I met this cancer guy 2 months ago. I initiated all contacts, we swapped numbers and Skype details on my request. I'm basically doing all leg work here and I don't really know if he is interested or is just being polite. i sneakily told him that I like him and he answered "aha so you like me!" We live in different countries so it's quite hard as I cant ask him out. We watch things over the Skype together and when I asked him about the future he said that we will see and that maybe he could visit me and we could go out for few drinks. Recently we spoke on Skype for 3h exchanging childhood stories, talking about our travels and exchanging photos and we had a good laugh but then I haven't heard from him in 2 days. i messaged him and he replied as he always do, but it makes me feel like if I wouldn't pursue our contact he wouldn't be bother and our contacts would end. Recently he went out and came back home drunk and posted on community forum we are both members telling people that relationships sucks and not to do them. I really like this guy, but I'm tired of approaching him first and feeling like nuisance by chasing him. I honesty don't know anymore if he is interested or not so I am puzzled of what to do next.

I'm not sure about his chart. To be honest I never really had any problem with getting men to like me and I think it spoiled me a bit. Also I didn't go bat shit crazy over 24th period and smothered him . I asked him if he wants to be in touch more and this is how we slowly exchanged Skype then numbers etc.

Okay how about you reverse that mind game on him. And see if he likes back and forth inconsistent chats. Like do your thing and not pick up his call anymore and see if he is really interested.

Cause LDR is all about communication and he told you we will see and how about meeting up soon. Take it slow.

I like the guy. I think he is funny and i would like to get to know him better. I'm not asking for relationship or to get married or anything like that. I just would like some consistency so I know if he is interested in getting to know me also. I'm not going to pretend that I think he is my casual mate because I like him more then that and this was the main reason why I told him that I'm interested. @sunkisses26 Libra. I know cancer & libra is not meant to be a good match. At any rate I decided to chill out and see how things will go between us. My grandma used to say that in nature everything that is chased tends to run so I'm kinda done with actively pursuing him. Even if he is not romantically interested in me, we get on well enough to be friends and that something I would also value. Many thanks for all replies guys ๐Ÿ™‚

Mine was also controlling manipulative and cheated on me and lied to me constantly..but hey sure they're not all bad....if they're not putting in as much work as you are...immediately stop going out of your way. Let him chase you, the end.

Hmm.. as a cancerian, I can talk for 3-4h without having a 'romantically-feeling' toward a guy. If you provide me with a good & fun conversation.
So, I don't think he likes you the way you like him, yet. But if he likes to talk to you, he'll come around for sure.

I m LDR and this happens to me too. Mine is even worse. She flirts like there is no tommorow . I get angry and lash. Again she withdraws. Not talking to her kills me. I again approach her. This time she has more bargaining power. I see her flirting more in FB i again get angry. I don't know what to do. I cannot stop thinking about her. I don't have will power to leave her . My life is currently hell.
