Dating Without Drama

Scorpio and Cancer break the ice

March 7, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner 


Scorpio: So, you seen any good movies lately?

Cancer: Oh, I watched ‘Terms of Endearment’ last night, for like, the hundredth time.

Scorpio: ‘Terms of Endearment’? How sappy! I wanna see ‘Zodiac.’ Now that’s a movie I can get into. Murder, creepiness …

Cancer: Gross! How can you even watch that stuff? I’d be rolled up in a ball the entire movie.

Scorpio: [Grins.] I’ll protect you!

Cancer: Please, let’s change the subject. So, what do you do for a living?

Scorpio: [Pause.] If I told you, I’d have to kill you.

Cancer: Ha ha! No, really.

Scorpio: I’m not kidding.

Cancer: [Long pause.] OK, um … I’m gonna get another drink.

    ROFL! That was funny and true!
    I was engaged to a cancer once.. He was such a sap. I am sure he is great for someone else, just not me. The flowers, sappy movies and other overly romantic gestures were too much.
    The kicker for me was when he bought a house without asking me and then announced I wouldnt have to work once we got married so I’d have time for the 8 kids he wanted. HAH!
    Romantic for some.. Creepy to me.

    Wow. I recently started dating a Cancer and I am wondering where it will go. I am a Virgo. He cant be any more controlling than my ex-Capricorn. What signs should I be looking for in this future Cancer Virgo relationship?

    goddess,

    The answer to that is best addressed in a future post. But for now, you can read What a Virgo man finds sexy about a Cancer woman

    You are very accurate with these dialogs Jeffrey. Me and a Scorp are similar, but with a Sag twist:

    Sag: Ah, you’re gonna kill me? Hehe, weirdo. That’s not so scary! You’re intriguing.

    Two weeks later, Sag is alone in her room:

    Sag: My God, he wasn’t kidding. I’m never doing that again!!!……..Well, maybe, for like….a week.

    Sag,

    My talent for fiction stops at short dialogues. I tried short stories years ago, and quickly cut my losses.

  6. Sagilarious on March 10th, 2007 12:08 am

    I think short stories would be a blast! They couldn’t have been that bad! I could tell you some real life ones to get em’ going. I have dated most of the zodiac, unfortunately. Some were traumatizing, some boring. But, not everyone wants to hear a Sag combo. I have definately started to notice consistencies with certain signs as “boyfriends” though. Taurus only calls to see where you are and possibly who you are with, Libra calls to talk your ear off, Pisces calls because he sensed you were thinking about him, haha, Scorpio calls because it is your lucky day, and you better not take it for granted. Sag calls cause he will be in town again for a week before he heads out of the country (you haven’t heard from him since he VANISHED off the radar randomly months ago). Capricorn calls because it is the logical next step to building a relationship (how BORING).

    Oh, that’s funny…we scorpio’s aren’t really all that creepy…okay actually we are…I would definitely rather watch CSI than a romantic movie…but I’ll take the flowers if they come with chocolates too….lol.

    Christy,

    Thanks for the link! Judging from your list of recent publications, I would not be surprised if you had some strong Cancer in your chart:

    * True Real Estate Stories

    * Create Your Own Personalized Framed Picture

    You may be more of a romantic than the typical Scorpio!

    male cancer: I recently realized/decided were sexually compatible
    female scorpio: we have been seeing each other for four years!

    I am the female scorpio in this and it is a good thing I am very patient-I just love him so much! :)

  10. Anonymous on April 10th, 2007 12:58 am

    does this combination generally work well? any thoughts on the female cancer, male scorpio match? his ex was a scorpio and my ex was a pisces, aren’t both supposed to be compatible? so, i’m not sure about this one.

  11. Jeffrey Kishner on April 10th, 2007 1:16 pm

    Overall, Scorpio and Cancer are a good match. They are both water signs, so they express themselves emotionally. However, any number of other chart factors contribute to compatibility.

    I’m a Cancer female and love to read true crime novels and watch crime shows! Scorpios are mysterious :)

  13. Blah Blah on April 21st, 2007 10:11 am

    I’m a Cancer with a Scorpio moon and I would’ve jumped all over seeing “Zodiac!” BOTH versions :)

  14. Blah Blah on April 22nd, 2007 1:19 am

    By the way, love the name Sagilarious. Good play on words combining your zodiac sign with what Sags are most famous for - your sense of humor!

  15. Pamela on September 27th, 2007 10:22 pm

    I just recently started seeing a Cancerian man, I have never dated one before, I am a Scorpio, I really like him already and want this to work, how can I be assured of a great match?
    How do I know if he is into me?
    He is born July 1st, me on November 21st, any tips or knowledge anyone??

    This is how it went:

    scorpio: So, you seen any good movies lately?

    Cancer: Oh yah. I just got finished watching Life as a house…I cried.

    Scorpio: “Life As a house”? again?! CHEESEY! Oh dude you have got to go see silent hill with me.

    Cancer: There is NO way your EVER going to make me see thaT!

    Scorpio: Pansy

    Cancer: So?! I dont care..NEXT SUBJECT. What did you do this weekend?

    Scorpio: [Pause.] If I told you, I’d have to kill you.

    Cancer: Ha ha! No, seriously

    Scorpio: I’m not kidding.

    Cancer: [Long pause.] umm Nini your creepy

    (Nini is my nickname)

    Im a scorpio and Cancers are by far my favs. Even though they are all Pansys when it comes to gore movies. I’ve been Best friends with a cancer for almost 10 years. I remember growing…she could never stand up for herself.. and I was lets say..not a very good kid. I remember giving at least 8 little boys bloody noises for pickin on her…And since we are both girls I never minded her clingyness.. I would lead she would fallow…. My fav movies where the matrix, Xmen, hocus pocus. While she liked The lion king, and sleeping beauty. I was a tomboy, and she was the girly girl who liked to where pig tails and dresses.. We were like exact oppisites, but clicked so well. Damn I miss her (havent seen her in 2 weeks)

  18. Shakti on November 23rd, 2007 5:43 am

    Haha, this is uncanny. I have had a very similar conversation to this with a Scorpio man before.

    Emphasis on the ‘I’ll protect you’ part. Hee!

  19. Anonymous on January 15th, 2008 1:30 pm

    Well, I’m a Cancer and I’d definatley go for Gore over sap, so that’s strange. Haha, but golly, my Scorpio and I can go on for hours off on that stuff…a nice repartee full of inuendos.

  20. Executive Crass on January 16th, 2008 12:36 am

    I’d go for Gore too. He’s soooo sexy ;)

  21. Anonymous on March 9th, 2008 5:17 am

    lol… omgosh it’s pretty true over all… as in the general jest. the scorpio man offering protection and wanting that control… the appeal in the “danger” written all over is face… something about him tho… jus can’t say no

  22. janis on March 18th, 2008 11:28 pm

    I am a 5x scorpio and I can say this monologue is pretty funny, but accurate. I love that whole scarring the Cancer off and wanting to watch the scary movie part soooo…true! I love my scary movies anything having to do with the paranormal is exciting. I would so much rather go to a haunted hotel in England than to go on a carribbean cruise and that says alot considering i just love the ocean..

  23. Cancer Cutie on June 5th, 2008 7:31 am

    I have been reading all the comments and some are true about cancers and some are kind of pushing it. I’m a Cancer and I LOVE CSI and SVU and X-Men and Iron Man and such. I love all the movies that my Scorpio friend likes. I also like P.S I Love You and Little Women. I love to give my friend presents when he is in a bad mood and I like to cook too. I think some of you that put a person down for doing something nice for you may have some issues. Someone said that most cancers don’t stick up for them selves. I remember in high school giving some people bloody noses for assuming I was a pushover. I remeber being the one stickng up for those that no one else would stick up for. Cancers are probably the best people to have on your side if you are in conflict with someone for they will be loyal (when no one else is) and will stand with you to the bitter end. Don’t mistake sappieness for weakness. Cancers are very strong, very loyal, very true and protective to those they Love and care about. We wear our heart on our sleeve and that is why we can get hurt more easey that others.

    This is funny!

    Here’s a real conversation between me (Scorpio) and someone I met this Saturday who is a Cancer:

    him: meeting time
    me: You said that awhile back, have fun at the meeting
    (30 minutes later)
    him: That’s because I had a meeting at 11 that ended at 11:30, and an 11:30 that began at 11:40.
    me: I’m just teasing.
    me: I need a full accounting of your schedule for today!
    (pause of few minutes w/ no response)
    me: damn Cancers!
    him: Why am I damned to heck?
    me: I’m kidding. It’s because I jokingly asked for an accounting of your schedule and you didn’t respond, but it was all in jest.
    him: Hah, well
    me: I’m not *that* creepy
    him: heh
    me: I mean I’m kind of creepy…
    him: in a good way of course
    me: an adorable sort of creepy
    me: a creepy you can cuddle with him: when the time is right

    In a weird way, I really like his answer in the last line. My previous line wasn’t necessarily meant to be literal, but general. However, I think his response is more on the level of “I want to take the time to get to know you before getting to that next step.”

  25. jasmin on October 30th, 2008 2:50 pm

    Hahaha. I love that!

  26. Ehyse on November 12th, 2008 6:59 am

    I am a female Scorpio (10/30) and I prefer Cancerians as friends; they are usually there for me emotionally than any of the other signs. The men are too sappy and clingy for anything more serious. BTW, I like mystery movies (whodunnits) rather than horror flicks. Love the comments!
