I'm a virgo moon crab too, and rides are not usually smooth when i'm involved. You must be extra sweet or something.
Thank u for responding! Yes im dating a virgo for 2mths and its unreal how well we get along. Nothing but jokes and laughter!
"I'm a virgo moon crab too, and rides are not usually smooth when i'm involved."
then i guess you screen name fits you perfectly, mr.crabby.
"You must be extra sweet or something."
then again, maybe not (i'm gonna take this as a compliment)

CANCERBUDDY u hit it on the head!! i wood definitely describe in the same way my relations with virg male.. is it really us cancer being overly sensitive.. i dont think i am though..i think its just their bull---hits me on such a wave to just really scramble my feelings..they are so unbelievably uncomfortable with emotions.. (WARNING:FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ONLY)i wont say all virgos but a particular virgo male i was with definitely fit the bill
i still wonder why they go out of their way to make something seem wat it really is not..especially if u dont start things off that way..

Ohhh, I like virgos. They have always been cool with me. They can be know-it-alls ..... hahahaha but so can I, BUT IM NOT EXTREME WITH. A pot certainly cannot call the kettle black 
Hi im new to this great site and a Cancer female dating a Virgo male for 4 weeks
))
80% of the time its been great but the critisizing is hard to take ;-((((
On the Virgo board when i asked about this i was advised it means he cares if he does this. Hope this is true!!!
What do you people think??? Anyone here is a Virgo male/Cancer female wonderful and working well union???
Leyla. This is good pairing, and we cancers can grow and learn a lot from it. Just try to state as soon as possible,(if it applies to you) that you can get hurt easily.
I had a nice, but short relationship with a virgo guy once and the hardest thing about it was that when he meant to be cold, he was ice-i dont know you- don't you talk to me- kind of cold.
besides that, it was great!
hope it helps Thanks both your input is welcome as is others.
I am worried that his comments will kill my self esteem, i have tried to answer back and tell him i wont stand for this crap but he ignores me and carries on regardless. He is far from perfect in many ways but thinks he is. I could have a go back about many issues but couldnt do that, i believe he is what i wanted and so why mock what i wanted and was attracted to????? I guess i cannot hurt people like that its not in my nature.
But like ive said "when its good its good, when its bad its horrid"
Its just can i learn to take that bad with the good and ignore his comments???????
My relationship is fairly new(met in Jan started dating in March) and yall got me scared because my virgo doesn't critize me at all. If anything he keeps me LMAO.Is this normal?
Miss Cancer,
My guy makes me laugh so much its wonderful at times :-)))
But you know he critisizes me from my posts on this board
(((
Maybe your perfect in his eyes thats why you dont get critisized??? Or maybe hes an exception to the Virgo male rule???
Leyla. The most you can do is to try to be open minded, and if yes, perhaps he might have a point when criticizing (mispelled perhaps), try to take it in right there, and not just leave it at that, because its gonna start to hurt later on. I guess Virgo males are the boring version of geminis, they need to be stimulated, and perhaps that's why they like to start the critic ruckus...
yeah, not much to do, just take it in and give your input right there! perhaps they get bore after a while and start seeing the kind of mess they themselves can be...(sorry to virgos who otherwise arent like that
) Thanks for your input guys, it helps to know people are supportive on here and understanding.
Cancerbuddy i agree with agent you gave a good insight into Virgos and i thank you for that.
Agent you are soo right and after a mixed weekend with my Virgo man (it was half wonderful-half palin awful) i am sticking with it for now and just seeing what happens.
If he ever upsets me to the point that i cant take it i can and will walk, i am strong and left a 4 yr relationship with an Aquarius and got over him fast with little crying, so i am a survivor, when i need to be.
Leyla.
I'm a cancer woman and I find Virgo men to be nice, but boring. Maybe not the men, but the realationship in general. Not enough spontaneity for me. Too mundane.....

I find them boring too...but I've never really dated one,,,just worked with one, and a good friend of mine is a Virgo...she is not really boring..but she is mundane
Cancer and Virgo make an awesome pair because they understand eachother so well, BUT, the problem is deep down inside they are too much a like and that's where the conflicts arise. I have a son with a Virgo male and let me tell you, it's been a wonderful roller coaster ride (I hate roller coasters by the way). We have a deep bond that goes far beyond having a child together, we are truly the best of friends, we care alot about eachother but getting those words out of a Virgo is like hoping that your teeth will grow back when you are 90. As you all know, virgos don't express that mushy stuff very well, but they love it when Cancer does (just don't do it ALL the time) They know you love them, but express it to them in emails and text messages and when they ask you about something you said, pretend that they've lost their minds and must have mixed you up with someone else. They love the humor and "false" detachment. You must balance it with love and sarcasm because surely the conflict will come, but when it's all over, you two will laugh for days about it. It's a lot of fun when Virgo and Cancer mix and secretly they really do love you too, just don't hold your breath if you want to hear it in the first 10 years of knowing them. They show it with things, (not flowers, no not flowers, that's a waste of money to virgo). Lets say, if you mention that you have a taste for a salad, rest assured, your virgo will come home with the exact salad that you've been craving, you don't even have to ask for it, just mention it. Virgos show "practical" love. Remember to give them a kiss on the cheek and say, thank you SO much. I love you. They will smile, blow it off, but trust me, the next time you want something, your virgo will make sure you get it.
That explains a lot about this Virgo guy that SEEMS to like me. I say SEEMS because I'm confused as to his behavior. One day I'll catch him staring at me & he'll start flirting with me & then the next day --- nothing. It's like I don't exist. Other times he'll pass by my desk talking loudly with others trying to get my attention, & other times he'll joke around with me but he'll say 'mean' things like "I don't want to talk to you" or "I don't even like you" (he's laughing & smiling so I know he doesn't mean it when he says those things). But then the next day, here he'll be back trying to get my attention again, flirting with me (he loves to stare at me & when I look back at him, he'll smile). This has been going on for about 4 months.
I've never dated a Virgo before, so I didn't really understand what was going on with this guy. The guys I've gone out before were all pretty much direct with me. They would tell me that they liked me, and then we would go from there. Now that I've read some of the Virgo traits and other info about them, I'm starting to understand why he acts the way he acts.
I do like the guy....I don't know why because I don't really know him. It must be instant chemistry..I don't know, but I do wish he would ask me out instead of sending me mixed messages. I know he gets nervous when he's close to me....so there is no doubt in my mind that he likes me. But I'm a Cancer, and I won't be the one that makes the first move.
Oh well. It'll be his loss.
Then he'll try to talk loud

yes i dated a virgo male for almost 3yrs- and i am so with what agent006 said "a heads up for you, don't take his sarcasm too seriously and don't expect too many compliments or sweet-nothings." that's one thing for sure -my virgo and i got along well - he was pretty stubborn so am i but i think i ended up compromising more. he lied sometimes but i think it was because he was afraid - he's sooo afraid of disappointing that he wouldn't do anything at all which was a disappointment in it self -- but his lies bothered me cus i appreciate honesty ALOT -even if it hurts.LOL
yea they can be very judgemental at times - annoyed the hell outta me - we're still friends. i liked how rational they are sometimes - it brings me back to reality since us cancers mostly think with our feelings. keeps me grounded - he definitely had some positive effects on my life.
sometimes they seemed detached - i think once both of you want the same thing and u both work on whatever problem arises then u'll be fine- with my ex i seem to be the one always tryin to talk out the problems - i kinda had to push to get him to talk - i did this for most of the relationship.
virgos don't seem to like to deal with problems -so u might have to instigate- i don't think they realise jus how much can be dealt with once u open up n talk bout it - this was a big problem in the beginning of our relationship - now my ex understands y i always tried to talk it out - it was because i didn't like things jus hanging in the air - i wanted to deal wit it and move on to the next problem - lol anyway he says he's learnt alot and so have i from him.
jus be honest with ur virgo - overall i think under different circumstances my virgo n i would have worked out - just be you

hey girl, he's jus shy - i think he might be afraid of being rejected - they hate disappointments - i'm talking from my experience with virgos but not everyone is the same - virgos aren't very good with expressing their feelings like we are - jus try n get to know him - n when u're comfty enough round him try n make a move on him - here's a move my ex(virgo) made on me to try n get closer to me "hey i got something really interesting i wanna fwd to you - what's ur email addy?" then he added me to his msn and started courting me thru msn - he was amazingly brave on msn but so shy when ever we came face 2 face - lol
hope this helps!

Cancer 12, I think you're right about him being shy and not wanting to be rejected. This Virgo guy is divorced and has two children. I don't know his story, but I know that he has full custody of his kids. He's probably afraid to get into another relationship and wind up getting hurt. I totally understand that.
I'm comfortable around him, it is he who feels nervous around me. I am myself whether he's around or not.
That's a good suggestion about the email addy, but then again, I'm a cautious Cancer and I'm usually not the one that makes the first move. I'm not looking to complicate my life, but if I like the guy and he makes the move , I'll accept his invitation.
I think he might've tried to make a move before, but I probably didn't respond the way he wanted me to. That's probably why he's apprehensive about asking me out.
This is what happened: A few months ago, I was going to lunch, and he said "where are you taking me to lunch?". He threw me for a loop, because at that time I didn't know he liked me THAT way. I had things to do so I just shrugged my shoulders and told him that "I don't have money to take you anywhere" & continued on my way. He kind of pulled away because he stopped passing by my desk for a week or so. Now he's back giving me the Look & trying to get my attention all the time.
What happened is that I didn't really know he liked me in the beginning. I just thought he was sometimes mean to me because he was having a bad day. (You know those techie guys have a lot of stress on their shoulders.) I thought nothing of it, but others at work told me that he acts that way because he likes me & doesn't know how to approach me.
I don't know if i'll see him much anymore, because this week I've moved to a different building at work. I sometimes have to call his group for technical support and if he's the on-call I'll get to talk to him. I'll see if things progess. If they don't, I'm okay with it. Well.. i say i'm okay with it, but I do think about him more than other boyfriends I've had...and I haven't even gone out with this Virgo boy. I wonder if I'm falling for him. Yikes!!

NotYourTypicalCancer i'm glad u're not letting your emotions get the best of u and u're thinking things out - jus don't miss a good thing - but about the 'not wanting to complicate your life' what did u mean?
do u mean the fact that he has baggage already? because personally i'm not sure i myself could handle a man wit baggage but maybe it's because i'm always seen myself with a man with no baggage - i dunno - i think a man wit baggage is too much for me to handle but that's me
Cancer12,
When I said I didn't want to complicate my life, I meant that I'm content with my life as a single. I'm pretty independent & I love my 'freedom'. I'm not really looking for a relationship, but of course, if the flirting with the Virgo guy materializes into something more, I'll take a chance.
As far as baggage, I think everyone who has lived has some kind of emotional baggage. Some more than others, of course. It all depends on the childhood experiences, upgringing, education, traumas, etc. I know the Virgo guy went through some rough times (his wife left him & his 2 kids), so I'd say he has some emotional baggage. To what degree, I don't know. I'm a nurturer by nature(as most Cancers are), so his being divorced with 2 kids would not be an issue with me.

i admit we're manipulative but that's not y we like ppl to show their emtions - there u virgos go thinking negative - why must u guys always think so bad bout everyone (my ex n y aunt)LOL
branh0913, my dear i think cancers like ppl to show emotions because it's easier for us to connect with them - we understand ppl better - we like to feel secure emotionally b4 we open up to ppl - but maybe that's jus me

oh n virgos rarely admit when they're wrong
There's a quite a few Virgos where I work at. Computer profession...surprise! surprise! It's like a pack of Virgos walking the halls when they get together to go on break. LOL
The majority of them (at my workplace) will not admit when they are wrong even when they have been proven wrong. They will keep analyzing the solution that was implement, & since it was their solution, they will state their case as to why this was only a temporary solution and their solution is still the best idea. Which most probably is a true statement. 
I don't believe Virgos are negative, though. They are just always thinking & trying to improve things. However, I don't see them laugh much. It kind of makes them seem like robots, but once you get past that cold-like appearance, you get to see a tender side of them. Also, it took me a while to figure out their sense of humor. Most of them time I didn't know if they were joking or being serious. But, I got their number now.

"I sincerely think you're probably a sweet pea personality-wise."
yes 25thDecan, i am but in every other way too! 
"While I do give general statements on the zodiac from time to time, it's never miniscule until someone's internet personality proves me wrong and I go ahead and strike....see capricorn board...ugggghhh. But geez that's a blanket statement you hit us with there. Dayum ma!"

sorry misscancer2u, this shud be bout u
I actually am in the middle of a break up with a virgo. We definitely understood each other (in some ways) on an almost inhuman level....very deep bond....but this is my take on virgos:
If a cancer is going to be with a virgo, try being with one that came from a very loving and affectionate family. My virgo came from a dysfunctional family and was basically unloved and treated pretty coldly by their own mother and father----both who abandoned them at one time or another. Is this not the LAST thing that a virgo needs????????????
As close as we were, dealing with them was like pulling teeth....the relationship was very devoted but there was very little spark or passion...it was like dating an ice sculpture: good to look at but dont' touch....and when you do, you'll regret it.
Now in the break up they're attempting to self-justify EVERYTHING that happened or did not happen in an effort to save face. I don't see myself dating a virgo again unless their cultural and family background is such that they are completely unlike the average virgo that you would meet. If you want peace and warmth in your house, virgos are not well suited!
My first boyfriend zodiac sign is Virgo, and i'm cancer...We have ups and downs, he's been cheating on me, he's so flirtatious with other lady...i'm dead to my jealousy...Since i really love him...i always forgive him...when i caught him..until such time...i'm feed up with him..then i came to a decision i broke up with him after 4 years relationship...He almost got suicide,..fortunately...i comfort him by telling him...that i still love him...
But still our path got separated..we've live in different countries...He move on with his life, as well as with me...But from time to time sometimes, we have communications but as friends only...for more than 4 years also...just recently we decided to be together again..and planning to get married..But still we did not see each other personally..until now...

Wow... weird hearing about the Virgos on the other side of the coin. Is that common with every sign? Take me and fellow Virgo Branh for instance... SO different, it's like he's not even a Virgo in my eyes, yet he must be the "other type Virgo".
I'm so laid back and mellow... Critical? ME? God I hope not. But do tend to offer ideas to fix things, when often I should just be a listener.
I was with a Cancer gal for 10 years. We met while camping. We were friendly for several months and to the point of giving each other a hug when the weekend was over and everyone was packing up for home. I started thinking about her and made several attempts... weak tho they likely were to get something more serious going with her... but I couldn't get the responce I was looking for from her... so eventually gave up.
Then one night while standing around a camp fire with friends, she comes up beside me and puts her arm around me. I put my arm around her. We sang some songs together, and soon were walking down to the river hand in hand. We ended up passionately kissing on the river bank... we later became lovers, then steadys, then moved in together. It was HOT for several years.
Eventually I became bored... sadly. I wish it was possible to turn off "boredom" it really sucks. I fooled around on her, she found out... I broke it off with the other gal, then spent the next several years trying to be a hermit to avoid meeting any other women, even tho doing so was what I really wanted to do. Eventually we broke up. THo we are still on friendly terms and chat weekly.

>why oh why would someone want to be friends with anyone who cheated on them while they were dating - this just puzzles the sh/t out of me.
It was an unusual situation when we met, to be sure. I was 32, she was 47. She was married. Her husband didn't go camping, she went all by herself. She had another boyfriend/lover besides me for sure... I knew the guy. We alternated weekends, LOL. I think she also had a third lover and maybe a forth, but not sure.
When we became steadys, she told her other main guy goodbye. So from then on, we spent every weekend together.
She eventually divorced her husband and we moved in together, everything was great for several years. THen I started to get bored. We had a heart to heart and I suggested we try swinging... why not? When we met she was fooling around on her husband and had several lovers.... but my oh my had she changed... she was pissed that I would even suggest such a thing... she didn't talk to me for like... two weeks. Eventually she told me she'd cut my dick off if she caught me with another woman...
So I tried to be good... but it happened. I hooked up with another gal. After about 6 months, my Cancer gal found out, confronted me, I fessed up. I broke it off with the other gal and then tried to be good again, but only ended up being a hermit... you know the rest.
" but other times, especially wen i get to know a person "too well" i tend to become argumentive ."
I've experienced that with other virgos and it makes no sense to me. Its like your "reward" for sticking around is getting sniped at 24/7. Then some new person who doesn't mean anything to them doesn't have to put up with any of the bullbutter you put up with.
insane.
