Cancer in Love
June 21 – July 22
Dating style, long-term needs, and compatibility, straight from Cancer's chart.
Cancer Dating Style
Cancer in love is all in or all out. They don't do casual well. A Cancer who is texting you back is a Cancer who has already started imagining how you'd fit into their family Sunday dinner, even if they would never admit it out loud.
What Cancer Needs From a Partner
They're slow to confess feelings, fast to commit once they do, and almost impossible to dislodge from a relationship they've decided matters. They are nurturers, sometimes to a fault. A Cancer in love will cook for you, remember your weird allergies, learn your sister's name, and notice when your hoodie is starting to fall apart.

Common Cancer Relationship Pitfalls
Consistency helps more. Surprise gestures help most. A partner who learns to say "I'm not going anywhere" out loud, and then proves it through unflashy daily behavior, is a partner who gets the very best of what a Cancer has to offer.
