First of all, I'm 28 and have been single for over a year. I'm going to school and havn't been interested in a relationship for a long time now. In fact, I have probably stayed home for the past 2 years and havn't gone out with the intention of meeting anyone.
So, my friend encouraged me to join a free dating site just so I could meet other people in my area. I did. Immediately a flood of men came knocking, lol. Well I viewed all the profiles, and no one really sparked for me. Upon a search I found a Cancer man that I found irresistable and told him so. We IMd later that day and exchanged numbers. 2 days later he calls me and we have great conversation and I can't get him outta my head.
Now, my problem is, who makes the next move? I feel like I want to rush this, but then again, I'd like to take my time and not get too caught up. When we finished talking on the phone, he mentioned hanging out some time. And I did meet him on a dating site.
I guess I'm just really shy about these things and prefer to let the man do all the courting. My mistake is that I approached him and now I feel like I have to take the lead. On one hand, I know that if I'm not aggressive enough, I might miss out on a good guy -- and on the other hand, I'm so out of my comfort zone it's unbelievable, but exciting too. LOL.
just be open and honest with him by telling him exactly what you told us on here. we are very understanding and do our best to help you feel at ease. if you don't feel comfortable let him know that is has been a while since you have dated and still a little rusty. i assure you he will take you by the hand and gently lead the way...
Well then, I guess my question would be: What turns a Cancer off more? A woman persuing them or a woman playing hard to get. I don't know how to handle this. I'm usually very hard to get, but this man makes me want to be aggresive and take control.
What would you rather have? A female that lays it out on the line, or a female that presents a challenge?
we okay i guess i should say i like a balance of both. a woman who lets me know she is interested but still a bit of a challenge. i like to take things as they come and don't like forcing the issue. so as you can see it just depends and why we drive a lot of women insane..lol
I would have to say, take your time. Cancers have a habit of getting caught up in the moment so you will need to keep your feet on the ground. Once you guys meet, if he's feeling you he will let you know. But watch out he is very moody, trust. Some cancer men (and men in general) can be very manipulative so even if you guys meet and you are totally feeling him, don't let him know how much, make him work. He'll appreciate you more. Just remember to take everything slow and you'll be fine.

Go spend some time with the fellow. Forget the IM, email and phone. You are pretty intuitave, you will figure the right path. Watch his eyes, pictures of the soul. Most of us are pretty good guys? You will know so much more face to face.
Sorry stating the obvious?

Any thoughts, Cancers?
