HOW TO ATTRACT A CANCER MAN

If attract a Cancer man, it's vital to establish a strong emotional connection with him right from the start. These seven clever seduction tips show you exactly how!

1)  ACT A BIT HELPLESS

The number one tip for attracting a Cancer man is to act a little bit helpless. He's likely to respond much more positively if he thinks you're in need of some tender loving care. So although in reality you may well be quite tough and capable, make a point of showing him your more vulnerable side. Incredibly soft-hearted by nature, the Cancer man can't resist a sob story and will want to look after you in any way that he can. With his high level of sensitivity, he's closely in touch with his feminine side and not normally a particularly macho type of guy. Cancerians do, however, have strongly developed protective instincts and will fight bravely to help the weak and defenceless. So if you like the idea of being rescued by your very own knight in shining armor, don't hesitate to ask for his assistance.

2)  ASK HIM ABOUT HIS ROOTS

A reliable way of attracting a Cancer man's interest is to talk to him about your family background, and in turn to ask him to tell you about his. Family is very important to this guy and often tends to be his main priority in life, taking precedence even over his job or career. Enquiring about his childhood roots, such as where he was born, whether or not he has brothers and sisters, or where his family spent their vacations, is an excellent tactic for getting to know the Cancer man. Even better, and a sure way to make him fall in love with you, is to take an active interest in his mother. Cancer men usually have a very close relationship with their mother, and securing her approval is a must-have for any long-term relationship. So if you're serious about capturing a Cancer man's heart, you'd better start making a friend of this woman now!
 
3)  CONVINCE HIM YOU'RE A HOMEBODY

The average Cancer man's ideal vision of the future centers on a nice house and garden of his own, filled with adorable children and pets. A dedicated homebody at heart, he's unlikely to consider a long-term relationship with someone who isn't the nesting type too. For this reason, if you want to attract a Cancer man and make him fall in love with you, it's important to give the impression that you're highly domesticated and that you love children and animals. Most Cancerian men will eventually want to become fathers, so if you detest kids it could prove a big sticking point with this man. Talking to him about your current home, as well as where you aspire to live in the future, will encourage him to open up to you about his own hopes and dreams and create an emotional bond on which you can begin to build.


4)  BE GENTLE, KIND AND CARING

When trying to attract a Cancer man, bear in mind that the male Crab is a shy and reserved creature, easily scared off by predatory types intent on gobbling him up. So don't make the mistake of coming on too strong or asking too many probing questions at first. A Cancer man will be reluctant to divulge too much about himself until he's ready to accept you into his inner circle, and will only clam up if you dig too deep too soon. To gain a Cancer man's trust, it's vital to show yourself as gentle, kind and caring, and above all an excellent listener. Because he has a strong emotional nature and is easily hurt, he needs a partner who will sympathize with his mood swings (of which he has many!) and to whom he can express his feelings without being judged. Avoid criticizing him, arguing with him or chiding him to 'pull himself together' if you want to win a Cancer man's love.

5)  APPEAL TO HIS TRADITIONAL VALUES

You'll attract a Cancer man more easily if you make him believe that, just like him, you have a traditional approach to love. With his old-fashioned values, this man is looking for a true soul mate with whom he can settle down happily ever after, not just a one night stand. Because he needs a partner who will be loyal and faithful, he's unlikely to fall in love with you if he suspects you're the kind of person who plays the field. The Cancer man is attracted more by modesty and 'niceness' than any amount of raunchy good looks. Renowned for his sense of romance, he loves candlelit dinners in intimate surroundings, so when the moment is right, don't be afraid to ask him over to your place rather than wait for an invitation from him. Cancer guys sometimes need a bit of a prod to get a new relationship underway.

6)  MAKE HIM SMILE

Making a Cancer man laugh isn't particularly easy, especially when he's in one of his melancholic moods. So if you're able to put a smile on his face by showing him the funny side to a seemingly sad or worrying situation, you'll climb sky high in his estimation - and be in with a much better chance of winning his heart. You'll have to proceed very carefully, though, to avoid inadvertently offending him or hurting his (extremely sensitive) feelings. Don't be fooled by his self-deprecating sense of humor: it's okay for him to make fun of himself, but you mustn't do it! Because he takes everything much too personally, teasing of any kind is off the agenda if you want to attract a Cancer man.

7)  BUILD AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH HIM

To attract a Cancer man's love, you'll need to find ways to establish a powerful emotional rapport with him. You can start by mentioning a stirring movie that recently had a strong impact on you, and why. Then try to steer the conversation towards an issue associated with the theme of the movie which you have personally found emotionally challenging. This gives him the chance to empathize with you and start to connect with you at a feelings level. Don't worry about revealing too much information, too soon. Although he may be reluctant at first to talk about himself, he wants to know the real you right from the offset, and by shooting straight from the heart you'll make it a lot easier for him to eventually open up to you in return.

THE CANCER MAN SEDUCTION CHALLENGE

Tread very carefully if you’ve set your sights on winning a Cancer man's heart! You’d be wrong to assume the meek and mild Crab is an easy conquest who won’t give you any hassle. Entice a Cancer man to fall deeply in love with you, and you could land yourself with a lot more than you ever bargained for. Emotionally fragile and with a heart that is easily broken, a Cancer man in love is very high maintenance – and could make you feel very guilty if you end up making him cry.
