As a scorpio, I'm pretty direct. A certain Cancer in my life is not. I'm going to post a snippet of conversation we just had. For the life of me I cannot figure out what he wants.

Me: I hope everything is going well with you.

cancer: All is well. Maybe we (meaning, the two of us) can go to (a certain place) tomorrow if we are free.

cancer: Maybe person A and person B would be interested too? Just a thought.

Me: Sounds good (cancer). I've heard good things about that place. Person A will NOT go but I can ask person B if you'd like.

cancer: OK. It is up to you about asking person B. It might be interesting if person B has some stories. Either way.

So, what do you think? Is he hoping that I will ask person B or not? I wish he'd just come right out and tell me but that isn't in his make up. What is he hinting at?

sounds like he wants some alone time but doesn't want it to feel akward so he's trying to have some people included to bounce off some of that nervous energy he might feel around you...scorpio's are direct and intense so this might be a bit intimidating for him, jus take the reigns on this one, go out with him alone and have fun, him suggesting the outing means he's open to spending his time with you, take him up on it, forget inviting B... no one wants to be a third wheel.

LOL! I think that he just meant exactly what he said. Sometimes, we can get ourselves confused by looking for the hidden meaning when there really was one to begin with. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

I would just take it as he thought it might be cool, but didn't care that much either way. So, whatever your preference is would be fine with him. But, I could be wrong...

Update:

I decided to ask the other person if he wanted to come because the cancer seemed like he wanted him to come. The other person couldn't come, so I let cancer know that the other person couldn't come but that I'd still like to go. I also gave him an out by saying that I wouldn't be offended if he wanted to wait until there was a bigger group to go.

We ended up going with just the two of us and it was quite fun. I could tell he was REALLY nervous, so I tried to make him comfortable by keeping things low key, light and fun. I accidentally bumped his leg with my foot while uncrossing and recrossing my leg to get comfortable. His face turned beet red. I cracked a joke about my lack of coordination and then things got back to low key again.

He did hint that he wanted to come to an event I'm having which is the boldest I've seen him be hint wise. Of course I'll invite him. Hmmm...

Tiki - it looks like you were spot on with your advice.

No, jokes are OK.. I'm just saying if you really wanted to score big points, you coulda bumped legs and not said anything at all. Any cancer would be intrigued. I don't know how this person thinks but if it were me.. i'd probably be turned on. Hell, i'd probably put my hand on your leg.. i've done it before with a scorp and she certainly had a good reaction to it.

Thats just me though -- I like it when people make their intentions as clear as possible.

See, when you bump someone, society expects you to say.. oh sorry or excuse me.. so instead do the opposite and make people expect the unexpected.. be unpredictable and in a way subtly aggressive. Cancers don't back away from the direct approach, it just appears that way. The key word here is discretion.. don't come on way too strong but make it known. And do that thing you guys do with your eyes.

Jus be patient, cancers are slow moving creatures, your actions will mean more than words, this is a femine sign, jus be femine, I gotta use that bump line you used haha, that was clever! You won't have to tell him anything inregards to how you feel, he intuitively know already, spending time with him is a huge hint your interested, oh he knows...trust me lol! Give him time to warm up to you and you will be getting all the bumps you want (:

Don't push or force, keep the atmosphere easy and light and things will naturally take course oh and watch what you say, these men retreat, so no heavy conversations too soon...scorpio's can be intense but cancers naturally are attracted to it but your scorp energy may be a bit overwhelming to him right now...be yourself and it will be fine..keep us posted.

I invited him to something this weekend that he was hinting about wanting to attend. He gave me a waffle answer that basically said that he would try to make it. I let it drop, started speaking on another topic, and haven't said anything else about it. If he shows great, if not the world will keep on spinning. The ball is in his court and I'm leaving it there.

I haven't given up on the eye thing though SRG and I've been quite pleasant in general although there hasn't been any opportunity for any more "bumps."
