Trying to take things slow with a Cancer man :/

I'm a Libra and this guy I'm talking to is a Cancer. I'll be getting showered with affection and then he's trying not to suffocate me. I'm trying my best to take things slow but I'm not used to a guy who moves this cautiously. And yes I'm sure he's into me LOL. The back and forth just confuses me. Any tips for a newbie?
He's a cancer with a moon is scorpio and I'm a Libra with a moon in Cancer. HA!
Just one thing to say - All the best! Its going to be one hell of a ride - hang on tight and enjoy all the good times smile
HEY!!! I'm an aqua who is enjoying the rollercoaster of a cancer man, it is fun and exciting smile
Try showering him with love and watch the fireworks happen
Haha xMoonman - its a case of been there, done that. Unfortunately i was the Libran in the relationship. Oh yes we love smooth sailing and consistency which is something that the Cancer man may not be able to provide. He is going to cause her tons of heartache - because of the differences in view point. But when the going is good on the rollercoaster shes going to have the time of her life - he will charm her completely. But on the dips hmmm she will despise his actions and wont know why he does what he does. His secretive nature will bother her because she will keep her cards on the table in plain view. The guess game will leave her in doubt. If she wants this to go further - she will need to harden herself for the ride. It will work - but it will take tons of work from her! smile
LOL Starry22 that's exactly what's happening and I'm livid! Hahaha!
Xmoonman hey! I like smooth but I can take bumpy I just need it to make sense and end quickly lol. Thanks for the words of encouragement aquaninja lol.
Starchild63, I'm scared to do too much. I don't want him getting comfortable with not doing much and thinking I'm wrapped around his finger lol.
Claro That sounds very difficult. I'm trying not to scream lol. Xmoonman, I try to share things about me or how I feel to let him know it's safe to do the same but he's being difficult. Idk how I can get a deeper understanding if he's just blinking at me lol. It feels very risky and foolish. He keeps convos pretty surface. I weep.
Welcome to my world _???
I just know one cancer man and let me tell you that my experience has not been good. He is too stuck up in his own ways to rise and smell the flowers. His ego is as big as his head if not bigger.
That being said I hope you have a much better experience. There may be plenty of wonderful cancer men out there. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Your libran empathy stands no chance here. Remember not to get wrapped up in the drama.
Thank you Starry. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Those cancers are an interesting bunch. I'm bad at taking care of myself first but I will remember what you said!
Hello all! I am a newbie on the site and just wanted to get some advice. I'm a Libra Sun and Taurus Moon. My new boyfriend (we've been dating for almost three months on the 12th) is a Cancer Sun and Scorpio Moon. I just don't get him a lot of times. When I'm with him, he is funny and caring. The bedroom is where I can SEE his vulnerability and love for me. He says he loves me but then he agrees with me when I say "I know you need time to really share your feelings about me." When I tell him about something that shows that I need someone to be supportive, he will send me these text messages like "you have my heart." He just won't say it in person. And I feel like I usually start the conversation on how I feel about him. He keeps saying that he appreciates my "patience" with him and I'm a pretty patient person but shoot!!!! This is hard and I don't ever remember being in a relationship and working so hard! I'm used to men just being "all in" for me. I'm not trying to brag, but I have always been the person calling the shots in the relationship (except for my last husband who divorced me because he was intimidated by my career!!). I REALLY love him but I'm so confused. It's hard because the holidays are here and I don't know how to conduct myself. On Thanksgiving, we both spent it with our families but we texted throughout the day. I feel like he has so much control over me and I don't want to seem like I'm chasing him because I'm old-fashioned and I just don't do that! He told me that his last girlfriend scared him off when they were together 6months and she started saying how they should be married in another 1.5yrs!! He's been cheated on and I think some of his "caution" in our relationship comes from this. I've tried to keep to myself and not text him (which is his main form of communication) but then he texts me and says "why aren't you "calling" me?) and can be very demanding of an answer right then and there. How should I move him forward in the relationship? Help!!
Zatte, I don't think he is. If so, he's excellent at hiding it! Lol
AKHlaw12 It's hard work indeed! I feel for you. I'm going through certain things you are describing. I wish I knew what to say to help us both lol. I wish you all the luck though.
