Are Cancer Women Secretive or Private?

This topic was created in the Cancer forum by Numerouno on Sunday, August 20, 2017 and has 10 replies.
This question is for all who have either dated a cancer woman or know one.

I'm dating this Cancer Girl, 4th Juy born. We been going out and having fun. We also enjoy staying indoors and have great physical chemistry. But there 2 very peculiar behaviors;

1. I have never been invited to her. It's always my place. And one day I asked her, and she just asked her in jest, as to how come she has never asked me to beg place. The response was something very unexpected, "you know how I feel, one day I'll invite you". Well apparently, that day has not come.

2. Every time we are together, I notice that her phone is face down. She gets a frequent texts, and has fairly active social life. She broke up with her last BF a couple of months ago. They had known each other for some years.

I'm not a insecure man, but just being cautious.

I don't do rebounds and don't want to be one. We met on a dating website, and we been dating for over a month.

3. I have read that Cancer are loyal, but loyalty is also a personal trait. Cancer are layered and nobody can really know what they are thinking. What, I find surprising is that, during this initial courtship time of excitement, she spends Friday evenings with me and then wants to head back to her place on Saturday. I know she is busy and pretext is usually work, but then some friends of her make plans and she is out. In all honestly, she does tell me that, but I find it Weird and tricky.

Without offending or disrespecting should I approach and ask her question or be patient.

Any thoughts Cancer ladies is highly appreciated.
Neither you just don't understand our language.

Just talk openly about your vulnerabilities I suppose. Tell her how you are feeling and why. Ask

It could be she needs a lot of alone time.
You are being over the top though.
Women in general are secretive.

She sounds like me.

You're questioning her and assigning her negative traits because she isn't aligning with your behaviour.

Maybe you think what you want is what she should want too.

A cancer woman's home is her refuge away from everyone. It's her safe place. You aren't invited yet because she isn't letting you into her safe space yet. You have to gain her trust. We take our time.

You seem to want to rush. When you rush we step back.

She puts her phone down because its none of your business who she is talking to. Or she doesn't want to be distracted. If you start asking who she's talking to, she'll pull back again.

She doesn't need to be with you a few days in a row. Just because you want that, doesn't mean she does. You aren't living together. We need time for ourselves.

Cancers are good at being single and if she got out of something a few months ago and you're already questioning her behaviour, I'd see you as a red flag and start questioning why this guy is pushing?

Maybe ask yourself why you keep analyzing everything.

You had issues with her texting. You seem to analyze or judge her a lot. She isn't fitting how you want her to act.
+1. And I'm not a cancer.

Not really. We just like to make sure people respect our boundaries. Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile.

Well I do understand the concept of personal space, but again trust is something that we build. It's not about the that phone is kept upside down and I'll read a message. It's about, do you not want me to read something, there is a difference.

For the record, I would never ever ask a woman to disclose her conversation, but again is there something you don't want me to know?

The judgement would have been if I categorized a behavior as good or bad, I'm saying it's just not common. And I'm not disrespectful to her personal space, but I'm also not to be taken for a ride.

If I'm really into someone (cancer) I couldn't even look at another man not even one text will be sent from my phone to a guy and that is for the man as much as me as I feel it's the ultimate level of respect and my heart that I can give you ... but I have to be really into you otherwise I'm being sensible and keeping my options open. Ultimately I'm looking for someone who gives me that feeling I'm looking for only a few in your life can give you if I'm not getting it it makes it harder and I feel unsure - that can grow but you have to give me space (ideally I want butterflies straight off though). I would leave someone's house if I'm not feeling loved up enough for where I want to be in the situation to see if I miss you as soon as I've left and if I regret leaving then hopefully I can get the butterflies to see you again.

I would expect a guy to ask me if he has a problem and I would want to do the same the other way around but there had to be an obvious level of connection and right timing viable enough to warrant it. If you say something and she is not ready she may end it pretty soon as the way it would make her feel may not sit well.

I can't express enough how a cancer is guided by how situations make her feel mess that up and it is doomed !!

My guy was In contact with an ex and I considered ending it due to how it made me feel we discussed it and resolved the issue and put a stop to it and then I felt much better in the situation and immediately stopped contact with other men as I became more sure - choose your timing well and it can resolve !
