Friendship Profile
The
Crab is likely to send you frequent invitations to
dinner, Of course, they enjoy your company, but they
love it when you come over and complement them on
their house, decorations and excellent cooking skills.
They make loyal friends, so long as you do nothing to
betray their trust. If you can handle a super
emotional pal who is likely to call you up and cry
into the phone for no reason, you will have a devoted
buddy who is just as likely to arm themselves with a
box of tissues and come to your aid when you’re
feeling blue. Though the Crab would usually rather sit
around the house tending the garden and organizing
their bits of nostalgia, they will still occasionally
be in the mood to go out for dinner and a movie. As a
friend of a Cancer, you’ll never need to worry about
recording important events. Your favorite Crab will
always be there with a camera. As your friendship
grows, your Cancer buddy will likely invite you to
family dinners as a matter of course. A Cancer who is
hurt hurts deeply and for a long time, though, so take
care with the fragile emotions of your friend.
