Just like any other individual, the Cancer man has his motivations, his personality and his unique character, but in his case, you should take into account the added complexity. Obviously, that makes it sometimes quite difficult to understand him, let alone read his feelings.
1) He can be shy and restless around you.
2) It becomes much easier to read and much more open.
3) It helps you even with the tasks you don't care about.
4) He sends you romantic emails.
5) It takes you for long walks.
6) Try to generate empathy between you.
7) Try to spend all the time in your company.
8) He surprises you with gifts and romantic dinners.
9) Expresses emotions freely.
10) He has a sensitive and romantic seduction style.
However, when it's real, there are some telltale signs that he likes you, which are derived from simple reactions from him.
For example, when the Cancer man begins to fall in love, he tends to be overprotective of his lover, and will try to take care of her in the strongest sense of the word.
It doesn't matter at all that the other can handle the task, and it doesn't mean that Cancer sees him as incapable. It is just their way of expressing their feelings of love and affection.
When you notice that the Cancer man is always around, doing everything he can to bond with you, obviously in an attempt to deepen the relationship, that is when you should understand that he is far out of the romantic zone.
The Cancer wants to give his all, to have a definitive and absolute experience with his partner, and although he is willing to sacrifice anything, he also has the same expectations.
Security, stability, the prospect of a future with great potential, understanding - these are the main conditions or, better still, the by-products of an effective relationship, from their point of view.
Even if he feels a bit unsure and hesitant to take that first step, he will eventually make up his mind after a while, when he has obviously observed and analysed you thoroughly.
It is quite obvious that this is a telltale sign of their interest, and if you notice this, it may be a good idea to be open to seduction, as it would greatly increase their confidence.
Cancer men are very romantic with the person they like. Expect a bouquet of flowers, a romantic dinner, unusual and deep compliments. Try to be open and appreciative of these little things, because a rejection will make them recoil instantly.
Try to imagine these men as a father taking care of his children, pampering them, teaching them right from wrong, the constant nagging and, ultimately, the deep love and affection involved.
This is exactly how they behave with their partners, with a very sensitive and tender attitude. They are very emotional and would prefer not to have a relationship at all, if they cannot fully express their feelings in the current one.
Why would you have to repress those feelings with someone who should be the closest person to you? That's counter-intuitive. And this man has plenty of emotions to talk about, very deep ones too.
In general, the Cancer man will always prefer to have a face-to-face conversation with you, whether it's about your future together, the plans you have to make to have a stable situation or simply the day-to-day events.
They don't really like to write you a huge block of text to tell you. If anything, they prefer to send you an email, which is the most likely form their messages will take, huge novels in which they will accurately describe everything from their emotions and impressions to the details of their morning awakening.
That's why they prefer to tell you all this in person, because they have a lot to say.
The Cancer man is someone who lives life on the edge of the possible, always experiencing the strongest and most intense feelings there are.
He will surprise you with his deep thoughts, and states of deep meditation, in which he will just talk endlessly about the purpose of life, and other philosophical topics. You may receive a text or two summarising his latest revelations. Be careful how you react because there is a fine balance before they take offence.
Then, the next moment, they are a puddle of mucus in your arms, suffering an emotional breakdown, waiting to bond with you on the most intimate of levels.
They are truly special individuals who deserve only the best, and life with them will be like a streak of lights in the sky, erratic, unpredictable, flashy and electrically lively.
This native needs to be fully aware of the implications of a relationship for him or her before committing to anything else. He needs to know that nothing unpredictable will happen, that the other will not abandon him at the first sign of danger, and that there is a bond of emotional empathy between the two of them.
Now, whether you can find out if this native has something more in mind than just a friendly relationship depends on your skills.
However, it is quite clear when it happens, because, as we have said before, this man tends to act in a very protective and paternal way towards those he loves.
What are the love implications of being a Water sign? Not many, apart from an infinite capacity to empathise, immensely deep emotions and feelings, a rather introverted and reclusive personality, to name a few aspects.
And yes, the Cancer man is one of those natives, which means he will be shy, hesitant and restless when he is around the one he loves. That is also a perfect way to know that he is interested in you.
Try to look him in the eye for a few seconds. He will immediately change his gaze, blush immediately and shrug his shoulders, just because he is not confident enough.
First of all, and rather strangely, check if there is a full Moon outside before you tell him that you just spent $500 on that bag you told him about last Friday. Why is the Moon relevant? Well, it seems that the Cancer man is quite sensitive to these things, and will change his attitude according to the movement of astrological celestial objects.
Don't go overboard spending money on everything you come across. Try to be a little practical and realistic, because Cancer men have a rather thrifty behaviour.
He is definitely not attracted by risk, and will instead try to act as cautiously and vigilantly as possible.
It's a good idea not to forget the little things, the details that you don't notice at first glance, because these things matter a lot to an emotionally sensitive Cancer.
Express your appreciation and affection for him on a daily basis, and try to notice if he has made any changes in himself.
Finally, don't forget to support them and be there for them when they are in a difficult situation.
This man needs emotional support, an anchor to hold him steady in the storms that life's challenges constantly unleash. That is what he wants most of all, to have someone who is there for him, a refuge from the harsh coldness of the outside world.
