Hello, hope Cancer man can help me understand this cancer man that I am interested in. Going to give a brief back story of our situation. Okay, as you know I am a Sagittarius woman. At times I have a temperament that's really laid back, and at times I'm a retreater; don't know why but I like my space from time to time, but still have a really easy going personality. I'd say I am really contradicting.
So I met a Cancer man; we hit it off really well. We both have a corky sense of humor, and are very playful. But then he flipped it on me and became silent. I became pushy and cornered him, like really cornered him. I became the clingy type which I am not at all. He became really cold, even told me to move on. He went as far as blocking me online. We have a push and pull kind of affect on each other. I pushed ;he pulled away. He told me maybe in the future we could give it another try. I snapped and told him I wouldn't hold my breath(I think he felt rejected by what I had said) Anyways, I become extremely obsessed; I'm going to be honest as much as I'm embarrassed by it , but he brought out a side of me that even surprised me.
When I realized that I was knocking on a door that just wouldn't budge; not even with countless letters saying I was sorry; it was all falling on deaf ears, I started the process of moving on. I would like to include that at the time I met him I was going through a really bad break and I believe that's why I clinged to him.
Fast forward a couple of months:
I did exactly as he told me, I started to move on. I in turn decided to block him so he wouldn't be able to access or look at my profiles online. I was under the radar you can say for a good two months. I blocked him because I can be very impulsive, and I need to do it to control myself from contacting him since he did allow me to befriend him again. Once I was good of mind; my old self again; I unblocked him after two months; which was yesterday. He made a comment cause he has a twitter account saying " Sorry bout the pocket tweet."
I being my funny self had to take a jab at it, and commented "What were you doing that your pocket decided to tweet."
Not even five seconds after that he started following me; but he didn't say anything because once you block someone on Twitter, and unblock them again you have to follow them again. So I followed him because I figured he wanted to talk. He lives in New York and I'm from new York but relocated to another state. However, I was vi

i don't even need to read the rest...i mean, YOU chased HIM? unbelievable...not that you chased him, because we do that...but that he didn't turn it around and chase you.
i would just ignore his ass and allow the cancer that he knows he is to come out of him.
cancer men are extremely territorial. let him get that way.
we (sag) just get very impatient sometimes and muck things up.

Wanted to add that he has seen all sides of me; the good; the bad; the ugly and the in between. I tend to be blunt, but in a way that comes of sweet. So he knows every side of me to a T; I tend not to hide myself from anyone just so they can see what they are getting in to. However, he did bring other sides of me that I never thought possible.
Either way; I'm confused. I'm not rejecting him because I always feel if something is meant to be then it will be. I've learned through my experience with him in the past(that one week) to have patience; lots of it cause he is driving me up the wall a little. I'm also giving him his space, as well cause after two days of none stop pushiness he has gone silent, that lets me know that he's controlling his emotional impulsiveness. Another thing, is that career is first(another thing I learned) and he's very busy this week( he told me yesterday before he became silent). To be honest I learned so much in the past; that when he suddenly dropped off the grid when we were talking the night before, I didn't even take it to heart cause it's something he does. He falls asleep and then the next morning picks up right where he left off.
But again; he's confusing me with the Move On in the past and now he has been expressing a lot of urgency. I'm just going with the flow; because I feel little by little he will bring up our falling out in the past. I personally am not going to do it; cause I did a lot of explaining on my part. I dealt with it; accepted it, and moved on from it( don't hold grudges). I'll say in a way I am better prepared to deal with him. But I'm still a bit confused, which in my case is natural.
Still need some insight though.

@silentkiller
No I didn't hurt him. I was honest about my situation. I don't believe in keeping secrets. If anything I was hurt by him because of his silence(passive aggressive nature). But through that I also learned a lot about me; and I worked on myself a lot. I was way too passive with him; where by nature I'm straight forward, and forceful. But with him I couldn't ; to be honest I wasn't even made at him for it. I knew from what he explained that he was emotionally unavailable and indirectly I was asking for something he couldn't give. I also found it hard to respect his space and the silence OMG it was so annoying. Because I like openness whether bad or good. So I wasn't use to dealing with someone so controlled.
Now; he's pressing me; and seeking me out. I asked my step-father who was born the same month and day like the guy I like that if in his twenties he was like that with woman. He said it depends; if he really liked them, and the good in them out weighed the bad, then yes he would chase, at first he would put up a front but once he felt like the were disinterested he would begin to chase like crazy. My step-father says it's a cat and mouse game and I have to continue being the mouse, every now and then showing I care and I'm interested, but not to over due because it's a turn off.
So I'll just go with the flow. Like I said I've learned my lesson and I know patience is a virtue with him.

@rainyday21-
It is a bit difficult to deal with a cancer male; but you learn a lot from them. It's all about adaptation. Thinking or learning how to communicate like them in order to get an understanding of why they react to certain things the way they do. As a Sagittarius woman myself with A Virgo moon I tend to over analyze; that makes me highly anxious. When we see a cancer go silent we automatically think we did something wrong; so we press to see if we did something wrong so we can fix it. However, we need to learn that the silence and or space has nothing to do with us; it's not about us. It can be a number of things; if it is us they deal with it first with in themselves( digest and see things from different angles) once they are ready to talk about it they will come to you.
My step-father helps a lot...lol. My personality helps a lot as well; cause in some ways I tend to need my space; my alone time; and when I do I forget about everyone else( my step-father always tells my mom to stop badgering me when I go silent myself) Not cause they did something wrong; but because I need it for my own sanity.
So pushing doesn't help trust me cause I pushed a lot and caused him to just call it off all together because the Cancer I am interested in just couldn't take the intensity; it's like in his head he might of been thinking "Really is this what I'm constantly going to deal with?" So I advice if you still want to be with him- tone the intensity down. Don't take silence or distance to personal. Breath, relax and learn from him because patience helps a lot. And stay busy cause a restless mind( typical in Sag) can lead to impulsive behavior and if your to inconsistent and all over the place your Cancer is going to feel like you have no control over yourself and that means not secure enough for him.
Hope this helps. I've learned a lot from the silence from the cancer I like( he's a very mature Cancer male for his age; so he expects that same level of maturity in me) They teach you; I learned and trust me I will not make the same mistake twice. Another thing when a Cancer is busy; or working do not be over bearing with text messages and calling. The level of focus a Cancer man puts in to making his money can be like tunnel vision( advice coming from my Step- father). My step-father hates when my mother a Pieces is constantly nagging while he works and don't even dare accuse them of cheating; cause he told me that he hates that as well shows insecurity.

To be honest it's not that difficult; just go with the flow of the water. Stop trying to go against the current if that makes any sense. They really aren't that complicated. It's just that Sag and Cancer have two very different ways of approaching a situation. My cancer fell silent for only two days after he reached out to me on Sep 2, I already knew it was the space period( very busy this week) meaning mental preparedness for a project he's working on; so I didn't bother him, only texted; Good luck this week( to show support in his new project at work) and Sweet Dreams and that was it.
Today he contacted me; thank you babe really appreciate it; gonna be really busy will try to check in when I can.
That's it,
Note: we aren't official, he's still I'll say feeling me out. But we have 7 months of history; in that seven month period i made an as of myself with my impatience, he continued pulling away the more I pushed. He's expressed however that he likes me a lot; respects me and wants to take things one step at a time.
Which is fine with me cause in the past I showed a lot of inconsistency and the inability to respect both his space and busy work schedule. So their is still a level of "I'm testing you." From him.
Baby steps, baby steps.
I don't know all about the whole one step at a time; and the revving of the engine. But honestly I rather have it one step at a time instead of all to fast where the fire can possibly extinguish to fast. It allows for getting to know each other better. There are periods like when he first contacted me this month where it was full blown heading diving first on his part, I believe he was upset that I didn't tell him I went to New York. Then he toned it down because my attitude was controlled. I didn't blow up on him, I was reasoning with him on the situation. My mood; my vibe calmed him down.
I am going with the flow that's where I'm at right now. I know it will continue to push forward relationship wise; but I'm going on his pace this time.

I know I keep writing just trying to help out. Observe your Cancer male if you can. I'm not saying to do on to him what he does on to you cause they are very intuitive and are two steps ahead. You might not know it but they are. They are not dumb trust me.
But observe; I've noticed they have their moments of impulsiveness as well if they are stimulated; however, once they see it or sense it they bump the breaks compose themselves and the slowly walk forward.
Sag; we are also impulsive difference is we don't know when to stop. We stop when the damage is already done and at that point you have f'd up really bad by then. Being blunt to wound doesn't help either which we also tend to do a lot. We do it to get a reaction; that doesn't work on them. Might on a Cap; but not a Cancer.
So think about that. Read in to his moods as oppose to trying to change or coax him in a way to manipulate the situation. It's not going to work. Superficial advances don't work. Like I've said I've learned a lot from the Cancer I like( which is A LOT!) my step-dad has schooled me a lot. To be honest my step-dad when he and my mom our going through their riffs. He's more open and honest about he feels about the situation because he says I'm more understanding. Were she never sees things from both sides she only cares about her feelings. So I'm constantly the piece maker showing things to her from both his and her prospective.
A lot has to do with a Sag level of maturity and past experiences as well.... Even how you dealt with other relationships and bad habits you have developed along the way; that goes for any person. Sag are also very stubborn and selfish when we don't get our way; but a lot of people are like that as well; so It's not just about zodiac signs. At times you need to look with in you and see why you might be feeling a certain way for example rejection; and why you might be projecting that outward and in to any relationship you are developing.
A lot is with in us as people and experiences. We see and expect all of the sensitivity of a Cancer zodiac sign forgetting that they have different dimension to their personalities as is every zodiac sign.
I've learned from my own experience that although I might act aloof or I'm always joketive, I'm still very sensitive emotionally.
I was with a Cap for eight years; we bumped heads really bad. However we starting dating really young; moves to fast and I was immature, so I would always retaliate. While going through

Sorry:
All I'm saying is no two Cancer zodiac signs are the same. Might have similar traits, but not in every aspect of their personalities.
Be patient, not saying be a doormat, just have patience, that's key to the relationship. If you want to express yourself about a situation do it calmly and controlled. Reason, don't push or force so he can see things from your prospective( Cancers can be stubborn as well). But who isn't when a person is constantly pushing and pushing( not saying you are all do it all the time). I for one know I dislike when someone pokes me constantly; that's when I say "enough is enough." And I really push back Thats where feelings get hurt and I say things that I shouldn't.
So always be controlled; even if he seems to lose it; keep your composure and he will soon do the same.
Don't know if the fact they the two of us(Me and My Cancer) have all four elements in our chart helps a lot. I hope it does.
Okay; that's all, hope this sheds light on the situation and hopefully he's mature in nature, and has dealt with past wounds if he's experienced any or at least recently.

Update;
Going good with my Cancer male. Secret; well my secret to keep open communication going is going with flow. I treat it as not setting expectations too high at first, especially those out of reach. I'm also a bit more assertive with him; not brash; but told him what I wanted, cause he asked me. So I told him; and he's ready to go. It reminds me of a song he dedicated to me before we had our really bad falling out.
Anyway; I'm in tuned and will keep it that way. We came to an agreement; that when he's about to fall off the grid(space) to give me warning, just a hint , that way I won't panic. He put..."Lol, I've noticed you become really anxious. So I'll try to remind myself."
He laughed at me when I told him at times he's so hard to Decode. All I know is that I am finally happy that he's not hiding his different facets. Yesterday we texted and talked through out the day. It felt good. He was even working while he was texting me; when he was done then he called and we continued on.
Is that a good thing when you guys(Cancers in general) talk to someone you really like while your at work?
Another question. Everything is going good. My questions is this. We had a really bad falling out that lasted almost 7 months - that's not even lying on my part. It was where he was still going through his inability to be emotionally available and I was. I pushed....I'll just say it like it is this Archer was stuck to him like a piece of gum.
Now he's back; love it want it to stay that way and I will do everything it takes to keep it as it's going Smoothly.
However he has not mentioned at all what happened between us in the past. Is that normal? Because I was honestly acting in the past like a psycho(wow that's hard to admit. But I got to be honest). I honestly thought that was enough to keep him away for good. He has not once mentioned my behavior; or what I had said to him in the past. The only things he brings up is the good moments we had; which is how we are now laid back, fun loving and joketive. The bad he doesn't talk about it. Is there a reason why he chooses not to? And should just leave it as is and just do as him and just leave the negative in the past; learn from it; not forget it and look forward?
He's really working hard for it to work. He's being more aware of himself as far as the silence ; which he does out of the blue and I know it's cause he's busy. So when this happens he text once to let me know he's busy and will text me later at
