I have been reading about cancers for a while now. I love the information found on this site. I met a cancer man on a dating site. we just met recently, (no sex) after talking for 7 months. He lives in another state. He is 43 and I am 32. I read that cancer men are family men but this one has never been married has no kids and longest relationship was 2 years. I'm not understanding why he seems so distant now. We met the date at the bar went fine.We went back to my place and talked. Ever since then, he has not really called me and even went off on me. He became very rude and it has been a week since that conversation. Here's a little background before we met he would not send any selfies. I got 2 pics from him but those were 2 old pics. He is not much of a social media person, even though I did my background and came across those same pics online. He basically gave me pics available to everyone and it just seems like he is playing it really really safe. I kind of messed up and fell in love. I told him and he said "who am I". He said that he is or was talking to some other lady but nothing serious and it's a companionship (sounded more like a friend with benes). Anyways. He does those wonderful disappearing acts and I assumed he didn't want to speak with me anymore. So I texted him "I get the hint" he came back and said no he has been busy working. In fact, the last conversation after our date when he went off, He basically sounds thoroughly annoyed that I called told me just to wait until he calls me and me addressed me as "MY MAN" like I was some kind of dude. I only sai 3 words on that call because I was shocked at how he answered. He could not have answered the phone and text he was working. or better yet, just said not to call anymore. I wonder sometimes if he will pop back up later and act like nothing happened. I don't think I can talk to him again. I wonder why he talked to me the way he did. Any insight would be great.
Need to Understand a Cancer Man
My feelings are deeply hurt and I'm trying to just move past this
I called in twice that day. He said I can't keep calling him while he is working but I didn't know he was working. And if he is not interested he should not send mix signals. But the last conversation was very clear. I'm done and just trying to move on now.
I kind of feel that he wanted to hook up and have sex. I'm glad I didn't because I would have felt like shit if he did that afterward.

He’s not interested.
Also I’m curious...why did he ‘go off on you’?

I really want to believe that he is not a rude person because he has never shown me that side before but I guess I need to take it for what it is.
Posted by GC05I'm a leo and I shut down when men do this. I have this happen a lot and they usually come back around but by then I am guarded. I think sometimes I am too nice.Posted by LeogeminimoonchildHe’s not a rude person, he’s just not feeling it.

Just give some space and time...he’ll come back out to play when he’s ready. (:

Posted by Squishy_MarshmallowYes, I guess that's a good thing. I decided not to have sex with guys I date. I would rather wait until we define our commitment. It actually has saved me from heartache and other bad things.
Idk what to say... This sucks. Maybe yeah it's because you didn't put out? If that's the case isn't it good he is being distant?
Posted by Squishy_MarshmallowThanks. I hope you feel better as well. I don't intend on contacting him again. I got back to working out, went on a few dates. I think about him all day every day. I'm trying to shake those thoughts. It kind of sucks that I come across men that act like this. Maybe it's because I'm not putting out. I just can't do that to myself. I have only had 2 relationships. I was married for 8 years and pretty much been off dating scene for a long time.Posted by LeogeminimoonchildPosted by Squishy_MarshmallowYes, I guess that's a good thing.

It's a good call you made. I feel it's always good to wait. I didn't wait the last time and it kills me now. Add to that I feel I lost touch with maintaining good boundaries.
You will move on... Get it out of your system, go for a run, work out, do something energetic, you will start to feel better.
And yeah don't contact him. If someone says they want space it's better to give it to them
I hope you feel better soon...

Posted by Squishy_Marshmallowyea I was told to date many men to find a match. It's exhausting. I'm very affectionate with the dates. I'm super touchy feely.Posted by LeogeminimoonchildPosted by Squishy_MarshmallowThanks. I hope you feel better as well. I don't intend on contacting him again.

I'm over the guy just regret my decisions.
Argh! I wish I know what to tell you... Im not the best person to answer these questions. Maybe be seductive without having sex? Jeez!
I wish I know how tho!
Yeah it's not going to be easy to get a grasp on the dating scene ... I feel people here tell girls to date more to find a suitable match.

I want to also mention that on our date. We hugged a lot but he kept being negative. Like he didn't really plan the date. It was kind of like let's find a place that was open. Then he asked me why I wear heels and said I look fine short. I kind of feel like it was a shot at my esteem or something. I took uber to the date to be safe and we rode back to the place in his car. When I came out to the car, he made it clear that it was supposedly his work car. His car looked crazy but I didn't care. Then when we hugged the last time he said OH I thought you were going to give me friend zone hug. I said no. I also think I was overdressed compared to him. I was dressed for a date and he was dressed down no cologne or nothing. It was a bit strange. I know it works alot and was coming home from work. He thanked me for working with his time. The way it played out keeps playing in my head.

Posted by LeogeminimoonchildYeah keep it moving. No need to try and understand shit. He was disrespectful and too emotional, that’d be enough for me.
Ever since then, he has not really called me and even went off on me. He became very rude and it has been a week since that conversation.
I wonder why he talked to me the way he did. Any insight would be great.
The reason he’s never had a real relationship is because he’s not relationship material. Tantrums aren’t attractive on grown men. Onto the next!

His attitude would gross me out. And personal hygiene is important.
Move on girl...
