Best way to win a cancer ex back?
I mean can a cancer go from one minute to loving the hell out of you to dropping you in a second. Being so mean and cruel... Like you never meant a thing to them? Or is this a mask?
So do we hate cancers? I love them except when I want to kill them.
Carry on!

I'm reading this as you having multiple episodes with the same person.
One thing with Cancers-when they decide the relationship is done, it is DONE.
Might have been one episode too many. Don't know enough particulars.
ive experienced just that, totally into me one day, the very next week telling me he needed space to himself for a few days- i didnt hear from him for 2 months, and when he did reappear it was a brief text~ i am still left confused.

The thing that you lot don't understand about cancer is that even though we know all kinds of love and appreciate each one for what it is, we really, truly, madly believe in true love, the kind that we know we will be with you in heaven, and choose you above all the angles that love us too.
When/if we know that you will not choose us, we keep on searching!, because we really, truly, madly believe that we will find them. We never ever give up on love, we will give up breathing, but I guarantee our last thoughts will be about love.
A lot of you lot here talk about loving cancers, but then you move on, too quick for our liking, or talk degoraratory.
The lifelong respect for us is a test.
But see, that's just it.
I am 35 years old, and I don't have time to play games anymore.
If a person acts childish and rude in response to genuine behavior, there is nothing I can do.
This whole "waiting around" stuff is absurd, especially if awful behavior is on display from the Cancer.
Self-respecting men do not allow women to treat them like crap and get away with it.

@See Scorpiofish, I get what you're saying, and I kinda think I know you're story with your cancer, but you saying bad crabs etc, just proves that our bad sides are never accepted the way we accept others.
We have to fight stereotypes, and it seems like we are not allowed to be a little bad, without being the rotten apple.
Every behaviour has a reason, childish, rude behaviour is not that persons core personality, and sometimes it takes someone special who has the understanding to help bring out the best in us.
I still remember your posts about being torn between two cancers, just feeling for another person means you cannot fully feel for the one you're with.
Cancer knows when you truly love them, (their version, not your version), it's the only thing we've been looking for and we sure know how to tell.
Scorpio (for me) has been the only sign that ever had that potential and vice versa, so don't give up, as you've said you know you want cancer in other posts.
Also about that girl, I know it's not my place, but words is all we've ever heard, they really are overrated and they're our forte anyway, we need action, someone that can appease our cardinal.
I obviously didn't word that right. "Bad Crab" refers to the Cancers out there that are ruthless and selfish in affairs of the heart. One cannot fairly believe that all Crabs are good, when there are some really bad ones out there. Thank God the good ones overshadow the immature and hurtful ones.
As far as the Crab's behavior toward me, I was innocuous about the whole thing. When she flaked on me, I told her it wasn't a big deal and even offered to get her some medicine. When she was rude to me, I completely got quiet. When she flirted with me, I called her the next day on the phone to talk and invite her out with our friends. When she was rude again and cut me out, I ignored her but yet she spent the entire Tuesday night last week staring at me.
Please help!!!
Hahaha.
If I go talk to her, she will regard me as some weirdo. If I ignore her and talk to other people, she gets frustrated.
WTH—?

Oh Gawd, Cancer ladies can be bad this way. Really hard to say here but my 1st thought is she's testing you to see how much of her (read immature) bullshit you'll take. Cancer women get notoriously insecure, especially around the object of their affections, and so can manipulate and cause drama just to see how you'll respond. If you're a pisces, you should be able to relate to this on some level. I'm sorry but you pisces male cats can play this game HARD CORE and I've had you play it on me. That's part of what makes this a challenging combo: whose going to let their guard down first? whose playing games? whose feeling insecure? It's very exhausting just reading this crap, right? Welcome to the Cancer/Piscean world, baby. It's wet, murky and got knows where it's going. Prolly round and round in circles. But the sex will be great at least. Two water signs making love is as hot as it gets.
But yeah, Cancer ladies are a lot of work. But we're not all a piece of work either.
It all depends on the details of the relationship. Who broke up with who? What was the reason for the breakup? etc etc. I can pinpoint the how with more information.


There is no way.

Hahahaha, thank you!
I know. 😢
So what's my next move?
I found a video clip that summarizes the situation perfectly, haha!

Right!
So this might explain why she was rude to me and cut me off, yet stared at me all night a week ago after I tried to ignore her?
Dammit, and I will most likely see her again tonight.
Hellllppppp!!!!
What do I do?
I hate ignoring her, but what choice do I really have here?

That's one aggressive fishy. That poor widdle crabbie was just trying to defend his food. Does this make pisces aggressive poachers? Man, get your own vittles! Seriously, this vid makes Cancer women seem harmless and we're anything but. Cute video tho. Thanks for sharing.

Hope things went well last night. I'm not sure how to counsel you to play this. If she's flirting up other men and trying to play one off the other, she's just not worth the effort. Way too immature. This may be a case of no matter how much energy you put into it, it just won't work. If that's the case your best bet is to try to avoid places where you will meet in public, if that's possible. Sometimes we end up falling for people who just aren't good for us. And it sucks when that happens.

Okay ScorpFish, if there's one racket a pisces man can play that drives us Cancer ladies up a fruit cake tree, it's blowing hot and cold. Now maybe it's not game playing on your part. Maybe you just need that emo space but lemme tell you, it really messes with our insecure heads. So if you have to keep dealing with Miss Young and Stupid, might as well blow hot & cold. She could use a little piscean play-back just to show her how it's done. But you're better off cutting bait, you know. Cuz no matter how you play this, she'll still be young and stupid.

Hahaha, I interpreted that as the fish trying to get a kiss goodnight from the Crab, hahaha. I'm kidding, of course. Note that after the third attempt to reach the crab, the fish just gives up and swims off. I wonder if this is a case of symbolism?

Thank you for the well wishes and hope. She basically did flirt with 3 different boy toy types last night in front of me, and it was sort of stupid and childish to witness. Of course, all the while, she kept glancing at me while sitting about 3 feet away at MY TABLE where I was simply talking to my friends. I am starting to agree that my efforts to be an adult in all of this really have no impact on her, as she is simply too immature to handle a relationship with a good guy. I am no nice guy, and I am no asshole either. I know myself well enough to tell her that I am willing to be with her, but I don't tolerate stupid crap very well at all. As much as I am inclined to talk to her, I am following the much appreciated advice around here to simply act like she doesn't exist. Hell, I barely even looked at her last night. Are you sure this is effective?

I am really sensing how true your words are in all of this. Last night, I just chilled out, talked to my friends, flirted with a few girls on the team (who flirted back), and texted a few girls back on my phone (all of which she saw). What makes me nuts is why she sat down at my table again. Why can't she just be like other girls who don't want a guy and just avoid him altogether? Why the incessant need to either observe or sit close to me, yet not say anything? And then flirt with 3 idiotic younger guys right in front of me? Oy, what a mess. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the advice of you, LunarMaiden, Aquavita and MoonArtist in all of this. All of your words are something off of a golden tablet as far as I am concerned, and it will certainly never be forgotten. I really do owe you all big time for this, because I would have probably blown it by now without your help.

This sounds like a young unevolved female Cancer game. She's trying to make you jealous. You're responding back but where will it all lead? If she's seriously flirting up other dudes in front of you that is your cue to BOUNCE. Even in my green days, I would never play a man I was interested in, this way. I didn't want to appear slutty (and I'm not) and figured that kind of move would be the best possible way to drive them away. But this girl is toying with you. This kind of game playing is too exhausting and again, where will it all lead? Keep your flirt going with other girls and those options open.

Cancer women are clingy but if they let you go, that's it. Looks like an angry cancer. Are you sure she doesn't know those guys? Like acting? We're kind of the super shy type you know, not the typical cancer to just talk to anyone they met on a pub. I can see she's having a hard time talking to you directly. Maybe she still likes you but waiting for you to make the first move. Did you try hugging her? Cancers are loyal.

Folks, if a Crab walks out of your life or acts cold about anything, the best advice I can give you is to follow suit.
Ignore them, refuse to acknowledge them and get your flirt on with dozens of other people.
Work out, take good care of your body to the point that there is VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT to your sexual attractiveness and flirt the hell out of everyone you meet.
Put the Crab on notice that you are a wonderful person who is hot. Put them on notice that you have friends and others who care about you because they know you are a good person.
Trust me, when they run, DO NOT CHASE. Leave them the hell alone, and get on with your life.
Mine has recently come around.
If yours also comes around, play things cool and DO NOT BRING UP BAD BEHAVIOR FROM THE PAST. Do not shame them or make them feel bad. Just be warm and endearing, because that is ORIGINAL BEHAVIOR for them as a response. Be assured that when they act like assholes to people, and you don't respond as an asshole back, you are being original.
Keep us updated!
BTW, JUN 26 Cancer is also still in my life, and I think she may be starting to fall for me. I really like her as well, but JUL 20 Crab is also coming around so there's that curve ball I didn't see coming either haha.
Just be cool, and be HOTTTT and look at yourself as a prize to be had.
