If you have a Cancer man in love with you, you’ll be happy to hear that they are known for their devotion, commitment, and protective nature for those who are close to them. These characteristics make them great companions as well as romantic partners.
However, this zodiac sign is a little reserved and perhaps secretive about their sentiments, and they don’t easily open up. As a self-defense mechanism, they tend to hide the true feelings of their heart. To truly connect with a Cancer man in a relationship, it’s important to understand his emotional depth. His nurturing side makes him a loyal partner and also highly attuned to the feelings of those he loves.
This post discusses the characteristics that a Cancer man might exhibit if he is in love with you.
