February 28, 2024

Are you wondering whether a Cancer man is in love with you?

Perhaps you’re dating a Cancer and it’s proving difficult to read his emotions?

If so, this is the guide for you. It reveals the 7 telltale signs that a Cancer is falling in love. 

However, before we explore these signs, it’s really important that you pay attention to the following story.

Throughout my twenties, I was always in relationships where I wasn’t sure if he loved me.  

In most cases, I couldn’t win him over.

He’d eventually get bored or leave me for someone better. 

It was beginning to feel like I’d never be good enough for a serious long-term relationship. 

But that all changed when I learned about a powerful aspect of male psychology which very few people seem to know about…

It’s called the ‘Hero’s Instinct’. 

It’s a primal psychological tick which almost all men seem to hold. When this direction of thinking is activated, it makes men feel like a strong, purposeful champion. Naturally, they are drawn to women who can make them feel this way. 

Indeed, when I learned how to activate the ‘Hero’s Instinct’, men would begin to OBSESS over me. Rarely, did I have to worry about winning them over (click here to learn how I did it). 

It’s really simple to activate the ‘Hero’s Instinct’ when you know how. Yet, so few women appear to know how. It’s crazy!

If you’re tired of having to fight to make a man love you, it’s in your best interests to learn more about how I discovered this powerful psychological trigger.

Of course, it may well be that the Cancer in your life is already falling in love with you. Read on to discover the 7 undeniable signs that this is the case...

How does a Cancer man act in love?

A Cancer man is an ideal romantic partner in many ways, but with depths. Whilst not as emotionally present and 'touchy feely' as other signs, this cautious crab will come out of his shell for the right woman at the right time. Here are the signs that he is falling in love.

1) He's telling you in words

One of the very obvious signs a Cancer man likes you is when he tells you that he does. He will be talking about how much he likes being with, talking about his dreams and hopes and hopefully giving some compliments as well. That's not to say if he hasn't said the L Word that it's off the table and he doesn’t feel that way. Simply being romantic, making grand gestures and talking in your love language are ways that he will be looking to make you feel comfortable and happy with him and show you are secure.

If you're further down the line, look out for his talk of the future, the plans you'll make, the place you will go and even the family you will have! This is never a light-hearted sentiment from a Cancer man and indicates a real bond has been built between you. Don’t break this bond by being flippant or off with him. Now is the time to really show that he cn trust you and that you are the woman for him

2) You've met his family

A cancer man who acts in love is almost certainly introducing his partner to his family. Being nurturing and caring means family is at the top of his mind and being a good partner will mean being able to fit in with his family life. If he's also showing affection whilst in the presence of his family, this is an even better sign.  Whilst other signs would see this as simple rite of passage in a relationship, for a Cancer man this is a very significant event that shows he values your relationship and its potential over the shame he would feel were the relationship to fail. There is a chance that your meeting of the family has taken a long time to come to fruition, but make a good impression and you will be truly set for a beautiful future.

3)  He's there more

It sounds simple but a Cancer man who is in love will be physically there. They love being with someone and seeking to give security as they would love to receive, so you will find that a Cancer man who is falling in love will be near you more and more. If less time has passed since your last date and if you find more text messages and calls on your phone, it's a sure sign that the Cancer man is finding you always on his mind. He might decide to show love through gifts, perhaps shopping, or purchasing something that he remembered you liked. To a Cancer man, no sentiment is truer than 'it's the thought that counts'. This is the star sign most likely to make you a mix tape!

It's worth saying that if you see the signs of the Cancer man becoming more available, don't pull away out of a sense of being 'too keen'. You don't need to play games with this sign, and repaying his affections isn't going to turn him off or away from you - quite the opposite. Playing hard to get isn't fun for a Cancer and  is a bad way to start the relationship, which for a Cancer man is all about trust, honesty and openness. Repay each compliment and bathe in the warm glow of being pursued with tenacity!

4)  He wants you to open up

A Cancer man is keen to get to know the real you. He wants you to open up and feel that connection together. One way he will do this is by opening up himself and showing his true feelings and secrets. It could be his dreams - literal dreams or his future plans. He might want to talk about the universe or life after death! This is a big deal to a Cancer man and something you should really value. A Cancer man acts in love when he is able to trust someone enough to bare all. You may find that he wants to know everything about you, from your opinions on World peace to your favorite spaghetti sauce! For him, knowing the ins and outs of you allows him to see you as a whole and if he likes what he sees, you can be sure that he really has fallen for you, warts and all!

5) He's started cooking

If you're offered a batch of muffins or cookies, from the Cancer man in your life then there's a sure sign that the Cancer man is falling in love with you. The zodiac sign of Cancer is associated with nurturing, caregiving, and cooking He will likely have taken into consideration your favorite foods and will have an interest in making them. Even if he isn't a master chef, you might have noticed that he's giving acts of service - perhaps the morning coffee run or grabbing you a drink or a snack. He can't help but nurtures those he loves!

Don't think that just because you aren't dining out that you aren't being wooed, as the zodiac sign of Cancer is associated with home and family. People with this zodiac sign really do find comfort and peace in their home environment  and being here is very important. Being invited into his home and having a meal or even a chat on the sofa is potentially a batter date night for a Cancer man than a trip to a noisy bar - plus you can wear your sweatpants and get away with it, this man is more interested in what's in your soul than getting into your tank top!
