastic guy who isn't much of one to text a lot - in which case get used to that.

2. He is a douche bag who has 3 other girls on the go at the same time.

When I read your post I have to be honest, it sounded red flaggy. Talking about him getting in your head and being your perfect man - talking grand gestures of trips to Spain when he can't even call you.

This screams out to me that he is a player / narcissist / sociopath. I am sure you read that and think "no way he is so wonderful", but these people DO get in your head, and they DO listen to your idea of a perfect man and they become that to hook you in. Smart women marry men like this without realising so don't think you might be the only one.

Watch his actions, not his words and if he makes you feel confused, or "longing to hear from him" then dump and run. New boyfriends are not supposed to leave you longing for them or asking for help on a website - they are supposed to make you feel secure, understood and cared for all the time.

Anyone can be charming and play the role of the dream man, but good people don;t usually do that on dates 1 - 3.
