Early Stages of Dating a Cancer Man
When it comes to zodiac signs then, cancer is number four. The element is ‘water’ and the quality is ‘cardinal’. Cancer man is ruled by the planet ‘moon’ and falls in the hands of planet ‘Mars’. The symbol as most of you may already be aware is ‘crab’.
So, Cancerian males are deep rooted emotional beings. Their decisions (in most cases) are made from the heart and not from the brain. Such is the effect of their water element.
From what I learnt after interviewing the subjects was that cancer men:
>>> are highly emotional beings that listen to their heart
>>> seldom take decisions based on practicality
>>> exhibit themselves as tough individuals. Nonetheless from deep within, they are soft and mushy.
>>> are very easy to hurt. When they do get hurt, they also become vindictive.
>>> caring, loyal and sensitive towards their partners.
>>> are extremely secretive and suspicious as well.
>>> follow their partners around to the extent of irritating them.
>>> love to control those around them. In this quest, they tend to upset their dates.
What Should You Just Start to date a Cancer Man?
Over here, I am addressing the issue of the early stage when you just got hooked to a cancer male. In the initial stages of your recent romance, everything seems mushy and too good to be true. Well, this is when you need to exercise caution.
Here is what all you can expect while staring to date a cancer male:
The Lack of Eye Contact:
Like it or not but a cancerian male is super shy. So, when he first sets out on a date with you, he may have a tough time looking you in the eye. If he does look you in the eye, his facial skin is sure to turn red (a clear indication that he is blushing).
Your Ear is What He Wants:
Cancer men are oozing with emotions. They are also very honest from inside. They are looking to share their innermost feelings with you. So, if you were to win his heart, you need to listen to his stories and secrets real hard.
The Super Soldier:
Your cancer man is super-duper protective about you. He shall go to any length to keep you safe and secure. This is with special regards to both physical as well as financial security. It can sometimes get too overwhelming.
No More Bars and Discs:
Your cancer man prefers quite party spots. Home is the best place he likes to dine at. Bars and restaurants playing loud music may be a ‘turn off’ for him. So, you can hope to watch a movie at his place and enjoy the evening holding hands.
The Shell Issue:
Cancer men are super-emotional by nature. Nonetheless, when they start to date a new girl, they try and exhibit an extrovert attitude. This is when they tend to subdue their natural persona. At times, it comes across (to you) as a split persona (but in reality it is done to impress you).
Passionate and Charming:
The water element and moon (ruling planet) make your cancer man a charmer indeed. He is a die-hard romantic and shall do unusual things to impress you. Bed time is best suited to relish his true feelings and passion.
The Wide Gap in Talks:
A Cancerian male is a secretive guy. He does not open up on his very first date. So, you need to be patient. Nonetheless, his homely qualities shall compel him to open up the moment he feels connected to you. Thereafter, all his secrets shall be out.
You Need to be Compassionate:
Cancerian male is super passionate by nature. He is always on the lookout for an emotionally stable yet compassionate female. If you fit that bill then, he is all yours to keep. So be passionate and be prepared to get a lot of attention from your man.
The Marriage Material:
Cancer male is not a guy who would double date you. He is a committed guy who sees his family above all. So, date a Cancerian only when you want to get married.
Mood Swings and Die Hard Memory:
When you start to date a Cancerian male, you shall notice his moods shift a lot. This is common for a cancer male. Nonetheless, he gets back to normal in a few hours.
Also, he remembers every trivial detail of the date. If you have somehow offended him, he may forgive you (he usually does). Nonetheless, the cancer man shall always remember what triggered him. So, he has a good memory.
