Signs a Cancer woman likes you
She checks how you are, invites you into her home or family world and looks after small needs before you mention them.
What puts a Cancer woman off
Carelessness with her feelings, inconsistency and partners who treat her caring as something owed.
The Cancer woman in a long relationship
Long-term she is loyal, nurturing and emotionally attuned, and she makes a relationship feel like home.
In an argument, and after a breakup
She reacts to tone as much as words, and hurt can come out as withdrawal or tears. After a breakup she needs emotional support and time before she can let go.
