texting him
Interpreting a Cancer Man's Silence After Texting
A Cancer man's silence may indicate he is processing his feelings or feeling overwhelmed. It does not necessarily mean disinterest. Give him time to respond and avoid overthinking. Consider sending a gentle follow-up later to gauge his interest without pressure.

Maybe he wasn't sure what to say. I can't see this as a turn on or a turn off. I think it would need to be more graphic to get a "rise" out of that message. (Or maybe thts just my scorp side thinking tht) lol
Maybe he's building the tension to make you sweat it out a bit lol

I wouldn't worry about a couple of hours. But wait on him to respond. Don't keep sending texts

Yes of course I won't... One more thing... Do you think that he doesn't really need to respond to this message? Like he read and it'd enough

You just texted this out of the blue? With no previous text sent? That sounds like a trap to me
Last time we talked 3 days ago and just yesterday I sent this...why a trap? I thought its a cute flirty message that's all.

So I decided to text this Cancer Man "I really desire your kiss right now but you're far away " and I got no response at all! Normally he texts me back really quick. Now nothing. WTF? Did I came on too strong? Was he surprised? Did he feel it didn't need a reply?Was he turned on?s Didn't know what to reply? I dont what to think because yes we were intimate and we did talk a couple days earlier.Lololololololololololololo lololololololololololololo you are crazy!!!

Crazy for sending the text? Thats kinda mean. Please explain
Posted by KsamCancer
Its a trap, tease, and irrelevant. You wanted his kiss but you're too far away, then why send the text know you're too far away? Of course he may think differently
Its long distance

Oh come on...we were intimate it makes sense...isn't that what texting is for? Its flirting ...did I offend him? I didn't say anything vulgur
Some people HerÄ™ are very mean..I'm asking for advice. I put myself out there for the first time....he usually responds now he didn't and I was wondering what A cancer male would think....they are suppose to love this kinda stuff
You;re fine. Just wait a bit.
Never chase men, what you are doing is chasing him.
Being intimate means nothing to guys, they don't bond like women do.
I'll say it's more of turning off than turning on, sorry.

Cool. So get him all horny, but you aren't there for him to satisfy the release, and you think you're being all cute and flirty?What are you, a cocktease?
Maybe he's at the whorehouse releasing his blue balls.
Either way you sound nuts needing attention.
People flirt through text all the time...its not meant to be mean..its meant to be fun. Wtf?

A tip, when in a ldr its best not to ever bring up the distance. You both know it but being reminded of it only hurts the relationship. Also guys dont like when a girl complains about something they cant fix. I think thats universal knowledge tho
Oh crap I shouldn't put that you're so far away thing huh :-/ either way he should think I want him....didn't mean anything else

And yes, she's chasing him. You think it's a harmless and cute flirt, but guys can sense this girl needs attention from him, and that is chasing.
Posted by Arielle83
I'm a cancer with mars in cancer and was in a ldr for a while. However we were engaged.If you aren't even official there's no point to your flirt texting. I'm sure he's got real dtf chicks that don't send kissing texts. It just seems way childish.
Plus you did it for a reaction which has caused you to obsess over the lack of reaction and this make this thread.
Don't get it really...what guy wouldn't mind getting this text without being turned on.— It shows I desire him that's all
You don't really have to respond to every reply if you think it's annoying or mean,really 🙂
You find people of all kinds everywhere. You wont always get to hear what you want to and you just gotta take it with a pinch of salt because no one knows anyone here so hurtful/annoying remarks shouldn't bother that much. Would have been annoying had absolutely none of the replies been any helpful to you.
I would just say that assuming things are going good between you two and also considering the fact that you two have been intimate before, there's not much to fret about with his no-reply,yet. Yeah,I perfectly understand how it might feel not receiving a reply for several hours if he is especially a quick responder usually but sometimes you gotta think out of the box. Maybe he has had a rough day? Maybe a very busy day? maybe he's too mentally drained? maybe there's some network issue? maybe he's ill? Maybe he read it but then suddenly got occupied too much with some work and forgot to reply? You really never know about all these things and you are very obviously bound to get mixed replies. If someone tells you "awww sweetie,he mostly didnt read", it a LIE or it could be the TRUTH. If someone said "he freaked out with your msg" ,again that could be a LIE or the TRUTH. No one can answer questions like these without the concerned person himself. If a guy (be it a cancerian or whatever sign) values you, he will respond you sooner or later because he knows he has gotto talk to you sometime shortly. So he won't ignore completely.
And if he does reply you with something else(as in a "how was your day" ignoring your "miss your kiss" text),please dont pounce on him because that would definitely be the recipe of preparing him for the exit route. You need to let him enjoy the talk with you. Let the environment get settled and calm and then you may gently ask him about that text. Don't be like "WHY DID YOU NOT REPLY MY TEXT ——————————————?". Thats extremely annoying and unclassy. Just politely ask him if he was too busy. Help him open up to you.

Yes I'm obsessing because normally he get back to me in a min and now nothing ....damn just wanted to tell him this didn't think it could backfire
oh and we both were in a year long ldr too. We always kept sending such texts to each other to express ourselves. We never took it dejectedly. Instead, it helped us grow even more emotionally and physically close so its completely an individual thing.

Don't be offended britney. Those are sad facts about relationships...
I mean it makes more sense to let him know you desire him "after" you're in relationship.
But if he knows now that he doesn't have to work much to get your attentions, there's no fun for him.
Men are hunters
I asked my guy friends before sending that and they said they would enjoy this message and it would turn them on...I even asked my cancer male friend.. Doesn't make sense

Saying personal intimate words to a fwb will always back fire. You're not even official. Saying that to a serious boyfriend who feels the same is different.click to expand

He didn't know how to respond, you started off sexy but saying he is too far way sounds like your teasing him. Plus Gems need so much attention which cancer males don't understand he is going to drive you bonkers!

Posted by MiZLeo
I don't know why these people are telling you cancers aren't flirty. Every single one I know (men and women) are flirty freaks. haha. That sucks that it was your first time doing it and he didn't respond tho. I can understand feeling weird about it now. If it makes you feel any better, I asked my cancer moon guy for some pictures 2 weeks ago of a house he renovated and I just got those pictures this morning with a text saying "just sent those pictures" lol. I only asked him once and didn't mention it again cause he never responded to it. They are weird.
Yes it made me feel very awkward.... Every guy friend I asked about this said it would turn them on and he's giving me silence....I'm so confused and feel stupid :-/

So do you think I screwed up or will he just forget this text? I'm a Gemini so yes sometimes I can't help myself..didn't know he's so reserved when last time he put the moves on me..I never touch him or jump at him when we hang.
Posted by BlackMamba
So your just a sexual cum dump. OK he can play that game very well.
Yes but he always puts the moves on me when were hanging. I don't jump at him. I thought he would enjoy this text cuz supposedly cancers are scared of the first move...but then again I was wrong..do you think I screwed up?
OMG. You poor girl.
First off be careful on dxp okay, because alot of the people on here are 40+ years old married, or divorced or separated. A lot of them are old school if you know what I mean.lol.
That being said, I’ve dated crabs and YES they are FLIRTS, but only when they know the other person is interested. They don’t take kindly to rejection. They are more of the tread softly type until they know you like them back, then it’s “game on”. So in your case, I’d say flirting is fair game.
HOWEVER we don’t know all the facts. Such as…
How long you knew him before sleeping with him?
The direction of the relationship? Were their talks of a future together?
When you are together does he take you out, or are you his couch potato where he cops a few free feels every now and then in hopes of getting lucky?
All of these aspects are important because it will give a better insight on where his head might be in terms of the two of you as a whole, since your obsessing use all the facts girl.lol.
Honestly when I first read it I laughed as I did find it a little corny. It seemed like you wanted to make conversation because you miss him and since you didn’t know what to say, you tried too hard. If that makes sense. If your relationship is still pretty casual and there have been no declarations of feelings for one another recently then I would’ve kept it simple like “I miss you.” or “Hope all is well. I was just thinking about you.”
The reason I wouldn’t have sent anything sexually related is because if it was our first time being intimate I’m already nervous afterwards, and if he put it down I don’t need him thinking I’m dickmatized. So I normally let the guy make the first call after sex for the first time.
Over all, your text was corny, but it shouldn’t ruin what the two of you have if you really like each other.
If you really feel silly, you can text and be like “My bad, hope I didn’t offend you or nothing. I was just being flirty cuz I was thinking of you. Talk to you soon.” And then leave it alone.
Holding out the goodies with Cancers, yea it works i'll admit lol. But only if he knows you like him. I haven't known them to chase women that they geniunely feels has no interest, that seems more like a Scorpio, Sagg or Aries thing; those three cant take no for an answer, and they welcome the challenge. lol They enjoy making the woman that told them "no" for years, graval once they've finally won her affection. Lucky for you Cancers just need the green light and they go.
Cancer men don't like confrontation. This wasn't argument but a direct way for him to express his feelings and they're not good at it. Next time... Wait for him to text and please stay busy with yourself. They have this way to draw you in leave you breathless then you chase and then they leave. Let him lead. When he reaches out then you know he wants affection. If he doesn't don't second guess it. Heck date around you're not in a "relationship" yet.
