Is this common for cancers?

There is a cancer that I am interested in - and it is clear it is mutual. We've been calling eachother alot etc and he's been inviting me out. However, he invited me out last week, and I couldn't go. He seemed disappointed that I couldn't meet him at some point (he lives an hour away and was near where I live that night) . I then didn't respond to a text he sent at the end of the night. Anyways, now I called him on Wednesday and asked him what he was doing that weekend. He waited 2 days to call back and said "sorry - I've been really busy lately" and that he can't really do much cuz he has to work all weekend. Is he just mad cuz he thinks I blew him off last weekend and his text? Or is he just not into me? I just don;t get how he could be so eager to see me the weekend before and now this?? Just wondering if I should forget about it, or do the opposite and give reassurance! Btw we have not been physical yet(besides kissing once).

you said it all. he was looking forward to hanging with you and you didn't respond to his text so he got disappointed. with that he is making you pay by not answering you back right away...

yep..cansir said it all the truth...

hey Cansir! 🙂

If you can't take a simple minute to answer my text I won't make the time for you.

If you had a legit reason for not going then fine, I'll accept that. But if you can't take the time to respond to my text or call you just got bumped down my priority pole.

hey lostsoul hope you are doing well and tex-can summed it up pretty well.

Well, he didn't ask a question in the text, just made a comment on what he did that night and such. Didn't think it warranted a response. And I had plans with some friends already that night - I was going out near where he had plans at and so he told me that maybe we could meet up later. I said ok, and I would let him know if I could later. I couldn't so I never contacted him again.

Why is it that courtesy does not work both ways with cancer.....they expect you to respond asap or they are hurt however when they do not or show no manners its ok?

Hmnn k. That's a bit different.

It could be then that he was waiting for a yes/no response regardless. Or, it could simply be he's busy cause of work lol.

Bury this one instance and try again next week to see what happens. If he doesn't initiate by.... wed then go for it. Let us know. 😉
