Okay, so you wanna know if ignoring a Cancer man will make him come crawling back? I tried it. Here’s the lowdown on my experiment.
Phase 1: The Setup (Accidental Ignorance?)
- It wasn’t even intentional at first, okay? I was swamped with work, seriously swamped. Texts went unanswered, calls went to voicemail. The usual.
- He’s a Cancer, right? So, naturally, he noticed. Immediately. I’m talkin’ within hours.
Phase 2: The Reaction (Initial Confusion)
- First, came the “Are you okay?” texts. Pretty standard. Caring, concerned. Textbook Cancer stuff.
- Then, the calls started becoming more frequent. Like, three times a day frequent. Missed most of ’em.
Phase 3: The “Why Are You Ignoring Me?” Phase (Emotional Turmoil)
- This is where it got interesting. The texts shifted. Went from concerned to… almost accusatory. Like, “Did I do something wrong?” “Why aren’t you talking to me?”
- I finally replied, just a quick “Hey, super busy, will call later.” Lied. But had to do something.
Phase 4: The Withdrawal (Oh, the Drama!)
- Radio silence. Complete radio silence. And that’s when I started thinking, “Okay, maybe I screwed up.”
- He pulled back HARD. No texts, no calls, nothing. This is where my experiment, uh, “officially” started, I guess. I decided to see how long he’d stay silent.
Phase 5: The “Did He Forget Me?” Panic (My Own Insecurity)
- Days turned into a week. I started getting that little pang of “Oh crap, did I actually lose him?” We’d been seeing each other for a few months, it wasn’t nothing.
- I considered reaching out. Almost did a few times. But I resisted. For science! (And maybe a little bit of stubbornness.)
Phase 6: The Return (The Grand Gesture… Sort Of)
- About ten days in, BAM. A text. “Thinking of you. Hope things are less crazy.”
- Simple, right? But it was HIM. He broke the silence.
- We talked. I apologized for being MIA. He admitted he was hurt. Classic Cancer vulnerability.
So, Will Ignoring a Cancer Man Make Him Come Back?
- Here’s the thing: it’s not that simple. Ignoring him got his attention, for sure. It triggered his insecurities, made him wonder what he did wrong.
- But it’s a risky game. If you ignore him for TOO long, he might just decide you’re not worth the effort and move on. Cancer men are sensitive. They need reassurance.
- In my case, he did come back. But I think it was a combination of things: the initial attraction, the established connection, and the fact that I eventually acknowledged him (even if it took a while).
The Verdict:
- Don’t intentionally ignore him. It’s manipulative and can backfire.
- If you are genuinely busy, communicate that. Honesty is key.
- If he’s pulling away, a little bit of space might make him miss you. But don’t overdo it.
- Ultimately, treat him with respect and kindness. Cancer men are loyal and loving partners, but they need to feel safe and secure in the relationship. Play games and you’ll probably lose.
That’s my two cents. Worked for me… this time. Your mileage may vary!
