Make Him Feel at Home

To a Cancer man, home and security are a really big deal. Wherever he is, try to make him feel at home. Even if he traveled someplace new and unfamiliar to visit you at your place, try to make him comfortable.

When you go out of your way to make a Cancer man feel secure and at home, he will take note of this. He will feel at ease with you and the connection he feels for you will be strengthened.

He will also be more likely to chase you because he’s actually chasing the feeling of comfort and security that he now associates with you. You’ll become like a drug to a Cancer man.

He’ll see you as his biggest support and source of comfort. Even better, if you can get him to feel like his home is not complete without you, a Cancer man will want to make you a fixture in his life.

Keep Him Slightly Unsatisfied

If you think you’re seeing signs a Cancer man is playing you, he’s probably just insecure and unsure about himself still. Be patient but don’t be too revealing. Cancer men need to know they have a chance with you.

Yet if you leave him wanting more after every text, phone call and date, you are putting the ball in his court. By refusing to be too transparent and open, you’re compelling a Cancer man to take initiative.

This will lead him to put more effort into chasing you. Be careful with this tactic. If you act too disinterested, a Cancer man will feel rejected and he won’t bother trying. He needs to feel there is potential and then given the chance to pursue you.

If you chase him, give too much or do all the work in the relationship for him, he may get comfortable with you. But he’ll be comfortable not having to show as much initiative, instead of chasing you.

Nurture Him

If you want to know how to make a Cancer man miss you, the key is to be his source of emotional comfort. When he associates you with security, he’ll feel like he’s losing a piece of himself when you’re not around.

Remind Him of His Mother

Weird Freudian references aside, Cancer men really do fall in love with women who remind them of their mother. It’s important to not only be accepted by his mom, but in some way, be like her.

Even if the resemblance is the way you treat him or the food you cook for him. Remind him that you are a source of comfort just like his mother. You don’t have to go all out and try to look like her.

Find some small way that you can foster a connection with her. Create a visual or verbal cue or association so that your Cancer man will think of his mother and feel nurtured and secure with you.

Keep His Secrets

If you want a Cancer man to chase you, be the best confidant he’s ever had. Keep all of his secrets and don’t expose his vulnerability. Let your Cancer man know you have good boundaries.

When you are discreet with his most private information and stories, he will feel secure and at ease with you. Always show a Cancer man that you can be trusted. Don’t gossip about others around him.

If you do, he’ll assume it is only a matter of time until you start gossiping about him. Also, don’t badmouth your exes. He will again make the assumption that someday if he is your ex, you’ll tell all his stories to someone else.
