I work with this cancer boy and I'm starting to really like him... After work sometimes he'll come over and visit me. We've made out once since we haven't had time to really do anything else. Things have been hectic for both of us. Whenever he leaves he ALWAYS leaves me hangin'. He'll either say, "Maybe I'll come over tomorrow." OR "Maybe I'll call ya". He's done this to me already and never showed up the next day. He also doesn't answer my texts. It's like wtf?! Assurance would be GREAT. Or are ALL guys like this? I thought Cancers stuck to their word??
Unpredictable cancer boy

well really he did stick to his word because he said MAYBE. He isn't genuinely interested in you, he's just fooling aorund with you. Which is why he doesn't say "I'll call you" he says maybe, because if he doesn't then he hasn't lied to you. I'm sorry. I do wish that wasn't the answer, but it is.
Great. So, he isn't even interested in me even when he wants me to call him??

There is a difference between being interested in a relationship with you [which is what it sounds like you want] and just having some fun..... which is what it sounds like he's doing.
Yeah, Leila, Cancer men act like that at times. Does he answer your calls? If he answers your calls, you are on. If he calls you, you are on. If he says he will call you back and he doesn't call back. I wouldn't move towards him at all. Let him make all the moves. You will be in pursuit mode at all times. Just start acting quiet and say hi and bye to him for a few weeks. He will wonder what is going on. Yes, your answer is YES, he acts like this. It will be a long time before you can understand a Cancer man.
The best advice I can get you is leave him alone. If he is not giving you attention, time, effort, whatever YOU feel you need from him, just let him go on. I know you may really like him but you will NOT like that bouncing back and forth. Save yourself the headache and let him always come to you. If he doesn't don't sit around wasting your life, waiting on something that might never happen.

Wait for him after work .. Hit him with a bat (not too hard) .. bring him to your place ..
Lock him up in the basement and fuck him during all night ..
then make breakfast for him ..
If he isn't into you after that, I'd suggest you let him play on his own ..
LMAO!! Damn!

I highly doubt you will get the assurance you need, get used to unpredictability and contradictions...if it were me and he asked me to call I would say maybe and leave it at that, I definitely wouldn't call a man that did not reciprocate in some way, it would make me feel pretty shitty inside to like someone yet he's encouraging me to chase him and all he's doing is running, yeah I would have to stop all that frustrating type of behavior or he will just keep running and maybe-ing you all the wway
Sticking to a persons word is more about character moreso than about being a cancer. Outside of a friendly hello/goodbye he would have to hunt me down to get a reaction out of me, a date, a phone call or it won't happen between us.
Hmm...thanks everyone for your input. I'll have to reconsider my feelings towards him.
