How do cancer women flirt?

This topic was created in the Cancer forum by leejt86 on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 and has 22 replies.
Curious about this cancer woman i'm casual friends with. Any tips on what to look out for?

Batting eyelashes
Maybe smiling and looking into your eyes then shyly looking away.
Some playful conversation one minute then the next ignoring you.
Either playing peekaboo or staring from across the room.
ive been ignoring her because she's 7 years younger than me,
Then why are you creating threads about her?
Are you attracted to her?
It's okay, I won't call you a pedophile.

You'll usually see them working the room (they're great at this), and positioning themselves at a distance, checking you every now and then. Cancers are pretty picky about their men and I've found they're fairly assertive and go after you (though indirectly) when they're interested. They usually won't mess with you unless there's a fairly good chance that they already know you're attracted, or its very probable in their opinion. They are strategic like other water signs (though more of the charmer type, and not as intense/intrusive/sexual/scary as a Scorp), and you just both kinda know what is up. Your eyes keep meeting at the same time. They keep popping up in convenient places. There's just a repetition and consistency to the courtship. With my first (of many) Cancer women, we'd just walk past each other in the hallway in high school and just stare at each other every day. Generally if a woman keeps checking you while you're checking her, the attraction is mutual. If she's not attracted or creeped out, and isn't socially retarded, she will not keep up that behavior as she knows she's sending the wrong signals.
If she's really feeling you, she'll have a friend get some info., or get some info. from one of your friends. These women want to be pursued, but they definitely are willing to pursue, and very capable of charming you. If they have to the pursuing though, you will eventually have to hear them whining about it, taking digs at your manhood later when the relationship gets bumpy. But the bottom line is, in my experience, you will know...It will be obvious and she's pretty determined so she won't give up. Another sign is that they usually always want to be around their love interest. They really like that closeness so you can kinda tell if you are friends with one and you start to get the clinginess early.
My method with Cancers has always been to just sit back, crack jokes, relate on an emotional level as a close friend, and if all that's there, and they are physically attracted? Nature pretty much just takes its course. Falling in love with a Cancer is a beautiful/magical/watery kinda thing - very intense emotional highs but also very homey/comfortable. First kisses are usually something really special. In the long run though, if that flame flickers enough (and its hard for it not to, with their mood swings), it eventually gets snuffed out.

Besides the obvious ones of good communication and doing things together, what are some sure fire ways to keep you happy in the long run so the "flame" does not flicker? There has to be mutual effort on both parties, but say the Cancer is pulling their weight what could the partner do to make you still care decades later?

Cool stuff. So what is it that partners who keep the flame going with Cancers have?

We are still looking into this. We are currently running trials with men who are raised by Cancer women and have Cancer siblings.
I'm an automatic flirt but usually I'm just being nice and friendly and people think I'm flirting. Can't I just be polite?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously! THIS IS THE WORST! I hate that I can't be polite and personable without a woman thinking I'm trying to smang. It always leads to awkward let downs for ugly chicks who think I'm interested.

Let me know how that goes.
But to make it easier you might do better by just asking the millions of guys who are in fulfilling happy relationships with Cancer women. smile

Okay great. Dude she will be 21 next year and considered a legal consenting adult.
Just be a PLATONIC friend for now and take her out on her birthday next year.

////LOL. Key would b asking the Cancer women. Im sure those guys think everything is going great. when a Cancer woman has decided u r over, u will not know what hit u. she will have the logistics of that shit planned out with flow charts and Excel spreadsheets that she's been working on for the last year, since she stopped ''feeling in love'' with you 14 months ago. the cancer problem is more alonf the lines of remaining satisfied than it is keeping others satisfied. even if u suck the life out of us, we barely notice it because u do it so thoughtfully and lovingly...hahahah
i have some more serious thoughts on keeping it going with Cancers, tha i can share when im not on this phone and can type...
I'm a Cancer and it's been my observation (also VERY hammered into me by close Gemmini and Scorpio friends) that I'm a huge flirt. I'll admit that I absolutely love the attention, as long as it doesn't get out of hand and I have some control over it, also, if its not too serious and is harmless. If I think someone might be getting too serious or attached and I don't want them then I'll lay on the ice pretty fast. I've also been told that I pretty much exude a sexual aura without trying and without meaning to. I don't dress like a slut or anything, and I know what I've been told is true, but I can't quite put my finger on the how or why of it....it just is there and most of the time I'm unaware of it and how it effects others around me. Most of the Cancers I know do this to some degree. We flirt, sometimes shamelessly, we love it and it's usually just for fun (so for those that are worried that your Cancer love will stray, probably not....unless you give us reason to).
As for the question of how to keep your Cancer love flame from flickering, adore that person, faults and all. Let them FEEL how much you love and adore them! We hate being taken for granted. We have just enough insecurity in us to start worrying that we aren't loved if our efforts go unnoticed or we feel they aren't appreciated. The more you notice and praise us the more we give. We'll give our heart, mind and soul for anyone we love but trample on us in any way (and it takes a lot of long time abuse to get us to this point) and we will burn to ashes any love we ever felt for you and then turn our back forever. And we never forget. EVER.
this girl knows shes attractive and is a tom boy, so im thinking it might be her personality.
I pick on her a lot me being a virgo, its mostly criticism. but im also trying to be mean cause she's used to guys kissing her ass.
Well, the chances of you getting her are pretty slim with that treatment. We hate being criticized and (at least from my experiences) when earth signs get critical, judgmental and superior acting it raises my hackles and curdles my milk. In essence, it's one of the negative traits in the earth signs and it's not attractive.
And if she's as intuitive as she should be (being a Cancer and all) then she already knows what game you're playing...just a heads up. We smell fake a mile away.
Don't know if this will help anyone, but I'm a cancer woman. I can tell u, I have many cancer friends and a cancer male sibling as well. Me myself and other female cancers I know tend to bond with men who are honest, fun, faithful, and goal oriented, ambitious, n attractive. We don't settle settle for less. If all of these qualities in the guy aren't there, we probably won't take it serious enough to make the relationship longterm because we will be still searching for "mr.right". We tend to be a little picky but that's because we look at the future at the very beginning. Will this man be good for me, is he good fo my future family, will he be driven enough to keep up financially, will he cheat, etc. We go all in when we feel someone so we are picky trying to make sure its not all for nothing. We get hurt very easily cuz some men prey on this. Its our best quality and our worse enemy of how we care so much.
Guess I forgot the flirting part, lol... we tend to give a lot of eye contact. Big thing with us. We have the ability to almost speak what's on our minds with our eyes. We say slightly flirtatious things or give answers with double meanings. One usually being a lil naughty, lol. Also, we may give light contact like brushing you as we pass or touching your arm while in convo or taking the time to allow you to pull us to the side for introduction. We don't like wasting time, so this would never happen if we weren't interested.
Cancer women are the best,hands down!
