Flirting with anyone can be a challenge, so sometimes it helps to cater to your audience. One-way of doing this is knowing the person’s astrological sign in order to understand their character traits. People born under the sign of Cancer, between June 21 and July 22, can be extra tricky. Our need for independence can seem like a contradiction to Our longing for deep relationships. Flirting in a way, which appeals to us, could help you crack that protective crab shell, which is the symbol for Cancer.
Attracting A Cancer
Let us lead. Cancers are both born leaders and astute financial planners. If we are a part of a group, we are likely to be at the head, leading it. We are also very good with our money and can be quite successful at anything we set out to achieve.
Don’t be intimidated by this aspect of us Cancers. While we are successful leaders, we are also incredibly sensitive. The power and success does not go to our heads.
Appeal to our artistic and cultural side. We tend to appreciate lavish dinners, the arts and cultural experiences. We will be open to someone who is well-versed in the arts and appreciates extravagance. Tell us about the last book you read and which part was most touching to you. Suggest a fine dining restaurant and describe your favorite dish. Talk about plays and movies, which have meant a lot to you and stirred your emotions. Mention museums and your favorite works of art.
Go with the flow. A Cancer can be prone to mood swings. Don’t let this throw you off. We are incredibly emotional and can seem contradictory with these emotions or move through several emotions in a short amount of time. Be kind when our emotions begin to appear. Attempt to find logic and reason for our feelings. Stay sensible as we become emotional.
Interacting with a cancer
Make the first move. A Cancer will rarely make the first move, so it is going to be up to you to step up and initiate a conversation. Our emotional delicacy and fear of rejection tends to keep us at bay, but we will be open to your initiation.
Give a Cancer space and time. Do not rush us into a decision on the spot. If you try to force us to give you an answer right away, that answer will likely be “no” and we will pull away from you. Make suggestions and allow us time to make our decision. If you ask us on a date, give us options of when and where, then allow us time to decide. Leave us with a question. Give us time to consider your proposal, and check back with us later in the night to see what we think.
Gently touch a Cancer once you begin to feel like they are opening up to you. A cancer enjoys physical affection. Our erogenous zone is Our chest. I know this works better when flirting with me as a man than a woman, from what I have heard. Gently touch a Cancer man on the chest as you are flirting. You could gently pat him on the chest when he genuinely makes you laugh. (I know I would love that!!) Gently run your hand along his chest as you briefly walk away, before you return to check in on him. While you probably want to avoid touching a woman’s chest while you are flirting, you can still be physically affectionate and reach out to touch her shoulder or forearm.
Make friends with the friends of a Cancer. Cancers are very loyal people and tend to have a small group of very close friends. We will take our friends’ opinion of you to heart. Being respectful and kind to a Cancer’s friends will draw you closer to the inner circle. Spend some time with the Cancer’s friends when the Cancer walks away. Befriend them on your own. Actively listen to what the friends have to say. Make a point to learn their names and remember specific things about who they are and what they do. Ask a Cancer about our friends when just the two of you are together. If someone had an important meeting come up, ask how it went. If one of our friends is going through a tough time, follow up and ask the Cancer how that person is doing.
Communicating with A Cancer
Be straightforward with a Cancer. Let your feelings and intentions be known. If you are looking for a long term relationship, mention it. Definitely make my mixed ass aware of it!! Make me know what you want!! If you are hoping for a one night stand, let that shit be known!! On the other hand, do not lead them to believe that this has potential for a relationship if that is not your intention. We will find this out and it will drive us away. It’s straight fucking deception to me!!
Give a Cancer sincere compliments. Like most people, Cancers have a need for approval, but we will see right through a forced or insincere compliment. Even if the compliment is very simple, keep it honest and sincere. Find something truly unique about our appearance and mention it. Maybe we have a distinct speck of color in our eyes. Something about our style or outfit could intrigue you. Mention our body or tattoo and ask us about it. It likely has special meaning to a Cancer.
Crack a Cancer’s protective shell. The biggest sticking point for a Cancer is trust. We instinctively protect ourselves until you earn our trust. This can be tough to gain in a short amount of time, but starts with complete honesty. A Cancer will see right through any pretense. Speak the truth and do not contradict yourself.
Ask Cancers about their family. People born under the sign of Cancer have strong ties to their families. Family always comes first to us and we are likely to have a large family. Cancer women are great mothers. Ask if they have brothers and sisters. Take a genuine interest in learning more about their siblings. People who are important to a Cancer should be important to you.
Tips
· Allow for plenty of time for him or her to feel familiar with you. Cancer people may be timid initially, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in you, or the topic of discussion.
· Watch for hints. Rarely will Cancers state what they’re thinking or feeling directly at that moment. Cancers might not say things out loud much at first, but often their facial expression and body language are an open book.
· Be patient. It may take a bit for a Cancer to come out of their protective shell. Or perhaps in order to feel established in the conversation they’ll launch into a somewhat long-winded explanation or memory of some kind. You can learn quite a bit about a Cancer when they do this, so have patience and listen closely.
· Be honest and loyal. Cancers appreciate honesty and devotion. Don’t flirt with other people. Cancers are prone to jealousy, as with Pisces and Scorpios.
Warnings
· Do not insult their family, no matter how much they may complain about it.
· Don’t lie and cheat on them. They’re very volatile and sensitive people, and you do not want to face their explosive anger.
