How to get a Cancer Man back?

About 20 days ago, I ended things with my Cancer guy. He was acting distant, and cold. So I texted him and cut it off. He did call me and we ended it. He said he didn't want a relationship.
He moved from my city to another. He has only been in his new city just a week.
Saturday was his birthday and I texted him happy birthday. He said thanks. Then I said "Hope you have a great day, and all is going well". He responded and said "yes, and YOU too."
I don't know if I am letting my pisces emotions get the better of me. But I am missing him.
I would like to at least be friends.
What should I do?
Anything? Nothing?
Well you shouldn't have contacted him. You should respect the mans wishes & leave him alone. He was kind enough to say thanks. Are you afraid to be alone. If he wanted something more, he would have told you that himself. Don't set yourself up to be hurt again. Just find someone else.
After I thought about it. I would like to at least be friends. I wasn't really looking to rekindle anything.
And I texted him on his birthday because I don't have any hard feelings and am still a classy girl.
Well that was sweet of you to text him on his birthday. But I believe that if he wanted to be friends or still talk to you, he would.
Well its tough for me when comes to being only friends with women. They always start acting funny & or want to always complain to me about why some guy don't like them or why he wont do what they want. That gets tiring. I rather have a GF or Wife instead smile.
You ask in your post how to get back your ex and then when confronted with the fact he ended things say you just want to be friends. You can't be friends. That's a lie. It sucks being dumped. Been there. Had that happen to me. And in the beginning it's natural to want him back. But refusing to accept reality, that it's over and done with, is only going to tie you to a past that's gone, torture yourself over a future that never will be and ultimately hurt self-esteem by chasing after a man who doesn't want you. Think more highly of yourself than that. It will suck for awhile (it will suck anyway) but you need to move on from this. Don't play the I can, I really can just be friends with him game. You'll get burned. Not him.
Ooops...okay so you ended things. Must not have been working for you if you did that. He's moved out of town anyway. Let this go. If it were right for you, you'd never have ended it to begin with.

ugh texting.
Yeah I agree @KissMygrits, I hate texting with a passion. I don't want my relationships to involve that. If I can't hear the persons voice at all, ill be unhappy. I think texting is only good for love notes or directions to something NOT conversation in a relationship.
I agree with some of what is being said.
He was the one growing distant for last 3 weeks of our relationship. And made the decsion to move to another city/state away from me without even giving me a heads up. I had to find out from other people. He couldnt' even tell me himself. Pretty Crappy.
When I tried to ask him whats going on. He was super snotty to me on a few texts not wanting to answer my questions about where we stood.
I am just having an issue trying to understand, how he can go from I can't wait for you to meet my Mom to ignoring me. When I did nothing wrong.
All I did was hit the button him wanted to.
But now its almost been 30 days and now I am feeling a little bad. Missing him.
Kinda like buyers remorse. Doing the woulda, shoulda, coulda.
I did wish him a happy birthday, because I still care about him.
I was just hoping to be friends out of it.
Based on what you are saying that just might not be an option.
Well why would you miss someone who moved away without telling you. If he truly cared, you two would still be together. I think you should move on. Because being friends with an Ex who treated you badly is just wrong. Its better to be by yourself then with someone who clearly doesn't care. Im sure he ain't missing you. Maybe you are afraid to be alone that's why you chase after an ex that doesn't give a damn.
I agree. I am torn. I miss some parts of him. Of course not the part where he ignored me and decided to move without telling me.
But when things were good, they were good. We had a closeness.
I don't mind being alone. I am alone ALOT.
I am just trying to make sense out of things.
Ohh ok then. Well I hope you find the closure you need. Take Care!
Cancer are moody and honestly the best thing is to move on! You can do better pisces babe! He's in another city now. It's not going to work. Go do something fun or different that you have always wanted to do. You deserve it.
You are a Pisces which means you can do so much better than dreaming over an ex.
