Cancer men are not spontaneous and do not act on a whim. After all, Cancer men value stability above all else, and he'll need some time to figure out if you're safe. But don't get it mixed up— Cancers are cautious, not irrational. When they see what they desire, they act immediately. This is why it's important to let them know exactly what you want before moving forward. Cancers prefer to proceed slowly in order to avoid any possible consequences. They will want to make sure that they understand you and your situation before jumping into anything serious. Although Cancers can be quick to love, they like to take their time about things too. You shouldn't expect them to wait forever though; as I mentioned before, they value stability highly so if you're not ready to settle down just yet, this might be something you have to accept.
