10 Signs a Cancer Man is in Love with You

Each sign of the zodiac has its own way of expressing love, and some methods are more clear than others.

If a Cancer man offers to walk you to your car or help you hang a shelf, is he just being friendly or does it mean something more?

By looking at the traits of his zodiac sign, you can determine how a Cancer man shows his love and whether or not he is falling for you.

1. He Stares at You All the Time

A Cancer man can be shy and insecure, so it’s sometimes hard to tell whether or not he’s into you. His bashfulness makes it hard for him to approach a woman he finds attractive.

But if you capture his attention or he has feelings for you, he won’t be able to stop himself from staring at you.

He may lock eyes with you from across the room and smile, or just quietly observe you without engaging. He is watching to see what he can learn about you and he thinks you are stunning.

If you keep making eye contact every time you look at him, your Cancer man has a crush on you. When he can’t take his eyes off of you, it’s one of the signs of a Cancer man in love.

2. He Protects You

Cancers are very protective of their loved ones, including their friends, family, and significant others. A Cancer guy in love will protect his partner before anyone else, including himself.

When a Cancer man loves a woman, he wants to do everything in his power to make sure she is sheltered and comfortable. He might even come off as overbearing or controlling in his attempts to keep you safe.

If you shiver, he gives you his jacket. If you cry, he is there with a tissue and a hug. If your feet hurt, he will massage them and then carry you on his back wherever you want to go.

There is no limit to what a Cancer guy will do to keep the woman he loves secure and happy. If he is protective and takes care of you, your Cancer guy is probably in love.

3. He Wants You to Meet His Family and Friends

The sign of Cancer is in the fourth house of the zodiac, which is the house of home and family. This means that family is of particular importance to a Cancer man.

A Cancer guy is reluctant to date somebody that his family dislikes. Their opinion means a lot to him and he wants everyone to get along.

One of the signs a Cancer man is serious about you is if he introduces you to his family, especially his mother. If his mother likes you, it’s a big deal to him.

If he wants you to meet his family, he really wants to see how well you fit in and if his family approves of you.

If he wants to meet your family, it means he is trying to get to know you on a deeper level. He wants to make a good impression on your relatives and learn more about who you are.

If you can win over a Cancer man’s family, then you have his heart forever. He won’t introduce his relatives to just any girl, so if you are meeting his parents, it means your Cancer guy is falling in love.

4. He is Affectionate

Each sign has a unique way of expressing love, and for Cancer, touch is a significant expression of his feelings.

Hugs, kisses, and cuddles are how a Cancer man shows love. He can’t keep his hands off of his partner and wants to be in almost constant physical contact.

His affection isn’t limited to sexual contact. He also uses touch to show love for his friends and family.

A Cancer man is touchy-feely, and he won’t shy away from a hug, high five, or a kiss on the cheek.

If he looks for reasons to touch you, it means he wants to be close to you both physically and emotionally.

5. He Takes Care of You

Cancers are very nurturing and enjoy taking care of their loved ones. Cancers are often known as the “mothers” of their friend groups, as they are the ones who try to make sure everyone is healthy and happy.

One of the signs a Cancer man is falling in love with you is if he tends to your needs and takes care of you.

If you are sick, he will rush over to bring you soup. If you need a ride, he is there in a second to pick you up. If you’re job searching, he will give your resume to anyone he knows is hiring.

But a Cancer man won’t go out of his way like this for just anyone. His nurturing side comes out when he truly cares for someone, so if he takes care of you, know it’s a sign of his love.

6. He Plans a Future With You

Each zodiac sign has a symbol that exemplifies its core personality traits and psychological characteristics. The Cancer symbol is the crab.

Cancers fear rejection and guard their hearts as fiercely as a crab protects itself with the hard shell on its back.

A crab is so vulnerable that it carries its home everywhere it goes so that it always has a safe place to retreat.

A Cancer man will resist falling in love with a woman until he feels safe and secure with her. Only then will he start planning a future and picturing their lives together.

If a Cancer guy starts talking to you about buying a house, marriage, and kids, it’s one of the clear signs a Cancer man is in love.

7. He Gets Jealous and Possessive

Some signs are prone to jealousy, while others are unbothered by a little romantic competition. Some even like to make their partners jealous to spice up the relationship.

Cancer is a sign that gets jealous easily and a Cancer man can’t stand the thought of his lover with another man.

Rather than making him proud that you are attractive to so many people, if someone else flirts with you a Cancer will either sadly retreat from you or angrily fight even harder for your love.

A Cancer man madly in love is covetous and possessive. If he pouts when you talk to other guys or sulks when you mention another man’s name, it means he likes you as more than a friend.

8. He Always Wants to Be With You

Cancers love being around their partners at all times, to the point that they can come off as codependent and clingy.

A Cancer man in love wants to be around his girl constantly. Even if he is just running errands or laying on the couch, any activity is so much better if his loved one is with him.

If he persistently tries to make plans with you or always seems to show up where you are, your Cancer guy is probably in love with you.

He wants to be near you and spend as much time with you as possible simply because you make him happy.

9. He Defends You

Another one of the signs a Cancer man has feelings for you is when he takes your side in arguments or conflicts.

If he is a coworker and always speaks up in your defense at meetings, he might be romantically interested in you.

If you are in an argument with one of his friends, he will defend you, even if he thinks you are wrong.

When a Cancer man loves a woman, he will have her back, no matter what. If he defends you even when you are indefensible, it’s a sure sign that he has feelings for you.

10. He Spoils You

Cancer men are typically very frugal and good at saving money. They are careful with their spending and won’t waste money on anything unnecessary.

While a Cancer man may not be tempted to splurge on himself, there is no item too luxurious or expensive for the woman he loves.

He might wear the same old sneakers for years, but he’ll buy his girlfriend designer label shoes. He’ll order the cheapest appetizer on the dinner menu for himself so his date can get the lobster special.

When a Cancer man is in love, money is no object. He throws his usually careful approach to spending out the window when it comes to the woman he loves.

He if he buys you presents, pays for your drinks, and is generally eager to spend on you and spoil you, you can bet that your Cancer man is head over heels in love.
