I'm Cancer/Leo cusp dealing with a Libra (yeah before you say anything, I KNOW! 😛) and here's the story in a nutshell.
We matched on Tinder around a month ago and we chatted for a week before meeting for coffee, it went well but I was fairly nonchalant about it (although I definitely liked him) and he messaged me afterwards saying he'd had a great time and would I like to go see a movie. I said yes and it was after this that I started to fall for him. Since then we've been out around 5 times (every time has been wonderful) and we've learned that we have some pretty significant things in common with one another. We both have something of a parallel path.
We slept together for the first time last weekend and it was amazing, I knew at that point I had some quite substantial feelings for him. We spent the night together and he seemed a tiny bit preoccupied with me and my ex. He asked a couple of times whether I still had issues or baggage with them. I told him I was only looking at him and it was fine. He said on Tinder that he was looking for a relationship. He said he had to pinch himself that he'd found someone like me and there was no catch. I was honestly so surprised by this because I think he's completely out of my league (a definite Cancer foible which I'm dealing with)
After that, we've been chatting daily but it hasn't been as intense. It's hugely friendly and not awkward at all (if anything, I'm overthinking it) and he has a very busy social life which is something I love about him and I'm not at all jealous about. I don't feel possessive, I suppose I just feel like I don't know where I stand. I was going to have the talk today as we met up again and it was lovely. We got physical and I have to say I haven't been so in tune with someone like that ever. I was ready to ask him very gently about where things were heading in his mind but then he had to go off and do other plans and it didn't feel right to bring it up. He kissed me and asked to see me again this weekend and I accepted. That's a good sign, right?
Here's the thing. It's my tendency to overthink and overanalyse the emotive side of things while it's his (I think) to do the same logically. When we're together it's amazing, a real match, and when we aren't it's always super lovely messaging him (though he's often so busy to reply right away but that's ok)
I know he has some issues with his ex. The ex was a very possessive and jealous person who looked through his phone and sabotaged things and I want him to know I'm far from that in every way possible. He also mentioned that he had been seeing someone who was also seeing someone else on the side so I think he has a complex about that given that he asked me about my ex. It's hard to read because I think there is some baggage there (not enough to put me off him) but I am unsure as to whether he needs me to say something to help him proceed or whether he's frozen in a place where he's still weighing me up, classic Libra style . He asked me what the catch was with me and I said there wasn't one, he said there wasn't one with him either. I don't feel that he's playing the field either, I think he's a fair person and when we first got together physically he said it was his first time in 5 months and I believe that.
We're not committed, I want to be but I also don't want to scare him. That said, I don't want to be frozen in this spot where it's amazing but doesn't move forward at all. It's also fairly new...I wish I knew what to do!
Do I gently spell it out to him? Does he need that? Or does he know where I am and is waiting it out for his own reasons?
Help!
