Cancer men and female friends

Is it true that cancer males can be solely friends with females, without any intent of hooking up with them? They just genuinely care for and want to be there for their friends?

Side question: do Cancer men have a white knight complex?

Yes, I can be friends with females without the intention of hooking up with them.
Understanding the white knight complex as being supportive to a female in the hopes that she becomes my girlfriend/gives me sex/etc., for me its "no". Then again, I don't think the white knight thing is sign specific.

I'd say yes

Yes I have female friends that are just friends, no I'm not a white knight.

Funny I have more female friends than guy friends then I have lots of women that just know me. It is just the way it is not sure why it is I just attract women.

Thanks guys. I do agree. I also wonder how often the female misconstrues that caring side of the cancer. Or do they just get it, friend vibe, case closed?

I tend to be pretty clear.
But I have had a few instances where the female has tried to push for more.
That's where the Crab dodginess comes in handy.

They get it confused often. That caring side is really something. 😢 But I think cancers are pretty clear with you if they don't like you as a friend. I think they'll tell you bluntly or won't do anything that will cause you to think they like you more than a friend.

i have one thing to say...

Lmao thanks Redmann! Can always count on you for a laugh break.

But the question is, when do you know that they don't want to be just friends? My cancer friend asked me, after not seeing each other for 3 months, to go to the cinema, I asked him if it was a date or just as friends, he only asked the question back, so I told him I didn't know. He told me all kinds of bs about how only watching a movie isnt a date, its only a date when its like a full program with drinks and dinner etc. The next day he cancelled but he said he did want a revance. So I told him we dont have to meet up (things had gotten a bit awkward after I asked the date-question) but he insisted. So now we're going to have dinner and watch a movie next week (unless he cancels again). It sounds like a date to me? I dont dare to ask..

Anytime darlin ...anytime!!!

OK so my specific situation:

Cancer boyfriend of 2 years, but we were friends for 4 years before that. Right before we started dating, he was going thru breakup phase with his ex.

Typical cancer guy, he has tons of female friends, but extremely platonic. Never had any issue with that, aside from my natural Taurus possessive streak. 😉

So abt 4 months ago, he met a new female friend at a mutual friends gathering. The girl found BF on Facebook and from there they became chatty friends. Insert the usual FB post stalker stuff lol. She visited him at work a couple times too, but months back, not recently. Its essentially a text friendship.

Abt 2 wks ago, she starts leaning on BF for help BC her husband is or may potentially be abusing her (she's married with one small child). She had him on her phone in silent so he could hear what was happening, in case he needed to call cops or her mother. A couple days later, the husband calls my BF asking if they are over (her and my BF). Apparently things have been so bad for the girl, she's in therapy, taking meds, staying at her moms house here and there, etc.

I would like to see opinions/feedback from you guys. This has been huge point of contention for me and BF because generally I trust him, and generally he has superb judgment as a cancer and can see thru peoples games. But my gut is that this girl likes him, is playing a friend role, either genuinely or purposefully, and that over time BC of her situation sshe is going to develop feelings for my BF BC of his willingness to help and listen and be a great friend. I've never had a gut reaction like this for any other of his friends. Something abt this just rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps becausr I've been in and seen this same thing before.

...You don't trust him.

To clarify, when I say I've been in this sitch before, don't mean with Cancer man. He is amazing and trustworthy and knows how to make me feel wanted and secure in his love for me. I've never questioned that. But something about a new woman sharing her relationship problems with a guy she recently met smells desperate. I'm just curious to see how this pans out lol.
