There is no man more introverted and shy than Cancer. Reserved and elegant, this man can charm women, and many will want to be with him.
There are a few things to keep in mind before you decide to try to make him yours. First of all, you should know that a deep emotional bond is necessary from the moment you meet.
This guy is known to be sensitive and emotional, so he needs someone who can understand this side of him. His lady needs to be down to earth and intelligent.
He is very attracted to class and mannerism. If you are also affectionate and feminine, he will fall in love with you immediately. But don't expect him to chase you. He is too shy and too afraid of rejection to initiate the chase.
So put on your most enchanting gifts and go for it. Loyalty is the most important thing to him. He wouldn't dream of being with a girl who is interested in someone else, or who is likely to cheat on him.
Your girl needs to support you, listen to your hopes and dreams, and encourage you to fulfil them. When you go out on a date with this guy, wear your most feminine perfume and light make-up. He likes women who look natural.
Don't look dramatic. Go for warm colours to make you feel comfortable. Wear some white gold or silver jewellery. Be prepared to open yourself completely to him. This means you will have to be available mentally, physically and emotionally.
The Cancer man is known to appreciate good food and wine, so if you like to cook, invite him to dine with you. He'll love it. Don't be afraid to talk about him. He likes to talk about his past and his views on life.
But make sure you don't keep things about yourself a secret. He or she is a good listener and will want to get to know you better. Talk about your families, what you were like at school and what you liked best in your childhood.
Keep in mind that there is nothing more important to this guy than family, so keep the conversation focused on this topic as much as possible. This will appeal to him more than professional topics.
Relaxed conversations are more likely to make you open up and enjoy the time we spend talking. Extended family and ideal holiday destinations are things he will always like to remember. The Cancer man is known to have the closest relationship with his mother, so taking an interest in this woman wouldn't hurt either.
If you want him to be yours forever, make sure you win over his mother first. Befriend this woman, and your Cancer lover will be convinced that you are the woman of his dreams. As he always needs to feel secure, he will always be careful with money.
He doesn't care that you are an independent woman who earns an honest living. So offer to pay your own way. He probably won't allow you to do so, as he is polite and well-mannered, but it will surely make him appreciate the fact that you are also mindful of what you spend.
Cancers are the most emotional of the zodiac. They have a tender heart and feel emotions more intensely than others. He may have a rough exterior, but inside he is a loving person.
And all this will be revealed to you in time. Accept him as he is, and he will always love you. Also be understanding of his mood swings.
Subtle messages and different flirting techniques that are not obvious do not work with this guy. He needs a woman to be open about her feelings for him. Don't make jokes, as he is very sensitive and may think you are trying to mess with him.
It may be difficult to get him to trust you, but in time you will convince him that you really want him in your life. As mentioned above, his mother is also someone who could help you a lot. Win her over and you will have your Cancer guy committed to you in no time. Take this woman shopping or on a spa day.
Find out about her childhood, and be interested in all kinds of memories from her school days. Also, be sure to mention the good relationship you have with your own mother. She will adore you for it.
Physical and sensitive to caresses, the Cancer man will like to be caressed. Hold his hand. Not only will he like to be touched, but he will be happy to have you both show your love to the world. Besides family, one of the things he appreciates most is his home. It is where he feels most secure, and where he can relax completely.
Organised, the Cancer man will want to have a clean and welcoming place. If you want to win his heart, offer to help him clean up on a Sunday. He'll be impressed by the fact that you're domestic too, and you'll see how much fun he can have when he's in his own environment.
The more familiar you are with him, the more attached he will feel to you. He won't even notice, and your relationship will be serious in no time.
He likes long-term commitments, and would not get involved in something that has no future. In fact, he often gets dumped for being too needy.
This romantic man can become dependent on you if you don't pay attention to the direction of the relationship. He wants a lover and companion more than anything else in the world.
Many women will not agree to get so serious with him. And he will suffer when he realises this. The Cancer man wants to date just to get to know the other person better, to see if he is kind and intelligent enough to fall in love.
The Cancer man is rather reserved. He does not like to share too much of his personal life. Avoid telling him what others have told you in confidence, or he will stop trusting you. Get to know him before you ask him anything personal.
As soon as he knows you are trustworthy and can keep a secret, he will open up. He's usually old-fashioned and wants to be the man in the relationship. So make sure you make him feel that way.
Respect him enough, and ask his advice whenever you think you have a problem. Get it right, and you'll have him in your life for a long time. If you don't mind letting him be the alpha, the one who calls the shots, adopt the role of submissive and you'll make him feel better about himself.
Attracting him may not be that easy, but keeping him is quite doable. If you are not yet in his life and you have to impress him, be pretty and make yourself available for more than just a one night stand.
Remember that he is looking for something serious. Make suggestions about a possible long-term commitment, don't just lure him into the bedroom.
Showing him that you are having fun in his presence is crucial. Don't be too aggressive in showing your interest, but don't be too slow either. Flirt openly and he will understand that something between you is possible.
