ScrpnBliss,A Cap will only take so much crap from a person, so if he perceives you as someone who's been exploiting his niceness, or his desire to get along, you may be the recipient of some polite indifference. If you've done anything to attack his dignity, that also would be cause for him to mistrust you. If you're really interested, he'll tell you if you ask him. I know I would. There's a Scorp I know who thought it was fun to toy with me, but when I realized everything was on her terms for her pleasure/entertainment in her time it didn't really make me want to spend any more time with her. We are extremely sensitive on the inside, and don't find it particularly difficult to turn on someone if they become displeasing. You're a Scorp, and therefore probably attractive to him, so he may be warming back up to you, but you need earn his trust for him to continue liking you. Good luck! You may need it.  IP: Logged |

Wow, why does it seem that everything everyone says on this board applies to me.. seriously AG, if I didnt know any better I would think you and I dated the way you described the Scorpio you know.. I mean I didnt purposely toy with him, but I am a VERY cautious person and if things aren't done on my terms I dont trust a person.. But your description makes sense.. Indifference eh? Hm, thats a hard thing to contend against.. especially since what we had seems broken.. although every time I think that he contacts me and asks if I miss him.. murr.. I'm so confused! Haha. I mean he's already told me that I hurt his feelings etc and ended the convo by asking if I wanted to "hook up" in sexual terms (we've never been intimate).. so I get the feeling he's been annoyed for a while and just wants to leave with something to show for it? Haha.. Thanks AG IP: Logged |

Something to consider is that when someone asks you to do things on their terms with nothing given in return it starts to feel a bit like slavery. You may be protecting yourself, but no one likes to give or perform without any reward or respect. As a Cap myself, I am all for having an equal relationship. To me, Capricorns as chauvinists is completely untrue (though I do have a lot of Libra influence).To get over his indifference, you simply need to ensure that he knows you really do respect him. You may have to prove this for a while, but it is possible for him to get over. It's possible that his asking for sex is a response to the way he feels he's been treated. He feels like he's shown his willingness to go along with your agenda, what are you going to do in good faith in return? He really wants you to show him something before he loses all faith in you. He's just as tough and just as cautious as you, and maybe that's the understanding you need to have about him. This similarity in nature makes Scorps and Caps really compatible, but it can't happen if there's no balance. (Our vengeful sides are just as bad as well, so be careful) I think you just need to give him something on a regular basis. If you're in a relationship with him, then you need to act like it. You have to respect who he is and how he feels. If you guys can find the balance you'll find he's a great mate, and you'll want to find out how great he is in the sack. AG

One thing to remember Scorpion. They ARE sensitive. It's easy to forget sometimes. If I had a dollar for every time I unknowingly offended. They're as self protective as we are. We both think that's only reserved for us. Each trying to make the other give in... it's a lost cause... you just have to say hell with it... and do it. One thing that I'm still having to get use to, and remember, is that my Cappie needs me to say those lovey things ... and even a hug works wonders. I can generally get a gut feeling about things... he needs more concrete proof. Oh, AG's right. They can be little stinkers Also have a memory like an elephant. If you hurt him, he'll nail you to the wall ... may take him a while ... but when you least expect it... AG did make another good point. They will do their share. I'm so independent that I always do things myself. Catch: You may have to ask for the help. That's hard for me to do also..  They won't jump thru hoops. If they do, it won't be often, or for long. ________________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc. IP: Logged |

I'm glad you said that. I didn't want it to seem as if I were bragging about it or anything so I kept my comment small, but it's so true. And the way you described it is dead on as well. IP: Logged |

Nah, it's not bragging. It's true.  The main thing to do is easy. Treat him as you would want to be treated in any given situation. If something is wrong... communicate. Don't get caught up in your own cleverness. He's just as clever... if not more so. ____________________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc.

Wow guys. Thanks a lot for that advice AG Sometimes it does take me a while to see how my actions could be affecting another person. It really wasn't fun when he turned the tables around and treated me the way he *felt* I treated him.Thanks 1scorp. Your description of the dynamics between scorpio & capricorn pretty much describes my situation.. always trying to get the other person to give in! And then being caught up in my own cleverness Although I'm learning he's just as good at it! I feel as though even with all the miscommunication and retaliation for *perceived* slights, we still keep in contact b/c in a way we both realize we've met our match i.e. someone we can't walk all over using tactics of manipulation and cleverness I guess.. I'm also *very* independent 1scorp.. plus my aquarius moon keeps me so aloof.. Well I'll give it a shot and just put my feelings out there, but I'll be prepared to be met with indifference if that's what it comes to. Thanks guys! You Rock! ------------------ Scorpio Sun/Aqua Moon/Scorpio Asc IP: Logged |

You're very welcome I wish someone would have gave me a few hints along the way Would've saved many a headache/heartache. You said: I feel as though even with all the miscommunication and retaliation for *perceived* slights, we still keep in contact b/c in a way we both realize we've met our match i.e. someone we can't walk all over using tactics of manipulation and cleverness I guess.. I agree. The Cappie and I have both admitted to this many times. 
I don't think Scorpios and Capricorns can really have control over each other. Maybe for a little while... but it doesn't take long for the other to catch on. Good luck to you. _________________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc. IP: Logged |

Oh, one more "tip" (??)Once you put yourself out there... don't let him milk it. Demand your respect... and show him the same. It's all about respect.  This relationship takes work... so if you're really wanting it (I mean really, really wanting it) then proceed.  _________________________________________ Scorpio sun, vemus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc.

Hey guys.. again thanks for all you're advice. Just wanted to say I finally did it. After months of never really being straightforward about how I felt or what I wanted I actually opened up. I ended up sending the Cap an email b/c it would have been even more weird to say it over the phone. I haven't gotten a response..But in all honesty I thought it was going to feel good, being so open and honest, you know? But instead I feel HORRIBLE. I've never been so forthcoming in my life! I'm not used to saying things as much as I'm used to having people sense it or figure it out themselves! and to do it now, with someone I don't know where I stand with.. I don't know.. maybe it was dumb.. A huge part of me feels like maybe I shouldn't have done it.. maybe I should have left the mess alone, learned lessons and walked away.. But maybe this is a new part of me, learning how to be more open and honest from the BEGINNING and not at the end to salvage a shipwreck  Anyway, just felt like sharing... Thanks & Good night! ------------------ Scorpio Sun/Aqua Moon/Scorpio Asc IP: Logged |

AG: No... it's not difficult. It is work though. I think when you really care about someone as him and I do... you want everything to be perfect, and are willing to work hard for it/at it. Plus, tend to beat myself up double when it doesn't. Scorpion: Awww. Don't regret it. Give it time. Then if he doesn't accept it... that's his problem. At least you tried.  I understand what you mean about being open. I'm the same way. It is hard... but it can be liberating. _______________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc. IP: Logged |

We have our deals... just like everyone else. I think it's a good thing that he and I can recognize it, and once the smoke clears, laugh about it. I do love him and think he's wonderful.

Oh, well that's good then. Yeah, you never made it sound difficult before, so that was a little disheartening (as I'd like to try a relationship with a Scorp at some point).------------- ScrpnBliss, If your Cap is anything like me, he'll really really appreciate the gesture. I don't think he'll miss the significance. I don't know your situation, but I think there may be a chance that he would be confused by you being straightforward. It could also be that he hasn't responded for some reason we're not aware of, like maybe he's been busy or something, or maybe he's gathering his thoughts. Generally speaking, though, providing understanding to another person is a good and fulfilling move. Communication is key in most relationships, so I think this was a great move in your evolution.

sthenri..when you wrote "The one time I dated a Capricorn seriously, he ran my life and not in a good way. When he I wasn't as touchy as he would like he found someone else-in church, setup by his Mom. So maybe that's an ideal. Under the guise of friendship he still tried to run my life, I felt a lot of repressed hostility there." OMG..i can totally relate i dated a cappy for 2yrs, and after he realized he couldn't change me, he dumped me!!!!! all the while in that time he made sooooo many empty promises about a future together..humph haha who's laughing now buddy???? lol IP: Logged |

Capricorn explanation of our behavior in courtship I heard on a different message board (a capricorn board at dxpnet.com) that Cappy males test females the same way that I do. Ya'll should check out their responses, it is very insightful-> Here's the link That's one of the best posts on that site, the majority of the rest are just other signs venting about Cappies because they don't understand us (but THINK they do).As a Capricorn female, I test my suitors alot. The last thing we want is to end up with the wrong person. Testing could be anything from not calling them back/disappearing to see if they are interested enough to keep the contact going. I will test their wits. I will observe upclose and from a distance. Basically I put them under a microscope to see if I could really see what their motives are, how much they are interested in me, and if I could possibly be in a relationship with them. I will keep that person at an emotional distance until they prove their emotional worth to me. Okay, I admit this isn't fair treatment but it comes very natural to me and I really don't know any other way to go about finding out the things that are hidden beneath the surface (well besides astrology and tarot cards). The reason why we do this is because beneath the calm exterior, we are tender-hearted, passionate (at least in bed) and sensitive (oh but we will rarely if ever admit that). Yes we are somewhat uncomfortable expressing emotions and sometimes guys gotta pull teeth just to hear how I feel but we will express it in other ways (spending our free time with you, doing things for you, being affectionate). Its so bad that in the past when someone I loved said they loved me, I was in shock and couldn't say it back. I pretty much ignored their emotional expression (I learned my lesson and will try not to do that in the future). If asked how I feel, I give vague answers, I don't wanna show anyone inside my heart unless I'm 200% sure that they feel the same. Its unfair and selfish, but its a cautious defense against heartbreak. It is hard to feel vulnerable, we don't want others taking advantage of us, and in my experience they surely will. We will devote ourselves to the relationship and fight to make it work (if the person's worthy). We have alot to offer; stability, loyalty, dependability, sincerity, earthy sex drive, and true friendship. We don't want to give ourselves to the wrong people because its hard to get over the Saturnian depression of heartache. It's also rare for us to jump into serious relationships without knowing the partner well. I did that once because I felt a powerful attraction/chemistry that I never felt before but I'll never do it again. IP: Logged |

Capricorn and Loyalty One Capricorn guy liked me, I didn't like him back (just as a friend) and he acted the same way. He expressed his interest than he sat back and played the passive, you gotta now prove yourself to me role. If I was passive then he'd feel like I wasn't interested. He then figured out that I was the same way so he would have to be more aggressive if he wanted to get with me. I did let him know that I don't mix business with pleasure so we couldn't be more than friends. I know he was with the wrong woman (he wasn't happy with her) and I think he may have been unfaithful to her. I must admit I was unfaithful (kissing, not sex) to my exes when they made me feel insecure, neglected, or unloved. I felt like they were playing with my emotions (and of course, it was true, they were manipulative ******** !) I know that I am 100% capable of being faithful because I have been plus karma & guilt always pays me back when I'm unfaithful. One thing for sure, I was very supportive and devoted to making those bad relationships work. So if you want your Cappie to be faithful to you, pay them back with the same depth love and devotion they give you. I cannot speak for all Cappies so it all still depends on the individual.IP: Logged |

Lotusheartone-- I do believe you're 100% right, I have lost out on my true love because of my emotional distance (pushing away), and lack of never telling him how I felt until it was too late (he has a serious girl now). He was my best male friend of 20 years,Taurus/Taurus moon, that chased me ever since we were 14. I posted the story in the "love triangle" thread. It's so hard for me to trust men and even the universe itself. Maybe its the Saturn negativity, or maybe its because I have intimacy issues due to bad experiences. My Taurus friend is the only man I do fully trust. When I was younger I was too trusting with guys and got burnt so many times. I'm 27 and I'm still learning about relationship dynamics & intimacy. I doubt other Capricorns are as extremely emotionally distant/cautious as I am..if so, now I see why people resent us. ------------------ Cap sun, Cancer moon (1st), Gemini rising, stellium in Sag (7th house).

no resentment here at all, just my heart reaching out to you, if he is the one, he will come back to you have patience and faith, I'm trying too, heheA Taurus/Capricoen relationship is most rewarding, when the cappy can finall set themselves free, from the material world, a Taurus must do also a struggle, easier done together why do we cause ourselves so much pain, karma stern Saturn teacher reach for the stars aim higher than ever before, your sure to land above, not below and you know, you'll find your starseed who needs you so... ...
