How to get a Cancer man to call
You've already established that adhering to gender role assignments in dating rituals is the way you want to go, so you've given up your power and are waiting for the Crab to pick up the phone. But he's shy! You could be waiting, like, forever!So what are you going to do? Use your feminine wiles to "manipulate" him into making the first move? What a great idea!
If you're lucky, the Crab of your dreams has Venus in Gemini -- how could there be a better planetary placement for seduction via the telephone? All you've got to do is give him your number and say, "Call me" with a sexy wink to inspire him to ring you the next day.
Otherwise, he may need some goading to get out from behind his shell. Fortunately, Cancer is a cardinal sign. It initiates. There are four cardinal signs: Aries pioneers, Libra mediates, Capricorn climbs ... and Cancer wants you to meet his mother. So to get him motivated to act, it has to be in service to the Moon, his ruling planet. If you're a single mom, tell him you'd love him to meet your kids. If he discussed how close he is with his sister, share that a party of three at brunch would be a great idea. Then tell him to call to set up a time. I know these are not the most erotic come-ons, but the fastest way to a Cancer man's heart is through his family.
Unless you can cook.
Stumble It!

Isn't 'feminine wiles' just a euphemism for emotional manipulation? She would certainly have to be careful using any sort of ploy as a Cancerians are eerily intuitive.
A brazen approach might scare him off forever.
I would suggest that she think of something he knows about call him to ask for his advice. Cancerians love to be needed. Then offer to cook him a meal to say thank you - if a good cook - otherwise take him somewhere where the food is good and plentiful and the atmosphere homely. When with him ask him lots about his family and find a way to pay a compliment about his mother.
Warning. If this strategy is successful he will be booking the church and picking names for the children - before dessert.
This post is funny!
Jackie, you gave good advice about a Cancer man. On a 2nd date with a Cancer guy, we were sharing our baby pictures (his suggestion). He invited me to meet his daughter for our 3rd date. Of course, I thought it was sexy that he's such a caring father.
It's not that funny, because it's true.
One of my mother's best friends has been encouraging me to give her Cancer son a chance many times already.
The guy has been in many relationships, but none of them lasted long - in the end his mother didn't approve.
She's another Cancer.
I'm seriously intimidated every time I see them.
Fiametta, that's kinda... yucky. No one wants to compete with a guy's Mom. Not sessy, imo.
Careful... when a cancer man calls... he won't stop!!!
Fiametta, ask the Cancer guy (alone) why his relationships didn't work. Then ask his mom (alone). If they say the same thing, RUN! Translation: those apron strings haven't been cut, yet.
BTW, I hope I have a Cancer child. :)
Eme Kah, exactly. I'm also pretty sure that she'll eventually find him a girl, who will make all decisions for him, just as she does it now.
Well, if it works for them?
Jara, since the Cancerian mother has started cherishing the idea that I'd make an ideal wife for him, I'm too busy avoiding them altogether ;)
What I occasionally witness is enough to suspect that it's not even about apron strings, but umbilical cord.
Cancer, you say?
This is to funny..my cancer guy always speaks about his mother. It really doesn't bother me at all. For me, that's what draws me to him, the fact that he loves his family the way he does, especially his mom. They say Aries and Cancers don't mix but I say not so. I guess for me I have an understanding of him and why he does what he do. I understand when he needs time along to vent or even just think. He can be very insecure sometimes but I just over look I don't feed into that much. We all have our ways about ourselves and it is what it is.
The best way to get a Cancer man to call is wear a low-cut top and tell him you'd rather stay in than go out. When he does come over let him lay his head on your lap, that way he gets a good view. Cancer likes to keep it cozy.
lmao at victoria =]]
i'm a cancer girl but i have aquarius ascendant so i never call people first; i play hard to get like cancer does, but even if we become friends, i keep them at a distance because i'm scared of looking clingy. so i'm very emotional, but i come across as distant. i always make someone else make the first move.
I am scorpio female who is head over heals for cancer male. we have dated on and off for 5 years. he never calls.
I just got dumped by a Cancer. I didn't realize how attached to him I was until it was over. He never invited me to meet his family :(
I need help regardng a cancerian guy i am intrested in..He's a great guy,a genius at law and very shy..I understand the attachment to the mum part, but this guy's mum expired when he was born..I confessed my feelings for him in jan,for which there hasnt been a reply.And i asked him that thru an sms,big mistake.Bt when i call him,he doesnt pick up, and when i msg him,he doesnt respond.but when he sees me he will give me the most wide toothed grin i have seen..what am i suppose to make of this,should i just wait for the phone call or keep msging him like this?
