About a month or so ago, I confronted a coworker of mine who's a cancer male . I could sense that he was attracted to me, for a while now, but would never really say it. Instead , he resorted to mind games. Which I don't tolerate. He'd mentioned a girl in my presence, randomly out of no where, And immediately in my face right after. Almost as if he was begging for my attention or looking for a reaction... or both . I recognized this behavior w/ a previous girl. But to make sure I wasn't jumping to conclusions , I began to distance myself. The more I backed away, the more he came forward. At that point, I was sure he was playing mind games. I got to a point where, I couldn't take it & my feelings were deeply hurt... so I confronted him. Not in person. I sent him a msg over a social network. I would've preferred telling him in person, but we were working together that same day & I don't like causing a scene or having people in my business. I said what I felt & I removed myself to keep from getting hurt even more. Shortly after , I heard about him & ... whoever the girl is , were having issues. And he'd been doing things that practically erased her from his life. It lasted almost a month. Then suddenly , they're together again , but he's still not referring to her as his girlfriend. Although I do still care about him , I don't want to know any of this. But that's not easy when we have mutual friends & coworkers who still don't know anything about what happened between him & I . Anyway , I can't deny it sparked my curiosity. I heard cancers develope a "facade" to hide their true feelings. Is that what he's doing ? If so , how do I get him to talk to me?
I confronted a Cancer male

He was probably just using you to mess with the other girl and/or keep you around as backup. Just run find someone else don't look twice at him. I'm beginning to think Cancers have no souls.

....ehh...she knows nothing about me. I only heard of her once when he mentioned her out of the blue, which I'm sure was only to see how I would react. A few people knew about her but he never talked to me about her. He always made sure to create the image of being single, even after mentioning a girl in my presence. For example , the next time we worked together after he mentioned her, we were in the break room & he felt the need to tell me how he has text msgs in his phone from 3 days ago that he hasn't responded to... why would I need to know that ? Just 2 days before , I heard you say you've been spending time w/ someone else... now you creating this image that she's not that important...? Smh.

Not really sure why you would want to deal with someone like that. He sounds like an annoying brat.
It's that I want to deal w/ someone like that . I just have a problem w/ choosing to see the good in people . Although, I think underneath all the BS, he's a good person, I know better than to sweep that kind of behavior under the rug. I also kind of regret not giving him a chance to say anything back. I deleted & blocked him right after I sent my msg. Only b/c I felt like he didn't care about me or how his behavior effected me. So, instead of sitting around twirling my thumbs hoping to get a response , I left. Idk if it hurt his feelings, but that was never my intention. I was only protecting myself from being hurt more. I've seen him a few times when I've stopped into my job & each time, he's tried to draw attention to himself. He'd either break talking louder than usual or pretending to avoid me, but whenever I look up he's right there... which is why I feel he wants to discuss it. He just refuses to.

Been there, done that. It's not easy to deal with a situation like yours. Its been three months and I'm still dealing with the bullshit. Just move on and hope that he does too. The best of luck to you.

What is there " to know about You "? How can your feelings be hurt if u barely know the person ? You have been seducing the man and now u feel hurt as it did not work out quite the same as with other men. Oh well...
Wtf are you talking about? I didn't "seduce" anybody. If you wanna get right to it, it was him seducing ME, while stringing someone else along in the process hoping I would react a certain way. Get your facts straight. My feelings were hurt b/c instead of making an effort he chose to play games. Something I would've never done & havent done b/c I know it would potentially hurt him. But he did that to me
So you can take your insensitive ignorant ass comments somewhere else. Asshole.

I dont believe she is. Honestly, I'm pretty sure she forced herself on him. She had been referring to him as her boyfriend w/o him ever giving her the title of being his girlfriend. And still is. I know too much of this b/c mutual people talk about it around me. But they don't know theres tension between him & I right now. So, I've basically been getting information w/o digging for it. As I said right after I sent him the msg, he was ready to drop her just like that. So do I real believe she's important ? No. And I doubt I'm the 'backup plan as someone else in this post said b/c if I were, why was he ready to leave her at the drop of a dime?...

Why is he still keeping her around though? It's obvious that she has something that he likes or wants. He's not even denying the fact that he is messing with her. That alone says something. He's not going to get rid of her because he knows that she'll always be there, no matter what he does. Think about it. You said that people talk about him and her. Do they talk about you and him? Are you sure that sh
She doesn't know anything about you?
Well certain people we worked w/ never wanted us near each other. So I'm sure they sensed the attraction to. Why he's keeping her around? If I can be honest w/o anyone thinking I'm full of myself, maybe to fill a void ? Maybe it's a "facade "? Maybe it's b/c I left & she's was an easy target? ... either way , I can tell there's some underlying feelings he wants to express but won't. So instead, he puts up a front. When I saw him last, he pretended to be avoiding me but every where I went & looked up he was there. Watching me. But would hurry to look away when I noticed. That's why I believe it's all a front. He's just stubborn.

You said your coworkers don't know what happened between you two? What happened? Other than you getting upset he mentioned another girl?

They don't know that there's tension between us right now. They don't know I've confronted him for his behavior. But they did notice how often he was in my face more than usual. I'm not mad about him mentioning another girl. I have a problem w/ him only doing it for a reaction. When he mentioned her the first time (And only time ) I was like Okay. Whatever. He wasn't talking directly to me. So I thought nothing much of it. Then it went from that to him painting the image that he's not seeing anyone. And if someone mentioned her to him in front of me, he starts talking under his breath & immediately change the subject b/c I was standing there. I caught on to it. But before jumping the gun. I just backed away . The more I backed away, the more he came forward. Telling me everything w/o saying anything . So, I called him out . And here we are...

Your feelings are hurt because you dig him and he's not made his intentions clear and asked you out on a date. Know what that means? He's not as into you as you think he is. Sometimes men flirt just to know if they've still got it. If he was *really* that into you, he would have asked you out. Instead he picked another girl and yeah that really sucks but your best bet is to move on. He has and you're the only one smarting here.

Capricorn Girl, If a man wants you badly enough, he'll ask you out, not see another girl & pretend it's not happening. He's keeping you on a string and you're falling for his baloney. He just wants to nail you and the other girl. A good man wouldn't run his business like this & wouldn't hide a woman so that he can keep his options open. Very very bad sign.

I actually just came back to retract the last statement I made because I found out my friend whos a girl is a cancer and I love her to pieces.

He keeps her and you on around so he can feel wanted I know a guy just like this who is also a cancer male. He looks at you to give you hope so he can string you along. He wants you to think he wants you. Trust me move on.

My issue isn't that he's dealing w/ someone else. My issue is that he tried to pull me into stupid shit. I know how a guy is supposed to treat me. Hence, I left. Deleted & blocked. Except we still work together. So I still have to deal w/ him in some way .

Are you familiar w/ the phrase "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" ? People like you clearly are just miserable . You don't get on this site to give any real advice
Just to cause trouble & intentionally try to rub people the wrong way . Pathetic. Keep talking if it makes you feel important . This is my last response to you 🙂 _??

i eat snickers?dats my input and i the scorch have broken the internet.

Capricorn girl, You say your issue is that he keeps trying to pull you in and yet you're in complete control of that. He can only play you for a fool for as long as you're willing to allow him. He's got another woman in his life. Sniffing in your direction tells you he's not a faithful guy. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some time. Cut bait and swim.
