No strings sex with a Cancer man

(Newark, NewJersey)

I met this Cancer man. He told me that he wasn't looking for a relationship and just wanted sex. I was happy to oblige because I thought that he was extremely sexy. I didn't want a relationship either. I assumed we were on the same path. But then I slowly realized that he was trying to push it in the 'relationship' direction, and boy did he come on strong. He started telling me that I needed to stop making excuses and start spending more time with him. I needed to meet his peoples, family, and include him in my life. Yeah right. He was domineering, trying to navigate how I did things, he talked about his past relationships and how women were not to be trusted. He also told me that in the past he stalked his ex-girlfriends, too, but tried to sugar-coat it and made it seem validated. Relationship-material? No. FWB? Yes!

I declined all offers. I put all his flaws on the table. I'm not tactful at all! He became hyper-sensitive. He went into his shell. So I simply ignored him when he refused to answer my calls. Then out of the blue, he calls me and asked me "Why haven't you called me?"...What happened to us?" Us? I told him there was never an 'Us.' We had a few dates only. (which I thought was going to eventually lead to sex)But I did not want to hurt his feelings in case he decided to shell up again. So I tried to be quiet and gave him an elusive response. "Things happen, it's just one of those things." I still wanted to have sex with him. (believe it or not, we never got around to it). It didn't work. He's an incredible kisser, and just makes me wet. I know he will be incredible in the sack. I asked him directly and told him I wanted to sleep with him. He declined...and then told me he has found someone else. Well, here goes to no sex.
My question. Do Cancers have a problem with no-strings attached sex? Can they separate sex and intimacy?
