cancer men - need to be needed? how do i know when it's real

is it true that cancer men need to be needed ?
I know one whom I met online but not in person
we exchanged pics - he said he thought I was cute
we were talking about possibly meeting up later in the weekend but he went into his shell and wouldn't talk anymore - a few days later I told him I'm sorry for whatever I did or said that made him not want to talk to me anymore- he asked me if I was ok and said he was here for me and that he missed me - but then he went cold again - I told him about a friend of mine that I had found out had lied to me - he didn't read the massage until a week later - a few days later I told him that I hoped he was ok 2

Damn these cancer men seem ao complex its the same deal with all of em. What gives........i cant even give advice. Idk honey

days later I sent him a friend request on FB, he declined it and changed his settings to where I can't send him another friend request (which I wouldn't have done anyway)so I'm gonna tell him goodbye - why wouldn't he just block me altogether as opposed to just preventing me from sending him another friend request? or is that his way of not wanting to completely let go since if he did block me he wouldn't be able to see my page/ pics as well - my ex boyfriend is a cancer and my ex boyfriend before him is a cancer too so I've experienced the silent treatment before - however with one of them it was him needing to be needed cause he'd end up coming around in some way or another- do cancer men ever truly "let go" of someone even though their actions would lead someone to believe otherwise? does this current cancer guy want me still in sight for whatever reason or is this the ultimate way of him needing me to need him - he turns me away in hopes that I'll come to him? like reverse psychology? how do you know when a cancer man has truly let you go?

Let him go.

Action speaks louder than words. And his action is saying he's not into you. IME cancers don't play mind games and if they do they are not into you.

Don't try to grasp for straws that aren't there. Have some dignity and self-respect. If they like you they make it abundantly clear with their actions.

yea - I'm not going to -I feel it's not worth saying goodbye but I wonder if that would give him the impression that I'm just waiting-would he accept it f I flat out tell him goodbye? when we first started talking and he sent me his pic I told him that I already knew what he looked like cause I looked him up on fb and he said oh so you've been stalking me? with a smiley face next to it (?) and after I told him I only wanted to know what he looked like he wrote "stalker" with another smiley face which I thought was odd - I'd never use the word stalker and a smiley face in the same sentence- that's why cancer dudes have me all confused- my ex would ignore me then come around like nothing- one time after he came around he said he missed me and asked me why I was ignoring him ! I told him I wasn't and that Ive been texting him but he wouldnt write back - no surprise he changed the subject and of course no surprise we're not together anymore..
