As far as the cancer guy I'm 'interested' in goes: whatever happened, happened. Although he said to me on the night (and I totally agree with you on "listen to what they say to you, they tell you from the very beginning") he didn't want more, his actions and the way he treated me that night and after showed me he was at least a good person who may be worth pursuing as a friend. We all want good people in our lives, and although I fully comprehend he is just a normal guy who enjoys playing the field, there is a separate side to him which showed through, and I want to get to know THAT guy -- as a friend. I told him the very next day he didn't have to worry about me wanting anything emotional from him because of my commitment issues, I did tell him I very much needed friends as I am new in this city and he seemed like someone who would make a good friend and that I wanted to get to know him more for that. His answer was that "friendship is what matters anyway".
So now, I ask again: he has been quiet and I have extended invitations and he has declined for valid reasons. He is friendly to me when I get in contact with him and seems very much open to being friends, but he just doesn't initiate contact. Should I let go of my pursuit in establishing a 'friend relationship' with him or sit tight?
If he's a typical cancer, maybe he's sussing it out silently from all angles like they are famous for. Just to make sure I'm not trying to creep my way into emotional stuff or whatever...
