I think I am beginning to realize what my problem is. I'm not sure why I do this, but I'm sure it has to do with my Cancerian ways.. but now that I'm divorced and in the "dating game" again, I keep looking for the wrong men. I know what I need to fulfill my life, however the guys that I'm finding myself attracted to are complete losers. I think it has something to do with wanting someone that I can take care of. I know that Cancers are very nurturing people, however I'm also very logical and I want someone who can reciprocate my attentiveness and affection. I think I'm deciding to just stop looking, when the time is right, whoever he is will come to me.
Nurturing Ways
I hear you. I am 39 years old and it has taken me until now to figure out
why I end up with the "wrong man" and how not to. I used to wonder
if I was wearing a sign that said, "men with problems apply here". You
are exactly right in assuming part of it is the Cancerian nurturing energy.
After all we are the "mothers of the earth". But I believe certain
experiences (usually from our families of origin) can turn our nurturing into
a positive or a negative. I have realized that we can only nurture and
help those who want it and that nobody can change anyone but themselves.
Actually many of the times I thought that I was helping someone the
opposite was actually true because I wasn't allowing them to learn their
life lessons themselves. Good luck, it's hard to be a Cancer yet so rewarding
at the same time. My thoughts are with you in your progress on your
life path.

It's hard at any age to be a cancer in/looking for love. I'm in my early twenties and unlike a lot of my friends who have had lots of partners I have had two. The last being the one I thought was the one but hey, you can't trust a saggitarian man. He got bored and blamed it all on me when it was him who pressured me into moving so fast!
No young fee and single again I am looking for love again but I'm not chasing it, like Amy says if its meant to be it will find you or you will find it...even if sometimes this is with a gentle nudge from a good friend who can see just how great you are and how great you would be with a certain someone. Good luke to everyone looking for love!
