Dear Love Dachshund,
I’m a single skeptic looking into Internet dating on
a friend’s advice. Will some real connection pan out, or will
it just be something I do for kicks? (Either one is fine.)
Dear Cancer,
Do I detect the protective, “I don’t care” armor you
Cancerians wear – much like we dachshunds sport our gleaming fur – when
you sense that rejection could be part of the deal? The AstroTwins tell
me that Cancers hate to feel vulnerable and will do anything to avoid
it. Dear Cancer human, we all deserve love, but it often requires risk.
Even as an adorable mini-dach, I’ve learned that I stand a better
change of getting kibbles or cuddling if I trot right up to a person and
avail myself. Step out of your Cancer shell and don’t hide. Try
the Internet, but don’t use it as an excuse not to mingle face-to-face.
Attend some events where you feel comfortable (a hobby group, a book reading) – but
not so safe that you already know everyone. Don’t hang in a clique,
which you Cancers are quick to form. We dogs know that if you want to
stand out from the pack, you should lead it! Take a leadership role in
a community or social group. You’ll feel more secure with an excuse
to contact people and chat ‘em up. Make sure you have a long list
of hotties to dial!
Dear Love Dachshund,
I'm a Cancer and I'm dating a fabulous Leo. He's the best
guy ever and I love him dearly. But I'm torn: should I relocate
to be with him? I love my life the way it is, and don't want to break
up with him but don't think I'm ready to give up my independence.
Help!
Dear Cancer,
Now that’s a dilemma! The Cancers I know are homebodies who hate
to leave their comfort zones. Commuting is too upsetting for your natural
balance. But is your reluctance about your “independence,” or
just avoiding change? The best route is to imagine yourself 10 years from
now. If you don’t try this relocation, will you regret it? And if
the relationship doesn’t work out, will you always wonder “What
if…?” If the answer is yes, pack all your cherished belongings
and try it for a year. You can always move back if it doesn’t work
out. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Cancers are also shy and keep a lot inside. Have you discussed this with
your Leo? Leos are ruled by the Sun, and they can forget that the world
doesn’t revolve around them. Though they can be bossy, they also
like to please their mates, to feel like heroes. Open up and share how
you feel. Who knows? Maybe if he knows how much you love your current
lifestyle, he’ll come your way instead. Leo is an independent fire
sign, so he may also be cool with the commuter arrangement. For Cancer,
home is where your stuff is. Bring a few of your favorite things to his
place and leave them there. It will help you feel rooted in the meantime.
