on 1/23/2008 oh and yea... its probably not wise to cross us.. in the end we do have the last laugh.. the upbringing and social class of each individual contributes greatly... however most if not all people born under that sign share these characteristics

on 1/23/2008 im a cancer and yes most of this stuff here is very true.. however im not THAT attached to mommy dearest.. i guess i could be classified as sensitive due to the fact that i do get easily offended... in a relationship im also very loving and do like to be controlling... i get jealous really easy which usually leads to irritability... it comes and goes, we just need someone who can put up with our moods and love us for who we are.. what id really like however is to find true love.. i usually always look in the past.. sometimes reminess, have a penchant for collecting things, fear of having any sort of debts and do dream of collecting a vast fortune... not due to greed but so i can afford to have many children....

on 1/9/2008 If you are interested in dating a Cancer, first you need to have someone else on the side with whom you can actually have a relationship. In the meanwhile:

1. Be patient: it'll take about three to five months before she'll consider dating you.

2. She'll hide things from you but let you know that's she hiding things.

3. Her mother will constantly interfere.

4. It'll take another month to get to first base.

5. She'll try to control you in every way. If she can't control you she'll leave.

6. She'll throw temper tantrums and sulk every few minutes.

7. She'll constantly bring up the fact that she's afraid you'll leave her (and eventually you will want to).

8. She'll avoid you like she hates you and just when you think you're through then she'll call.

9. She'll cling to you like a band-aid and then leave you.

10. Total coward!!

on 12/12/2007 Being a cancerian, I would love to add that we do not like loud people, atleast as a date. We prefer soft-spoken dignity and shy guys are cute!

on 11/24/2007 I am a cancer...a true cancer. I love being in love and I love making people laugh and I always try and make sure my boyfriend is happy. I am definitely a homebody, I would rather stay home watch movies play games...then go out to a bar. Every once in awhile I do like to go out...to a restruant (anything that involves food..im there) dancing, or anything that involves hanging out with the ones I love. I definitely need to feel loved all the time. I need reasurance...I hate being rejected...or not understood. Our main thing to to always feel loved, respected, understood, and appreciated. If so, we will love you forever. We need stability and someone who is dependable. We may get moody at times but it doesn't take much for us to get out of that state.As long as you understand are feelings and appreciate us.Personally I am an honest, and trustworthy person and I want and need that same back

on 9/19/2007 I'm a Cancer female...sheesh, there's a lot going on with us. We are without a doubt, the most romantic, sympathetic, sensitive, loyal, nurturing, stick by you even though we should get rid of you, creatures walking the face of the earth. But I guarantee you, if you dump us and date around, you will always think about us and realize that we weren't that bad in the first place. It's very simple...we are looking for a reciprocal relationship. Because it REALLY does make us happy to do things for you, it helps to know that you will return the favor. We don't ask for "things". But we will ask you for your time, attention and unwaivering loyalty. You would be doing a great service to yourself if you can provide those things. We are a straight-up clan of people. There really is no need to lie to us. We would respect you more if you would just tell the truth. We can handle it.

on 8/11/2007 I disagree with people saying Cancer males really aren't sensitive and loving - I'm an Aries female in a long term relationship with one and I've never felt so much love in my life. He practically worships me as well. It's incredible. Once I suggested he was being too much like a friend and I wanted a bit more passion and his eyes brimmed up and he told me he loved me so much. He was really scared I was going to leave him and he hugged me tightly in bed. I felt really guilty and my mood soon cleared. He also has a brilliant sense of humour. The only down side is he limits himself - I'm taking him abroad next week, the first time he'll have ever been abroad. Oh, and he likes saving money. It's taught me not to waste mine though, which is a good thing.

on 5/13/2007 The worst mistake you can make in using astrology to determine how to "woo" your new lover is to not take the rest of their natal chart into account. Everyone is different. I'm a Cancerian woman, a moonchild for sure, but I've got Libra in Mars (aggression + diplomacy) and Gemini in Venus (charming but sometimes fickle flirt).

At the core, we are loyal and tenacious girls. Linda Goodman was right when she said that it would be brutal to toy with the heart of someone so devoted. We're notoriously difficult to get to know, but we want to see the effort because we will never let go.

Never forget that Cancer is a CARDINAL sign, just like Aries, Libra, and Capricorn. We're the most unassuming kind, but when we find our niche, we like to excell at it. We appreciate others who are like that: independent people, creative people, pioneers, leaders.

on 2/18/2007 i am a Gemini woman and for the past 3 and half years been having a relationship with a cancerian woman. My god, it her way or now way, even if she is in the wrong i am the person expected to put things right. Maybe i just met a bad one, but my god i have heard of going under the shell, but to just totally cut someone out of your life just like that, for the things my woman has done, i cant work out Cancerian women! Treated her lovely, did romantic things, always taking her and her daughter out, couldnt do enough for her, but on a weekly basis always being faced with this devil woman is not pleasant, please tell me this is a bad one and your not all like this :)

on 2/10/2007 I've got to say that I'm your stereotypical Cancerian female - every single test I've done on every single astrology website I've been on has astounded me with how accurately they can describe me. As such, I just felt like chipping in to say that this - yup, this article right here - would have me wooed.

Perfect.

on 2/6/2007 I am a Virgo girl, had a huge crush on a Cancer guy who is also my new flatmate for two months. everything described in here are so true.
We are still friends, we talk about everything, but not yet the feeling I have for him.
He was talking about his occasionally unsuccessful dates, and for what reasons he would end up for not seeing this woman again.
I am trying my best not to show anything on my face, just being supportive and listening carefully.
One day I questioned myself whether this is the guy that deserve me to love him so much or he is just one of these very attractive and gentle guy who will never lack of woman around him. after reading this page, I am relieved that I haven't done anything wrong, I am still me.
as we live togeher, we will always have chance to see each other, knowing things that other person doing.
Thanks very much for many Cancer's self-confession.
I am willing to see when he is moving out of his shell and show me his real side

on 1/12/2007 I've dated a Cancer male--and I LAUGH at all this crap about them being "emotional" and "intuitive" and "loving" blah blah blah. My ex was NONE of those things. I could cry and scream and sob and stomp--and he'd wonder: "What's wrong? Could she be sad about something?" TRULY an imbecile where noticing/tuning in to even my OBVIOUS emotions were concerned--AND he was TERRIBLE!!! at expressing his OWN feelings. Expressing emotions/feelings was always a TERRIBLE/DIFFICULT thing for him (even expressing the TINIEST thing was a huge problem for him). And I do NOT exagerate! Sure, he was kind and gentle and loyal (ok, on a positive note, I respected his loyalty to the maximum) and all of that--but he was horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE with ANYTHING to do with emotions of expressions of feelings. I rarely felt truly "loved" or "appreciated" with him--because he'd rarely verbally express it (again, he had MAJOR issue with expressing feelings). I have to say, my relationship with a Cancer male was one of THE MOST unfulfilling relationships I have EVER been in...
