I wrote some pervious posts about this capricorn guy I was.. maybe still is crazy about. To make a long story short things happened too fast and things got all crazy. After things died down and not talking for two months Ive found myself thinking about him, I called him out the blue and I went to go see him, gosh I dont know if it was the time spent apart or what but the attraction was just too intense lol After that visit I figured maybe I wasnt just all into my emotions and I really cared about this guy. I waited about a week to lay my cards on the table because I cant just wait id rather get the spill now

Of course he freaked out, I admit I thought people was over exaggerating but man he freaked out like he was in a batcave with monsters coming after him lol the conversation didnt go as I wanted it I got let down pretty easy, the whole im not interested in anyone at the moment, things are going so good in my life, blah blah blah. After a month of being bitter I decided to call him to see how he was doing (yeah I know I know) but I did say I cared right?

To surprising he answered the phone with such urgency, asking me how I been and was something wrong and could he do anything for me, previously I only called on an I need basis because he has told me before that I should call him when I need something or when I am in town because he doesnt like sitting on the phone. Anywho to cut my story I am so invested into this guy who doesnt know to be a douche bag or someone caring. Why are capricorns such greatness wrapped around in difficult

One of the many unanswered questions in life. I gave up after so many tries. for an aries (im an aries) the hot/cold relationship keeps the fire going for a while, years even. 6 years in my case. It got to the point where it was just way too frustrating. Capricorns make you wait FOREVER for their commitment. i ended up moving on to a scorpio & i love him more than i ever loved my ex cap. so much to the point that im not even interested in sustaining a friendship w. him.

Wonder if that hurts him ... i honestly dont think ill ever find out though *shrugs*

My Cap friend was over last night and he had my sis and I cracking up.

Some of the things that fly out of his mouth smh. After time, it makes you become extremely comfortable.

Same with my mothers Cap ex. Its as if they are real critical about things, yet it wears off and you find some of the most trully accepting men.

Not to say they wont still be annoyed, but i find Cap guys pretty raw, real, and accepting. I wonder if that comfort, if reached, is part of the reason? I cant think of anything else lol, jk.

They enjoy the chase, but get freaked out when u get too emotional. Caps have a way of cultivating your heart even when they are distant



Honestly Im not too sure if im even giving him a chase whenever I see him he gets all bright and friendly its hard to resist hell even when he is quiet hes hard to resist haha but I do know how to give him his "space" I start to crack after 3/4 weeks though

I think it's ok to send a hi I've been wondering how you are after 1-2 weeks that's more then enough space...
I normally crack after 2 days !! What's the secret of giving them space?

if u come from a more logical and confident position... you'll get a lot further

but emotion, and i-need-you-to-care attitude just makes us feel shitty bcz we feel like why don't u trust me, since those feelings come from a place of self-doubt.

We always want to be trusting and caring in ur eyes. It's kind of hard to explain. It's some reverse psychology shit. Because when people act that way with me...i feel shitty about myself like "why r u even doubting me? eeww I gotta run away now"



When I came from a confident position it almost felt like I was doing the chasing. I never had a I need you to care attitude with him just a where is this going attitude and thats gotten me a "relax" or a "dont pursue" me response that I mentioned earlier. With that being said being logical and confident seems like a waste because in my eyes there isnt anything to gain... maybe a friendship but not what I originally wanted. I could be wrong

@cowpuncher this might contradict what I just wrote but as far as being interested I know hes interested sexually no doubt I talked to him again this week and he even asked when was the next time I was coming to see him with some sexual hints into it, even gave me his layout of next week lol Im not going to lie it is tempting and I do wonder what would be the outcome if I did see him but no sex would things shift slightly (highly doubt)

As far as taking things slow I think i might have did things backwards. He knows Im interested, I care, I think hes attractive etc etc ive mentioned these things to him over time not at once its just the last time we've had one of those conversations that when i dropped the big C word and he freaked haha he did tell me he thought I had a humble heart and was a really sweet girl so it wasnt that horrible of a conversation. I dont get how can you develop with someone when you barely talk to someone

@Samcancergirl Its really no secret... maybe a little self control (sound familiar?) im usually busy at work and too sleepy at night to even call so it balances out for the most part



Use something that would normally be a big hindrance as a big advantage. That's something we can spot and identify with very well, it's how we try to approach problems much of the time.

CP - could u provide an example of such a big hindrance?

Using a hindrance as an advantage? It's a matter of shifted perspective madam, and using what you have available to work with.

In this lady's case, she is interested in this guy, and wants to move a LOT faster than he does. However, it's not just a case of him being busy, she mentioned that she's pretty busy as well. Now, if she's set her heart on a fairly cagey, cautious Cap... this actually helps her out in a few ways:

1) She's probably too busy to be blowing up his phone with text messages, or dropping in on him unannounced - two sure fire ways to spook a Cap male early on, or at least annoy him.

2) While it sucks to be so busy on both sides, IF she can get him to a point where he makes time for her... that's a good indication of solid interest. When time is precious, you don't waste it. Same as money. Any fool with a pile of money can spend spend spend and buy you gifts, but how will you know if they really come from the heart, something he really wants to give you for the right reasons? Likewise, when money is tight, and someone in that position gives you a gift, you have a pretty good indication that it was heartfelt, and they really wanted you to have that gift. Same goes for going to the effort to make time in a busy schedule to be with you. We can be even more miserly with time than we are with money, when busy.

3) Both being busy means they'll *both* have to go to some effort to make time. If he's any kind of good guy, he'll see her going to the same effort he does to do that, and it will reflect very well on her to him, and convince him that her interest is genuine as well. That works both ways. Seeing that your partner, or potential partner, is going to equal effort in any relationship - even one just tentatively budding - is something that can't help but build trust. We pay an excruciating amount of attention to that sort of thing when we're trying to build that trust, even when you think we aren't. IF.. .he's really interested in more than sex, that is.

4) when something is in short supply, and you find very resourceful ways around that shortage, we take BIG notice of that. Resourcefulness is something we pride ourselves on, and place strong value on when we see it in someone else.

There are just a few examples right off the top of my head. Suitable answer or not quite what you were after Sam? (If you're the

Thanks for the detailed reply CP!

My capi decided to come back around although it took a while to come out his alone space.
Eventually he got in touch through gentle coaxing.
He recently told me hes being made redundant at work. He reached out to let me know.
The thing is I realise work is extremly important to caps n needs to be seen as the provider but now it's going
To be even harder with the added stress of looking for a new role and interviews and impressing the new boss

It doesn't leave any time for me...

Sam, my merc in sag is killing you dear. 🙂 You can't quote that big long post without chopping off your response... gonna have to trim it or just make a separate post.



Sorry CP!! It was added on to previous one

Also note - A lot of that "going slow, building trust" stuff I recommended for the OP isn't necessarily just about doing things at our slow plodding pace for our fussy, glacial benefit. It's about teaching HIM her value as well. Hence the need for earning that trust to be a mutual thing, and refraining from naked nocturnal recreation for a while. Fair is fair, and that all has to work both ways to actually work out. It's not always in our favor as Cap men, but it's how we learn you are a woman of value who isn't going to run off with 90% of our net worth, our heart, dignity, and our puppy someday in the future. 🙂 .



Agree with you CP we need to get the Cap to also put in the work to understand its a two way process
But it's difficult when the cap is displaying a classic his way only and do as i say attitudeand withdraws when u try to switch the tables on him.

Sam - When things aren't going well for me with my job, I do tend to become a hermit. Most of us do I think. A Cap male (and the gals too) tie up a lot of their self-worth to their job performance and stability. When that's not going well, we withdraw, focus on little else, and I think we feel like we need job stability
Good luck with him 🙂 Be supportive, and a safe, stable place for him, and I bet he makes what time he can for you.



Thank you CP - he has said he's had a lot on his mind n hates having to look for a new job while working out his notice, the recruiters call during the day n has interviews lined up taking up his evenings.
He has said he'll tell me when it's all sorted and confirmed in the new job.
I'm not exactaly providing a stable place for him as its getting to me that he's soo busy ontop of all the stuff from before.
It's the secrecy of everything -

I realise now that most caps would prob do the same it's legit but it got a bit too much n I let him know.
He's not talking to me right now but he will come around he usually does in the end.
I have to just leave him to it and check in with him nxt week and see how it's going.
He needs his space more then ever right now. It would have been useful to know he felt like this before I got upset and it is a sucky situation. Let's hope it works out and he's ok. Maybe he cud use some seduction in a few weeks to draw him out of it.

@CP you are making me wonder if I should attempt to try once again. You made a good point about him not wanting to hurt my feelings, he almost never wants to be brutally honest with me even when I ask for it. He'll just be quiet or take a really deep breathe before he says it haha I do want to see him but I know im not going to jump the gun and go next week as he says I should. Trying to figure out if he just wants sex or not is going to be a tid bit hard for me because boy do I want to ride him till he cant see straight lmao (sorry its the scorpio in me)

I was thinking about making him some type of dish, hoping the gesture would say im interested in you without actually having to say it
