Help! Should I walk away or keep trying?

The moment I met this Cancer Man, I have been head over heels for him. I'm a Scorpio Woman. I told him that I really liked him. He told me he didn't think it was a good idea because we're co-workers and have the same circle of friends. He said it would "end badly". He said we should just remain friends. He said it was a hard decision for him to make. He also told me he doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone. He hasn't dated in 2 years.

So we have been friends. We hang out once a week and are very chatty in the office. Before he would hang out with me whenever I asked, but now he will tell me no or that he's busy. He's told me bits of his past relationships, which sounded like always ended badly. He has a good relationship with family and close friends. He admits that he is guarded and that he'll always be guarded.

His rejection has hurt me a lot. I feel insecure and many times feel like I can't comfortably be myself. All the negative Scorpio traits come out, jealousy, insecurity, resentful, possessive, obsessive, and manipulative.

I'm at a point where I just want to walk away from the whole thing because I'm just so hurt.

Is there anything I could do turn it around? Or is this a lost cause?

Thank you. Honestly, I feel like the damage is done. I let him see too much of my heart. I think space is the best for both of us.

Cancer& Scorpio is a match made in heaven.

Scorpio Woman?

Thank you everyone. After a recent talk with him, I decided it's best to just shut the door on this.

He already said he wants to be just friends. Time to give up and move on.
