Are there any particular things i should do or not do?
The Cancer in question is apparently quite outgoing, funny, quirky. she asked to to meet me.....but i get the distinct impression that she's actually quite shy or a little bit unsure of her herself.
Aside from the possibility of a bit of goofyness, i expect to be cross-examined quite thoroughly (that's a bit of a Cancer thing, right?)
They could be shy at first, but once they get comfortable,they are actually very talkative. Well you want to be gentlemen and courteous, give her all the attention (don't go looking at other girls), be sincere , don't joke around your last one night stand , talk about anything , be funny , be interested in what she says , remember what she says
Be sympathetic about things , share your last volunteer details
Compliment her (not cheesy notes but something like I like your outfit or your hair or you have a sweet smile would do Be romantic , send her a caring text message right after the date would be nice Reply her texts or emails right away , don't let her wait half a day for your replies
Tell us the details of the date, then I can tell you more
Talk about your family members in detail if she asks about them, especially if you have a solid relationship with them.
Be courteous with all people you encounter, as she is really paying attention to that.
Make the food yourself from scratch if you can, and invite her over to eat. She will probably prefer this over some strange restaurant, and will want to "scout" your place to see if she likes it therein.
I'd definitely have to support the "be romantic" advice, show her you appreciate her in the little ways by sending something like a text saying you enjoy her company. Make sure you give her the attention she deserves. Don't look at other women and don't try to make her jealous. Don't be wishy-washy and leave plans up in the air; be assertive and know exactly what you guys are going to do. Show clear and admiring interest in her but don't overdo it. Don't underdo it either since she likes to know where you stand (without any games). Treat her as the lady she is and you act as her gentleman. Be masculine (not like a caveman but displaying the "good" masculine traits if you know what I mean), and it's good to be human/sensitive with her too. Be patient and know how to take things slow because Cancers are not the types to just jump into a deep relationship unless we're 100% sure. Know how to give her her space but remain available, so make sure you have things to do in your own life as well; she definitely will appreciate that you're stable enough to weather any moods or needs of independence she'll most definitely have. That really is important though, you being stable. And don't be a flake in anything.
Expect to be cross examined as though you were on trial, but don't expect to be allowed to ask questions in return. If you get along well at the meeting, don't forget to text her to say how much you enjoyed meeting her. A text the same day after meeting (if you hit it off) is crucial so she doesn't have time to convince herself that you probably didn't like her anyway and she won't have time to get the old insecure, paranoid, timid thought patterns happening if she doesn't hear from you for more than a few hours after she gets home. We expect you to become instantly smitten with us!
Dont sit there and talk about sex, dont tak about your ex's, like refering everything as something one of your ex's did. thats a guarantee for a no go on anything!!!!! DO be a gentleman, we appreciate it.
