Flakey Capricorn guy?

I am terribly confused by this cappy's behavior. We met on a dating site back in November and he seemed quite interested and asked me out right away. We kept in contact via text the whole week prior to our date. He seemed nice enough and was really excited about our shared interests and wanted to plan out something interesting/special for our first date. The day of our date I had to cancel due to a family emergency. I felt horrible about it and after the drama cooled down on my side, I sent him an apology text saying how sorry I was, that I had to take care of a family emergency and could we try again. He seemed understanding of this and agreed to go out with me a week later. The day of our date I sent him a text to confirm plans and he wrote me back that he was swamped with work. He even sent me pics of the stuff he was working on (he's a graphic designer) as proof , perhaps. I wasn't sure if this was a tit-for-tat kinda situation and so left him alone.
Several months went by and I forgot about him. Then at the end of March I received a text from him out of the blue. We exchanged pleasantries and he sent me a song that he'd just written (yes, he's a musician too, as am I) and was thrilled when I told him I loved it. We were then in contact like nothing had ever happened, however, this time I noticed him trying to get more personal info out of me like my last name and email address. Eventually, while texting, he mentioned that we should move past texting and actually meet. Then days later, he sent me another text about how he happened to notice that we have a mutual friend on FB that I had just added on the site. I took that opportunity to get an opinion of him from her cause I wasn't sure if I should try to meet up with him again. Her response: " he's really sweet, funny, intelligent and super cute". After getting her feedback I decided to give him a chance. We made plans again to meet on Thursday evening and kept in touch a bit throughout the week. The Wednesday night before, I sent him a text to find out where/what time we were going to meet the next day to which his reply was "shit. I got an opportunity to re-record the vocals for this song. Can we reschedule? Sorry, I'm totally bogged down with work and have been a space cadet". I replied with "ok, have fun re-recording vocals" I woke up to a text from him saying "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't bum you out Sad " I told him I understood and then didn't hear from him cont'd...
Cont'd . For a few days until last Tuesday when he wrote me to ask if I had listened to his new song yet. He explained that he'd worked all weekend on it and said he thought I would like it. Well, I do, but I haven't told him yet cause I don't know how much contact I should have with this guy. He hasn't mentioned meeting up again so I'm guessing that he's just not that into me and is messing with my head. Are Capricorn men generally like this? We're both in our 30s (me 34 and he's 38) and he's definitely ready to settle down and wants a family and was even excited about my age, saying that was "perfect" for him. He talks about being open to love, but his behavior and actions don't seem conducive to that...should I just give up?
Doesn't sound flaky to me. Life gets in the way sometimes...
No romantic interest leaves little to be desired as well!
We really do get busy and our careers are very important to us. If he keeps contacting you, he's interested.
Hi DP. I'm a Pisces and my guy is a Cap. Your guy sounds interested but for your both the timing has just been off. Cap men are always processing and can be slow on the uptake until you get used to their way of doing things and see that a lot of times it is not personally about something you did or didn't do they are just in their heads alot. I say give him more time to show you what he's all about. If you have a friend that you trust who vouched for this guy I say don't turn away too soon over the initial awkward starts and stops that come with a new relationship. Trust me when I say that one of the best relationships a Pisces woman can hope to have is with a Cap man, especially one with his act together or heading in that direction. Good luck to you!
Thanks all! Ok, I will just need to learn to exercise more patience because I have a feeling he's worth it.
Wow, that's great advice , Metoo. I broke down and wrote him back about his song cause it's so great, I couldn't NOT tell him. This new track has a guest vocalist from another band and I inquired as to who wrote the lyrics (as that is a new thing for him) and he said his friend, the guest vocalist, wrote it for him and it's about him and his past relationships. He then said he'd send them to me to read. Hmm..interesting.
