smitten by a cancer, insights appreciated!

Hello folks,

I met this girl at church through one of my best friend, and yes we hit it off well! After while we did met at church for couple of times apart from last meet on pre-thanksgiving party! Cancerians loves kitchen I think, she was like washing and cleaning leftovers. Anyway I endup talking to her again, in the end I did hug her first time gently..LOL. God, she's a perfect Lady! I can feel it.
After then she sent me FB friend request, now that's intrigued me! Honestly, as my self a cancerian I know how reserved I am!
I thought that must be a subtle cue of her interest?! what you think guys?

And bytheway, today I felt like I've missed her @church, seems she was out of station I think! I thought today I should ask her for a dinner but couldn't find her. Well, I don't know is it a right or wrong thing to do but I end up messaging her on FB, saying
'I was like looking for you today@church but couldn't find you, then I thought you maybe out of station for holidays?! Hope your thanksgiving was full of fun with your family'

Honestly, I thought I should show her signs of interest from my side too, I know Cancerian women are shy people sometimes!
Now what's my next step?! Do you think me being a cancer sunsign/scorpian ascendant works out with this fellow cancer girl?!

insights appreciated.
Thanks.

Being a Cancer as well, I can say to take it slow. I know how we cancers get when we meet someone. We go over the moon, especially if they meet all what we look for. Go on the date first and see if the feeling and connection is there.

However, since you said your gut is giving you a good feeling, I say go for it! Trust your gut - it's your soul whispearing to your heart 😉

I think you're fine. That was a nice message you sent. Very warm, friendly, inviting, feeling out interest and not creepy in any way. Now, just wait on her to respond or not.

Btw, I don't think a friend request on Facebook really means anything.
