Cancer female and Capricorn male

I've read through all of the sites that offer their spin on the compatibility of these two signs, but I was curious if there was anyone that could offer some real life experience. There is a cancer girl I am acquainted with; we had a few classes together, and she is mutual friends with my roommate. After one meeting the idea of her dominated my thoughts but I was in a relationship with a leo (beware). I am just curious if a relationship is worth pursuing. I must say, I am a typical capricorn.

Thanks

I know a couple like that (my cousin), and another where the man is the Cancer and the woman is the Capricorn.

What do you mean by that you are a typical Cap? I am just curious, because the description can be wide. I know a lot of Caps and some of them are so different from the other.

I never tried this combo, because i tend to clash with Cancer males in a bad way. Not their fault, iT's just our chemistry together.

The combination works well if the Cap male is serious and likes closeness. Because if i see it well Cancer women generally likes closeness (spending lot, i mean LOT of time together, and when they are not together phone contact). Cancer women are very sensitive, so Cap has to pay attention how he say things. Cap men are not always good with words, so it would be beneficial to not be rude with her. Otherway, i think Caps somehow adore how Cancer can be vulnerable, and find strenght in being vulnerable, and generally how caring they are. I only talk about Cancer woman though, Cancer men are very different in my experience.

I am sure you will get a lot of feedback because there are a lot of perople here, who can give you first hand insight. 😉

Most cancers actually need a lot of space and don't like to talk on the phone much. Some can go a very long time without contact and this doesn't necessarily change their feelings for the other person. They are very independent. I believe if Cancers are clingy and whiny it is a reflection of insecurity and/or immaturity. Also, love can really mess them up.

As far as being sensitive, it is true. It is more that a crab can sense the intent or feeling behind the words and can take offensive if they do not match, or if you are tactless in your delivery.

I had a Cap bestie and have a good Cap male friend. The differences are huge but I find the two signs can learn much from each other if they are open in their communication, except and try to understand their differences. They hardest thing for me to handle with my Cap friends is that we seem to have conflicting moral codes when dealing with others.
My Cappy girl could be very generous and helpful to people without a moments hesitation and in large ways... but only if they did things according to how she saw them and they would now be indebted to her somehow.
I would be very hesitant to offer my help and resources in serious situations... but when I gave it was from the heart with no strings attached. We taught each other balance in this area. like... "give freely but with no expectations"

My male Cap friend will take and take with verbal thanks but nothing in the way of action. But if you ask him for something he will bend over backwards to do it for you.
While I will give and give in action but you won't hear much verbal appreciation.

I've never been attracted to a Cap guy though so don't know what a romance would be like.

Sorry, if i gave wrong information! It is possible that i saw it wrong. Personally i feel they like to spend a lot of time together, but i admit maybe i feel like this because sometimes i really need a lot of space. I am sure it depends on the other placements in the chart too.

Oh, and one more thing. When i said that they like to spend lot of time together, i didn't mean it with a negative tone at all. How much time you spend with your beloved always depends on everybody's personal preference. If somebody wants to be together with their partner in every minute i am not the person who will say a thing about that.

oh, no problem. I wasn't disagreeing with your opinion just building on it. there are definitely Cancers that require a ton of contact... the reasons are usually emotion based

the problem with a cancer is they tend to look outside of themselves, to their partner for validation... of whatever. That they are loved, appreciated, valued. It is annoying. When they rely on others for this and their partner's actions change, how the Cancer views themselves within the relationship changes and they can get obsessive and paranoid. This is insecurity at its finest.

If a Cancer is secure within themselves this isn't such a problem. But then they expect the other person to be the same way... and can make a Cancer seem more detached and not as emotionally expressive.

Basically it sounds like the relationshop could work or fall flat on its face and it all seems to hinge on affection and attention. As a capricorn, I am not exactly the best at displaying affection; rather, I am not good at vocalizing my affection. What I feel for a person on the inside satisfies that need for myself but rarely for the other person. One thing I am interested in though is that I have read about cancers bringing out the emotional side of a capricorn. I think I just need to get into her periphery and begin from there. Test the waters so to speak.

Emotionally blackmail? You mean using the capricorns reserved nature as a weapon against them?

Hey it's been a long while since I've posted here, but I've been with my for what's coming on 4 years now. When we first got together there were a lot of communication problems. Aka neither of us were good at talking about our feelings, but that was mostly due to immaturity. Which led to a break up that lasted 2 months or so. The relationship now is way better than it was when it first started mostly because we have worked and continue to work on our communication issues. I think cancer/cap combination can be really fulfilling. I've noticed even though neither of is considers ourselves to be traditional, we tend to rake on traditional roles.

From my experience (been with cappy for 15 months), its one of the best relationships I've ever been in. There is a lot of chemistry and mutual respect for each other. It might sound silly, but almost as if the connection is predestined (sappy). Like Cancergem says...communication is probably one of our biggest challenges and OUR moods. Also, Cappy gets wrapped up in work, so I'm glad that I'm just as busy and time constrained, otherwise, it probably would be tough because we Cancer girls definitely like attention.

It really depends on individuals and their willingness to compromise.

Thanks everyone. You given me a lot of insight.
