How do Cancer guys react when they are falling for

Hi guys,

I'm wondering how Cancer guys react when they are falling in love with someone? What are the signs? I know they are subtle, but there's got to be a sure sign....a dead give away that they are falling in love. What are these signs? I'm still confuse with the Cancer guy I'm in love with, but he doesn't know that I'm in love with him. He does things that really confused me. Please help. Thanks so much!!!

The cancer's I've been with don't hide it. You can tell in their eyes. Especially if you're really independent; they feel like if they don't latch on they might lose you. One of them I was best friends with and he pursued me for two years and I think it was more about the challenge with him. Then again sometimes you'll just meet one that gives you these endearing looks when you do something cute or funny. They will treat you like a princess. That's my experience. They call you more than most guys as well and are very open with you. If they're clamming up then they're probably afraid of getting hurt or they're not sure yet. Another thing is that you need to find his chart. That always helps.

Thanks for the reply GemGem! I appreciate it! I've known the Cancer guy I'm in love with for almost a year now. We use to work together and our friendship started by talking (IM) to each other everyday for hours. We know each others past relationships and we both admitted liking each other but he was hurt pretty bad in his previous relationship and he told me that from the very beggining. We no longer work together....it's been 2 weeks since I left. We emailed each other a couple of times and this weekend he called me but unfortunately I didn't get to answer my phone. I called him back as soon as I saw my missed call but he never returned my call 😢 . I've left him messages and even txt him, but I never got any reply. He didn't leave a message when he called. Why is he doing this? I feel like sometimes he's going forward and then take two steps backwards. I've been very patient because I care about him so much but sometimes it frustrates me when I try to reach out for him and he won't call me back.....sometimes I feel like he's ignoring me but then when I try to pull away, he does something to hold me back. Does this mean that he cares about me too, but he's just too scared to get hurt again?

Exactly...he's very scared. That sounds like a lot of cancers I know. It's almost like they subconsciously act like a little boy. They start to get what they want and then they are scared of it so they run and hide out for a while. Remember...the cancer is in a shell the majority of the time, but I think you could coax him out. If you've already tried contacting him a lot though, just stop and see what happens. He could be playing a little game with you. It's very possible. What's your sign? You should find out his rising sign also. It makes a huge difference as well as his moon and venus. www.alabe.com is a great site for that. P.S. Cancer's can be quite manipulative when they want something. I'm a gem with cancer rising and cancer moon. I know that sometimes I take on that role, but I quickly have to snap out of it. haha. It's bratty.

I've been there! I'll tell you right now that just because Cancers are known to "love being in relationships" blah blah blah don't put game playing past them... especially in the beginning. Cancers seem to both idealize love and fear it because they KNOW they'll be in it for the long haul (and that's pretty damn scary when you think about it).

I agree with gemgem in that if a Cancer man is in love you'll know. He'll call everyday, look at you with love in his eyes, see you as and treat you like a princess, protect you (or at least want to believe he is... let him believe it 😉 and just want to be near you. My Cancer boy behaved in a similar manner as yours... calling sporadically, acting shady... until I decided to kick him to the curb. I often read about how Cancers behave when in love and couldn't understand why he wasn't acting that way... well duh... he wasn't in love!

Our story ended happily though... fate brought us back together and NOW he is behaving the way a Cancer man is known to behave (and oh my! What a difference!).

Thank you GemGem and Taurusgirl! I'm a Gemini and sometimes I try to hide my true feelings especially when I'm hurt. I pretend that I'm ok by acting really really happy and I've done this before when he said something that hurt my feelings. Instead of acting sad, which I was, I acted like it's nothing. Do you think that worries him? Do you think he thinks that I'm not that serious about him....about my feelings for him? Because there were times that I tried to make him jealous by talking about some guy, but I didn't talk much about another guy. I just wanted to find out his reaction....because sometimes it is really frustrating and now he's frustrating me again. I txt him 2x today and I told him that I miss him and that I am worried because he hasn't return my calls. Did I do the right thing? Should I keep on doing this and then stop all of a sudden? Do you think that'll make him think?

Im going through the same thing at the moment...the cancer man I fell in love with got separated with his partner and baby momma of 10 years two years ago.. we had an instant connection but due to the fact I am in a relationship which I want to end for him he is afraid of getting hurt and falling in love. He said he adores me and really likes me but he is scared. We haven’t spoken for a week now and I am going to see where we are going...I will not contact him first anymore which is putting a pause on my own break up...(as we have children)...I feel scared to leave this relationship if he won’t be with me anyways..

Im glad you are having fun! Lol 🙏🏻

Yeah I wonder what happened to @jl_fiona and her Cancer dude 🤔

just broke up with my fiancé

he's born under the sun sign of cancer

He made cry alot and he was awfull .. he called me and i didn't hear my phone when i called him back again he was on hold so when i tried to call again he told me why you'r calling me now i don't wannna talk with anyone i told him that i found he missed call me .. he went saying yes that was 30 min ago... which is not true it was only a min between his call and mine then he said .. yes i called and u dindn't pick up.. now i don't wanna talk with anyone.. i sent him msg and he said... i will not read ur msgs or listen to u.. and if u send me any msg i will blame only myself.. and i have to leave him alone.. so i decided to leave him and i blocked his phone number.

Cancer suppose to be sweetest persons of the zodiac and nevrt hurt others

but i experienced the opposite

He's the most person who made me cry

I feel like he did it in purpuse to hurt me?

But why?

i've also recently met a cancer guy we were good friends rolled off each other i'm and aries tho and he was just so charming and i felt like he was special had something about him funny and good at socializing and being an aries i'm impulsive and i couldn't keep my feelings to myself so i told him, he took it well at first said he didn't want our friendship to end over this because i was planning on never talking to him again because my feelings would ruin it, then he said he was going to try go after me which i said no dont do tht because i wasn't planning on a relationship i just want us to continue what we had . The next day i read my messages and he's said that he's decided its best we don't talk to each other again I WAS major pissed i don't like not having control of a situation let alone losing someone i just met that i felt such a strong connection with luckily i was able to message him on another account and talk him out of blocking me so he's unblocked me now and told me how he doesn't want to get hurt as he is still quite heart broken over the last relationship he was in and said he's not ready to be hurt again or it might kill him, i understand tht fully and i just regret telling him how i felt i guess, it's something i need to improve on self restraint. And i have a feeling things will never go back to how they used to be now but if anyone could give me tips on how to reassure a cancer i'm not going to hurt them that would be great.

Ya I used to respond to them with logic and advice based on cancer behaviour, since I’m a cancer with a more masculine mind, and I just got hate and triggered vitriol. Most of these scorned ppl just want validation they are either right or victims, rather than learn how to treat ppl with respect.
