Cancer man confusing me (I’m an Aries woman)

He’s interested, but intimidated. His insecurity will prevail and so interest means absolutely nothing. What good is interest if you can’t advance it?

I had this exact same thing happen to me and like you, I was confused as to why he was initiating by asking me out when he had no intentions of carrying them forward. I eventually cussed him off for his egocentricity. That was the end of that douchebaggery.
