What matters when dealing with Cancer men is to have the patience to wait long enough for them to open up and welcome you into their world, from a romantic perspective.
They are incredibly shy and quite afraid of being hurt, so these Water element natives will shut themselves away in a shelter of their own, until someone manages to open their airtight shell.
1) Use scents and light in romantic surprises.
2) Combine assertiveness with a little seductive shyness.
3) Cook him a meal and introduce him to your domestic space.
4) When you disagree, choose your words wisely.
5) Show her that you can stand up for yourself.
These natives will expect you to take the initiative and help them overcome their fears, to love them unconditionally, to offer them security, stability and, above all, constant affection. However, when they break their chains, they will become truly loving individuals.
This is a very difficult sign to approach, because the Cancer man tends to have a really sensitive personality. He is introverted, so make sure you don't go to great lengths to steal his heart, because he may feel threatened and block his heart immediately.
Be patient with him, take your time and tell him directly and without stylistic embellishments what you plan to do for him. Sometimes you will have to say it more than once, but make sure he understands.
Also, be careful of his needs, because he can be compared to a detective when it comes to finding love, so if he wants to have a relationship with you, that means you are his life partner.
As strange as it may sound, Cancerians are very close to their mothers, to the point where they could be called mama's boys. They care a lot about their family, and that's a good sign for people who want a future relationship to progress far beyond the boyfriend-girlfriend stage.
So, if you want to impress these natives, you can drop a hint about your own mother, about how the relationship between the two of you couldn't be better.
This will make them form a different perspective on you, and it will be quite good. Also, those who want to approach them, as if they were really close, should consider asking about their mothers as well. It is something they will remember that you have done.
This zodiac sign loves food without a doubt, and even more, they love cooked food, so if you tell them that the best skill you have is cooking, or that you love spending time in the kitchen, Cancer will be fascinated.
To compete for the heart of a Cancer man, you have to be a homebody, and that means that cleaning must be a priority for you, and you have to do it regularly, because he loves to stay at home and clean in his spare time, thinking that it is a relaxing and enjoyable activity.
And, in fact, it should be a relaxing activity, or at least something your partner does without too much hassle, because it will offer great rewards for doing it.
These natives are very emotional and have many feelings hidden in their big heart, feelings that are very complex, deep, and to which they attach great importance.
It would be a shame for them to overlook these emotions, to do something that goes against their own nature. Therefore, if they were to have a conversation with people who pretend, or lie, or who prefer not to show their true face, it would quickly drain them of all their energy.
They like people who are direct, natural, honest and who say exactly what they think, at the exact moment they feel the need to do so.
These natives are also very affectionate and compassionate to all those around them, so indifferent people would not fit their criteria at all.
This sign is incredibly fascinated by the historical beliefs of their family past. Therefore, he respects them more than anything else, and wants to apply a traditional life to himself. Therefore, he cannot admit to spending his future with a non-believer or an exhibitionist woman. He is a true romantic man and a real food lover, so he will combine these two characteristics when he meets his love.
That's why you should expect him to take you out for long dinners, moonlit walks or to a fancy restaurant. Also, if you want to impress him, you don't need to buy him expensive gifts. A simple meal in your home is enough to make his love for you grow.
You know you are working with a very traditional man, so if you only want a one-night stand with him, you might as well give up. He is looking for a strong, peaceful and happy marriage that offers him a rich and rewarding life.
Don't play with them and don't try to hurt them, they will smell your intention and take revenge.
If you want to live a beautiful life with a Cancer, respect their feelings and beliefs, and don't try to get rid of those possessions that have sentimental value to them. Even if they are useless, it is better to ask first, because they may have great nostalgic value for them.
Cancers are not the most sociable people of the zodiac, and in fact the opposite is true. They are certainly not very fond of parties or large social gatherings, and if they have to go to them, they are of the traditional type.
Sober, simple, dignified, that's how they prefer their partners if they really have to attend such events, so if you had in mind to try on that new mini skirt or sleeveless shirt, you'd better think again.
In general, however, they prefer to avoid these things altogether, because staying at home, reading a book or watching a movie with their loved ones, will always be a better solution than having to traverse the social boulevards of the world.
The point here is not that Cancers are very difficult to seduce, or that they have high expectations that must be met before looking at a potential partner, but that you must be perfectly aware of what you are signing up for.
Although they may play hard to get, because it is in their nature to be cautious and self-conscious, when they manage to let go of those worries and come to trust someone unconditionally, then they release all their deep emotions.
And those emotions are very complex, intense, passionate and perfectly reflect his inner self. It's going to be a three-way relationship, as his mother is going to play an important role in it, but it's going to work out in the end.
The Cancer man is very grumpy and gets annoyed if he is criticised. He has a very big ego, so you have to choose your words very carefully.
If you defend him, don't think that he will change, or that he will be aware of his wrongdoings. No, he will think that you have found a reason to make him feel bad, and he will take revenge for it.
You have to expect him to remember those words, even years after he has said them, because he is very stubborn and has a long memory.
