How an Aquarius Woman Can Meet a Cancer Man's Emotional Needs

To connect emotionally, show genuine care through consistent actions and listen actively. While expressing love verbally may not come naturally, small thoughtful gestures and understanding his need for security can help him feel appreciated and connected.

How can I give him what he needs emotionally? I feel like I am missing the mark, I am really not a lovey dovey type of girl, but I try. Is there anything else I can do for a Cancer man, so that he can see that I do care or like him?

you can only be yourself really. then again, alot depends on your chart. he could be a cancer with alot of air or fire placements, which would help. what do your charts look like?

most cancer guys i kno r cry babies. this is based on experience and the experience of my friends who've all had a cancer man @ one point and one thing was the same with all of them: they cried. yes, us aquas are naturally not the emotional lovey-dovey type, but cancers r always going to be wanting more, and more, AND MORE FROM YOU. it pretty draining no matter how good they are in bed. another thing that i noticed is most of my girlfriend's "best" was a cancer, go figure. but i guess u cant have everything u want lol.

u can keep trying to open up to ur cancer man, but i feel like it'll never b enough -- not b/c its u, but b/c a cancer thrives on tears, gloomy clouds, feelings, "tell me you love me" sort of wallow. they get off on that stuff. if they could, they'd jack off to misery haha. i say run!!! lol

Only HE can get where he needs to be emotionally.

I love Cancer men. Love them, love them, love them!

But - they're draining at times. A lot of the time. They want a lot. They need a lot. They need you to understand them in every tiny area...but offer little in the way of information to work out who they are due to their frustrating habit of never speaking directly.

If you want to show you're serious, therefore giving him some form of emotional safety, then show support for his troubles. You don't need to fix them, he'll hate your advice regardless of how good it is.

Just remember to look after yourself, don't make HIS needs all you spend time thinking about. He's an adult, he can function without a hand-holder.

I was with a cancer man and I think he liked lots of affection its all about mothering so I guess if aquarius wanna be in charge that can work if they mother the cancer without feeling its invasive to be mothered back..the mother energy is profound anyway so just see it as a study of the psyche I guess? Then you wont feel its invasive. They like love and passion so cold impersonal may leave them sulking..keep it warm and friendly

PS my cancer guy didnt want mouch from me or much emotional support..mainly the passion and affection fulfilled those needs and since they are both non verbal he didnt need to then seek the support via verbal

Cancer Guy here

Find away to show affection to him....show him that you need him and appreciate him from time to time. Random hugs give him attention and be loyal....Cancers need that type of thing. We need to feel needed......We're like big babies but will never admit to it.....This on the regular and he'll love you forever.
