10 Signs a Cancer Man is Ready to Commit

Because they are so moody and mysterious, understanding a Cancer man can be difficult at times.

How can you figure out if he’s ready to turn your friendship into a relationship, or take your relationship up another level?

By looking at the typical personality traits of his sign, you can get a better sense of whether or not your Cancer man is looking for a commitment.

1. He Introduces You to His Family

Each astrological sign has a unique placement on the zodiac wheel that reveals a lot about that sign’s psychological makeup. Cancer is positioned in the fourth house of the zodiac, the house of home and family.

This placement means that Cancers tend to be closer to their families than any other sign. Not only are they close with their parents and siblings, but they also want to have children and build their own families.

One of the signs a Cancer man is playing you is if you’ve been dating for a while and he still hasn’t introduced you to his family.

When a Cancer man is serious about you, he will want you to get to know his relatives and make you a part of his family.

Although meeting the parents is a big step in any relationship, it’s particularly significant to Cancer signs. If he takes you home for dinner with his family, it means he’s ready to commit.

2. He Introduces You to His Friends

One of the signs a Cancer man likes you more than a friend is when he introduces you to his group of pals.

Just as Cancers are extra close with their families, they also create a familial bond with their close friends. Cancers may even be accused of being “cliquey” because they stick to a tightly knit circle of people.

When a Cancer guy brings you into his group of friends, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s putting you in the friend zone.

He is probably trying to see how well you fit in and whether or not his friends like you. This can be intimidating, but it’s important to him that everyone gets along.

If you want him to commit to you, you have to make an effort with his friends. As long as you are gracious and polite, you should have no problem making a good impression on his buddies.

When he introduces you to his crew, it means he’s starting to get serious about you and wants to commit.

3. He Makes Space for You in His Home

Each zodiac sign has a unique symbol, often an animal, that encapsulates the distinct personality traits of that sign. The symbol for the sign of Cancer is the ocean crab.

Like the crab, which is so attached to its protective shell that it carries it everywhere on its back, a Cancer man values his home and personal space.

If he could take his house with him everywhere he goes, just like a crab, he would. He likes to keep his personal space clean and full of his favorite treasures, and won’t let just anyone into his sacred space.

One of the signs a Cancer man is serious about you is when he makes space for you in his home. He might clear out a drawer for you, let you hang your things in his closet, or ask for decorating advice.

When he lets you into his home and gives you your own space there, it means that having reminders of you around makes him so happy that he’s willing to give up his most prized possession: his house.

If a Cancer guy keeps your things at his place or suggests moving in together, it’s a huge sign that he is ready for commitment.

4. He Talks About the Future

Some signs will promise the world and tell their partners anything they want to hear, whether or not they have any intention of following through with their vows.

A Cancer man in love will talk to his partner about the future and get excited about making plans together. When he starts sharing his dreams for the future, it means he’s ready to commit to you.

If you’d like to know how to make a Cancer man want you, show him that you are ambitious and have goals for the future. When you’re in love, start including him in your plans, too.

Obviously, if you’re on a first date you shouldn’t necessarily talk about getting married or anything like that. But you could tell him that one day you want to get married to the right person.

If that still feels like too much, you could settle for making plans for your next date or telling him about your professional aspirations.

He wants someone who looks ahead and plans for the future, and when he puts you in his plans, it means he wants a commitment.

5. He Talks About Having Kids

One of the most obvious signs a Cancer man is ready to take things to the next level in your relationship is if he mentions having kids with you.

Because of his sign’s focus on family and home life, his dream is to find a partner to help him create a loving home and fill it with children.

If he talks to you about having children, even as a distant goal or an abstract idea, it means he is serious about you and sees you as his long-term partner.

When he brings up the possibility of having kids, it means he is moving towards a big commitment.

6. He Spends Money on You

As a sign that worries a lot and plans for the future, Cancers tend to be frugal and excellent at saving money.

Although they don’t like to spend much on themselves, Cancers are quite generous with others and will happily spoil their loved ones.

If he buys you that handbag you’ve had your eye on in the store window for ages or even just picks up your bar tab when you’re out with a group of friends, it’s one of the signs a Cancer man cares about you.

It might not be long before he makes the ultimate purchase for you, which is also the biggest symbol of his commitment: the engagement ring of your dreams.

7. He Tells You His Secrets

When you first get to know them, Cancers can be very guarded. They are careful with their words and watch what they say around strangers and acquaintances.

Once he trusts you, he will gladly open up and tell you his secrets, especially if you’re his romantic partner. He sees secrets as a currency that creates a loving bond between people when traded.

Because he can be so reluctant to open up at the beginning, you may find yourself wondering whether or not a Cancer man has commitment issues.

But this couldn’t be further from the truth; he has no problem committing to a romantic partner once he finds someone he truly loves and trusts.

The problem is getting close enough to him to get him to be honest and share his secrets. You can help give him a push in the right direction by telling a Cancer man how you feel.

When you tell him your secrets, he is more likely to reciprocate, which creates a bond between you and makes him more likely to commit.

This magic will make your Cancer man want a relationship with you.

8. He Wants to Be Around You All the Time

If he blows up your phone with calls and texts, always tries to make plans to get together, and wants to spend all of his free time with you, then your Cancer guy is on the verge of commitment.

Cancer men want to spend as much time as possible surrounded by their loved ones, especially their romantic partners. Being with you makes him happy, and he wants to feel that way all the time.

When he gets used to having you around, he will want to secure your relationship so that his source of joy is always there.

If you are spending lots of time with your Cancer man, it means that he will soon ask to be in an exclusive relationship or an even greater commitment.

9. He Supports You Unconditionally

One of the signs a Cancer man likes you is when he supports your endeavors, even when they go against his personal beliefs or preferences.

For example, if you have an argument with somebody and he really thinks the other person is in the right, he will still have your back and take your side.

It’s more important to him to be loyal and steadfast than to be right. He will even set aside his own feelings to support you in any way he can.

When you can count on your Cancer man in any situation, he is ready for a deeper commitment.

10. He Puts You First

When it comes to their loved ones, Cancers are generous and loyal to a fault. They will sacrifice anything for the people they cherish.

If a Cancer man wants to commit, he will put your wants and needs before his own. He’ll give you the shirt off of his back when you shiver, even if it means he will freeze.

This level of selflessness is one of the character traits that make Cancer men such wonderful partners.

If you are lucky enough to have a Cancer man who is ready to commit, then you have a guy who will always take care of you and put you first.
