When a Cancer Man Ignores You?
Keep in mind that Cancer man cannot cope with confrontation well.
Therefore, the moment he’s ignoring you, the first reason is probably because you have said or done something that upset him. He won’t let you know; instead, he tends to stay quiet for awhile but it will not last for a long term.
He is not the type that will give you the cold shoulder forever. But if you don’t find a solution for this issue, misunderstandings will arise between you and him more and more.
This man will open up and even share his emotions when he completely feels comfortable with you.
Nonetheless, there are times when he may throw a fit in protest to whatever making him upset about rather than icing you out. In the situation for him to ignore you, then what you did to him would probably be over the line.
In case you have a crush on him initially but he has no idea and acts distant towards you, then don’t mind finding a way to let him know. Cancer men are sometimes dense in recognize a woman’s feelings.
He really needs a sign to make sure whether or not you want him.
What to Do If a Cancer Man Ignores You?
If you want to date a Cancer male, then you need to be optimistic.
As a person with Cancer soul, he often brings what called ?Cancer man disappearing act‘ on the surface. Very sensitive and unable to handle criticism, he easily gets unsatisfied and disappointed if being reproached.
For a long-term relationship with this guy, you need to know how to love him the right way. The Cancerian man enjoys being pampered a lot as well as sweet conversations; also give him sincere and nice complements.
The truth is: he will get back to you later if he’s truly into you.
Below, I’ve offered a list of tips to handle a Cancer man gone quiet:
- Take the initiative in making phone calls, sending emails and planning a date rather than waiting for your Cancer man. Don’t expect him to set the first move as he prefers the passive role in a relationship.
- Honestly express your feelings frequently and sincerely toward him, even if you are sensing anxious and fear deep inside. Emotional and sensitive, he appreciates topics related to feelings. Be more open to him and the emotional level between you two will grow stronger.
- Give him sentimental gifts because this guy needs the reassurance from you. Remember to make him feel loved and treasured most of the time. He really appreciates gifts that you prepare with fully meaningful devotion.
So rather than waiting your Cancer man to reply or return with a normal treatment, you should be the one take the first move and look up for things to do to heal your relationship with him.
What Does He Think When Ignoring You?
1. He is stressful and not want to tell anyone
Cancer man may not a person of drama, but he tends to run or hide when a major stress occurring in his life.
Or, what you are doing to him provides him no safety and security ? 2 important elements in a relationship with a Crab. Put it simply, understanding this man well is a need, since you have to make him feel secure before requiring him to care for you.
A Cancer may become stressful due to a number of reasons.
Like:
- Suddenly losing his job
- Having problems with his family members
- Failing his exams or failing to get a job
- Feeling pressured with his current relationships
As much as you want your Cancer man to be honest with you, then be real to him.
2. He is not aware of his ignoring act
As I told you above, Cancer man is reserved and tends to stay in his own shell. Therefore, maybe it’s just because he is not interested in talking. Sometimes, he is not even aware that he’s ignoring you.
Don’t jump to the conclusion quickly!
He rarely communicates with you doesn’t mean he does not love you anymore.
Whenever you notice a drastic change in his attitude with you, please give him his private space to think about everything (his current thoughts, his feelings to you, etc.) rather than forcing him to explain.
3. He is afraid of calling you due to his own insecurity
His fragile ego is the main reason making him unable to accept the idea of showing his vulnerable side to his loved one in any shape of form.
Most Cancer men are insecure yet they will never admit they’re insecure.
Your Cancer craves for a relationship that can provide him both safety and security. He doesn’t like getting involved in situations that could threaten him or put him in harmful ways. That’s why he is likely to avoid any conflict.
Even if he really likes you, he will try to not be the one taking the initiative.
Final Thoughts
Unexpectedly, a Cancer man is a tenacious and strong-willed person.
Don’t get worried too much when he acts distant. Simply give him time to arrange everything in his mind and do your own stuff.
So if you want to have your Cancer man for keeps, you are advised to give him a peaceful and comfortable relationship. Importantly, always show up whenever he needs you. Love him with sincere and honesty and you can be sure to obtain the most fulfilling of relationships.

Hi Laura
I am with cancer guy for three years and we were in long distance relationship. From few days back he is ignoring my calls and messages, he is blocking and unblocking me again and again. The story started like My family have no idea that I’m with a guy for a so long time and they are looking a man for me that’s why I told my family that we were together since three years and my family wants to see him and he said he isn’t ready yet. More than that it’s me who asked him to block me many times he shows no care. What should I do now.? He isnt showing any interest like before.. I really want him back.
Dear Loma,
Well you cannot pry him out of his shell that is for sure. A bit of tenderness and reassurance and you can get him to talk to you again. Also, even though we hate confrontation, you should see him face to face. Remind him that there is nothing to worry about, Cancers are very emotional and we are very humble, too humble at times. Give him a week or so, let him think it through and then confront him about what is wrong and simply talking it out and understanding will save what you have.
Sincere!
Hi Laura,
My cancer man just starting ignoring me two days ago. We?ve been talking for about 4 months. Long distance. So we haven?t met each other just yet. He?s the one who reached out to me and found me twice. He?s expressed that he was interested serval times and definitely finds me attractive. We planned on us meeting so a couple of weeks ago but my flight got cancelled 3 times bc of the weather. So we have been trying to reschedule. Communication is important to me as I am a Gemini. We text and call each other mostly text ever day short conversation. He sends me good morning texts. We call each other from time to time. But I seem to carry the conversation. He?s definitely guarded. I give him compliments all the time. Sometimes I feel as though he?s attracted to me but not interested based off his lack of asking me questions to get to know me. Recently I wanted to do something nice for him so I invited him on a weekend vacation to Mexico. He said he was down so I being to plan. He said call before you book so I called him that night. And we were planning and looking through flights. Then 20 mins in I felt a little change in his voice. So I said that I didn?t want to make him uncomfortable and at any time if he feels as though he?s not comfortable then he can let me know. So he goes on to say that he?s antennae?s are going off since he?s never met me and that we?re going to another country. But either way we?re both taking a risk in my eyes. Especially since we both live in different states. I said okay and if he wanted to reschedule just me coming to him again to just let me know and told him I was going to bed and ended the call. I sent a voice text a couple minutes later just to apologize if I made him feel uncomfortable for suggesting that and to let him know that I?m just spontaneously and like to have fun and do things out of the box and I maybe a little different from the girls he may have dated. And said i hope he didn?t feel any type of way or if he did and doesn?t want to talk to me anymore he could let me know. Then I said he can simmer on it. But it?s been 2 days and he hasn?t responded to my voice message and hasn?t text me good Morning. And being a Gemini the worst thing you can do is ignore us. So should I wait him out or initiate a call or text to ask him how he?s feeling and if he wants to continue a friendship with me???
Dear Sharese,
This man doing a disappearing act just sounds like a guy who either isn’t interested, is confused, or something is going on in his personal life. They would never ignore a woman on purpose. They’re usually very attached.
From what I know about Cancer men, they just like to have a bit of space once in awhile from others, do so to recollect through their thoughts about the relationship, it’s not that they are skeptical about the relationship, they just like taking things slow, smooth and steady. Often times they ignore because they want to. If they like you, they take things even more slower. So don’t take it to heart. Also, don’t forget they’re moody, that’s a factor to the hot and coldness.
So it depends on what happened in you & your Cancer situation.
Sincere!
I have been with my Cancer boyfriend for 6 years this is the first time we have really had problems. It’s not easy cause I’m a Aries yes I know! We are both older and I’m crazy about him, this article helped a lot and I think now I know just what to do to get us back on track. The article made me worry a little cause of saying once it goes wrong that’s that but after a resent brake up he came to me and said he had feelings for me and needed me in his life. Sounds like that’s a big step for him. Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome, Sonia
I’m so glad the info can help you and your relationship with a Cancer man.
Love!
Hello Laura ,
3 moths I am dateing a famous cancer man from another country . He was so nice and call text me all the time. We decided to meet each other my sisters husband lives in the same country as him. I decided to visit together with my sis. When we arrived he told me that we can?t stay in the apartment that we booked too public for him. He moved us to a private house bought us food . I had sex the first night we meet after talking to each other 3 months constantly. Was so magical . After that day he was so busy with an upcoming concert . I was able to see him two more times very briefly. He slept next to me did not even show affection I felt maybe he does not like me anymore. He told my sisters husband he loves me.. He told me he does not do good with crowd . So I was there and really did not see him much . We took pictures my sis posted them on social media he got so mad he says people use all this against him he felt betrayed. Was sooo mad. Two days later I send good morning he replied . But he told me if he can?t trust my sis how can he trust me. We still talked and texted not often but daily he never replied my sister?s apology even-though she never promised him not to post the pic she apologized and took the picture off immediately . Everything was good I told him I remember our first kiss and he has not replied 4 days . Does it means he wants nothing to do with me. He also asked for me to invest on a property at his county so we can see each other more. Have no idea I know he has a lot of kids maybe he was looking for someone rich ? I do well for myself but maybe he thought I was millionaire from USA . I am not sure he was so caring now I feel lost and very upset . Please advice . I appreciate.
Dear Natty,
Let him know he is loved and then back off. In time he may come around. As soon as you stop thinking about him and about to delete him from your phone, you’ll hear from him. If you guys have gotten into a fight then watch out, he may never come back. I think they are hard to forgive over a serious fight that has hurt them. Maybe when his feelings have settled you will hear from him. In the mean time, just go on about your life and do not contact him!
Sincere!
Im a taurus girl and my boyf is cancer. We?ve been together 1 year 1 month now. We?re having huge conflict right now we haven?t talk for almost 3 weeks other than he reply my text have a good day. I did text him first, i did told him i miss him, i did say i wanna work it out and he still completely giving me cold shoulder and he said he need some space. I asked him until when. He said ?you want me to explain (solve our problem) you have to wait? I dont know what i should do.. should i leave or stay
Hi dear,
Cancers are a tricky sign and usually say things fairly bluntly. He straight up told you he doesn’t see a future with you. In a typical nonsense way he already is saying there’s really no relationship.
Can you convince him otherwise? Maybe. But put things into perspective. Did he discuss future plans with you to know you don’t fit into his or did he already make that determination without your involvement? Since you seem confused about it, I can only assume he came to this conclusion on his own which will stay his opinion. Do you see a future with someone who makes decisions and conclusions for the relationship without allowing you to be included in those determinations? A strong relationship discusses the future and works towards goals together compromising to fulfill goals. To some extent anyway.
Sincere!
