O goodness gracious what do I do with this cancer guy?

Well you see there's this guy whom I once and kind of still am in a great infatuation with. Everything was simply wonderful for the both of us we were growing very fond of eachother until that is my ex intruded telling him all this nonsense about me and well yet and the fact that was a lot of baggage to top it all off were 3 1/2 years a part it may not seem like it but our age group it is. |: anyways he texted me and we lead into a somewhat of a conversation and I couldn't help but grow those feelings I had once more. Idk I just want him back is there any tips you'd suggest for me to capture his heart once more? He is a cancer and I already do comfort him with deep soothing words but I want to do something more. Its not for desperation but when we did have time to eachother you could feel the chemistry.
