Typical capricorn behavior?

This topic was created in the Capricorn forum by mspink on Sunday, February 23, 2014 and has 14 replies.
Hey all!!!! I really need some assistance here and any help would be greatly appreciated!! I have a capricorn man I recently started talking to in the middle of January. He's the perfect gentleman, however he moves very slow and I'm not sure if it's due to lack of interest or just normal cap behavior. He text me faithfully everyday (which I love) even if it's just to say good morning or good evening. Around the beginning of feb I joked with him that I was going to label him as my good morning friend due to that being all I usually get. He said that's not what he wanted and took me on a date that night. Of course he paid and after dinner we just sat and talked for an hour. From then on he text me throughout the day everyday. I know he's really busy he's a full time college student so I appreciate that. But I never see him and I haven't seen him since that date. So I took the step and asked to see him one day he said he would be very busy that day but would try. Well I didn't see him that day. And he didn't reschedule so I asked him what were his thoughts on me so far. He said your a great person with a great sense of humor and you have a lot of the qualities I'm looking for

Do they typically just not attempt to make time for you?
details
Yes that's what I've been doing. I rarely contact him first so I'm sure he doesn't think it bothers me but it does!!! But I'll continue to enjoy life as I did before he came around
details
Maybe try telling him that you want to spend more time together, if he makes an effort then you know he's into you. He already did once, so that's a good sign.
In the beginning, I think a Cap guy can be very slow, and cautious. Sometimes I think it could be because they are afraid of rejection, so they let you make the first move for contact to gauge how much YOU like them. Also, I think Caps are usually busy working on multiple things, and they don't really talk about all the things they need to do in the day.
So...people can be left wondering what's up.
When they love you though, they will try really hard to see you including changing work schedules and plans.

Yea I did notice the effort he put forth when I brung up what I didn't like. And it's very true about not knowing what all he has going on, I strictly thought it was school but looking at his twitter I see it's a lot more than that. As a taurus it was way out of my comfort zone asking to see him and him not being able to so honestly if will be a while before I ask again. But I will continue to respond to his text and calls

If he's busy with school, how much do you think can be pushed aside in that dept. for you?
He's made enough time to become your good morning friend and even go out...I'm stymied where this is a valid question.
As SMS pointed out, with love Capricorns do try very hard. But I think here it's much too soon to think he's deeply in love and would be moving mountains...it's much more probable to be like Lucciferi said where you could be what he works to. And since he is a really busy full time college student there likely isn't a lot in that dept. he could flat out "push aside" (for you no less).

I know it's def not love it's only been one month and I'm not wanting him to push everything to the side I simply just want to see if it's typical cap behavior or does it seem more that he's blowing me off. I'm very patient but not in the business of wasting time that's all. But from what I gather seems the verdict is leaning more towards busy and I can work with that

" it's typical cap behavior or does it seem more that he's blowing me off."
He's not blowing you off but he's stringing you along, inserting himself in your life daily, creating this attachment but barely making time to actually do you (although not deliberately not trying to date you) he's still not making time for dating.
Are you dating anyone else mspink? I'm curious as to why you're intently focused on a man that isn't really around for you.
Why work with busy? Can't you meet/find a man that actually has time for you?
details
Yeah, probably keeping his options open. No one is that busy.
details
He can be busy, fine, so why string her along by contacting her daily?
He may attend college full time and possibly work part-time so why contact her daily? Don't he know we women (a lot of us if not most of us) believe if a man is
contacting daily that he has intentions to date, go out etc etc.
I can't blame him for being busy, mspink is shares some of the blame for taking a man on that is too busy for her, basically settling and that's her fault for not having firm boundaries around how she's going to allow herself to be treated.
If her goal is to date her phone/computer then she might be fine with it but it doesn't seem like she is.
I mean, how is she supposed to get know him (for real) as in seeing his facial expressions, knowing if he's truly interested if 99% of communication is through technology.
College/University is 4 years plus so is she supposed to communicate for a few years mainly through technology. It's unrealistic.
If you're going to wait mspink lower your expectations, he's busy.
details
True, when I was in university, I had no life smile
Definitely have been guilty of not initiating activities, and even sometimes not responding to texts for days...wasn't trying to be rude, but just got so busy with school and work. Sometimes if someone wants to do something, I don't know if I can make it, so I can't give an answer right away and then forget Sad
Depends on what he's studying and how serious he is about it...

Yes I am dating. But his behavior is something I've never encountered before and my virgo moon over analyzes everything!!

If a capricorn is interested in you he will make time for you. Once a week isn't too much to ask. A lunch date during the week, or a movie on Saturday night wouldn't hurt him.
I bet if it were a booty call, he'd make time for it.
Just sayin'
details
I'm not a Capricorn, but as a full time college student with a part time job, while I would love to date and would try if I had a woman, I would feel somewhat inadequate because time is really all I have to offer at this point, and time is scarce, which is why "try" is the operative word.
Just today, a club came to one of our classes asking for people who wanted to join and do various things. I am quite saddened that I can't participate because of all the shit I have going on. I hope that the day some woman appears who wants me, she understand and therefore accept my current circumstances.

Indeed. I just disagreed because her post consistently associates negative connotations to a guy who is distant or busy, and I do not think that point of view is very objective.
I don't think he is stringing her along. He sounds like he is in the deciding phase still.
Am I wrong? I hope I make sense. smile

Could be. Might be trying to figure out if she has the qualities he wants and needs. Still though, hard to do if you don't any spend time together.
