Aqua sun, Capricorn...basically everything else. Very strong Cap placements with this fellow.Long story short, its been quite a while since we've been talking. He expressed a lot of sentiments, he made me feel great, he was always a little in need of space (I am the same way though, so it worked out really well, we respected the others need for creative space in regards to our jobs and our art). He called me on New Years, he keeps saying that he is going to make time to see me when he is back in the country (he travels for his job very often) and when we hang out we get lost in conversation, he has opened up to me before and its slowly getting more and more often. Before he would say "I want to see you if things aren't busy" now its "When are you here? Even if I have something I'll move things around to make time." and so on. I felt as if I was experiencing some sort of progress. NOW. Is it normal for a Capricorn guy to entertain the ideas of other girls all the time, whilst putting out all of those sentiments to me? I saw a recent image of a conversation he started near Christmas with a girl and he basically said "God damnnit, you're attractive." We aren't dating. I understand that and I know that I have absolutely no right to approach him about it. However, when someone is getting "sick" to their stomachs because they think you think they're a player (it came up once, as a joke regarding a message I received, and he got really upset. Reeeeally upset.) and they're saying all of this great stuff to you it seems unlikely that they would be messaging other girls like that. Is that a Cappy sentiment? Even though they seek stability? Am I still around because I am that stability he has, or is it only a matter of time? This is a huge vent but my heart fell into my stomach when I saw that this morning and I am suddenly very defensive. He wants to see me next week but I don't know if I can do it. IP: Logged |

When people get extremely defensive and hurt about something that was said in jest it usually speaks to a guilty conscience.That said if he's making an effort wanting to see you and you are seeing progress with the way he expresses himself around you I'd say thats a good sign and you should let things flow. Caps are slow even to commit. Christmas was what almost 4 months ago? Things change, feelings change. Progress is being made so you can't hold something that happened so long ago against him if you weren't serious at the time. If you're not exclusive there is nothing wrong with him telling another girl she looks good. I think you're overreacting a bit. Go hang out with him and enjoy things, it will make him more comfortable and will make things progress easier. IP: Logged |

I guess I just wonder who else things are being said to. He messaged me in the exact same way and has kept things going for so long, so I guess the inner Bull within me if getting sceptical. He told me to message him when I was in town but for some reason I am dreading doing that. I understand that things change, but for example, he was just in contact with her a week ago. It makes me wonder if I'm as special as I thought I was - which is a terrible thing to admit, but when you think you're one of many things don't seem as wonderful. IP: Logged |

Yeah, I get what you feel. He's not technically don't anything wrong though. It sounds like he is wanting to casually date and you are looking for something more exclusive than that. Try talking to him about it, if he's not going to step up now he probably won't in the future and there is no sense wasting your time if you want something more. Maybe he'll want to take things up a notch, maybe he won't. Either way you'll have your answer and you'll know whether to move on or not. IP: Logged |

you will never be able to understand a capricorn and their motives. you just have to go with the flow and ride the roller coaster ride if that is what you want. if it is...then keep your self esteem high and never waver on what you may view could be "indiscretions". You need a strong mind and a strong stomach to deal with a capricorn man. IP: Logged |

I understand that, sigh. Lets say I do have that - aren't these signs of someone not being interested in you? I figured cappies went for what they wanted and just cut off those they didn't. IP: Logged |

I'm only speaking from experience as I am not a cappy but seem to be surrounded by them lol.
To me, Cap guys kinda operate like a boss so to speak and everyone is "equal opportunity" until proven that the person is intelligent, stable, or whatever they are personally looking for enough for them to trust. Then they go in for what they want and cut off who they don't. And again I could be off on this, I'm just going off of personal experience and what I've noticed. I also don't know much about aqua sun. IP: Logged |

From my experience, Capricorn men are arrogant. They will throw you a bone & expect you to come running. If you have the patience for that game and have no problems with getting dizzy from constantly running in circles, go for it. Capricorn men want you to prove your worth...you can always play hard to get as well. They will get bored easily if you give into all their whims. It's a paradox but if he is really interested, playin hard to get will get his attention and he will up the ante. My experience? I'm a Capricorn woman that has been with a Capricorn man for over three years IP: Logged |

astrologically I think stability is more of Taurus virtue. Earth signs in general, but the fixed one for sure. all fixed signs are 'unchangeable' in some thing, although it may not be apparent to others. 2 of my exes are Cap rising. Now I'm married to a Cap stellium 12 yrs. All I can say is trust yourself first, before placing your trust in anyone, regardless how long you've known them and how they make you feel. If you don't feel like meeting him, then don't. ------------------ Sun in Leo. Scorpio Asc. Is it true life starts at 40? well I'll find out soon enough... IP: Logged |

Bingo! Don't be afraid to be outspoken with them either. In my experience (not ALL Caps are like this! *Disclaimer*) I could tell Caps liked my vivaciousness and spunk. They were amused by it even when they wouldn't admit as such and found it thrilling. Imagine these signs like Richard Greer in "Pretty Woman," used to achieving success and they want it but they also want to be shown there's a diamond in the rough. They want to be surprised for once because they find the world predictable from their point of view.
