WHY THEY SAY CANCER & LIBRA DONT MIX??

I know normally this doesn't mix, but I??ve often wondered if the Cancer men I??ve come across are just a couple out of a million that seem to mesh pretty well with me?? Lol. I had one I??ve known since I was 13, and he and have been close like magnets ever since his greedy azz tried to steal my cotton candy in 7th grade. Lol. I mean we really love and trust one another. I understand his highs and lows, and it often makes me want to protect him. He's way more sensitive than people know and he's the sweetest most funniest guy I??ve ever met, I??ve told him things I??ve never told anyone else, and him to me. I should probably mention I have a Pieces Moon, don't know if that explains anything.
then there are a few bad apples that are true to the horoscope prediction for Libra & Cancer. My Dad is Cancer and we cant even agree on why the sky is Blue (if you catch my drift) we often argue a lot, but I love him dearly. Then there's this other Cancer whom I know is very sensitive but instead of retreating into his shell like most Cancers to deal with their problems, he acts out like an azzhole on purpose (BELIEVE ME he does the ish on purpose) mainly because he thinks it's cute and I guess he feels it keeps him from getting hurt, in my opinion it will keep him alone in the end. That's mean but shoot he's mean! Lol. So as you can imagine he and I did not work out. Then there's my Grandfather, sweet and passionate, thoughtful and funny like the first Cancer I mentioned. I was really close to my Grandfather, he never judged and always seemed to give it to people straight in the nicest way of course, and great listener. He's gone now though 😢 .
Last but not least I just met another Cancer and so far he seems to have the same traits as my Grandfather. He super sweet, and thoughtful, and funny, and a great listener. He seems to really REALLY want a serious fun-filled loving committed relationship. He lives about 10 hrs away from me in another state. However he works for an airline so he can see me whenever because he flies for free. I'm nervous to let him in though, I??ve heard Cancer men don't do well with distance. He has a one year old, so I??ve already made up my mind if things got serious I??d pack up and move closer so he wouldn't have to be far from his son. Anyway, we've only been talking and dating for about 3 weeks now. Any thoughts or opinions are welcome

@ CLUELESSCANCER, Are you talking about Libras? or the Libra & Cancer pair as a whole.
@picienpices: I'm confused about your response too. Are you saying he (the cancer) wont give it a chance to get off the ground, or me (libra girl).I was the one that was nervous about our distance, it doesn't seem to bother him, he says i'm exactly what he wants and he doesn't care if he has to come here very often. He seemed happy when i told him i would be willing to come to his state to be with him if we got serious. I really like him, and i dont have kids or anything serious tying me to my current state plus im young. Only live once, if he turns out to be my true love i'm outta here! lol

Distance is probably the only thing that can make a Cancer-Libra thing work. Don't move.

So what you are saying is that it is best to keep the push pull games going for as long as possible? hahaha...when closer in proximity spontaneous combustion might occur?

I think the lack of communication, avoiding confrontation and "famous" disappearing act. As a Cancer/Leo cusp I can only be patient with the above named behavior so long, before I let the whole situation go.

@BlackIndian: Thanks so much! I truly appreciate the long answer honestly, because I'm nervous I'm falling very hard for my Cancer already. It could just be infatuation but he's so sweet and cool and his love for family and all just makes it hard not to gush over him. In Libra women defense though, I will admit once we really start to like someone and they stop doing even the smallest thing that made us fall in the first place, we get scared and start acting like we could careless, trying to match your actions so we don't come off weak. For example, if you always respond to her text messages, always call her in the morning and at night, she will happily do the same. Small things count with us, but if you abruptly stop doing those things, she will worry that she's done something wrong, or that you no longer like her as much as you used to, and sometimes more often than not, she will panic and start mirroring you instead of talking to you to find out why you changed. She's afraid of the answer most of the time, so she??ll just treat you the way you treat her, mimicking you until you start back how you were in the beginning. I'm older so I??ve learned those tactics don't work, ESPECIALLY not with a Cancer. Lol, it will make things worse. Libra??s are such great communicators but in love we often get scared on how the conversation may go if it's dealing with feelings. She may often shy away from a topic if she doesn't think she will come out on top at the end of the discussion, not cool but we all have our flaws.

Also @BlackIndian I have another question, my Cancer flew to visit me for Sweeties Day this past Saturday, it was our first date and first time meeting face to face. He seemed really into me, and things were very mushy and he kept telling me how he's been bragging about me to his friends, I told him how I bragged on him to my family and friends, which he seems to really love, says it makes him feel special. I let him know I'm genuinely interested in being his, and that I??d move wherever he needed me to if this got serious he seemed to blush and gave me lots of kisses. I want to know is it possible to gush over a cancer male too much? Like overdo it? I have a bad habit of falling back if I feel like I'm over doing things in the mushy department which has gotten me in trouble in the past, because that's when guys say I show no interest and act like I don't care. Mostly I'm confused, I know Cancers like constant reassurance of love and their partners feelings for them, but I don't want to overwhelm him. Is that possible?

@prettylady: HAHA! Thats how i was when i was younger lol. It might be why the Cancer i knew when i was 13 never wanted me as a girlfriend, he always said he did but was afraid if it didn't work we wouldn't have the excellent bond we do now. Crazy thing is it took me years to figure he was the one that would'nt be able to keep the bond because he'd probably still be hurt about it not working out. Once i've become one with why it didn't work i can be my ex's bestfriend, be mad cool with no emotions involved. As far as the disappearing i only disappeared on him if he did it to me. Fair is fair, do unto others as youd have them do unto you. Most of the time if a Libra disappears she simply doesn't like that person very much, or she feels they dont like her. We are not fake so smiling in your face knowing you dont like us the way we like you is a no go
