First time meeting Cancer guy

Long story short: I broke up with my ex back in Christmas. We were still "friends" until June when he disappeared. Following friend's advice I joined an app to make friends. Met Cancer guy on that app (I'm really shy, so I don't really talk to many guys in there) and we hit it off from the beginning. We texted constantly for about a month before we met this weekend at a music festival. I didn't really care much about meeting him even though we got along so well (heaven knows dating apps can only host so many nice guys); I was expecting the worst of the situation although I was hoping for the best.
Some quick facts about him: He's quiet, but fun; caring and very straight to the point. He's Korean, if that matters, but he's been here for 11 years.
Why I thought he might like me (before meeting for the 1st time): He would text me all the time even when he was hanging out with his friends. He once took a picture of a street near his parents house because it had my name and sent it to me. He wanted me to hang out with him and his friends during his birthday and was bummed I couldn't make it. He texts me everyday when he wakes up.
At the festival: I went with a friend and he was really nice and gentlemanly to both of us. He would constantly ask if I was okay and if I needed some rest (he knows I don't go to concerts often), he would grab my friend's wrist or forearm when walking out of the crowd, but would grab my hand instead. We lost my friend once while walking to meet his friends and instead of going with them, he told them to go ahead while he waited with me for my friend. At some point, I got a headache and he gave me his bottle of water to drink from, then walked me to the first aid tent to get some ibuprofen (asking around for directions). While sitting watching the concert, he told me to place my hands on my ears to hear better. I thought he was joking, so I just laughed it off, so he got up and went around me, then placed his hands on my ears. My friend started feeling sick, so we took her to the first aid tent, and they didn't allow him in, so he went back to his friends, but texted me while I was still with my friend. When we got back, we hung out with his friends for a bit, went to dance, and his friends wanted to rest, so he stayed with us while his friends left. Come to think of it, he pretty much ditched his friends the whole day. At the end, I gave him a late birthday present I'd gotten for him, he gave me a hug, and we both left.

We were supposed to meet after the festival to go eat, but he said he had to go home instead. After, we've been texting, but not as much and he hasn't really shown any interest in meeting again. My friend says she thinks he likes me, but I'm not so sure.
I didn't care much before we met, but when we met he was just so awesome, and now I'm crushing. Hahaha but I don't want to come off to him as super clingy or needy or anything, so I'm not sure what to do...

Seems he likes you. Just go with the flow. The biggest mistake people make is trying to play games to gauge the other persons feelings. Don't try to make him jealous. Don't talk about exes or any other men. Even if he asks about your past-downplay it as much as possible. Trust me on this. Thinking of you with other people gets their mind feeling and makes them insecure/jealous.

Try to be as emotionally stable as possible. You can be cute clingy but not crazy clingy...like sending 100 texts asking where he is and why isn't he talking to you. But you can text him and say "thinking of you" "have a good day" things like that.

With Cancer men I recommend holding off on sex until a relationship is established. For a myriad of reasons.

That makes sense... 🙂 I haven't talked about my past relationships with him, and neither has he. That might be a reason why I was a bit confused.. He never really asked if I was single or anything, and never really brought up if he had a gf either, so I just assumed he wasn't interested in me that way. :/

aah and now you asked why he didn't shown any interest again like the first time he did. you don't be a clingy or needy type kind of a woman but it's good to drop a line and ask. For me, I don't want to feel I am a fool waiting a man when in fact the actions speaks volume.

Yeah, I mean, I was always interested because we hit it off right away, but at the same time I was expecting the worst of the situation cuz I didn't want to like someone I hadn't even met (what if he wasn't who he said he was?). But I did always reply and sent him cute pics and stuff... After the festival, though, we just haven't texted as much, and I feel like I'm more interested than he is and always initiate our conversations (even though I know he's working on a project for a client and is super busy). So I kinda try not to text him as much because I don't want him to feel like I'm annoying. 😢
