Well, if you're talking about Directness...that is the last thing you should expect from a crab...they're Crabs(a bit of reading about them might come handy)...they will never directly go for something they want.If this bothers you then maybe you shouldn't be thinking of starting something with a crab.

Personally, I like the fact that they are subtle..it's more fun guessing!!

Yes I did notice that, they get closer when you invite them, then... they move 10 steps back and leave you wondering What the hell happened? did i do something wrong? i've asked him and he'd say "oh nothing, nothing's wrong!" but i mean Im not stupid I did see it happening, so why is that?
I thought maybe i had scared him off, i don't know what to think sometimes, sometimes i thought is he playing a game? but now, he comes back around hours later and again everything seems fine!
But why do they do that? Was he frighten?
Please explain to me some more! ! Pleaaase!

Cafrella..
This person needs space. If this person doesn't want to share his secrets, or he's having an issue.. why are you letting it stress you out? When he's ready to share, he will.

One thing I've learned from dating is that you cannot expect another person to communicate the way you communicate. I mean, I'm an Aries, and at times I can be direct--it's refreshing for some, but rattles others. Maybe your directness rattles him.. ever thought about that?

Interested or not, unless he's single- what good can it be?

I mean to tell you the truth this relationship you're trying to have with him is gonna get tripped by the fact that he's living with someone else (happily or unhappily). Until he's single, he'll always have a ready-made excuse to distance himself from you.. and any kind of "closeness" you want from HIM... when he doesn't want to be bothered.

Please read and tell me what you think:

Watch a Cancer woman at a party, when she spots a man she is attracted to. Move straight in and begin a conversation? Never. She will circle around the room, studiously ignoring the desired object. She will chat brightly to everyone within range. She will somehow contrive to join a group standing nearby. She might succeed in spilling her drink an inch from his trouser leg, and probably not even be aware of what she is doing, in any calculating way. Cancer is an instinctive sign, doesn't like to analyse its own motives. But take the initiative directly? Never. That exposes her to possible rejection, humiliation or looking ridiculous. If you really want to see a Cancer terrified, threaten him with those things: rejection, humiliation, loss of face. Cancer is so sensitive, so vulnerable to other people's opinions of himself. That is, unless he absolutely trusts everyone present. Then anything might happen.

How true is this now? comments anyone? Mesuline I like to hear what you have to say!

YES, in most cases that is how cancer males and females act.

If you really want him, you have to be patient with him.Most of them are charmingly old fashoined when it comes to relationships, even if he really likes you he might wait until this thing with the other woman is completely over.He wouldn't want to hurt her in anyway by betraying her trust...I think that's a good thing...don't you?

My harshness and cruelty towards those i don't care about can only be matched by my tenderness and affection towards those i love. My sun and rising being in cancer probably mean that i'm concentrated crab, for all the good and all the bad.

"He" doesn't seem manipulative, just cautious. I understand your confusion. Being so close and tender and stuff with the wrong person can be devastating and very hurtful, so we have to make sure all is fine before we go in. I'm like this in almost everything, i try to get the most information about something before going after it, cd, videogame, job, whatever, i don't care for surprises. Leos are often in the spotlight, so it's hard to find the right time. Even if the crab hides under his rock sometimes, you know he's there, right?

Oh, and it's M E L U S I N E, not Mesuline.

MISLEADING THREAD TITLE ALERT!!!

I have to agree with mr.crabby's comment " Very convincing liars, no remorse about treating badly someone they don't care about. If i don't know and love you, you're like cattle to me "

I too can be that way from time to time, i can be your dream come true or your Nemesis.

Regarding Manipulation, i have a female Leo cousin and she is a serious manipulator, like i know something about her past that could totally screw a family situation up, if i was to tell what i know to my aunt and uncle, its a damn shame though and thier best off not knowing, what is worse though is she brags of her ways.

As Melusine points out we dont directly go for something that we want, cancer people are not two faced, but we do know when someone is taking advantage and if we do lose control or become nasty with someone its usually after taking a lot of nonsense and bottling it up for a while, in time we must release the tension like all others do.

Sometimes a crab will pretend that thier no longer interested in someone or something, in order to throw others off the scent, then when the rest have let down thier guard we pounce and use our little pinchers to crab what we have been watching the whole time, we are not so much manipulators but more strategic players, we look before we leap.

Words right out of my mouth, Q.

Cafrella.

When I first started coming to dxp, I wanted to know all about virgos. Guess who was the first to answer me?

Fast-forward to today, and I know so much more about Virgos- but did that get me closer to the guy I had my eye on? NOPE.

This person, though cancer, is unique. To understand him, take time to get to know him. The fact that you have so many questions and confusions means you need more time to know him and understand how HE works.

Maybe you came here to be coddled.. or you may only want to hear how to seduce Cancers .. or maybe you just want seduce this man in particular.. but only in my humble opinion do I think this is a bad idea. Mainly because he's not single.

I'll even go a step further to tell you that if this guy is the one- then you should be taking time to know HIM..understand HIM as the Person.. not him, the cancer.

Hey take it easy, yes of course I'm going to know him AS A PERSON! I'm just trying to understand Cancers, is that ok with you? I've never been with a cancer before, i have a girlfriend who's cancer and i'm learning a lot through her too... Don't worry, I know what I have to do and no i will not date someone who's attached... One day at a time and if it's meant to be... it will be.
Ok with you?

Why are you asking if it's ok with me? My opinion is no better or no worse than anyone else's... since this is your ideal, I only assumed you will do what you want- regardless of what I think.

Furthermore, you're on a public opinion forum. You posted questions.. that I assume is free to be answered by anyone. Cancer is on the door- but everyone is welcome. I discussed the topic as I saw it... up to you filter out what you want...

Take it easy? I didn't realize I was being rough. Not too long ago, you said you enjoy being direct and you hated manipulation. Here I am being direct.. I didn't beat around the bush as what I was thinking... Was I wrong?
All I want to know is : Do all cancerians "jump to conclusions" without asking or knowing the situation ? do you never ask a direct question?

I have noticed that ALOT of cancers go into music and acting,like myself i'm now getting into producing,arranging and writing lyrics. Are most cancers have the innate ability to have music in their blood. Does the emotional part have us drawn to music and

Oh by the way, CL, Cancerboy called me yesterday asking if I knew what I did wrong. I said "No",but I'd love to talk about it." He FREAKED out that I didn't know, so I started guessing that maybe I could've been there more for him or something & he just f

Hello.

I wanted to say you one thing:

SCREW YOU ALL!

But that one is unnecessary, because God already SCREWED YOU ALL!

Thank you.

Well, he made a move for the fourth time and I turned him down. He has been trying to be with me for a very long ti

You are sympathetic and understanding to other people's problems, which makes you a nosey prick.
You always keep putting things off.
this is why you will always be on welfare, and won't be worth a turd.
Everybody in prison is a Cancer.
