How To Attract a Cancer Man

Among the water elements shines the sensitive, kind, and nurturing Cancer. As the element itself, the Cancer’s emotions tend to come and go like waves. This sign is often described as one of the most sensitive, and with a good reason.

Despite being shy, he is charming and protective as well, and once he comes out of his shell, he is a true gentleman who is ready to settle down and start a family. But how do you attract such a delicate man? 

What attracts a Cancer man

A Cancer man values authenticity and femininity. He is drawn to classical beauty and a polished appearance. Aim for elegance and exude an inviting energy. Make sure that he sees your graceful and gentle nature. Be a sincere and good listener. This sign is hard to crack open, but once he feels emotionally secure in your company, he will reveal his hidden sensitivity to you. Listen to him and engage with him in fascinating conversations.

The cardinal Moon-ruled Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. The expression originates from the Greek “Karkinos” word, meaning “crab.” Its roots lean back to the ancient Greek myth of Heracles, and the time when he battled with the Hydra and got pinched by a crab, which he subsequently crashed, thus killing the creature. Following this, Hera placed the crab in the sky, creating the constellation. The sign itself is often linked to traits such as moodiness, sentimentalism, and loyalty.

A Cancer man is vastly described as stubborn as well due to his lack of ability to forgive in case having been hurt before intensely.

Attracting this gentle soul might not be as difficult of a challenge as in the case of the air signs. However, it is indeed a noteworthy task. There are a few tips and tricks that might help your chances of getting noticed by this gentleman.

Physically

Go for a smart and feminine look. In Cancer’s case, the boldest makeup and clothes might not be the best approach. He is more likely to be attracted to a natural, clean aesthetic and a natural color palette. He is drawn to warmth and care, two aspects that should be considered when on a journey to win him over.

Try radiating a nurturing and gentle character to be noticed by him even in a crowd of people. You don’t have to be conservative, as this is not what he specifically desires, but a rather elegant and feminine appearance.

Emotionally

This man’s emotional needs are quite simple, actually: honesty and compassion. A Cancer seeks constant reassurance and a sense of comfort, so creating an environment in which he feels at ease might just strike up your chances. He is an old soul, meaning that he is family-oriented and dependable. Being a gentleman, he constantly wants to help those in need, so showing him your vulnerable side might be a good approach!

This way, he is going to seek comfort in you, and he will see that you are comfortable in his embrace as well. Once he becomes curious about you, he wants to get closer. When this happens, don’t play games with him, rather just let him win you over. This man appreciated honesty, so be sincere about your intentions.

Deceiving him in any way might lead to resentment as he is one to hold grudges, and if hurt, he is not likely to forgive you. Keep in mind that if he’s interested, he will take you seriously and wants mutual respect. At first, as the symbol itself, it might be hard on the outside, but deep inside, he is the most sensitive gentleman you have ever met.

Open communication and reminiscing are the keys to trust and better understanding of each other. If you want to take him on a date, remember that he likes being at home and might not be as fond of an adventure as some other signs of the zodiac. It doesn’t mean that he cannot be challenged, of course. He just needs to be able to process the change.

At first, try cozy date nights, like Netflix and chill, playing board games, sitting at home with a cup of hot tea, or going on a picnic. His memory is impeccable, and he can memorize even the smallest details, creating a memorable experience with key importance.

4 Signs a Cancer man is attracted to you

Being deeply sensitive, a Cancer man can show specific signs of his attraction towards you. Understanding these signs can pave the way for a deeper emotional connection. 

1. Opens up emotionally

A Cancer doesn’t share his emotions with a lot of people. He usually keeps his feelings bottled up, and therefore, if he does open up to you, he means that he feels comfortable and safe in your company. Whether he is telling you about a childhood memory or sharing his doubts, he most probably likes you. Be a good listener, react and respond sincerely, and be attentive to what he is saying. This way, he is surely going to fall for you.

2. Makes you feel wanted

When a Cancer loves you, he makes you feel wanted and valued. Making you feel safe is a priority for him, and he will do everything in his power to ensure your well-being. He will observe even the smallest detail of what you say and is going to make you happy. He will look out for you constantly, so you have nothing to worry about when this man loves you.

3. Treats you like a princess

This sign is the ultimate gentleman, so he will ensure that you don’t ever have to worry about opening the door for yourself or going home alone in the dark. He will be there for you like a hero in a cape and will serve and protect you at all costs.

4. Introduces you to friends and family

As said before, a cancer man’s paradise is being at home. If he is introducing you to his friends and family, he is all over for you. Being shy, he does not like being embarrassed at all, and he would not invite you to his family’s home for sure if he thought that there was a chance for embarrassment. But once you’re invited, it means that he wants you to be close not only to him but even to those who are the closest to him. 

What kind of women do Cancer men like?

They are usually attracted to those who emit warmth, kindness, femininity, and security. He takes loyalty, trust, and commitment seriously. As a family-oriented man, he is dependable and tries to achieve security and safety in his home. He respects his partner but expects her to give him the same respect.

As shy as he is, he needs constant reassurance and encouragement, so a woman who can fulfill this dream of his might just be the one for him.
