“Just wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re having a good day! 😊”[1] X Expert Source John KeeganDating Coach Expert Interview. 5 November 2019. “I was missing you today! Hope all is well. ♥️” “Good morning, handsome! ☀️ Any day is great with you around. "
“That pic you posted to Instagram was adorable! You looked so handsome. 😍” “You give such good advice, and it’s because you care about other people—more than anyone else I know! You’re amazing. " “You’re so easy to talk to. I feel like I could tell you anything! Thank you for making me feel comfortable. ♥️” “I love the way you put words together!"[4] X Expert Source John KeeganDating Coach Expert Interview. 5 November 2019.
Add a smiley face to some texts. “Let’s chat today” could be misinterpreted as severe or unenthusiastic, whereas “Let’s chat today! 😊” makes your text more friendly and appealing. Use emojis just to make your text a little cuter. “My dog says hi! I think he misses you. 🐶” Emojis can also make it clear when you’re flirting. “I really like getting to know you! 😍” or “You’ve been on my mind a lot today…and it’s 9 AM. 😉” Use GIFs your Cancer will find funny. If you both love Friends, start sending GIFs from the show with a few of your texts (including the classic Joey “How you doin’?” GIF when you’re feeling flirty).
“I had an excellent conversation with my dad today! We don’t talk a lot, so it made me super happy. 🥲” “Not so great, actually. I’ve been pretty upset today—this co-worker is really getting me down. Could we talk about it?”
“Hey you! 😊 Just checking in. How’ve you been this week?” “I know you were kinda dreading your family dinner this weekend, so I thought I’d see how you were doing. Wanna talk?” “I just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you. ♥️”
“Can I tell you something if you promise not to share it with anybody else?” “Want to know a secret? 🤫” “I have something important to tell you, but it’s just between you and me, okay?”
“This song makes me think of you every time I hear it! ♥️” “I’ve been waiting all day to see you! Dinner is gonna be so much fun. 😊” “Miss me? I’ve been missing you for sure! 😘”
“Since we both love Ted Lasso, let’s watch the new episode together! 🤠 Are you free this Friday evening?” “Any lunch plans today? I thought we could meet up somewhere and eat together. 😁” “Want to grab coffee this Saturday? And for the record: this is me asking you out. 😉” Even if your Cancer is busy when you suggest, don’t worry. When he likes you, he’ll be quick to find an alternative time to see you.
“Just wanted you to know I’m still single, and I’m only interested in one person. Guess who? 😘” “Nobody gets me like you do! I’ve never connected with someone so easily before. ♥️” “I deleted OkCupid as soon as we matched since I didn’t need it anymore—I found the guy I was looking for. 😍”
While Cancers love affection, double-texting can make you seem overeager too soon. Unless it makes sense to send multiple texts, let your Cancer guy reply before sending a follow-up text.
After sharing a good joke, text, “It’s been so fun to talk with you, but I actually have to run! 😭 Let’s do this again soon, okay?” “Thank you so much for the pep talk! I’ve gotta get back to work, but let’s pick this up again soon. 😘”
