I just started dating this cancer guy 3 weeks ago. He came on so affectionate but then I got snowed in with him for two weeks. It was great the whole time, but when I left he got distant and no longer sending heart emojis and saying I’m beautiful. Just short texts. Should I say something or just act like everything is fine? I’m sad 😞

I suggest not being overtly needy, and getting in your head too much. Let him have space to think. I mean you guys haven't even dated a month, and he was with you straight for 2 weeks. That's a lot for any new relationship.

Usually guys need a bit of distance after intimacy. Have you heard of the rubber band analogy? Its cliché but a good one.

You should absolutely reach out. But in a chill way without expectation of an instant response. Let him know you had a good time despite the snow in. Sweet and simple. Then leave it be and let him reach out to you next.
