Posted by incandescentcancerWe go to the movies a lot. One of us gets the tickets, the other gets the popcorn.Posted by iCloud9LOL! Who throws money at someone?? That's rude.
notice that i said you can buy her a mansion after you are married so I'm not opposed to men to be a man and take care of his girl. in fact, i think a man who would ask the bills to be split into exactly half is not a real man lol
what i dislike was guys who assumed the position before he was there. when we were just getting to know each other, before i was committed. i appreciated nice gestures but when i offer to pay the next one, please do not throw back the $ . can you believe it, there was a guy i just met who did that lol. good thing i didn't see him again lol
I don't have issues of that nature here, I am just trying to do the right thing and not impinge on her freedom or make her feel beholden to me in anyway.
I think I have a basic idea of what to do now. If we go for dinner, let her pick up the food bill if she wants to and I offer to pay for the wine, that sort of thing.click to expand

Posted by truecapI get the idea, it doesn't have to be an equal split. I just need to make sure that she feel she is putting something into it as well.Posted by incandescentcancerWe go to the movies a lot.

Posted by truecapIt's not a philosophy so much as practical behaviour. Having met far too many guys who think you pretty much want to marry them if they get to buy you a drink, I find that line of thinking necessary. Unfortunately.
But to have the philosophy of "I don't want to owe him anything" is silly, in my opinion. He got the pleasure of your company. That's the trade off of his paying for dinner.

Posted by HappyCappera) I was talking about inspiring me to achieve success. I think a good relationship is one where a woman can inspire a man and a man supports a woman towards success. Atleast, I like to think so. It sounds a bit business like since I am a moon in Capricorn an d quantify success in material gains.
@OP
We are all very different when it comes to that. Imo, you need to pay close attention to her signals - that's the only way.
Must say I got a little worried about your "I think adding her to my life would help me be more successful." comment. Very business like. But I may have misunderstood, so instead of jumping to conclusions, I'd like to ask you what you meant.
"Do y'all make good traditional wives then?"
No. Some may, but definitely not all. I'd say most women in my culture do not - they prefer to work outside their home and share the household duties with their spouse.

b) That was a joke with Truecap about traditional wives since she was talking about traditional gender roles. Read the context ladies!
I hope I have now allayed your fears about my dark, ulterior motives? 😛click to expand

Posted by HappyCapperTo each their own. I do think it still feels a bit business like, but if she is okay with that, who am I to argue. Just make sure that she knows where you stand and that you "quantify success in material gains" and that this is what you are looking for in a relationship.I don't think you're understanding this the way I mean but it's ok.
I(cap sun and merc) would personally never get into a relationship for the possibility of material gains, but that's me. I just feel I am quite capable of making my own way when it comes to material possessions - what I need is someone to be there for me emotionally(and vice versa, ofc), which is something I can not accomplish on my own. I do agree totally that a relationship is very much about inspiring and supporting the other person towards what they would like to achieve, though.click to expand
This week I haven't had a chance to talk much to her and I feel that deeply. She is not particularly responsive at the moment and I know she is busy, yet it's hard to accept. So, trust me there are lot of emotions involved in this.

Posted by iCloud9Cancer instinct is to do the pull back trick, I have always fought against that and that's why I have been able to have relationships with women who aren't usually compatible signs with Cancer. I don't know whether that's the right thing to do? Do you mean to say that she may just be using me to feel good?
withdraw and see whether she contacts you after her mom leaves. let her wonder and miss you a bit. you have done enough initiation. i personally think passive ppl are annoying as heck. they will not make a positive addition to your life anyway.

Posted by iCloud9This appeals to me. the ball is in her court presently, I asked her to go do something with me next week and she hasn't replied yet. I am probably not going to say one further word until she actually does some work at this point.
i am not saying she is using you to feel good or otherwise because i do not know her. but it is human nature to not take someone for granted if your action speaks clearly that yes you like her but you will not take this further by yourself
be kind. be cool and be a man who can and will talk away unless she reciprocates. it is very attractive when a man is able to do this to a woman he is into.

Posted by iCloud9I sure did. Whether it works or not, I will be better off for it. Thanks 😉
i fell in love with my scorp after he dared to drop me LOL
anyway, you got the idea 😄

Posted by iCloud9Thank you!
yes indeed. again, you are very likable so yes whether it works or not you will be better off 🙂.


Posted by iCloud9I am going to call her tomorrow and ask her out, see what happens.
😢


Posted by TaurusMarineI am cool with that. Important thing is not to be whiny or an idiot, just wanting a deep emotional connection is not an issue.
What if you knew she's really clingy and just afraid to reveal her true colors? What do you feel about her now? Is this just attraction or addiction? What would you feel if she fell really hard for you? I'm sorry for so many?? Just very curious about cancer 's mindset.

Other earthy or watery cancers are probably best for the three earth signs. But generally, I get along well with earth signs, never really had any problemsclick to expand

Posted by incandescentcancerOMG... never cheched such info... seems like only because of this crab Im going to read into this... but I will, thanks!
I think she doesn't want to see me anymore, she isn't very responsive.
I read situations quite well and I thought this was going well. We seemed to enjoy eachother's company.
Well, c'est la vie.

Posted by TaurusMarineIt's not so much about giving up, I don't understand long silences. She responds to messages but it's all a bit withdrawn. I don't really get it, there is no real reason to act like this.Posted by incandescentcancerOMG... never cheched such info... seems like only because of this crab Im going to read into this... but I will, thanks!

Why have you decided she's indifferent? You contacted her and she just ignored?

Posted by lnana04I dropped her 2 days ago, she's last winter's snow as far as I am concerned. Unless she contacts me I am done.
I'd say just stop trying. She may not be ready for a relationship right now, and there's no point in trying with someone that's not receptive or open.

Posted by TaurusMarineAre you guys confident enough to make the first move?
He's a moron indeed. I used to know one cancer but he hell ran after me with flowers!!!

Posted by CapnDon't worry about it, I am not going to pine for her or anything. I will give her a fair chance and be civil to her but if this doesn't go somewhere in the next couple of months, I am out. Peace.
Hi.
Had to read the entire thing before writing to you, op.
What a seriously f***ed up situation.
I truly feel you.
I dont know anything about moon, sun, planets and such..only the zodiac/astrology signs.. So I dont know if this fits..but anyway..
As you may know, I'm a cap..my ex is also a cap.. in her mid 20s.
I really feel for you and want to tell you some of my experience with my ex...even tough you may have lost interest in her already..idk.
Btw..is there anything new, or is it still radiosilence?
My ex..she acted just like that. She could be so devoted, chatty, a bit needy, extremely strong minded (nothing could stop her).. And underneath all that and much more..very insecure.
We had a long distance thing..
When we met there wasnt a care in the world. We had so many funny and awesome moments, and it made me think it was going to be a strong and lasting relation. When I got back to my place, texts and calls died within a few days..nothing. I could send her heartwarming stuff, and she iced me out for long periods..I'm much to proud to keep trying, so I went silent. Boom, she's back..acting like nothing had happened. This fucked me up some times..and arguments were on!
It always felt like we slowly moved towards the arguments..building up..she needed the drama..and after the steam got out, we were good for another round. Achieving nothing basically.
If your girl is like this one, I can guarantee you this: She has not forgotten about you. And she will most def make contact sooner or later. Tough it could be months.. Yes, I did experience that.
Idk if this fits your girl..but with mine, I slowly started to realize she was testing others to see if they were a better fit..idk if she actually understood that about herself..
Eventually she got to close to this other guy, and I ended it.
I have a lot of experience with her over the last five years, so if there's anything you think I might have "answer" to..dont hesitate.
She was a supermix of a great girl and a real mindfu**er. Not really knowing what she wanted.
Im sad to hear your experience!
You seem like a great guy, and I really hope things will work out for you!

Posted by BlackMambaI don't think you can generalize specific behavior to an entire sign. I can show you legendary gold diggers in other signs too, including cancer.Posted by incandescentcancerReally? You do know cap women are innate gold diggers! They cling to successful men like no other
How do I spend money on doing nice things for her like dinners, theatre tickets etc. without making her feel negative about it? I want to make sure that she knows I am not trying to angle for something or make her feel that I am doing all the spending.click to expand

Posted by BlackMambaShe's a good wife, I don't have a problem with a woman like that.Posted by incandescentcancerMaking a Cap woman into success. Good luck! If they get the more successful guy they stop being about their personal success. They're great clingers!Posted by HappyCappera) I was talking about inspiring me to achieve success.
