You waited to long to respond. He was prolly holding his phone waiting on your txt and it brought back all those feelings of insecurity when you didn't respond.

You've admitted to yourself that you want him back so don't play any wait games when it comes to communication with him.

You can either wait for him to reach out again (and respond quickly), or you could reach out on your own. Show him your interested still. Maybe offer to meet him on his lunch break or for a before-work-coffee.

Actually the same situation.
I'm a Taurus girl and we have known each other for 60 months, met ocassionaly on business but never after.
It's him who initiates talking but it was me who actually suggested going somewhere. He said whe couldn't but kept texting me.
Now I don't know whether he just has noone to text or is still interested as I thought at first.
Don't get this cancer man.

Damned ! KinglyCrab, where were you when I needed advice. I'm the sucky same with my crab and have been waiting so patiently for him to make the moves. I was in a angry mood at weekend with him coz he didn't show up for a date, then didn't contact me after. Bumped into him in the pub and he was so happy to see me as "he didn't want to bother me coz he'd missed the date", insecure pain in the ass. I told him straight and it seemed to work. Yes be bang on up front with what you want. Me I'm still driving myself nuts as I don't want to push too hard, but push I do !

Thanks kingly crab.

See thing is I know we we broke up he was swamped with work. And the project he is currently working on is 3 hours away and he is commuting daily. Also I live an hour from him the other way.

So I think him replying and not ignoring me means something right.

And kingly crab that is exactly what I want to do.... be straight upfront and tell I'm sorry when I was accusing. And he doesn't have anything to be insecure about.

But it looks like I might have to say it over text

Ask him directly if he ever gonna ask you out. If he stills stays insecure. Don't respond. Disappear. Men don't respond to words. They respond to no contact. Tspecially cancers that need to rethink twice thrice.... If nothing happens...girl , tough it up, learn from it and bounce! I'm sure there are other great guys who would want you as much as you want them.

j

Yes many. But I want him....what will I do with another guy when my heart loves someone else

Ah...girl... I so understand you! But it's betterr you stop melting into somebody and use this time to discover yourself. Take up a hobby! if he knows you have life rather than waiting arouns, if there's something left, he will revel it sooner himself.

Do yourself a favour, and find another bloke! If you don't mind waiting forever a day, until you're about to draw your pension by all means stick around! But I wouldn't get hung on this guy - continue to get out there and date others if any nice men come into your life. Serioiusly don't pine after one man; it'll emotionally suck you dry!! Trust me, I've just had to deal with it, and it's not nice?!
That's exactly the wrong kind of advice to give a girl who is actually serious about a Cancer man.

How can I get him back? At times he seems interested and then he dissappears again. Like last week he wanted to get together. I replied a few days later and he said not this week or next. Busy with work.

What can I do. What would appeal to him.

We broke up cause I made him feel insecure. And now I want him back
Generally cancer men have a hard time letting go of anything they have gotten used to. How long were you in a relationship with him before you broke up? The higher his investment, the easier it is for you to get back. This doesn't mean he is a revolving door.

Replying late and all that is perfectly fine, I an currently dating a cap girl we text eachother once or twice a week, not more. But then I have my moon in Capricorn, who knows.

Why on EARTH would ANYONE hang around waiting for someone to make up their mind what they want to do? I dated a Cancer for 6 months; he's just disappeared, no reason why, just vanished! I am not going to sit @ home pining after a guy, hoping in vain that he'll reappear. No, get the heck out there and continue to get on with my life. By all means if someone else comes into your life that you like and wish to date, then by all means go for it. After all you owe the person you're dating nothing; you're not in a relationship with them, so why should your life be put on hold for them? Non-sense!

Rather continue to have my self respect, than sit pining after a dead arse man / relationship who doesn't know what he wants. Seems really silly imo!

All true, except that you're superimposing the frustrations of your relationship on to hers. In this case it was her that broke this off and trying to get it back.

Ask him out and tell him you would like to tlk to him. If he acts flaky and doesn't value the effort on your part, dump him and get on with your life.

Good, now that you're sure. Get him to where you are, help him see the value of this. You're a Cap girl, you can appeal to his good sense, I am sure of that.

I generally think Cancer/Cap can work well, both have the right stabilizing positive impact on eachother. Both signs don't have too much negativity going on, which is another big plus.

I just can't imagine a Cancer man refusing a woman who tells him that he is the love of her life. We want nothing more in life than someone to say that to us.

well can I be annoying for a second and ask you this... what if you haven't done anything but prove to him that he is the only person you want. HE also admits that you are amusing person but he is too afraid push pass being anything super serious only because he hasn't let go of his past hurt from an ex fiancé. Then he just disappears and stop connecting you. Should you give space then try to connect him again or just let it go?

You have already done your part in telling him, what more is there for you to do? Sometimes, you just got to let people be for them to realize and come back. If they don't come back, you got your answer.
