Types of a Cancer Man’s Eye Contact
A Cancer guy will have eight types of eye contact with you. Each eye contact has its significance and meaning.
1. No Intentional Eye Contact
This type of eye contact happens when a Cancer man knows little about you because they take a while to get along with new people. However, if it seems that Cancer is putting effort into preventing eye contact, it might mean he’s hurt by something you’ve said.
2. Unintentional Absence of Eye Contact
You haven’t gotten his attention when a Cancer man unintentionally avoids eye contact. Maybe your conversation doesn’t interest him, or he is shy of you.
3. Glance (Unintentional)
An unintentional glance is when a Cancer man looks at you and immediately looks away; it’s an unconscious act in which he is unaware of what he is looking at.
4. Slight Glance (Intentional)
It is the first type of eye contact when you successfully make a positive impression on a Cancer man.
The Cancer man would consciously glance at you and immediately look away, possibly due to shyness or awkwardness. But this eye contact registers something to him.
According to studies, if a person breaks eye contact with you by looking down, he is attracted to you. On the contrary, if the person breaks eye contact by looking to the side, he is uninterested.
5. Double Glance
A double glance happens when you make eye contact with the Cancer guy, and he looks away. You look at him for a few seconds, and he looks at you again.
A double glance is a mini-conversation between you and the Cancer guy; it’s a subtle effort to make you comfortable with each other.
It’s a sign when you encounter a double glance or more with a Cancer guy.
6. The Cancer Gaze
Gaze is different from all of the above-mentioned types of eye contact. It happens when a Cancer guy looks at you and consciously keeps looking for 2-3 seconds.
A gaze happens when you appeal to a Cancer by your looks, nature, preference, or personality.
Also, if a Cancer man combines his gaze with a smile, it’s a direct signal of interest.
7. Eye Contact signaling sexual invitation
Eye contact signaling sexual invitation happens when a Cancer man makes eye contact, smiles, and never stops looking.
It is the as much interest as a Cancer man can display with eye contact alone.
When a Cancer man makes this eye contact, he wants to have sex with you. But that mostly happens when you’re dating him for a while.
Did you know!
The psychologists of the 1960s studied how our pupil dilates when we are aroused. This arousal could stem from sexual, emotional, or aesthetic interest. That is why faces with dilated pupils are more attractive.
8. Dreamboat eye contact
Dreamboat eye contact is the extreme level of affection displayed through eye contact. It is like the eye contact Romeo and Juliet made when they met.
A Cancer man would make a dreamboat eye contact when he falls in love with you.
Observations have shown that dreamboat doesn’t happen unless you have sex with the Cancer guy.
Consider the Context of Your Eye Contact With the Cancer Man
If you have had eye contact with a Cancer man, keep the context in perspective to better understand this.
For instance, during a professional meeting, the Cancer man might make eye contact so that you remember his words. According to a study done by the University of Wolverhampton and the University of Stirling, eye contact makes people remember what they heard.
Similarly, if you meet a Cancer doctor who holds eye contact for inspection, that was also not a display of interest.
The easiest way to judge is that there should be no apparent reason for eye contact. The Cancer man must be staring at you for no reason. Then we can say he might be interested in you.
Your Relationship Nature With the Cancer
The third important thing that you should consider while assessing a Cancer man’s eye contact is the nature of your relationship with him.
- Since Cancer men value serious relationships, if they are already committed to someone, their eye contacts are rarely a display of interest.
- Similarly, Cancer men are reluctant to open up with a stranger. If you’re a stranger to him, his eye contact means he’s sizing up you.
Consider how much you know about each other; familiarity makes you comfortable with your partner.
Eye Contact is more intimate than words can ever be.
