How A Cancer Man Expresses Love? (7 Secret Ways)
1. He Spoils You
Do you find that your Cancer guy keeps spending money on you or doing very sweet things for you? Is he going out of his way to help you with something you needed?
A Cancer man expresses love by doing lots of little things for you because he wants you to see how much he adores you. He’s not playing with your feelings.
A Cancer man who is playing someone will not go out of his way like this. He will always want you to have the very best. He also wants to make your life easier in any way that he can.
I’m not saying he will always pay your bills or anything like that. He prefers an independent woman who can handle herself. He just wants to do things for you that make it easier for you to do that.
Whatever you do, do NOT deny any gifts he gives you. If you tell him no or to take it back, it will hurt him deeply. Accept his gifts and help. Give him praise and tell him how much you appreciate him. This goes a very long way.
2. He Makes You His Best Friend
If he relies on you to give him advice and you seem to be his “go-to” person, then this is a very lucrative sign that he’s in love with you.
He may not truly realize that the friendship is at the point of being in love with you, but that is the case. He’ll figure it out, but in the meantime, it’s a good sign for you to know how he feels.
Your Cancer crush will call you when anything happens or text you a lot to tell you about things happening in his life. He’ll care about what’s going on with you. He will also want to spend time with you.
Everything that you’ve ever known about a best friend, this is what the Cancer man does before he dives into an actual relationship. Being this close to someone is easier if he already “knows” you.
3. He Treats You With Respect
I mentioned how he wants you to be his best friend but, with you, he also listens to what you say. He retains things you’ve told him and this makes him intuitive toward you.
He pays lots of attention to you and wants to give you what you want. He gets on your social media a lot and leaves comments or likes. You’ll see how active he becomes when your Cancer man is in love with you.
Cancer men are known for putting their partner on a pedestal when they fall in love. Your Cancer guy will never want to do anything that will hurt you. If he does accidentally, he will feel awful and do everything to make it up to you.
4. Family Matters To A Cancer Man
Most Cancer men are family guys. They were born to create and appreciate family. That being said, he’s looking for his partner, his wife, and mother to his children.
When your Cancer man falls for you, he’s definitely going to ask you about your family and he will likely even ask to meet them somehow. It’s just as likely that he will want to introduce you to his closest friend circle, as well as his family.
It’s important to him that they all like you or approve of you. He’ll want you to bond with them if you are also in love with him. This forges his future plans that you will be part of.
After he’s met your family, he will reach out to them and try to bond because he figures they will be his family also in the future. This security is vital to the Cancer man’s life.
5. He Is Protective Of Your Heart
A Cancer man expresses love by protecting you at all costs. He cannot stand for you to be sad or upset. He will do whatever he feels he has to in order to make you feel better.
For no better way to put it, he wants to be your “doctor of love.” I don’t mean that in a sexual way – though trust me, a Cancer man loves sex. What I am talking about here is that if anyone upsets you, he wants to know who it was and where he can find them. He will return with flowers and dinner.
If anyone talks to you in a way he doesn’t like, he will say something. He may also have some jealousy. The jealousy is anyone trying to steal your time from him. If you made plans with friends on a night that he wanted to be with you, then he’ll definitely express his disappointment.
That is a HUGE way of him showing his love for you. The protective nature he has is something that comes out when he’s in love.
6. He Goes Above And Beyond For You
Another way that the Cancer man expresses his love for you is by doing things you asked him to do or doing things you didn’t ask for but he knew you needed it.
He might take your car to have it serviced or get an oil change because he recalls you mentioning it.
If you are sick, he’s the kind of guy who will bring you some chicken soup and maybe flowers. If you’re really lucky, he will come over and cook it from scratch.
Many Cancer men are fabulous in the kitchen. He prefers you to cook once you’re a couple but he will wow you with his best dishes. This man will do anything in the world for you so if you see this, you will know he is absolutely in love with you.
He doesn’t do this for anyone else but close friends and family. No other woman gets this from him. Trust it!
7. He Includes You In His Future Plans
Anytime he starts talking about doing future things and includes you in those plans, he’s in love with you. There is no other way to see this. You are part of his future and he’s letting you know it.
It’s another way of him showing you how special you really are to him. He may talk about a house, family, or other future trips you two will take.
When it gets to that point, he may go ahead and tell you that he’s in love with you because he doesn’t ever want to lose you. You are everything he wants in a partner and future family.
Hold onto that and appreciate him for everything he is to you. He will love you as long as you’re giving him the attention that he craves from you. This is a surefire way that the Cancer man expresses his love for you!
Stop Worrying About Your Cancer Man…
It can be SO painful to worry about how to make things work with a Cancer man who won’t commit.
I know. I’ve been there with many of my friends dating Cancer guys.
I remember my very close friend crying herself to sleep at night, worried that her man would never commit to her.
She lost sleep, time, and even work hours, all because she couldn’t figure out how to capture his heart and get him to commit.
As a friend, it was hard to watch her go through that.
But I knew how good he was for her, and I didn’t want her to give up on him.
Even when our other friends were telling her to move on, I could see that he was the most incredible man she had ever met.
How could she just give up on that?
But it wasn’t easy. It took a LOT of work…
She had to learn how to speak a different language… his love language…
And it worked!!!
So if you are ready to sleep like a baby…
Knowing your Cancer man is MADLY in love with you…
And never feel anxious about him again…
Go here now and learn how to speak Cancer man’s love language.

How do I get him to stop messing and making out with other women when we are out.
Hi Suzanne!
Whoa! If he’s doing that when you two are out then he has some secret desire to do these things. It also means a lack of respect if you aren’t into it. You need to decide if you can handle this or not. He’s not going to stop because you want him to. Have you tried telling him to knock it off or else? If you haven’t then try that but I have a feeling he really enjoys it too much. Trust your gut and do what is right for you. I wish you all the best!
My cancer man is vindictive and acts on his emotions. I believe with my heart that he loves me but it’s become way too much. What do I do?? In the beginning it was wonderful. I didn’t know how to take such a wonderful man I think I ruined it and now it’s falling apart.
Dear Michelle,
Perhaps Cancer’s worst toxic trait is manipulation. Cancer often feels powerless against the forces that surround it. People who feel powerless often turn to forms of manipulation to finagle some of that power back from those around them, whom they perceive to be in control of their moods.
Cancer may resort to guilt-tripping you, making idle threats, or intentionally blowing up minor problems. This can leave their partner feeling at the mercy of the Cancer’s moods and actions, which is totally unfair and mentally draining for the partner of the Cancer.
Sometimes, you just need to be patient with him and allow him to move through his emotions. Giving him some space to breathe can definitely help him calm down and reflect on the situation. Set your boundaries and let him know how it makes you feel when he resorts to toxic and manipulative behaviors. Be open with your communication and show him that you are a safe and secure person for him to open up to. Sending Love to you!
