10 Signs a Cancer Man is Serious About You

If you want to know the signs a Cancer man has feelings for you, watch what he does and what he says. He may say all the right things but not follow through.

He’s moody. Yet if you want to know if he’s serious about you, give him time to open up. When he does, he’ll go from aloof to obsessed.

A Cancer man falls in love fast. He tries hard not to because he doesn’t want to get hurt. He may give mixed signals at first. In no time at all, he’ll be head over heels in love.

1. He Introduces You to His Family

Even if your Cancer man was hiding his feelings at first, when he asks you to meet his family, you can rest assured you’re in good standing. He won’t do this unless he’s serious about you.

When a Cancer man invites you to meet his family, he’s letting you about as far into his inner circle as possible. This means he’s really interested and sees a future with you. He’s ready to commit and wants you to be part of the family.

When he’s not sure about you, he’ll hold back. In fact, a sure sign a Cancer man doesn’t like you is when he avoids bringing you around his family or friends. He can be shy, but usually he falls in love fast.

If he doesn’t do this it may be a sign that he’s not serious about the relationship or hiding something from you. It’s better to move on if he doesn’t introduce you to his family after you’ve been dating.

2. He Wants to Merge Finances

A Cancer man’s behavior when in love can be summed up by the phrase “all or nothing.” He’ll go from shy and cautious to wanting to dive right in. One of the early signs he’s serious will be evident in his financial plans.

When he’s serious about the relationship, a Cancer man will talk to you about money. His money, your money and your shared investments. You don’t even have to be engaged. He’ll talk about moving in and who will pay for what.

He may even give you access to his credit cards in case you have an emergency. On the romantic side, he’s trying to be protective and show he cares about you. On the creepy side, he’s also trying to use money to be a bit controlling.

He doesn’t easily discern the difference between romantic and controlling and having shared finances is one way he tries to act possessive. Yet he may also want to know that your financial goals are aligned before the relationship goes further.

3. He Talks About Marriage

When a Cancer man is serious about settling down he will also begin to talk about marriage. He’s cautious and wants to make sure you are on the same page when it comes to long term goals. He wants to be married and will make this clear.

He may be serious about you and just assume you have the same life goals. If he makes this assumption he may start talking as if marriage is one of your priorities and it can be overwhelming because it seems to come out of nowhere.

How long does it take a Cancer man to fall in love? Not long at all. He may fall in love at first sight or after a week. He may have created an ideal image in his mind which he projects onto you and therefore fell in love before he met you.

He falls fast and instantly goes about creating a settled life for the two of you. By the time he’s talking about these things, he’s already planned them out in his own mind.
