OK, so I was on here earlier about my shy cancer guy (first decan) that I'm interested in. I was concerned that he hadn't talked to me in a week (via Facebook) and you all recommended I wait it out. You were right! It took all of my power not to contact him but I didn't and yesterday he sent me an instant message. (Which I missed.. ugh!) But I felt that it gave me an excuse to send him a message. So I thought for an HOUR with the help of a friend what I was going to say, thought of something cute and just a short paragraph long.. and he responded back today with like, 3 sentences. LOL. So then, being the OCD person I am, I saw he was online and IMed him instead of messaging him back. He chatted for a minute then said he was finishing up work and would IM me when he got home if I was online. So of course I waited, thinking he wouldn't IM me but he did, and the first thing he said was "sorry, ran into some friends" as his explanation for making me wait. Good, I guess? He asked what I was up to and I said I had just got back from the gym, I said it's a great way to boost my mood- he asked if I was in a bad mood which I thought was odd? And I said no, I'm never really in a bad mood just more like a bored mood.. lol. We talked for a short while, I mentioned how I was cooking for my mom's party tomorrow, he said he wished he could cook. then ABRUPTLY says he has to study. for a test about pesticide. so he left.. to go read about pesticide. so obviously he'd rather read about PESTICIDE than talk to me so I'm pretty much confused as hell.. please, ladies who have experienced these crazy crabs.. is he interested? or just super awkward online... hahaha


please, any advice you can offer i would greatly appreciate. i have no one else to vent to except you guys who can relate!

they can go without having face to face contact for long periods of time (like month(s)) and still feel the same, if not deeper & more intensified than before because they FEEL and live in their hearts



100% true. BUT... what about you? What do you want? This is acceptable on an exception, not on a regular relationship.

Relax, you are at the beginning. Just be yourself, don't change because of him. Let him fall in love for who you really are. That makes a relationship secure, full of trust and love. Let him be who he is. Don't create a perfect guy telling yourself that if he doesn't contact you it means that or other (e.g. he doesn't contact me but his feelings are growing - like the quote above would suggest)

What is your sign?

Yes the over analyzing....I love and hate it at the same time (virgo too) I do it a lot with my cm (well a lot in general lol)....he constantly tells me to stop thinking lol Seems like with cancers though...you just cant analyze what they say or do...even though its hard! They don't know themselves from one day to the next...at least this is what my cm says to me.

His bday is July 2....I believe he is a first decan

Yeah, ugh. I guess I'll just have to find out in a week when I go visit him in Canada... Do you think he'll think I look desperate because I'm drivin 3.5 hours into another country to see him and I hardly know him? Are there any indicators you can think of that might hint at whether or not he's interested? Im starting to get worried and think this whole thing off and I shouldn't go see him. What if were both awkward and can't talk? Lol this sound really ridiculous but I watched twilight last nigt and I was like wow hr acts a lot like Edward and I'm super awkward like Bella. So I looked up the characters birthdays.. Bellas is 2 days after mine and Edwards is 6 days before my cancer's! Just found that interesting since thought or personalities were similar... Not a twilight fan at all lol

no no no! not necessarily. they can go without having face to face contact for long periods of time (like month(s)) and still feel the same, if not deeper & more intensified than before because they FEEL and live in their hearts 🙂 always remember that - it's a trait i would love to possess.



Wineaux, you are 100% right! Distance/time doesn't make a difference to me about how I feel about people. And I hate phones, right again! lol

haha! That's pretty bizarre. Why not go? Just go and see what happens, at this point it doesn't sound you have anything to lose and if it doesn't work out like you expect then you can move on to the next great guy.

He had shit to do.

It's simple to him - but not to you.

Look, Cancer men have times to do things. It;s ALL about time - and no matter how muc h you don't understand it he won't understand your need for him to NOT have times to do things.

He talked to you - but he'd have been aware of having things to do, which for a Cancer male is quite stressful because they NEED to do their thing.

I doubt he'd rather spend time learning about pesticides than talk to you but he'd see it as a pressing matter, one which he couldn't avoid. That's all.

Talk to him again tomorrow and just remember that he's a busy man with shit to do and no matter what, he's going to get it done. It's the Cancer way.

Stop sulking ;p

By the way:

Unless you're prepared to live your days going with the flow and fully accepting the oddities of a Cancerian male, don't get into anything with him.

It is the most roller-coaster- style emotionally draining experience you're ever likely to have and you will never, EVER work a Cancer male out. Ever.

Unless you accept this, you'll be full of impatience, resentment and general unhappiness.

However, if you can accept his ways then you have yourself one of the most beautifully sensitive, huge-hearted and deliciously attractive men on the planet. He'll be insecure, selfish and spent his time running from one cave to the next - but rest assured he will love like no other man will love - but you may never be told this, only shown.

I love, love, LOVE Cancer males. And i hate them too lol!

Seriously, don't even bother trying to "work them out". Just be there, love him and make sure you show him you love him. No head games, no immature "I'm leaving, chase me" crap.

Accept or reject the oddities and you'll be sweet.

thanks nzaqua, that's great advice. i think the fact that i'll never figure him out only adds to his appeal. i just need to be more confident and believe that why wouldn't he want me? i keep thinking i'm not good enough but i need to just grow up and be confident. once i'm confident in myself i won't need for a guy to tell me anything, i'll just know it. i think the only females that can handle cancer males must have to be very self-confident to not have to have them constantly saying how much they love them! i would honestly rather be shown it than told it, though. my last bf was a gemini, quite the talker, but that was it. all talk. he was a very selfish, manipulative person. my gay best friend is also a gemini and he acts the exact same way. need to stay away from those geminis, they mess with my head! anywho, i will take your advice seriously though. i must tell myself-you are a catch, there is nothing for him not to like. just go for it! 6 days until i see him, gotta keep up with my self pep talk until next friday-- then it's into the snake pit!

Roxy that makes total sense, if I wasn't a Cancer myself I guess I'd be bothered by my Cancer husband, we just kinda have an unspoken agreement that we are perfect for each other and we love each other and we're both ok with that. On the other hand, my ex was a Gemini and I chased after that guy like a fool because I just wasn't confident in his love...he was so wishy washy and I never knew where I truly stood.

Give it a good shot and I hope it works out for you, Cancers are worth keeping 🙂

the more distant I became, the tighter he holds on. I just got a text yesterday from him fussing because I don't call him enough. LOL Monday he text me twice but I couldn't respond because my phone screen had cracked and made the phone inoperable. After an hour he began to call me. LOL This guy never calls, just text. They don't like to feel ignored, but when he's in his moods he'll ignore me. Gotta love a crab! I'm seeing him this week. Oh boy! I can't wait....

I know you're all saying distance/time don't make a difference, but is that AFTER they've already fallen for you? I've only known him the duration of our time on our cruise, we only kissed twice that's it. We've chatted online 3x since then very briefly, so I highly doubt he's feeling as strongly as I am (I fall quickly, but I'm practical too). now we live 3 hrs apart in USA and Canada. also, i'm moving to california in august, but i want to start a relationship with him but i feel as if i tell him that now he'd just completely not want to bother, you know?

Dear roxyfalcon2006, i have a present for you:



Can you see how relaxed is the Virgo sitting on the crab? And how he tries to protect her... like saying "she's MINE!" I just love this image and I think it represents very well the relationship between this two signs.

I'll have to disagree with NZAqua:
No head games, no immature "I'm leaving, chase me" crap.

We are talking about cancer and virgo! This head games came naturally, without even trying! If the crab doesn't respond... virgos know how to disappear too! And that will make him chase... so the virgo stops running... the crab is falling more and more... and there he goes, running, but the virgo is there and knows how to get him close and so on...

How is that confusing? He had to go study for a test. You're upset because he needed to go study for his test instead of talking to you? Would you rather he spent all his time talking to you and fail out of school? If you're gonna have a problem with him having obligations other than you then I don't recommend you even try to be in a relationship right now. Just be friends.

Good on ya! 🙂

Cancer male "Oh, she's easy-going, she's not giving me a hard time, I want more of her, she feels good to be around".

Lol, if you nag him? "Bugger this, she's a pain in the arse".

Same for a lot of people I guess, regardless of sun sign.

I suppose it's okay to look at it from an astrological sense because yeah, it DOES help at times - a lot. But there's got to be a general common sense applied too for the best result.

He's around, he's not forgotten you - can be sure of that 🙂

If this helps at all, I'm a 1st decan (female) Cancer (and have Virgo rising), and sometimes don't check my e-mail for weeks. I'm not always very good at returning messages, either. It's not because I'm avoiding people on purpose. It's just that I get really focused on certain things and kind of forget about making an effort to contact people during those times. I'm just a very physically private person who can spend an almost unnatural amount of time alone. I realize that many people would assume that people like me are cheating or uninterested, but that's really not the case. I just need lots of alone time. I don't have a Facebook or MySpace account, either, because I just don't want to talk to strangers or have random people I knew from HS (or wherever) trying to contact me.



Purrhiss, it's so funny that you say that, I'm the same way. I've been by myself in Texas for almost 3 months and although I miss my husband, I don't mind being alone at all. Everybody says to me "oh it must be SO hard that your husband is halfway across the country" and then when I say it's actually not a huge deal they look at me like I've lost my marbles lol. It's really not the end of the world and I feel like it makes us love and appreciate each other more because of the distance.

I'm not on Facebook or Myspace either, I got off of Facebook over a year and a half ago because I couldn't take the drama. For a while I liked it, but eventually it turned into a really bad thing and it caused me a lot of stress. My feelings were constantly hurt, eventually I just thought WHY do I need this in my life? My true friends don't need facebook to talk to me. Since I got off of Facebook I can count on my hands how many of the 150 people on my friends list actually give a damn to talk to me anymore. I think that goes to show how fake it really is. My life is so much better, peaceful, easy, and non-dramatic in every way. Of course, some of my friends still have drama, but it's NOT with me so that's all I care about.

Thanks guys.. the weekend went great! I have plenty for you all to dissect.. lol. STILL confused. you'll see why.. haha!

The good: (I think)

Met his mom- who loves me, I think.. when I was leaving she insisted I call her when I got back from the long drive and when I called she said, "glad you got home safely, love. miss you already!" So I think I'm golden in that department. Met all his friends and twin brother (who is the EXACT OPPOSITE of him-not shy at all) and got along with them SO WELL, it was like we'd all been friends for years. The whole time they all joked around about us.

He paid for everything.. we went to lunch, dinner, the movies, brunch on Sunday, etc... he always told the waiter that our bills were together and the others were separate. Don't know if he's just a gentleman, if he felt bad I drove 3.5 hours there and back to see him and that's why he paid, or if he was genuinely interested, who knows.

He held the door for me everywhere, like would open it and let me walk in first. Again, that might be a Canadian thing, I dunno.

He insisted I take his room and he slept in the basement on the couch, carried my luggage in and stuff.

We watched 2 movies together alone in his basement and of course he didn't really make a move.. but he kept his hand next to his leg where mine was too so I THINK he wanted to hold it.. I dunno. So finally, I leaned my head on his shoulder a little bit and he immediately put his arm around me. Then he fell asleep. And snored REALLY loud hahaha but it was cute.

OK this is kind of funny-The second movie, he went to the bathroom, and I went after him.. and I noticed there was toothpaste on the counter and it definitely hadn't been there before. So either he thought his breath smelled OR he wanted to kiss me, lol. BUT again, he didn't make a move.

The bad, maybe?:

So.. I had to do it, of course.. lol. So we kissed, FINALLY, (this was the second night.. first night he walked me to my room and hugged me and ran away haha) but he ended it quickly, of course. He said something like "It's too bad you live in the states, eh?" which made me think great, so he definitely doesn't want anything. So I said "Yeah but it's not that far", and he said "But I do like you." WTF does that mean??!

(Continued in second post)

Oh also.. what a coincidence that I went to see him the weekend of a Supermoon... I planned to see him on a full moon because I know cancers are effected by that but what are the odds it was a SUPER moon. lol!

Back to the good:
Sunday (yesterday) was my last day there and we went to brunch and met one of his best friends from Thailand, afterwards we went to her house and her mom read our Tarot cards. First she read mine and I found this very interesting. She said think of the "question" while shuffling the cards 22 times in my left hand so of course my question was what's going on with my cancer boy. In the position of "me" I got the Empress card, which is just like me- strong, intelligent, confident, goal setting, etc. In the present situation card I got the Hermit, and the lady was like Hahaha that's him! Pointing at my cancer. lol. Then, in the Question position, I got the Lovers card. Talk about coincidence. LOL. So basically the whole time she was like. Obviously she likes you, she drove 3.5 hours to see you, etc. and we both just kept blushing because it was kind of embarassing.. but I was loving it the whole time hah! It was HIS idea for her to do my cards, and she's a very blunt person and said something like.. "you obviously wanted to know about her future with you" or something. So onto HIS cards.. He gets the World in some position and the lady was like, he's very happy right now. Then in his present.. (Where my hermit was) he gets The Empress! The lady was like, I think you're soul mates! hahaha. So, she was basically like you should go for it who cares about distance all this stuff and he kept blushing.

Then we went home and had dinner with his mom, which was nice. I thought he'd want me to go right after, since he always seems to end things abruptly, but he wanted to hang out in the basement, and he really opened up to me.. he was talking a lot actually, which I was surprised. He talked about how he was always the weird kid and into art and photography and stuff, never had the nerve to ask a girl to the prom, talked about how it's hard to get him mad and how he's been in 2 fights he didn't start.

But what does this mean... multiple times throughout the weekend he had mentioned different girls that "fell in love" with him and he wasn't interested. Like he took his friend to prom and she got the wrong idea, some friend liked him and he didn't like her so she got a bf to make him jealous but it didn't work and then the bf started a fi

He even said he had joined a dating site or something but only old lady cougars contacted him so he quit. He's 24 and freaking hot by the way, so I don't understand why he'd need a dating site to find women when he's had several after him... which brings me to my next point:

What does this mean... multiple times throughout the weekend he had mentioned different girls that "fell in love" with him and he wasn't interested. Like he took his friend to prom and she got the wrong idea, some friend liked him and he didn't like her so she got a bf to make him jealous but it didn't work and then the bf started a fight witIs he trying to make me jealous or tell me he's not interested? He invited me to go camping in June, (and drunkenly invited me to Newfoundland with him the first night too, but I don't know if he really meant it, I'd totally go though).


We kissed goodbye in his basement and he said he'd visit me in Michigan. I said bye to his mom and she hugged me twice, I think she really likes me.

Last night I texted him saying I made it home and thanks.. and whenever he wanted to come to Michigan to let me know. He responded, "No problem! Don't forget about camping!" but camping isn't until June 24th.. does that mean he doesn't plan to see me until then?? I can't wait 3 months!!

So there you go.. Dissect away! haha

Well it definitely sounds like he's into you!! No guy that didn't like you would have done all that. Sounds like he also wanted to make you a little jealous and see your reaction to other girls liking him. It also sounds like he's trying to flatter you by basically saying he's giving you a chance but he wouldn't give the other girls a chance. Making future plans is a true blue sign that he wants you around. I would definitely think he will come visit you before June. Sounds like the trip was well worth taking!

I'd take that as him being interested.

Having dated a cancer male I can tell you there's a huge lack of direct speaking - they elude to things, not come right out with it until they feel safe enough.

He's interested, so go with the flow (as you have to with cancer men), let him inch forward, let it progress in whatever way it will progress and all going well, you'll have yourself a very sweet, incredibly romantic, very caring man.

Ah, I've such a soft spot for Cancer men, they are such lovely people - hard to understand at times - but lovely people all the same.

Ooooo, keep us informed, yeah? 🙂
