Hi, pisces male here who has met a cap. woman online about a month ago. Some additional background: we are both single parents as well. I had never been into astrology much before but in the last year have found there is some truth to the personalities of each sign. She seems true to what I have read about cap. women: ambitious, has her priorities in order, works hard, does not share feelings much, etc. We have communicated pretty much everyday usually by text. She is not one for a lot of texting, more than one or two a day (which is what I keep it to) which seems to be another trait of caps. We have spoke on the phone a few times. We met the first time for coffee and 3 hours went by like it was 5 minutes. When we left I told her I definitely wanted to see her again and she did too and we hugged. The second date was supper at a nice restaurant and the night ended with a kiss and us holding each others hands and staring into each other's eyes. I know she is interested. Today I left a note in her mailbox telling her what I admired about her...nothing too romantic, just wanted to let her know I was definitely interested in her. She texted "she came home to a sweet letter in her mailbox".
I have read that cap. women will take a while to warm up to a man and to be patient and that they also may like their alone time. That is fine but what I am concerned with is that from time to time I see that she has been on the dating website. I wonder if she is still deciding on me, or if she is checking if I am online? I have read that caps can be insecure and not looking for a "player" so maybe she wants to make sure that I am not dating 20 women at once. I'm not, I only want to date her!
My thinking is if she was not interested I would have stopped hearing from her and the note I left today would have been a turn off. Am I on the right track? She is so awesome! I like to do random romantic acts but am afraid of coming on too strong for her.

You are correct. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Don't worry about her online activity. It's only been a few dates and less than two months. It takes me at least three months of dating someone before I'm sure I want to continue with the relationship, before I'm sure about someone. Just keep building the foundation and keep going at a progressive pace.

Thanks for the input. The encouragement from complete strangers is very comforting! I know this may be a challenge but I am up for it and have learned from my past not to rush things, but I think a lot and get antsy sometimes.
She texted this morning to confirm we are going to get together this week so that was nice....I usually don't expect to hear from her during the day while she is at work. Also, when I dropped off the letter in her mailbox yesterday, I noticed that her walkway and deck were covered with ice and snow so I popped by and cleared them both for her today. Hope she likes that but I will save the next random act for a bit now. Clearing the snow seemed like a practical (and safe) thing to do. I'll get a better read on where she is at before I do anything more romantic.
Thanks again, I'll provide an update in a few days.

good to know, thanks, i'll go grab my tools.....
how much does a man's profession or place in his company's hierarchy matter to the average cap. woman?




*****That doesn't matter in the whole grand scheme of things. If you're a good man who is responsible, loving, loyal, and capable that's good. You don't have to be rich or make tons of money, you just have to have ambition, and can provide security for a family one day.

Date 3 was nice, more relaxed and more laughter tonight. I asked her out again for next week and she said yes so happy about that and the night ended with a kiss. She was dressed very nice again.
Saw she went online again late tonight......I know I shouldn't worry too much but it does bother me. I dont want to ask if she is dating anyone else......ugh. Need some reassurance! I really like this girl.

Caps need a man who makes things clear. U want that woman? U dont want her to date others? Good than make things serious and man up the situation. Tell her that you dont want to date other woman and ask if she feels the same about dating exclusive.

My cap and I also met online. After a week he posted pictures of us on his profile, wrote "thanks lovoo" and then we decided to delete our profiles! I'd never ever delete my profile if he didn't make that serious move. And of course I was checking out if he was online after our dates. Turned out he did the same lol

Go for it and dont hesistate like a girl. Sorry, I dont want to be mean just encouraging you to man up the situation. Dont be like the invisible elf that does the work magically without her knowing. It could creep her out that u show up at her house uninvited more than once. Once is sweet but more than that it gets creepy.

U got this 🙂 show her that u are confident and sure about what u want. There's almost no way in losing for u.

Yep and she could see HIM on line and be thinking the same thing.

Yes that has crossed my mind....she could be thinking the same thing! I have heard some caps could have some insecurity? If that is what she is doing I would be very flattered actually. I am going to remove my profile and maybe she will see that as a sign. I am definitely not looking for anyone else right now so there is no need to keep it. Last night was good and her agreeing to go out next week again are very good signs to me and I am probably over thinking things as usual.

My aqua and I connected on a dating site. After about two months of dating, I hid my profile. A few weeks after that he volunteered that he deleted his. Then I deleted mine.

I missed this question.

Honestly, it depends on your age. Of course, when you're young and starting out with a career, we wouldn't expect you to be high up in the hierarchy at work. As long as you are focused and have a career drive, that's all that matters. Potential, drive, ambition/desire to move ahead - that gets our attention. Dead end job with no opportunity for advancement and no desire to do something about that - that wouldn't get my attention.

Then, at my age, late 40s, it is essential to have that established career path and be somewhere with your career. It's not about money, it's more about work ethic and having achieved something with your life, being respected in your field and having a solid reputation with your peers.

I meant to add that if you remove yours, just volunteer to her that you did. That would let her know that you're no longer looking without having to have a heavy conversation about it. In my situation, Gotta love the aqua for staying true to form and keeping it light!! 🙂
That makes sense. I deleted it this morning and will casually mention it to her in a bit. i just have to pace myself with her I think. She has been single a long time so she has her life in order but she must like me. I don't expect her to be too forward with her feelings yet though.

That was so thoughtful of you. Gosh! That makes my heart melt. Hope it was the same for her.

Capricorns always take note of little details like these. If you are consistent in your behaviour, it won't take her long to commit.

Clearly, you are loved by all the Capricorns on this thread. You must be doing all the right things. 🙂

Actually she never mentioned anything about it.....she is kind of like that. I think from what I have read and heard that should be expected for now and will take a while for her to be able to open up. I have lots of ideas of things I want to do to show her I like her but think I have to pace myself and not do too much too soon. Each time we have gone out she is more outgoing and more laughter. But she is pretty independent, has been single for a long time so I have to respect her need for her own time, she is busy with work, a course and her son. I love her ambition and I know I am not at the top of the priority list....but I want to work my way up! I just am afraid of making it seem like I am in a rush....I honestly am not but it is nice to get some perspective on what I can expect, but I do hope things continue to progress! I am going to continue to be a gentleman (I am, not faking it!), give her space and not bombard her with texts and phone calls, and just drop the odd random hint about how I feel.

Personally, I think you are making all the right moves. A lot also depends on what she is looking for right now. For instance, when my Capricorn friend was asked out by her Taurus husband, she asked him what his expectations were. He told her he was looking for a casual relationship. She told me how upset she was because she was hoping he had said he wanted a serious relationship.

Most Capricorns, including myself, don't spend our time dating someone we don't see a future with. I don't know if others are going to agree with me on this, but at the outset of a relationship itself, we have decided whether the person is a perfect match for us. We may be slow in expressing our feelings, but mentally we commit faster than other signs. That's because we know what we're looking for in a man - financially secure, emotionally available, dependable, well educated with a good job...basically a family guy.

Capricorn women can be very demanding though. I hope you are mentally prepared for that. Also, we can never completely give up control. Dominating her mentally is out of question. I'm sharing this here because most men find this hard to deal with.

If all other requirements are met, we are not that hard to land really. We like consistency, so there's no pressure to be creative with us. We don't like surprises either. Just show us you are solid, dependable & consistent.
Thanks. Well her profile said something like she was not in a rush for a relationship but would love to find someone to date and go from there. We have had 3 dates with the 4th planned coming up next week. I doubt she has decided I am the perfect match already....I don't even know that but I think she is awesome so far. I have to take the continued dates as a positive. Just have to understand and get used to minimal communication in between.
When I say surprises I don't mean jumping from behind a tree with roses...I was thinking along the lines of making a dessert from her favorite cookbook or something like that.
As far as being consistent, would this include communication? I usually send a quick "hi how are you" text once a day. If I missed a day or two in a row, how would that be seen? Would it be seen as me being aloof or would she think "that's nice he is thinking of me". I am not into games, but don't want to be a pest if she is not needy in that way...and she doesn't seem to be.
I feel I do offer the financial security, great career, good day stuff so hope she sees that!
