He Looks, But Doesn't Speak

He will talk to everyone else with ease, but stop near me and not say a word. It is as if he is waiting for me to say something, or react. I don't get it.

he's probably nervous or there's just something about you that puts him in his shell... that happens to me around some libras.

Bolly, I can tell you that he may very well be into you, but like most cancers he is shy.

example I like this guy and I have trouble even saying hi to him but I talk and laugh with everyone else. Even is a cancer knows you are into them, we won't say anything unless we hear it out of your mouth in front of us. It is our need to be reassured that makes us that way. so you showing him interest alone won't do the trick unless you take the initiative. I know it is stupid but it is really hard on us.

Fiddlesticks and Cancerinlove,

Thank you! I think this may be it. It is just that he is so hard to figure out. He would get into his leave me alone (in hibernation) moods so that I really think it is best to leave him alone. However, I really want to interact with him more. He really is cute. I love his warm, sweet moods. I don't mind if he is moody. I think all of us in general are that way. Is there a way to coax him out of his shell? I don't understand why some Cancers retreat into their shells with Libras. We don't bite.

Bolly, I can relate with my cancer. She'll look over at me like to know where I am and things but she'll never initiate conversation with me its always me to start conversation. We must have 'don't talk to us or else' written on our foreheads.

Hey Crudemood!

Yea, really! I wonder if we have a "Beware" poster mounted on us. Strange how these people go out of their way to avoid us. I'm wondering if we give off "stay away" vibes.

Bolly, I can tell you that he may very well be into you, but like most cancers he is shy.

Hey, I am not going to threaten the good folks with my advice! I am going to agree. However made this statement. I agree. Cancer men are shy, and it takes them some time to come around. But, he will watch you until he believes the time is right to approach.

Approach him casually with no pressure. I think Cancers like someone to take the pressure off of them and initiate things. And yeah they do seem to be shy sometimes.

you obviously are stirring up something inside of him which is making him feel nervous or shy. we cancers fear rejection so we will not go straight after the object of our affection. we usually wait around and feel things out so i think krobe is right in that he is studying and watching you right now. he is trying to gauge you and may be trying to find the right time to speak to you. i am sure he doesn't want to say something stupid and we cancers don't like feeling stupid so he is just being cautious right now and is looking for some sort of sign from you to know it is safe. so maybe a friendly hi or some small talk initiated by you might get him to open up around you a bit..

Thanks everyone! I think he is slowly coming out of his shell. He does retreat every now and then when he can't handle the heat. Regardless, I am in no rush for anything. Yes, it is hard to contain myself, but I want him to to want to do something. I am willing to help him along, even if it means to step back. I can feel the tension and mega chemistry stirring between us. It is scary, but I feel that he might not be able to contain himself soon. Do you think I am doing the right thing so far? Again, thanks for all of your support and suggestions.
