need advice and help with a cancer guy.

Hi, I really really need some advice and guidance. I'm a single mom (Libran) who has been out of the dating game for far too long to even understand how men's brains work anymore.

Met a Cancer/Leo cusp man, but he's definitely very Cancerian, through a forum. A few months later, what started off as just another chat suddenly became more intimate and the next thing i know, we were going to meet up for casual sex. the sex was really great. but the thing that struck me the most was the feeling i have being with him. i was so comfortable being just myself when i'm around him. i didnt even have this feeling with my ex husband! theeeennnn, he rejected my invitation for another round of casual sex. ok, fine with me. i thought that was it, i will never see or talk to him ever again.

thing is, the friendship blossomed. i felt that this guy is actually a best friend kind of friend. something that i actually hoped could blossomed into something more, of course. after the rejection, our chats got more intimate than ever. we'd sometimes teased each other over personal things and the things we did when we had sex. he does notice things about me since i post a lot on my fb. he doesn't 'like' most of my posts but i know he reads those cause we've talked about those things. he once told me he saw a girl who looked so much like my daughter. said he even showed my daughter's pic to her mom to make the comparison. pls, someone tell me this is a sign of interest. 😆.

so... now question is, how do i know if he into me or not?

i do feel like he is stringing me like a little clueless kitten and yes, i do feel friendzoned. i dont know if he's dating other girls but he does casually tell me about other girls in the love classifieds on the forum when we met. it does bother me but i had no choice but to play it cool. i do feel that he knows i like him (cause i've thrown all signs at him!!) but i also felt that he's still very guarded.

he's somewhat i can consider as a guy best friend and that's what scares me the most. i've thought about telling him how i felt but at the same time, there's a big risk of losing him as a friend which i dont really want to because he's always there for me when i needed advice.

all opinions and advice are truly appreciated.

One thing I do know is that Cancers take their time deciding on relationships .. They rely on the feelings and emotions .. Don't chase a Cancer , they hate it .. And be careful not to make him feel any pressure about being with you. Take it one day at a time , and don't put all of your eggs into his Cancer basket. Make him see how your the catch , then he'll catch you 🙂
