I have been drawn to Cappy men more than once in my 40 years. Ended up with a husband who is a Cappy sun, Cappy rising. I just want to say, I have never met a Cappy guy who didn't eventually irritate the heck outta me (after the initial magic wore off, of course). Either due to his ultra-conservative nature rubbing my Aqua ascendant the wrong way, or his sometimes controlling nature rubbing my Scorpio sun the wrong way.

This is not a statement based on scientific, controlled studies. I'm putting it out there for what it is: just one chick's personal experience based on her own subjective likes/dislikes. Not taking into account aspects, rising signs, and all that.

Just make sure, if you're trying to land yourself a nice, safe Cappy guy... you know what you MIGHT be in for.

That having been said... I landed my husband by first sneaking Hershey's kisses onto his desk every day for months (and driving him crazy wondering who in the office was doing this), then rubbing hand lotion onto his very chapped hands (oh, poor baby, you need to take better care of your hands, here let me help you).

It was a very blatant flirtatiousness and it worked.

L-O-L!!!!

You're amazing.

Interesting how you mentioned his Cappi-ness irritating your Aqua-ness since BOTH are originally ruled by Saturn. And how his Cap bothers your Scorpio when they're very similar (in my opinion).

And we Aqua ascendants cannot believe that someone else has never tried Indian, Thai or Ethiopian food and won't even do it once. I mean, you haven't lived till you've had palak paneer and lamb vindaloo.

lol Yeah I know what you mean. I have Cap influence but also Sun in the 11th. I'd try any cuisine.

My Capricorn uncle refuses to get on a plane. He never has. He never will lol

It doesn't apply to everyone though. Some things like that ^ could be a generational thing.

'Bout those Hershey's kisses, one day I snuck one in, put it on his desk when he was somewhere else. Then, before he even went back to his office, he said something obnoxious to me, and I straight away asked my co-worker to sneak in and retrieve the kiss quickly. He didn't warrant chocolate that day. I'll never forget that maneuver!

there ya go, Meta, just for you. Knock yourself out. But know: I have never, ever been accused of being funny, so I've concluded that only you think so.

Capricorn men cannot get enough of a lady who has read Benjamin Graham.

Now thinking back, I guess it's not so much the 2 dates, it's probably more what happened after the 2 dates that's the issue. I tired to initiate a 3rd date on NYE (subtly, indirectly ¡V instead of asking him out, I asked him what his plans were XD). That did not work well at all.

Anyways, we are still friends and I really don't mind taking the time to get to know him (and also let him know me). Just not sure if I should:
- flirt with him or no?
- ask him out or wait for him to ask me?
- txt msg him just to say hi or no?

Also, what happens if there's "competition" in the scene? What's the best approach?

Any suggestions welcome!
