The Cancer Man - A Dating Guide


   


photoDATING A CANCER MAN - WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW!

Dating a Cancer man? Then prepare to meet the family! Mother, Father, Great Uncle Walter – or maybe just the pet pooch. What you have to realize is it’s not just him you’re dating, but also his entire tribe. Welcome to the biggest homebody of the Zodiac and the most domesticated of all the Star Signs.

WHAT IS A CANCER MAN LIKE TO DATE?

Ruled by the Moon – the symbol of motherhood – Cancerians of both genders possess a powerful caring and nurturing instinct. Once you’re ‘in’ with Cancer, it’s the sign most likely to cook you a meal like Granny used to make, kiss it better when it hurts, and generally take you under its wing. And that applies not only to the women, but to the guys too!

Does this mean dating a Cancer man can make you feel a bit smothered at times? Well, if you hate people constantly clucking round you, you may have a few difficulties adjusting to this Star Sign. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a surrogate mother and have a strong need for love and belonging, you’ll get a lot out of dating a Cancer man.


Because he's born under a WATER sign, this man is a sensitive, cautious creature who relates to the world primarily at an emotional level and can sometimes be hard to coax out of his shell. Because he tends to guard his privacy fiercely, it takes a while to break down his natural inhibitions and win his trust and respect.




WHAT TO DO ON A DATE WITH A CANCER MAN

Cosy stay-in dates tend to suit the Cancer man best, and preferably at his place rather than yours. Often a bit insecure when he finds himself on unfamiliar ground, he feels more confident and empowered in his own surroundings. It also gives him a chance to cook for you, which is one of the things he likes best. The moment a Cancer man invites you home, you know you've made it! Territorial by nature, he's quite particular about who he lets let into his nest.

Don't try to initiate sex on a first date with a Cancer man. Since men born under the sign of Crab take a cautious, old-fashioned approach to dating, a quick fling isn’t usually their scene. Traditionalists at heart, with an inbuilt respect for what has gone before, they like to take love slow and steady and establish a strong emotional connection with you before jumping into bed.

THE PROS AND CONS OF DATING A CANCER MAN

As a date, a Cancer man's strong points lie in his deeply caring approach, his sweet sentimentality, and his ability to empathize with your feelings like few other men can. Of course, he also has his weak points! Male Crabs are big hoarders and find it hard to let go of belongings they’ve had in their life for a long while. This possessiveness can also extend to dates and lovers they’ve gotten attached to, which means they can sometimes get rather clingy when a relationship threatens to come to an end.
