Shy or Uninterested Cancer?

Let's start off with how I met my Cancer guy.

I met this Cancer 5 years ago, I've always found him very admirable and respected him a lot. We weren't friends, just barely acquaintancss.

But we somehow ended up as friends this early year through our mutual friend circle and I caught feelings.

I really liked him, he was open yet closed. Friendly yet distant. Nurturing yet uncaring. He was very different from all the guys that I have dated. Very sincere and genuine.

I finally managed to ask him out on a date, and he accepted much to my surprise. Because he never showed any signs that he found me attractive or he was interested. I on the other hand, feel that I was being really obvious, the words "I like you" are. Literally plastered on my head whenever he's around. We never chat online, and he never initiates anything when it comes to me. So it was just a one sided crush on my side.

But he accepted my date, which lead me to want to think otherwise. The date went pretty well. We talked a lot, we shared a lot. He talks highly about his mother (just like all cancers do.) And I talked highly of my family as well. He shared many intimate details that even his close friends didn't know. It felt like he does like me.

But!! He never touch me. Not a single physical contact. I even linked our arms, lean on him, touch his face. And still nothing! Is he shy? Or just not attracted to me hahahaha. By the end of the date, I kissed him on the cheek and still nothing. He did nothing. I gave him a hug and told him I really enjoyed his company and he was very comfortable to be around. I hopped into my cab and went off.

I am not familiar with Cancers and I can't read him. At all! I really like him, but there's so many factors against us. He is 11 years older, I'm 23. So I think that puts him off a little as well. Not only that, I'm an aquarius. I'm very logical, while he's more emotional.

And by logic, I dun think he likes me the way I want him to. But he did tell me during our date, he recently rejected one of our mutual friends who he thinks was interested in him. He never rejected me despite knowing my intentions but at the same time, he doesn't reciprocate. I don't understand. Is he just shy?

shy cancer will still want to be with you. they just act odd while being with you. But they make an effort to be next to you

uninterested cancer will simply ignore you
