Sounds like the perfect man, huh? Before you drag out your Crab pot, you need to hear the rest of the story. Cancer men are emotional. They're ruled by the moon, and as the moon goes through frequent changes, so do the Cancerian's emotions. He demands complete and utter love and devotion, and he won't like sharing too much of your attention with friends, work, hobbies, or anything else that takes time away from him. You might find Cancer to be jealous and controlling. He's a hard worker, and he'll expect the same from you. He's also a homebody, so if you're a party girl, you're wasting your time on a Cancer dude. Some signs find Cancer too needy, too clingy, brooding, and boring.
Finding and Keeping a Cancer Man
If you're interested in meeting a Cancer guy, frequent places that attract him. Because of Cancer's creativity and appreciation for beauty, they often attend art exhibits, galleries, and museums. Arts and crafts supply stores are another good bet. You might also find one at a home improvement store, since they love the idea of making a comfortable and attractive home.
Oftentimes with a Cancerian man, you'll have to make the first move because they have such a fear of rejection. Show him that you care about the same things he does – home, family, beauty, and romance. Don't come on too strong, but be somewhat aggressive in your pursuit. He needs to know that you're really interested in him before he responds!
The Cancer man likes femininity, so wear a flirty dress and floral perfume on your dates. Also, cook for him. One of the ways to a Cancer dude's heart is definitely through his stomach! Let him notice your homemaking skills, and above all, never try to make him jealous – this will cause him to retreat into his protective zone, and once that happens, you'll find it all but impossible to lure him out again.
If the relationship leads to marriage, be a wife in whom he has absolute trust. Make your home a safe, cozy haven from the outside world, filled with sentimental mementos, works of art, and comfortable yet stylish furniture. Pamper him sometimes with candlelit dinners, bubble baths, and massages, and compliment him often. Your emotional support and approval will be very important to your Cancerian husband, so always make sure he knows you're "in his corner."
Compatibility with Other Zodiac Signs
Aries
The Aries woman and Cancer man have opposite personalities, and in this case, that's not a good thing. The Ram is sporadic and spontaneous, while the Crab is thoughtful and prefers to take his time. Aries is outgoing and adventurous and would feel that Cancer is far too controlling and clinging. Another problem is the ram's temper – it's just too much for gentle Cancer.Taurus
The Taurus woman and the Crab make a great match. Both signs are warm, loving, and loyal, and the Bull will supply the emotional and financial security that Cancer needs. The Crab and the Bull will work together as a team to achieve like-minded goals and have an excellent chance of creating a comfortable home and a loving family.Gemini
The Gemini woman is far too logical for emotional Cancer, and the Twin's independent nature would threaten the Crab's need for stability. The Twins are like quicksilver – flighty and unpredictable, and this is often just too much for the Crab to take in. Also, Gemini is often somewhat of a flirt, and Cancer would have a hard time dealing with this.Cancer
A Cancerian woman living in the same household with male Crab will usually be either blissful or terrible! They'll understand each other's emotional needs, and together they'll make a warm and loving home. Problems arise, however, when both partners are in one of their inherent moody stages at the same time, since neither will be willing or able to cheer the other up.Leo
The differences in Cancer and the Leo woman often work in favor of a strong relationship. The Crab loves showering his mate with praise and attention, and the Lion gobbles these up hungrily. The Cancerian man has no problem allowing his leonine partner all the time in the proverbial spotlight.Virgo
This union is difficult but not impossible. A Virgo woman is much too practical to ever understand Cancer's emotional approach to everything, and the constant criticism from the Virgin will hurt the Crab's tender feelings. On the positive side, both signs love their "creature comforts" and have a strong work ethic.Libra
This usually is not a good match. The Libra woman is often a "party girl," while Cancer had much rather spend time at home. The Crab is a penny-pincher, too, while the Scales lady is often a spendthrift with extravagant tastes. Libra loves positive energy, so she would have a real problem when the Crab was being, well, Crabby.Scorpio
This is often a match made in Heaven! Although the Scorpio woman and Cancer man have very different personalities, they complement each other well. The jealous nature of the Scorpion would be soothed by the Crab's total devotion, and both would seek to establish a harmonious family and home.Sagittarius
The Archer and the Crab are seldom compatible. A Sagittarius woman is a reckless daredevil who thrives on adventure, while Cancer is a careful, cautious homebody. Also, many Archers are incredibly blunt, which will hurt the Crab's feelings. Sagittarius will likely feel suffocated by Cancer's emotional needs, and there will be lots of arguments over the archer's spending habits.Capricorn
This is an "iffy" relationship, at best. While Cancer will love the security and stability that the Capricorn woman will provide, the Crab will hate Capricorn's seeming lack of emotions, and the Goat will often think that the Crab isn't ambitious enough for her. Practical Capricorn will also have a hard time with Cancer's mood swings.Aquarius
This is not a good match. Cancer is much too clingy for the aloof Aquarius woman, and the two share few of the same life goals. While the Crab is ruled by emotion, the Water-bearer is ruled by intellect. The Water-bearer's need for adventure often frightens the cautious Crab, while she often finds the Cancerian man dull and boring.Pisces
This match is usually very good for both partners. Both signs are emotional and compassionate, so they'll understand each other and there should be few clashes. The Pisces woman is generally upbeat, so The Fish will provide positive juxtaposition to Cancer's moodiness and will often be able to predict her partner's mood swings with amazing accuracy.Where to Find Help
When it comes to love, dealing with a Cancer man is tricky. The Crab will often retreat into that hard shell of his as a protective mechanism any time he feels threatened, and once that happens, it's difficult to coax him back out into the open. You'll need some professional help with this one!
