How can I tell if this Cancer guy likes me?

We met about three months ago, spent one night together, only chatted, no flirting or touch involved. We kept in touch after that, but we live kind of far away so we only text each other or talking online. The night we spent together was great, we talked and laughed, and he stared at me, a lot.
In the first month we often message each other as long as we were both on line, half the time I initiated, and half the time he did, we kind of took in turn. We talk about all kinds of stuff, our lives, works, dreams, families or just some random funny stories.
The second month we started to text each other on daily basis, and he would text me almost every night until he fell asleep. But that's when things started to change.
I got tagged in some old pics on Facebook with a boy hugging me and kissing me. My cancer guy didn't mention it, but the second day he started to acting cold, and after a few days he just stopped texting me. And just when I thought everything was over, after three weeks, one day, he text me again, apologized for not texting for so long and told me he was really busy with his work and one of his friends has been sick. So we started texting again, and this time he told me that he was attracted to me the first time we met, but he was just too shy to tell me. But then I made another stupid mistake, I accidentally told him that I was sleeping with a friend. So he disappeared again. This time I didn't even tried to get back in touch with him, I thought have I completely screwed it up. But after about two weeks, he messages me again, and again didn't mention anything, not even a clue why he disappeared. Now we talk every other day, sort of, and the conversation is deep and personal.
I'm so confused, does he even like me? Why did he just disappear and why did he came back?

Its just one thing they take very seriously. It can happen also understand Cancer males have really bad mood swings. They do want to settle in do time. Show him you're worth it. I would erase those pictures with guys that make you guys look like a thing. If you want this guy there will be sacrifices. Let him know there is know other like you stand out. I'm sure you're doing a great job. He keeps coming back. That's a good sign. Don't lose him.

He called me once in the morning, and I was still at that friend's place. He asked me what I was doing, I panicked cause he barely calls me and told him straight away that I'm at a friend's place, he asked me what for, and I'm not good at lies, plus I don't wanna lie to him, so I was just like "err...did you sleep well last night?". So I think he knew from that, it was horrible.
I can see why you are angry, but the thing is, the Cancer guy is not my bf, we never even really flirted, and he never told me he likes me or wants this to be serious, so we are not really on. About him telling me he was attracted to me, it didn't sound really seriously, and I'm afraid of asking him what he really thinks of me because I don't want to pressure on him. I think I like him, but we are not dating, I don't even know what he really feels about me yet.
I really wish he could make it clear, so I would know there is actually something to fight for.

Thx for the support 🙂
But he has to really like me to get angry right? Or does he just randomly get angry like that? He's being very friendly to me but there's no clear sign shows that he likes me. He never sounded angry, just always so clam. And if he was really angry, then why did he come back both times by himself? What if he was telling the truth? That he was just happened to be busy both times and couldn't fit me into his timetable. This is driving me crazy... Why can't they just make things clear...

Oxymoron with a cup of tea.... *sips* Hmmmmmmm You say he got randomly angry. Then you say he never sounds angry - always calm.

Besides, who really isn't making things clear here? Let's restructure your story okay?
Cancer Man:
- Meets and chats.
- Texts and continue to text
- Goes off for a while.
- Comes back and texts and continue to text
- Says he likes you
- Goes off
- Comes back and texts.

You:
- Meets and chats
- Texts and continue to text
- Posts/likes/shares photos of kissing and hugging other man/men. Cancer guy sees and gets confused. Shakes head and holds fragile heart together at the insensitivity of not editing your friend settings so that he doesn't have to see this. Still, because he's feeling you, he gathers courage and returns to try again.
- Cancer man comes back. Texts and continue to text
- In order not to be heartbroken from such FB pictures again, he confesses his attraction. Hopeful that he's alright for you to consider in your grand adventure.
- You, on the other hand, are quite insensitive to his feelings so, you blurt out that you're sleeping with another man. Cancer man's heartbreaks for the second time.
- He goes off to gather himself and make some decisions
- Comes back and texts. Continue to text
- You come on DXP to ask, "Does he like me?"

Who is sending mixed messages here?

Do you even like this man? I mean, I find it hard to believe a woman who is attracted to a man is able to shut off the preoccupying thoughts she has of him long enough to concentrate on another man and go off and sleep with him.

How is it even possible?

If you don't like Cancer man like that - tell him now. I don't think this thing you have can stand a third of your calibre of heartbreaks.

Can't believe I just lost such a long post I typed in...
Well, long story short, I dated a cancer boy when I was in school, long distance as well, and he disappeared on me four times, I didn't do anything wrong, he told me he just couldn't handle the distance, but also cared too much to break up. I asked him not to do that again, or at least just do the break up stuff, he promised, and what happened in the end? A fourth disappear, the relationship ended with no closure.
this cancer guy is doing the same confusing stuff again. He would text me everyday for a few days and then retreat for a few days, and then do the same stuff all over again. He doesnt act angry before he disappears, and never talks about it afterwards. He makes plans about us meeting up, but when I really start to discuss with him, he is all like "well, it's still quite far away, we don't need to make the decisions so soon", almost like he is gonna draw back again.
Im really confused, what's the deal here? Does he like me? Does he really wanna meet up? Or I'm just one of his texting friends he could pass some leisure time with?

It was just a friendly peck on the check, and in some other pics we were dancing together, that guy is a long time friend of mine from uni.

@aurora
Again, thx for the understanding. I'm really confused here. And sex and love don't mix. Although when im really in a relationship, I won't sleep with other people, and it's a deal breaker for me if my bf sleeps with other people.

@Jynja @FieryBullette
I know I really messed up with the phone call thing, I didn't know what I was thinking, it was in the morning, and I was so happy that he called, but also panicked. Anyways, no excuse, I did mess up that one.
