It doesn't make sense to stop a guy because you want to take it slow.... then lead a conversation with flirtation. You're the one that looks to be playing games


Posted by britneybabe26Don't even think about it anymore try and put it in the back of your mind in a little box. He will come when he's ready and if he doesn't don't even bother you'll know exactly where you stand. Also, you don't know if it has backfired you just need to leave it to him. Know that what you said isn't a big deal at all it's just a text message. Just a text message. That is all.Posted by thinktoomuchYes or hes playing games with me...(sigh) whatever I just felt kinda confident and it backfire on me...Posted by britneybabe26But for real though: when you´ve already sorta gone there, it´s just a matter of time... He probably knows, he has you tripping right now, because that´s the typicle reaction for a girl after *doing stuff*. I´d dare say it´s just classic mail moves from a man, that isn´t in love with you in any way, but isn´t disgusted by you either.Posted by thinktoomuchYes but no intercourse...just foreplay. And yes that's one of the reason its really odd. Maybe he thought I'm making fun of that fact I didn't allow intercourse. I get it....but still a normal man would reply even if he just wants sex....while here its silence which is really weird
Guys though: she´s freaking out so hard over a text, because they had sex!
OP: learn from this and don´t have sex with someone, if you don´t know them more and know, how they do with women.
The part about cancer men not having sex without a relationship? Where the hell does that come from! That´s all every man does ever always.
Feeling attracted to someone is not an emotion and it´s certainly not love. Basing wether or not he respons on the fact, that he is supposed to be attracted to you, is in my opinion exactly what cheekyfairy says: trying to get a man with sex/your body.
And it is amazing, how many of us women believe, that just because someone wants to have sex with us, he must also have a genuine, caring interest in us as a person and a partner. But furthermore: we also believe, that when we are attracted to someone, it must be love. Then we try to force something, that is probaby just pure lust, attraction and chemistry and nothing more. If there is more and if there is something good there, it won´t be this frustrating all the time (referring to my own situation and the countless stories here in the cancer forum and every other forum on this site).
He probably thinks you´re sweet, but is that enough? At the same time, you can always just let things evolve...click to expand

Posted by shellshockerYes but I said I want to kiss him! Not about sex.

Posted by kalinAha.....he's still following me on social media if that means anything...Posted by britneybabe26Posted by cheekyfaerieYes but Cancer Man usually don't do this until they trust you...try to have sexPosted by britneybabe26There are many possibilities. That could be one of them. He could not be interested. He could be interested, but not want a relationship. Hell, the text might not have even gone through. Time will tell.Posted by cheekyfaerie
*sigh*
Why do girls these days always try to gain a relationship with a man through their bits instead of their brains?
Don't text him again. It'll look desperate. He knows you like him. If you leave the text at that, he'll eventually wonder why you didn't follow it up and his curiosity will get the better of him. Let him be curious.
I was thinking that too....maybe he's testing to see if I will blow his phone with texts since he's silent
Wrong. They'd have sex with anyone cute enough when they are not ready to settle downclick to expand
Posted by MissGemmiPosted by britneybabe26No worries. He likes it. It could be he s dating others, but Im sure hell come back to you. Responding to your text makes the mystery and the game lame. He doesn't know how to respond si that's why he's choosing silence. Sometimes we read too much in it, but Cancers can only really flirt if it's meaningless. Im sure he will hit you up with a text that has nothing to do with the text youve sent. Just to peek your interest. You re a Gemini and know how and loves to flirt. They are not very used to that. Honestly Cancers are quiet boring when it comes to flirting. They don't know how to if it's too much charged. Geminis looooove to flirt, we can flirt with our feelings ON. 'They' can only flirt with their feelings 'off' and not very playful. You need to back off now. It was good what you did, now just sit back....
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.click to expand
Posted by goligoldI sent it yesterday at 9pm..he has a 3 hr time difference
He thinks your being a tease right now..when did you send your message?


Posted by britneybabe26Oh I see you're a Gemini, all about the talk. With all the flirting and teasing you better be able to shake walls if it gets sexy again.Posted by MissGemmiPosted by britneybabe26No worries. He likes it.

Yes!! Finally someone who gets me.. I love to flirt especially with my crush! This is the first time I swear a man didn't respond to me!! Thats why I'm confused and feel really really awkward... But come to think of it his texts were never flirty...they where only cute and friendly.. I didn't know how he felt about me until he made that move to sleep with me thats why its confusing... Now I know why Cancer men are confusing!click to expand
Posted by LibWmanLove the Tudors BTW...but ya I get it..he has tons of women.. Fine fine I will just wait and see..cancers are confusing thou
Henry VIII was a cancer
Posted by busyeyes88We did that on date one...and we talked regularly..... He even said he digs me....Posted by britneybabe26Never put yourself in a man's bed unless you have established that both parties are on the same page!! If you sleep in a man's bed on date number two and you have sex with him 1) you will be viewed as cheap 2) if no sex you will be viewed as a "cock tease"!!Posted by shellshockerYes I was the one who didn't want to go all the way..I thought it was too quick...
Wow 11 pages over a text. Makes me think people consult others over how many squares of toilet paper are needed to wipe their ass.
OP are you the one who who got naked and then stopped? If you're now getting flirty over text, maybe he doesn't know how to respond.
YOU: I want your kisses but you're so far away
HIM: If I was kissing you... would you make me stop?
YOU: Asshole!
Yes I think that's it too...we never actually flirted like this so I think he's kinda shocked and or confused
Why could you not have met him and go out to the movies or dinner and talk? Get to know his personality and first?!click to expand

Posted by busyeyes88I agree 100 per cent. Know your worth OP. A man should court you before anything like that goes down. He should be chivalrous regardless of his sign.Posted by britneybabe26Never put yourself in a man's bed unless you have established that both parties are on the same page!!

Posted by thinktoomuchTake me back to those simpler times.
Oh lawd..... I wish social media didn´t exist man. Once upon a time you just didn´t know, what your crush was doing the entire time and if he´d read your message or not and if he´d liked pictures of girls and dogs and lawnmowers and french fries and wether or not he was still a "friend" or "following" you or had deleted you off of messenger, snapchat and yada yada yada..... Listening to music is such a better hobby than this.


Posted by busyeyes88The last one only survived because he was dying himselfPosted by britneybabe26Hello!! Forget the tonnes of women... How.Did some of them end up is what you have to worry about.

Posted by Damnata‚‚‚ oh deary me.
It's not like she texted him "I feel the unexplainable urge to sleep with your brother. It's wrong but YOLO!"
So much fretting and we're not even in merc retro.

Posted by YourFavoriteDXPMemberlmaoPosted by DamnataOh no you don't!
Whole topic reads like we're dissecting "War and Peace".
It's one text. Holy fuck.
She should be arrested for sending a text message to her Cancer guy, and you should face the firing squad since you are an accomplice!!!!!click to expand

Posted by cheekyfaerieNot forward...it was like 7ish pm
Wait. 3hr time difference? Oh, lord.

Posted by Damnata
Maybe when he was reading this he was driving and his blood pressure went up and got in a crash and died.
THE THINGS YOU DO, OP!
If it was me..I'd just use humor to diffuse the situation. I mean I'd feel like I overstepped a boundary here or weirded him out so...if at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
"I take it from your silence that you are in still in awe of my wonderful kissing techniques. Fair enough. Anyway, how's your day?"
or just switch the topic. send a joke.
or not send anything and have a heart attack when you hear the incoming message tone...because the inevitable demise is coming for you.

Posted by FleshpotYa you're right.....but he is ignoring me on social media too...usually likes my pics but after that message nothing..anyway ya I'm not texting him
I wouldn't text him anymore, and wait for him to initiate the next conversation.
He may have had an emotional reaction to your text, but didn't feel the need to respond. If someone sends me a text of that nature, I wouldn't reply either. Just seems a bit pointless.
I think you're worrying prematurely, though. He's probably just busy.
Posted by kissmygritsAre you a man? I just wanted to know why he's not responding to that message when other man told me they would be turned on and like the text...and if you know Geminis we love to flirt so there
I normally dig Gemini chicks. Best friends with a couple. This one is dumb. Seriously why are you such a block head?
If you don't hear anything send something funny. I suggested a dick pic. Doesn't have to be a dick. DICK CHENEY or any guy named Dick would work. Shit man do we have to type this shit out? Oh wait. We are. On a message board.
Posted by busyeyes88And you say I'm stupid? WTF is this?Posted by KoniuchaLet us make it two hangings!! I'm sure she will enjoy your company.. You seem to have much in common..Posted by DamnataCrucify her! Public hanging at noon in the town square!

Posted by busyeyes88I get it I get I get it.....now I have to live with this...I respect your opinion...just can't believe how blind I am and how I act on emotion.. He seemed so respectful too about my decision.Posted by britneybabe26It may not even be the message. It could be the fact that you had him in yr bed and only stopped at foreplay when he being a man would have wanted total penetratration!!!!

Posted by BlackMambaLmaoo
Lamest thread in history. Not certain why it has so much traction.

Posted by Pisces15Huh—!! I never once remember telling you something like that.
Mmmm - not wanting to jump on the bandwagon and crucify you but you called me crazy the other day for backing off the Cancer guy I had dealings with for a while...reading this, think the shoe fits you better than me!!! I have no qualms with people who wish to express their emotion and etc to someone but this was incredibly cringing and also highlights you desperately chasing a man! Girl, where is your self respect? As many have taught me, ANY man who is GENUINELY interested in you, will fight tooth and nail for you. This guy is NOT serious / genuine about you. Get out there, date other guys and MOVE on!!
Posted by lotusWeird because the was Persuing me so I texted him something like this for the first time and silence....and he never showed me that he wants to be just freinds
OP, I hate to say this but it seems that your interest in him has turned him off. Next time you have sex with a guy, don't message him after the fact. If he is interested, HE will contact YOU. Plus, it shows them that you are not clingy or desperate.
Posted by CG04Thank you for your advice
I think it's wrong that you are being chastised for expressing desire, it's the whole women are supposed to be passive recipients of sex/desire and men are supposed to be initiators, totally primitive.
Anyways, I am a Cancer, it could have just taken him aback. Maybe he doesn't want to be serious and he thinks you might be into him more than he is into you...but as a Cancer I often prefer more emotionally infused texts like "I wanna be in your arms," or simply "I was thinking about you" or "missing you." We get more turned on by that idea/chance emotional connection than we do anything else. He could just be super shy and not know what to respond, sometimes we do not know how to take compliments, we can be pretty self-deprecating and ignore compliments altogether and change the subject.


Posted by BlackMambaPosted by lotusGreat advice to make him really run! Wtf.
OP, here is what I would do if I were you. I would wait until he messages me and then I would wait a bit and send him a text saying something like "what do you want to be in my life, xxx? my boyfriend? friend? friend with benefits?" That will put him on the spot and he will HAVE to answer. Depending on his answer, you can choose to move forward or not.
Life is too short to spend wondering what some guy you dated wants. Better to know now than to waste months and years of your time wondering.click to expand
They don't even know one another. U ppl are stupid I can't take this nonsense

Posted by BlackMambaMy experience as a woman of 33 is that men pretty much know what they want depending on what stage in life they are in and how much they like the woman. Two people should speak up early on about what it is they want, e.g., "I am looking for a relationship but I want to date you a bit longer"; "I am looking for friends with benefits".
OK it might work. Idk. I think she jumped the gun on the one and needs to back off and just be friendly for a little bit. Make him do the work.
But if they only dated twice that's alot of pressure on the guy whether he wants to be her man or not.
Posted by lotusOK i understand

The last guy I dated, whom I liked very much, told me early on that he was focusing on himself and only wanted casual sex once in a while (he had a low sex drive). He also said that he didn't want to waste my time. I actually respect him for being honest and told him so. We are good friends now and there are no hard feelings.click to expand
Posted by MissGemmiThank you! Totally me....yes I am stopping...not going to do anything first anymore.
Relax. Don't sweat it too much. But back off. Don't send him anything. If you do, keep it serious, friendly. Show him you can be serious too and not all about joking and flirting, sex and all. If you keep on poking him hell think you re playing him. If he says anything flip the script, stay calm friendly, but cut off the flirty behaviour. Not everyone understands this. Some see it as trashy and cheap, while you consider it as breaking the ice. Gems can be pretty naive in this behaviour. It's harmless and you might even be more conservative than a non and less promiscues than anyone else. Gems run their mouth and simply put it out there, while others do 100 times worse but keep quiet about it.
I know that if he were the one to chase you this way you would push the breaks as a real gem. Do it now. Push the breaks and stay cool
Posted by FinbuffThank you sir :-)Posted by britneybabe26At this point, you go darker than dark. Gain control. The only way is to be silent and make him come to you. You have nothing to apologize for.Posted by FinbuffSo do I apologize if he got the wrong idea or say nothing and wait?
Britney, it should have been a turn on to him, as a Cancer male. I would have liked it.
I go back to his seemingly laughing tone in your call with him last Thursday. I think this guy isn't taking you in the serious fashion you desire. JMOclick to expand



Posted by lotusPosted by cheekyfaerieI agree. It takes guts to voice what you want. I started doing this at 31 and haven't looked back since then.Posted by thinktoomuchDunno. Most men I've encountered are pretty straight up about stuff like that, if you're straight up with them. Nobody's honest anymore so, if you're honest with them, it catches em off guard and they tend to reply in kind. They also tend to respect you more for knowing what you want and being able to voice it. It *can* be scary sure, but mostly it's refreshing. And everybody knows what they're getting into.Posted by lotusMostly people knows this, and he probably knows too, but if he told her beforehand, that he´s not looking for a relationship, she´s not gonna give him any sugar. Duh! 😄
Sex or no sex, a guy should usually know either before or soon after having sex whether he wants something more from the woman. People who don't know what they want are not relationship material anyway;click to expand
