When Cancer man ponders, what does it mean?

A recurring theme is that Cancer Man is complex, beautiful, strategic, capable of incredible wickedness against those who love them; and seriously accomplished when it comes to vanishing acts. And of course wildly unstable and fickle in their mood range. This ticks a lot of boxes with a Cancerian guy who i'm trying to figure out. Complex and hard to penetrate thats for sure. He's already in a relationship with a SheDevil who doesn't let him out of her sight.. although for sound reasons. We have met at my local gym.. The eye contact and sexual chemistry was so magnetic that I actually found myself swooning. How do they perfect that gaze?? its like they know you are snared and that you will be devoured, and they know that you know, and yet they are unfazed. Poetic!!! Anyways... he pursued me in a fearless and very tenacious way, which sort of undermines typical cancerian slow moving and indirect behaviour. First date was a total success. second date - thus he started with mind game tactics; where for an hour solid it was pretty much TitForTat, with me putting up a worthy challenge. Point is, that the second date ended in disaster with him stating that we let each other in too early, and that he still wants to talk if we see each other again. My reaction was to walk away in a very detached and dispassionate way (which I regret now). we were in his car, and I slammed it just for dramatic effect. He sat for about 30 seconds before driving away, and this is really where I seek wisdom from such a knowledgable fellowship. What was going on in his head when he was sitting there? Was he banking on me turning back, or was he slowly absorbing my actions and thinking oh well another who has failed miserably.. bwaha bwahahaha? Why Oh Why are they so bloody intriguing—?

I am still learning from some of the greats..so take my advice with a grain of salt. But he was probably thinking all of the things you mentioned. See its tricky b..c he has a girlfriend. So, while he may be intrigued by you he is attached to his girlfriend. Form what I know once, a Cancer lets a woman in and commits it?_s a wrap. That?_s what all of us on here are waiting for. LOL. We are waiting for that faithful day when our Cancers will come out their crusty butt shell and let us in, b/c we know once they do it will take an act of congress to pry them off of us. LMAO!

So, I would say chill out and wait it out. Be his friend. I don?_t think it?_s too late to turn back. In fact, you may have intrigued him even more by your display. But let him be done with his girl first. By you dating him while he is still in a relationship?K.that is sending a subliminal message to him. It is saying ??I am down for whatever and I am down to be the back up.?? I am NOT saying that, that is the case at all. I am just saying how a man may interpret it.

So my advice is to be his friend. Be cool with him. When you see him at the gym tell him that you completely agree with him and that you guys should just be friends and your bad for the slamming the door thing. Act very carefree. This will completely flip the script. By you slamming the door that did not show him detachment, it showed him that you were upset by what he said and cared. If you did not care and were detached you would have been like ??whateva?_ brotha?? and kept it moving and been nice about the situation. The only time a person can make another person mad or upset is when they care. And if know else knows that, believe me the Cancer does.

So when you see him be pleasant and nice. Tell him that you agree with being friends and let him chase you. But try and make sure that girlfriend is out of the pic?K.b.c that is just DRAMA. Hope this helps. ?

maianm pretty much hit the nail on the head. but there is another thing going on like the fact that he told you that you all might have let each other in to early. we cancers take our time and he might have gotten sucked in by the passion and chemistry yall initially felt for one another. we are very emotional and can pick up on peoples emotions so that is probably why he pursued you so heavily. so after thinking about the situation he probably felt it was better to slow down so he can figure out what he really wants. you or his girlfriend or both :-) cause when we cancers get attached to someone we usually stay attached. he has a girlfriend and he is probably feeling guilty or finding it hard to be able to cover his tracks with you and her..lol.

Wisdom precedes all of your noble thoughts and words!!!!

"cause when we cancers get attached to someone we usually stay attached. he has a girlfriend and he is probably feeling guilty or finding it hard to be able to cover his tracks with you and her"

Cansir, the issue lies therein... he knows he flirts with the hangman when it comes to his woman, she is an astute and receptive type, and knows his routine and patterns of behaviour extremely well. If he breaks with regularity, she switches on to this and follows his every move.

mainm, again your comments are diamond tipped!! I displayed too much emotion by
slamming his door and will certainly address this when we encounter each other next. I'm good at cool and aloof... Virgos have the edge with this.

Sweetest... your a good woman but dangerous liasons simultaneously feel wrong and right. And when animal attraction confronts two persons, it knows no master it just lingers until both parties act or resist.

yeah yeah just accept the shell...cuz its not going anywhere...Mai it really is easier to deal with when you slow ya roll, lol when you decide that he's worth the wait and that you're willing to sit tight and show him that you're loyal. I thought I had lost points with my cancer when I admitted that I had been impatient with relationships in the past, but when he came out and told me directly that he wants me to be patient with him I couldnt deny him that and told him directly he's worth the wait. It doesnt really help to explain to the Cancer that you're loyal and devoted and really interested in them...atleast not with mine, he wanted some Proof Pudding.

fatale, i have a lot of friends but i only have a handful of close friends. i have to observe you and see how you react to certain situations. if i know you gossip i might be your friend but i will not let you any of my business cause in my mind what is going to stop you from gossiping about me. it takes a lot to be my TRUE friend. i can count on one hand the ppl i let close to me. it has taken a long time for me to let them in but i know i can trust them. with that loyalty comes me doing anything i can for them. so just because we might interact with ppl doesn't mean they are a REAL friend or that we trust them. we are just good at being social :-)

lol Mai, truthfully I learned a lot of patience and endurance trying to make things work with my ex who was a Scorpio. We were together a year and a half on and off so I got a lot of practice despite the fact that the game was over long before I would admit it. I was loyal and dedicated to him after countless lies and infidelities...My cancer is honest and trustworthy so in my opinion he's worth what my ex is and more.

im trying not to krobe, really I am. And I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it. I'm matching his pace at the least. And Im glad you specifically mentioned conversations. Im so used to people just opening up telling me their whole life stories with no hesitation and he's getting to it...very slowly. We talk a lot (he actually talks more than me...imagine that), but the convos are as deep and insightful as I want them to be, but I'm going to take his word that we'll get to that.

"lol Angel I said the same thing. I have a question, since we share the same birthday though Im sure your chart is different because of the year difference, but you have 15 years astro knowledge. I know we're on a cusp, sometimes I feel it. But I was also born between 2 moons and feel like I have traits of both moons is this possible?"

there is a lot of debate on the whole cusp thing - I'm inclined to believe that you are either one or the other, but it is really hard to say for sure because we're on the aries cusp and my moon is in aries - so of course I have some arian tendencies like explosive emotional reactions and a little bit of a mean streak when I am [finally] pushed too far [which by the way I have struggled for years working on controlling......I NEVER used to bite my tongue when someone pissed me off - now I hold it back as long as I can....]
so it's sort of hard to say - is JUST my moon ? or is it a cusp thing? I really think the cusp only exists where the sun occassionally moves into the next sign on a different day depending on the year - such as april 20th .
As far as moons - the moon is VERY powerful [poor crabs....] so it is possible to feel the pull of surrounding moon signs, but I've looked up your moon and it falls in capricorn, why do you say it was transitting? it was in cap from april 20th through april 22 encomapssing all of the 21st. You did say you were born in 1984 right ? I couldn't find the original posting but didn't you say you were 4/21/84 and your guy was 7/14/80? even if it was 83 or 85 - all three years april 21st fell dead in the middle of a moon sign.

"I've noticed that cansir...and it surprised me, pleasantly. I thought my cancer was a player until I saw how he really puts a lot of time and thought into who he lets in his circle. He works security at a lot of clubs so I assumed he was spread thin, he let me know I offended him and quickly corrected me."

yeah I thought the same thing about my friend's brother - of course that's because first of all I just thought he was way too gorgeous not to be, and then his sister made comments about him always having a new girlfriend which I took the wrong way - I don't know any cancers that ARE players.

I dont think thats just your moon Angel because...I umm..I can be mean when my anger is tapped..very mean. When I was a teenager, from middle school well into high school I was...more or less hateful. Thank God I got over it and I'm done, but if someone just crosses me...then I get preeeetty nasty. I've learned to channel the anger into physical activity tho. lol My Cancer is scared I'm going to go off on him so he keeps checking to see if I have any pent up frustration. I checked a couple of different sites and I wasnt sure if all of the 21st was included, but I was mainly concerned because I have more traits of aquarian moon that I do capricorn.
