Slow moving Cancer female frustrations

Understanding Cancer Women's Slow Moving Love

Cancer women tend to take time to open up and build deep emotional connections. They prioritize emotional security and may act distant to protect themselves. Patience and consistent reassurance help them feel safe, leading to stronger bonds over time. Recognizing their need for slow progress can improve your relationship and reduce misunderstandings.

Hello, Im a Virgo male. About 3 months ago I went on a date with a Cancer woman and we carried on meeting about once a week. It took date 4 till we kissed for first time as it took a while for her to bring her wall down at least a little bit. She doesnt just open up to anyone. After this she was basically ready to make it 'official'. I was hesitant as normally I at least sleep with a girl, fall into that whirlwind of romance, and THEN make it official with them. She is the complete opposite though, wants to take things slow, and build a strong relationship over time. I have a lot more relationship/sexual experience than her.

I thought about it long and hard (I am virgo haha) and decided to go for it as there was something about her that just kept pulling me to her. And it wasn't her meaow as she made it clear that wasn't happening until we were at least official.

Anyway about 10 days ago we said the words and became boyfriend and girlfriend, not normally the way I do things but hey. After this I thought things would maybe change, and she would want to see me more often. But shes still happy meeting once a week, and other times giving attention to her family, friends etc. Me being me, I am ready to jump straight into the deep end. I've traveled around the world in the name of following love, have lived with exes etc. I'm ready to move heaven and earth for someone I am in a relationship with, put them as my priority, plan everything to the last detail and make sure everything is perfect (yes typical virgo again I know).

She is not at this stage yet, has admitted it herself, and that we will get there one day but that we need to build towards it. Problem is me not being her priority and wanting to see me as much as I want to see her makes me feel like she's just not that into me sometimes.

I say that, buy only a few hours ago she said she would come round to my place this weekend and stay the night. This will be first time she comes to mine and we spend a proper night together Which has made me veryyyyy happy finally. At the same time I'm ready for so much more.

Am I just overthinking everything and this is a normal way for a Cancer woman to be? Act so distant and make me feel she doesn't want me then the next moment complete opposite. I want to understand her and hopefully make this last but sometimes my mind goes crazy!

She is a woman what else did you expect? And not just any woman, but a Cancer woman. Taking things slow and wanting to build strong relo is a healthy way and in my opinion, it only shows, that in you she sees a potential for a long relationship, meaning she likes you. You are not just a flirt, a rebound or a meaningless romance for her.

Me being me, I am ready to jump straight into the deep end. She is not at this stage yet, has admitted it herself, and that we will get there one day but that we need to build towards it.

Looks like she is able to be in touch with herself and communicate her needs- jackpot.

Problem is me not being her priority and wanting to see me as much as I want to see her makes me feel like she's just not that into me sometimes.

Making someone a priority takes time to know and trust the person. But when a Cancer does make you a priority over time, it's for good.

I can not point enough, how much is important, that you do NOT expect (an impression I get from the sentence above) or push for sexual contacts because of your needs and hard dick. Maybe she will only just want to cuddle, watch movies, talk or kiss all night. Let her initiate, she is a cardinal. If we want something and we are ready for it, we will go for it. If you won't respect and follow her tempo, needs and vulnerability in this area, you can fuck up big time.

Am I just overthinking everything and this is a normal way for a Cancer woman to be?

It is a normal way for a healthy person. But Cancers are especially slow, cause we are in for the long run and we want strong foundations.

She sounds like a really good catch. From your post I get the impression, that is you the one who's got problems with understanding of her tempo because yours is way faster and this is causing you to be insecure. Analyze yourself, respect her.

And why tf can't I bold text on dxp?

Thanks for the reply. No I am not expecting or going to push for sexual contacts, I've already told her whenever she is ready I will leave it to her. I meant I was happy that we get to spend some quality time together, even if just watching movies and cuddling. Yes she is a catch as she's the opposite of what I normally go for but I can see theres something special about her.

You are right because I am used to a much higher tempo, it has caused me to be insecure. Which Im sure is a turn off. Looks like I need to kick myself up the butt a bit, analyse, and start being more positive about the situation and just go with her slow flow and believe we will get to where I want us to be.
