In this article: Courting a Cancer Maintain the romantic relationship Related articles

Cancer men are probably the most complex members of the zodiac family. Shy and reserved, a Cancer man will only be attracted to you if you know how to elbow your way into his life.

On the other hand, many Cancer men appreciate women who take care of what is usually the man's job in a romantic relationship. You should therefore accept to take the reins if you want a relationship that lasts.

1. Be super feminine. Most Cancer men are attracted to very feminine women on a very traditional level. A Cancer man will subconsciously seek out a woman who matches his image as the ideal wife and mother. Everything about your appearance and your gestures should radiate femininity.

• Slip into a sultry and glamorous outfit before approaching her, something like a dress that highlights your curves in all the right places. A classic floral scent, like rose or jasmine, can also create a very feminine vibe around you.

• Don't confuse him with just another guy. Ditch the dirty jokes and overly caustic remarks. Instead, you should have a soft, compassionate voice. Don't act like a tomboy when you're with him.

2. Show off your housekeeping skills. When you know him a little better, take the initiative to show him your talents to maintain your interior in a very traditional way. One of the easiest ways to do this is to cook. Prepare him a meal or a dessert or invite him to help you cook a rather elaborate dish.

• Keep in mind, however, that the Cancer man is a little reserved and might resist you if he thinks you are going too fast. You'll end up scaring him off if you invite him to dinner at your house the first night you meet. Wait until you've already bonded with him before inviting him into your home.

3. Emphasize your attraction to family life. You should talk about your deep affection for your family as well as your dream of getting married and starting your own family. Cancer men usually aspire to have children one day, so it will benefit you considerably if your dreams are in line with his.

• When you talk about your family, emphasize the role played by your mother. Talk about everything your mom taught you or the time you spend with her. Cancer is a classic mum's darling and you can bond more easily with him if you are able to show him that you love your mother at least as much as he adores his.

• In addition to your discussions of your mother, bring up pleasant family memories and touching fragments of your childhood.

4. Connect with people close to him. Your Cancer man will likely be very close to his family, as long as the ties are still strong. The sooner you get to know his family, the sooner you can attract him as a potential partner.

• We repeat, the Cancer man tends to be his mom's favorite. You can quickly find favor in his eyes if you can meet his mother and get along with her.

• It's likely that it wasn't his fault that he didn't have a good relationship with his family when he was growing up. A Cancer man who has not received affection from his family will likely view his circle of friends as a surrogate family. In that case, you better get on well with his friends. Focus on her friends instead, as you may hurt her affection for you if you get too comfortable with her male friends.

5. Talk about his family in a positive tone. Invite him to talk about his family and bring other topics of conversation to that of the family as often as possible. Always do it in a positive way and avoid anything that might be offensive to those he loves.

• You can, for example, mention the fact that he looks a lot like his mother if you have met her.

• You should also try to compliment him on his relationship with his siblings, or that one of his family members might like the band, restaurant, movie, or book you're talking about.

1. Always look neat and neat. Cancer men are quite neat and meticulous. This is why they will be more readily attracted by women who are just as careful as them and not by those who are neglected. Everything you show the Cancer man must be impeccable. Even if you can't reach its level of meticulousness, you should make a big effort to get close to it.

• In other words, don't invite him over if your office is cluttered with papers or your apartment is littered with dirty laundry. You don't have to label everything or store everything neatly, but you'll score a point by keeping the interior fairly clean and tidy.

2. Ask Him to help you put your house in order. Talk to him before he finds out on his own if you have a bit of a mess and ask him to help you tidy up. This cry for help has three benefits: you make her feel important, you appeal to her natural love for order, and you show a willingness to make less of a mess and be more organized.

3. Avoid any form of spontaneity. It's okay to surprise her romantically once in a while, but you should generally avoid making out-of-the-box suggestions or demanding something without warning. Cancer boys appreciate keeping order in all areas of their lives. This includes both physical space and more temporal aspects.

1. Ask him for help. Cancers enjoy taking on the traditionally male role of protecting and providing for their own. Give him the opportunity to care for you by asking him for help. This mission does not have to be capital, but it is useful that you choose a task in which your Cancer man excels so that he can complete it perfectly.

• Ask him for help when you move or when you want to choose a new car. Find less spectacular opportunities, if nothing like this comes your way. Ask him, for example, his opinion about a dilemma you have at work, even if you have already solved the problem yourself.

2. Respond to his need for affection. Although the Cancer man generally appreciates assuming his classic male role, he is also very sensitive to his emotions. He craves love, so you shouldn't be afraid to shower him with affection. The more affection you show, the more your Cancer man is likely to respond favorably.

3. Compliment him. Have a kind word about his looks, skills, or what inspires you. Compliments put your Cancer at ease, and he may appreciate a woman who knows how to give him the thrill that you can give him by telling him what a wonderful man he is.

• Be sure to give her sincere and subtle compliments. If a Cancer man suspects you of flattery, he may be uncomfortable and walk away from you.

4. Share your feelings. As Cancer men tend to be very emotional, they also tend to be attracted to women who know how to express their emotions, if not more. Plus, you can let him know that you really want him in your life by showing him your own willingness to express your emotions to him.

• Remember that Cancerians tend to be quite hesitant. The fastest way to establish some form of emotional safety with your Cancer crush is to invest yourself emotionally first.

5. Try not to contradict him. Everyone can be wrong sometimes and the Cancer man is no exception. That said, as Cancers have very emotional reactions, they tend to lash out at others when they have been contradicted or reprimanded a little harshly.

• Be tactful and try to be persuasive, if you need to take it back. Only rely on facts when you want to win your case and never do so out of emotion or out of anger.

• Likewise, don't retaliate when he gets angry or upset. Wait until he has calmed down on his own, rather than forcing him to adopt a more composed countenance.

1. Stay visible to him. Most of the time, a Cancer man doesn't fall for someone instantly. You should get into his line of sight on a fairly regular basis before he begins to appreciate your presence.

2. Take the first step. Cancerians tend to be quite shy. So you should muster up your courage to tackle it first. It is essential that you do it without aggressiveness. Introduce yourself and make a lasting impression on him, but never force his hand or force your way into his intimate sphere, especially if he seems uncomfortable.

• You should be sure of yourself, but not too directly. This is about showing perseverance. Show him you're really interested in him by always making the effort to approach him. A Cancer man can be insecure at times, but once you ease his insecurities and show him that your interest is real and lasting, he may be comfortable enough to return your attraction and affection for him.

3. Never confide your feelings directly to him. Dealing with a Cancer man can be incredibly complex and it can test your patience. Since he wants to take on the traditional male role in a romantic relationship, he'll probably want to confess his feelings first and may find you less attractive if you do so first. On the other hand, you should make it very clear to him that there is no reason to doubt your attraction to him.

4. Listen. Cancer men are usually attracted to women who share their feelings, but you'll be even more attractive if you're willing to really listen to everything he says. He needs to open up at his own pace and might do it quite slowly, but you should be a reliable presence for him every step of the way if you want to be a truly attractive woman in his eyes.

• You should let him know from time to time that you are listening carefully to what he is saying. Remember his birthday and all the important dates he told you about. Ask him about what happened at work after the event happened if he tells you about something professional.

5. Don't make him jealous. You might be tempted to test his affection for you by flirting with other guys, but that could chip away at or even end his attraction to you. Cancer men need to feel like they can trust their partners completely. If you gave him even the tiniest reason to doubt you from the start, he might not want you as a potential partner anymore.

6. Prepare to accept his possessiveness. When a Cancer man is attracted to you, he is likely to become more overtly possessive. If you want to nurture this growing attraction, you should find ways to deal with its tendency to invade your personal space. He'll probably go away for good if you push him away.

• Of course, you should also think about your own needs when you're in a romantic relationship, even if it may scare away the guy you've been looking for. Walk away and don't look back if his possessiveness becomes dangerous or unnerving. Even if his possessiveness seems innocent and harmless, you should still take a step back if it makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy.

7. Prepare for a long-lasting relationship. You should look elsewhere if you hope to attract a Cancer man for a casual affair. His aversion to hasty and crazy actions and his devotion to his family make the Cancer man a poor one-night stand. However, you will have a much better chance of success if you want to attract him in the hope of starting a long-lasting romantic relationship.
