Cancer girl needs advice regarding Taurus man..

To (try to) make a long story short, I met this guy recently who, when first making eye contact, I was immediately drawn to and wanted to get to know. It worked out- we ended up talking all night and even spending the night together (don't worry- didn't do anything bad!) We've been spending a lot of time together since then. I've met his friends, he's met mine. he says he wants to settle down and we've both agreed we feel differently about each other versus previous relationships. He asked the other day if we could be exclusive, as it's a little too early to put an actual label on us. When we're together he's very attentive and vocal about his feelings; when apart, he texts that he misses me and whatnot.

So the advice I need is regarding this- maybe it's me being a Cancer, maybe it's the previous relationships I'm been in (mostly Libras), but when I meet someone I really like I want to spend as much time as possible with them. I work 2 jobs and have a lot of other commitments, so even if it's just going to sleep over I want that physical contact, rather than just texting or calling. He doesn't seem to be the same way. Last week we went 3 days without seeing other; this weekend we hung out one night and when I tried to make plans before I went back to work tonight he basically said he had other plans but that it would "make us want to see each other more this weekend". I'm not questioning his feelings towards me- I have no doubt he's as in to me as I am him- but I am used to whirlwind, passionate courtships (if you will).

My friend is a Taurus and she says I need to be patient... that's also the insight I'm getting from most of these threads. But how can I vocalize my desire to spend more time with him during my (rare) free time without scaring him off? Also not sure how the moon and ascending (?) signs work but if it helps his birthday is 4/24/84 and i'm 6/22/84. Thanks so much!
