At the same time, be aware that your tendency toward brutal honesty can sometimes wound the sensitive Cancer man. Be gentle with any criticism and package it with plenty of reassurance.
For example, if you see someone struggling to carry several bags of groceries, you might dash over and offer to help them. If you volunteer for the local animal shelter or regularly donate to a charity, it doesn’t hurt to talk those up as well. A Cancer will appreciate all that you do to help others in need. He’ll appreciate having a partner who hows how to give as well as receive. [5] X Expert Source Chloe Carmichael, PhDLicensed Clinical Psychologist Expert Interview. 29 May 2019.
For example, you might lean in closer to him and let your hand linger on his arm as you’re chatting. You don’t have to be over-the-top or dramatic with a Cancer man. In fact, if you’re too aggressive or obvious, you run the risk of pushing him away.
Don’t be afraid to go to him when you’re in a tough situation. He’ll be thrilled to help you out however he can. Be sure to tell him how helpful he was and how grateful you are. Cancerians can be insecure, so let him know just how much you appreciate him!
Talking about deep matters of philosophy, religion, beliefs, and life will help a Cancer man bond with you and feel that he understands who you are and what makes you tick. Feeling like he understands you helps keep his insecurities from surfacing and potentially getting the better of him.
A Cancerian also tends to be a great listener, so he’s the perfect person for you to spill your emotions, regardless of how illogical they seem. Your Cancer man will feel them right along with you and empathize wholeheartedly.
For example, you might ask him to help you open a jar or reach something on a high shelf. Asking for help is an easy way to show vulnerability and a Cancer man will always leap to help! Sharing your fears or anxieties is a good way to show him emotional vulnerability. Expect the emotional and empathetic Cancer to envelop you with warmth and love when you’re feeling vulnerable and exposed. By covering and protecting you, he’ll feel loved and needed. You don’t have to share all of your vulnerabilities with him at once, though. Opening your heart isn’t an all-or-nothing process—it’s okay to do it slow, nuanced way.

For example, if he holds the door open for you, you might say, “Such a gentleman! I love that about you!” As a Scorpio, your focus might be more sensual. Keep in mind Cancerians tend to need more emotional love.
As a Scorpio woman, you also tend to be deeply loyal, which a Cancer man will definitely appreciate. You can’t go wrong with an outing or date idea that has a nostalgic or sentimental bent. A Cancer man tends to enjoy vintage, so take him along thrift store shopping with you.
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, the way to a Cancer man’s heart is a home-cooked meal followed by an evening snuggled up on the couch together watching a movie or just talking about life. [16] X Research source
As a Scorpio woman, this shouldn’t present any problems for you, since you’re not into dating around. The Cancer man will more than fulfill your need for an intense bond with your romantic and sexual partners.
