All opinions welcome, but especially those familiar with astrology and women of this zodiac sign in particular.
But I'm a 32 year old cancer male. Particularly strong characteristics minus the insecurity. At least for a long time now in my life. When I'm single I go through a lot of different women, but when I find one that I think could be "the one", she gets my 200% and lose interest in other women.
About 3 weeks ago I met a taurus girl who has really managed to get herself stuck in my head. This woman is drop dead gorgeous, she's an acttual national champ fitness model, could have probably any man in the world she wants. Total random, chance encounter, and it was pretty awesome how well we hit it off! Literally into almost all the same damn stuff, the conversation never dulled... she spent the night at my house the first night and we slept in my bed, but nothing happened. She just fell asleep in my arms.
We both agreed we had a good time, and were gonna hang out again the next night, texted lightly throughout the day.. she even text me when she got home saying she would have to come a little later and if that's ok, i said sure... and never heard back from her.
A day or two later I text her asking her what happened and she said her dad who lives in another state had a heart attack and she had to leave town. So I offered a normal condolence and kinda backed off a little.
I would text her asking her simple questions, and it would always take like a day or two for her to hit me back. Usually brief answers. I was starting to wonder if maybe she just only really looked at me as more of a friend than someone she takes serious. Then one day, she randomly texted me a pretty sexy but appropriate picture of her. I texted her a few back. No comment from her lol.
This kinda stuff goes back and forth over a few days.
Then one day she randomly asks me if I wanna come over and just sent her address, talked to her and went over.
Hung out the next night for a few hours and again had a real good time in each others company. She was finishing up working out and wearing incredibly revealing workout clothes. Made a couple comments about sex, her anatomy and her masturbation habits. No real comments or compliments about me, attraction, etc. This time when I left, she reached out to give me a hug goodbye. The first time, she would have left without giving me one if I didn't initiate it. We planned on hanging out the next day after she got off work.
The next day, she ended up getting caught up in a bunch of stuff, called me back, were playing phone tag, finally called her one last time... and she asked me if I wanted to come over "for a little bit".... which ended up being until 7am! Again, had a great time, she clearly enjoyed my company but no compliments (I'm just used to girls totally melting for me) or signals that she wants me real close to her. We end making a late night drive to the store to make dinner together, and had a lot of fun cooking at her house. By the time she started falling asleep, I got a little ballsy, told her I was gonna give her a kiss goodnight and left.
2 nights later, she texted me saying she was about to have a breakdown bc she was stuck at the mall with her son with no gas and there some issue with one of her cc's and she didn't know what to do. I called her and offered to come get them and help them just to be nice, wasn't expecting to hang out with her, but she invited me over after I did.
Once we got to her house, her whole tune towards me changed. She started being very affectionate immediately, leaning into me wanting me to hug her, putting her head on my shoulders. Called me "babe' a couple times. Then we get in her room and she goes over and sits on her bed. We were smoking, so I followed her over but didn't sit too close. Finally, she tells me to come over and lay next to her and hold her! She gets up, gets under the covers... and then tells me to join her. Starts being all cuddly with me but maintaining normal conversation.
I like taking things so slow, so before it really got to the point where we were kissing... her kid knocks on the door and makes an excuse to hang out. I actually get along really well with her son and actually have a good time being around both of them, and I can tell he thinks I'm cool. He made one interesting comment and said we both must be high because we look so happy.
At one point we were alone in her room, she needed to change and just completely naked right in front of me! My jaw kinda dropped and I told her she looks amazing. She giggled a bit and that was that.
All night we both kept mentioning and coming up with the things we want to do together. She was showing me all these diff ways she wanted to do her house up... she also said she wants me to go with her to go on a scuba diving trip... in December.
Same thing, she cooked me dinner again with a little help from me, she had to be up early and needed to sleep but we both slept together in her bed with her falling asleep cuddled up next to me. Nothing sexual happened, though she was letting my hands wander a bit.
Next morning, gave each other a big hug and I left. She said she had to fly back home again this week t osee her dad, said she would be back for Halloween.
It's been a few days, and only get like on 1-2 texts from her a day. Asked her if she wanted to get dressed up to go out for Halloween to let me know if I should get a costume... no reply. Said hi back to another text, asked her again... no reply.
I know her dad is dying and was only given 2-10 weeks to live, so I'm not blowing her up with texts... but it just ****s with my head that these things happen when we're together, and if we don't see each other for a day... it's like she doesn't even give a rats ass. Like, I hardly text her to give her her space, but even when i do it feels like I'm some kind of annoyance....
..then we see each other, and everything is great and consistently progressing.
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is, how persistent do I be with this girl given that she's also juggling a dying parent, a 13 year old son, and crazy work schedule?
Should I just let her get back to me when she gets back to me... or should i be a bit more aggressive about getting in touch with her and finding ways to hang out? The thing is, she doesn't always share her logistics of when she's gotta be doing what and I don't wanna pry into her life like that, so I don't know if she's in or out of town, if her dad's health got even worse, he died, etc.
She says she has ADD and gets easily distracted, has told me I don't bother when I text her... is this just a confusing game of hard to get?
Is it ok to be more persistent about getting in touch with her and asking her to hang out, or is she testing me to see if I'm clingy/needy? Do taurus women expect/like a guy to have to hound them a bit to kick it...
So weird.

I get that with her dad dying, that's just a flat out higher priority than spending time with a guy you've been seeing that's really going well... it's just the complete forgetfulness and inconsideration of at least having that person on your mind or time for a simple answer.
Also... given that it's a bit random when I do see her, and the direction things are headed with us... is it way too soon and super bad timing to kinda put our chemistry into perspective and ask her to be my gf?
I mean... she was the one that asked me to go on vacation with her in December, and we've talked about making all these other short term "plans", and different things we're gonna cook together, etc.
I don't mind things going slow and taking my time with her... it's just like this complicated, agonizing game of guessing what exactly she wants from me when we spend this great time together, get closer and closer... and then it seems like I'm out of sight, out of mind.
