Trying to understand my cancer male roommate, I need some insight

My cancer male friend with whom I've been spending time with; seems to blow hot & cold. Last night, we chilled out for Monday night football and we connected on an emotional level
speaking of the various plays and he offered to share his peanuts which he was snacking on with me and I accepted and thanked him. . All is good!

Then tonight my cancer man notices I got home later than usual from work and seemed upset, His statement was you're later getting home tonight and I explained I stopped by Olive Garden to pick up some food for my daughter and he waited about 10 minutes on the sofa as if "sulking" and then went to his bedroom (his crab cave) Could he be upset...that I was slightly later than normal getting home tonight. I cannot figure him out. At times we have the best time and then he says the most snide comments. Or seems bothered I was late getting home but him and I have never been romantic, we spend fun times together and we make direct eye contact but things do not seem to progress. He'll act mad a few days retreat into his room and then in a few days ask me if we should make it a RedBox movie night.

One night a few weeks ago I gave him a back and shoulder massage that he had asked me to give him. We were on the living room floor. About 40 minutes into the massage, he said too bad I'm moving to Tampa in October (new job) and after the great time we've been having!! 10 minutes later he abruptly ended the massage saying...He needed to go to bed!! A few nights later I wrote him a hand-written note and slipped it under his door confessing that the night of the massage I had truly gotten excited during the massage and wanted to kiss him deeply when he ended the massage. No response for a few days....just him retreated within his man cave and then a few days he came back to the common areas of the house and we were back to talking together and renting movies but we have never spoken of my note to him. I think it odd that we have such a good time together but no intimacy. Although when he speaks to me we have lingering glances with serious eye contact.

Thoughts?

He is frustrated (and possibly angry) that you are moving to Tampa soon, and is subsequently demonstrating turbulent emotion-based behavior as a result.

The fact that you have other stuff going on and these errands made you late coming home made him even more frustrated.

You are not doing anything wrong at all, but he is clearly upset about the situation.

He probably realizes that when you move to Tampa, then the relationship is most likely over.

THIS is what makes him upset the most.

Actually he is moving to Tampa, we live in Orlando currently. Tampa is only 90 miles away. Should I look for other signs of interest or just tell him I'd like to pursue something further?

Sounds like he has hidden feelings for you which is why he's acting to passive aggressive and weird...sounds all bottled up. Maybe you should just make a move see what happens...
