Pisces woman confused by mixed signal cancer man

I guess you're going to have to take a chance with this guy, that's the only way you'll know. I personally don't care for 2nd hand information about a man's character b/c truthfully no one actually know how he is one on one in an intimate relationship, maybe he is shy or maybe he pretends to be shy when it suits him.
I'll admit I'm bias, I'd rather gnaw my own leg off before dating a cancer man, too much work, too high maintenance and they string there women along for long amounts of time with no contact, that would drive me bonkers but there's somebody for everyone I guess.
I still feel this guy has commitment issues by the way you describe your interactions with him but hey it is what it is...
Good luck smile
