A Crab man is overtly sentimental. He will take a long time to pluck up enough courage to phone you, until he is sure in his Crab-like way he can move in for love. He might seem mildly indifferent: playing guessing games about his true motives with you when he first takes you out to dinner.
He loves food, and if you offer him breakfast in bed he might just agree to scrambling the eggs himself. This man needs smothering with affection, and sexually can be languid and lazy when it suits him, especially once he feels secure in a relationship. Typical of Water signs, he feeds on gentle rhythms, quiet arousal and delicate love-making.
Don't ever mention your past boyfriends because he will see vivid mental movies about where you have been, and who you have been with. Cancerians are very possessive, and if you mention ex-partners, he will wallow in self-pity for days.
Don't ever look at anyone once you're married. You are collected, part of his acquisitions and his very personal private collection.
Cancer men hide out in the dark corners of pubs, or at the edge of the in-crowd. If they use their extrovert shell to cover up their weaker personality they can be awkward to spot. Sometimes they hover in the wings, hiding from possible failure, appearing as confident and convincing as any fire sign. But around the full moon you can usually spot them when they become touchy and moody, not at all like any Fire Sign!
He is easily flattered, and often gullible in the face of a strong protective woman. He has a cheeky, little-boy-lost appeal that he takes to parties in his search for the perfect soul-mate, and he needs one desperately for all his apparent self-confidence and arrogant manner. It's misleading. Beneath that gregarious shell is a soft heart. There will only ever be one woman at a time for a Cancerian man - at least you can be assured of that.
