Scorpio and Cancer... as there any hope??

So I am helplessly attracted to a scorpion friend of mine (Libra moon), who I see almost daily. Has communicated to me how much he appreciates me, how attractive he thinks I am (although the compliment was kind of dry). How special our connection is compared to others in his life. He always shares with me what's going on in his personal life, but rarely asks whats going on in mine. If I text him, he will (usually) respond, and the conversation goes where I drive it. But if I dont initiate, we wont talk. In person, he will position himself somewhere where I can see him and WAIT for me to speak to him. I don't know... some days I feel like our attraction is not only mutual but magnetic. Other days I feel like he's just being himself (typical scorpio charmer) and I'm being gullible and way too vulnerable. During those times I try to fall back a little. When I do, here he comes again... standing somewhere close enough to be seen, but refusing to say anything.

Scorpios... any ideas? Am I reading too much into this? I tend to do that from time to time! (I'm a double-cancer)

I used to flirt with him, in word and touch. I bought him a gift for his birthday. Called him on Thanksgiving and told him I was glad to have him in my life, and that I hope I've communicated to him how much I like him. I mean I try to show him that I like him without being overbearing, you know? I'll be honest. There's another guy in the picture here. A mutual friend of ours (Gemini). Flighty and fun. He and my scorpio crush have been getting closer. I comment about it sometimes. He tells me that Gemini is fun, but he doesn't really "connect" with him like he connects with me. I hear him, and I want to believe him. Damn this Cancerian intuition. Part of me thinks Scorpio just really enjoys the attention he gets, from whomever gives it to him. I dont know... I like the guy... a lot. Just wish I could get a better read on him (which is usually very easy for me) before I make myself vulnerable. Is that even possible with a Scorp? lol
