Capricorn180189_GS - I am an Aries - You are right that most Aries give that impression and turn off others in the process.

The truth is that this is only a mask on the surface used to hide their sensitive, vulnerable self. They get hurt easily and they carry many more wounds than they show to the world. Behind all their tough exterior, they want warmth, love, care and a sensitive handling. If you pull away then their ego won't let them come to you, so they project this exterior of "If you don't come, it's fine by me." But they get very hurt inside.

Behind that tough exterior lies a very tender, soft heart in the Aries. They look as if they don't need anyone. The fact is they need someone by their side all the time. Only they don't like to show it.

The good part about the Aries is that they are very forthright. If you want to know where you stand with them, just ask them in a cordial manner. They will tell you. Aries don't play games usually. If you want to discuss any problems you are having with them, just tell them that you would like to discuss because you value this relationship and would like to keep it. They will be willing to discuss with you. At least that's way I am and I have seen most Aries this way.
By nature are they insensitive towards other's feeling?

May I ask. in the process of protecting themselves, "if you don't come, it's fine by me", Then couple of days after, what does it mean "when you decided to try and reach out again"

And when you reach out, does it mean you are already hurt inside, and hope to get a good respond to just make sure someone is still there for you?

Is there anyway that Aries can learn, that they do not need to do all these masking, but to put down their ego, and TALK it out, her vulnerability, OR is it they do not how to start talking about how she feels, thus chose to remain their ego and expect people to see through?

It is very hurtful to the people who love Aries, because what she is doing is hurtful to herself and the person who loves her. I can't even read her if she wants me to call her or not.

cause I don't want to reach out everytime
😢 .. Be very direct and demand what you want. She'll atleast let you know where she us standing!


BTW, are you in committed relationship with her?
Rumil!

Need your advice.

Why would you actually do not reply messages? Do you know it is impolite that you get disappeared just like that?

Is this a habit that Aries realised but fail to change it, cause it is a habit?

I am so annoyed now.
Hellooo. Thanks for asking me but I have zero idea or experience😢

When did she disappear on you?

I agree, its not courteous at all.

Why did she disappear..what happened?

click to expand

A lot of times. She just come and go as she likes. IF she happy with my message, then she will respond, otherwise, "seen and pauses"

Till probably the next time she has something to ask.

I just want to know, is it on purpose or is a habitual thing?

Cause many have said Aries do not play mind game, but the way she does thing make me feel like that.

I always hope she is the person who is not so but each time I feel like killing myself when she did what she did.
ZZZZ

This 100% . I think that's why we work so well with Cancer (ahem, excuse me I know this is about Aries and Cap but...) because they are relentless when it comes to getting what they want (same with Leo, Taurus, Virgo... ). You kind of have to be someone that doesn't give up easily if you want an Aries. At least the shyer ones that don't chase.
What you mean by the shyer ones that don't chase? You mean Crabbie is shy and don't chase therefore Aries do not feel the pressure?
click to expand

No no xtina was talking about shy Aries 🙂 ..there are some shy Aries you know that never chase for life 😄

I agree with xtina, be assertive. Say what you want, what you do not want. We are(well I am) a little dense, too slow ..we need someone that will put their foot down and SAY what they want clearly and in straightforward fashion. We are better off or we understand better when we are told what you want from us. Aries are too sensitive and too scared than they appear to be. We need to feel like "this person will not give up on me no matter what", we just melt when someone shows this.

Capricorns are good at this! Go ahead and be upfront. If you are serious, tell her. If she is not sure where this is going also she may withdraw.

Pressed enter too soon -.-

Did you ever tell her you would want to start something with her...a relationship?

Maybe she sees no future with you and is withdrawing. And trying to remain casual.. ?

I see no mind game here.

But yeah..she is mysterious😄

Were you ever upfront and direct and sternly asked her what is she thinking or did you ever tell her clearly?...(sorry I may have forgotten if you wrote about this :p )

IF someone sternly ask you, would you actually answer? I think you will dodge it, or ignore, or pretend dead. That's the best of most Aries I have seen.

Aww 😢

Maybe she's just being casual with you?

May I ask you if you are from the East..? Asian? You don't have to say if you don't like 🙂

Yes, Asian.

I can see it is just casual for now. I try to call her names like dear, darling or I miss you.. but never the respond that tells me she'd say the same to me.

I think she has her "loves"
click to expand


okay..now I can talk because culture is in picture and it makes sense now(I'm an Asian too)

NO.

She is doing it right! Why will she address you as her "dear, darling" or say "I miss you" when she doesn't have relationship with you ²

Only people committed to another say that. 🙂 she's right.

Okay well I can agree with you on this.

So meaning relationship comes first, then only couple flirting.

May I ask, love comes first then sex or sex comes first, then love?

But she has been your friend since a long time. She should respond. Put everything directly and clearly open before her.

I am just saying:

We need to feel like "this person will not give up on me no matter what", we just melt when someone shows this. --- Yes, I knew it...

And thing is Caps like me, I am very scared actually. What if she is not the girl I am looking for. That's why we are soo reluctant to open up or try a relationship.
Hmm.. If you yourself are doubtful...its rather nice she isn't getting too emotionally involved right?

It must be touching to her...but since she sees this uncertainty she is not responding to you in that sense.. Talking like that is intimate you know, feelings run deep. Its sacred to be so intimate (saying I miss you, showing too much care upon you), she's holding back even if she wants to say or feeling so.

The relationships these days are so weird. Its hard to trust anyone so blindly. Because you never know who is serious and who is not.

I find meaning in her behaviour. She's either deliberately not responding or holding back or is strictly seeing this is casual/professional relationship.(she was your colleague? If I remember correctly)

She's such a Aries/Scorpio. *nods*

It is not this straightforward.

What I can say is I am out of fuel, It has been a year and I need her fire to continue.

Perhaps talking like that is intimate but once you successfully make a Cap totally let go for you, then only you can see how far Capricorn can go for the intimacy.

To me, it makes sense she is calling someone else love and all the intimacy, thus I received none. Cause Aries is loyal to one relationship, if the relationship never work out, she will cut it right away and move on to the next one quickly.

I have to agree that the relationships nowadays are so weird, and that the reason is because everyone has more options nowadays, with FB and social medias.

It is totally a whole new level for loves/ dating/ relationship. More going to stay as single forever.

She is not my colleague but we work for the same company.

And indeed your memory never fail you. Aries/ Scorpio.

Can you reveal what you so hate about yourself?

Capri, she's like that because she sees no certainty. As a Aries/Scorpio myself I will not entertain that kind of closeness UNLESS I know I can marry. Then also I will be very guarded. Its only after marriage you will see complete person as we are feeling. Trust me we're the most simple people ðŸ™

She's only saving you and herself drama and pain by not giving in to something that doesn't look certain.

She called some other guy "love"?? Is she with someone?

If she looks right for you why are you so reluctant?? 🙂 does she seem as a right or good partner to you?

EHHH..you had to ask a Scorpio moon to REVEAL— 😐 lol..jk 😄

No..there's nothing I hate about myself.. Why do you ask? 🙂

Probably you are right. We are basically the same, Just that caps tend to revolve around Aries' life, which screw up the whole relationship.

So basically I think we are facing the same struggle, the uncertainty issue.

I guess I will just remain casual from now on, but I change from time to time, whenever she comes to me, I am soften up easily and end up doing things that not suppose to be done as friend.

Cause I am worry I cannot give her the best. Thus reluctant.

hehehe the reason I asked so that I can understand more on her struggle/ your struggle, if any.

I still feel Capricron Male and Aries woman are not compatible in short term.

They are not insensitive to others' feelings. Rather, they care too much. It's just that they don't realise. They are only too glad to hear from the other that s/he is serious about them.

"Asian" is such a vast and diverse category! But in many Asian cultures, the woman expects a commitment, at least an inclination for a stable relationship if not marriage and love before getting physically intimate. And yes, Asian women usually expect the men to express themselves first - at least that's what I have seen.

Contd - I know Capricorn like to demonstrate through actions rather than words. But if you feel you are serious about this, then perhaps it's a good idea to talk to her about it.

Perhaps give her cards and flowers to set the mood and then tell her you are serious about a long-term relationship and would like to hear what she feels.

But of course, you know her the best. If both of you are from the same culture, then perhaps you should also take into account what's most appropriate in your culture in this matter.

What about Aries male and Capricorn female? What is your opinion on that?
Hi..
I am Cap and married to an Aries male. And honestly, it doesn't work. We have been together more than 10 years and it was fun for a long time.
However, as time went by I started to grow tired of being bossed around, and being told his way of doing Anything, is better than my way, and then have him call his behaviour, Helping me!!?! I didn't need help!

So, when I politely rejected his 'help' he would go silent on me and then resentful because I wouldn't change the way I do a task. I'm then made to feel ungrateful!!
GRRRR! I don't do this to him!

I will admit though we are both headstrong and both bossy. But I only boss him because I have been forced to to stop him bossing me around until I give to him!

However, I have always let my Aries just be himself and do things the way he wants to because I don't feel the
need to 'help' him. I have therefore ended up resenting being told to do a job better than the way I'm doing it, just because he is a perfectionist!


Lastly..I will say that we don't Communicate well either. Always doing things differently to each other and wanting our own way. And then fighting to get our own way.
It's all about Compromise. And it's not easy!
This is another problem with Aries & Cap r' ships that is always written about in astrology books and
compatibility sites.

I won't go on!.

Has anyone here experienced anything similar?

I'm Dec 23 one of my best friends is an Aries male he pisses me the fuck off because he acts like he knows everything and tries to compete with me but I like him because he never let's our friendship go and if we fight it's over quick like nothing happened he always reaches out first
I totally understand everything you just said. My Aries husband is exactly the same...Acts like he knows everything and also tries to compete with me. SO pisses me off!! We would be better off as just friends.
But that's another story..

Just to know more about Aries's insecurity.

hehe. By the way, I come through an article reading on Aries, it seems true that Aries (so called self-centered) are just like baby crying in the middle of the night awaken the parents to feed him. The act by itself is not an intentional, as the need to satisfy hunger, basically is a need.

So this shows most of Aries' impulsiveness is similar like the given metaphore.

It was a good reading and give me lots of insights/ idea/ understanding about Aries.

Lots more to tell me and warn me why am I playing with a Fire sign. Now I understand why my Aries mentioned about people will eventually beg to leave them, and they are forever lonely babes. Deep in me I felt it, so much pity.

Probably only Cap and Aries can feel the same depth but from a different direction and approach.

LOL 🙂

Aww 🙂 how sweet you feel pity.

Ahhh.. Our famous impatience! 😄 .. You don't know about your Aries though, some of us can be slower than a snail and have eternal patience 🙂
But yeah..we want what we want although we can get easily distracted ...like a child! 😄

I was distracted by something and forgot to reply to this although I read your post and was going to reply... 😕

Do you feel your Aries is impatient and impulsive??

Yes, we had lunch and again, while Aries do a lot of the talking, I felt pity again.

How someone grow to become a faker, in order to remain competitive and to climb the corporate ladder. I would have to understand, is her career that would fed her. I didn't not say any whether right or wrong, But deep in me I wish she doesn't need to be such a person.

I do not know if Aries do realise this point.

All I want is to eat with her and listen to her tantrum, and complains until one day I minus all her points.

RumiL, will you be disappointed if one day you hear someone who used to be close with you, for him to say I will leave you because no longer take it, or for him to leave you quietly?

Ya, a typical example of impatient is Aries would keep asking where to eat, if you can't give an answer eventhough we are walking to the place.

She will like so impatient to know.

I've briefly dated a few Aries, over the years, and I found most of them to be both selfish and inconsiderate.

At least half of them treated our dates like job interviews, with a couple briefly confessing that they were looking for a man to 'look after them' (even though they were in professional occupations). As for the one exception, she seemed to have a covert ulterior motive that irked me.
What is wrong with wanting to be looked after while also being self-sufficient, though?

Being in a relationship involves looking after each other - to then talk about such a thing is stating the obvious and dumb... unless it's an admission that you want to have your cake and eat it (i.e. financial independence and 'financial support' from your SO).

Based on the way they said it, as well as my intuition, it was obviously the latter. They emphasised their need to be looked after, instead of comparing a romantic relationship to a partnership. One of them actually retracted her statement and quickly apologised, because she knew it made her sound like she was just looking for a sugar daddy.

I see. There are some men who would love for the woman to be completely dependent on him financially. Personally, I don't see it as anything to be ashamed of, especially if the woman is open and honest about what it is she's looking for and the man is open and honest about what it is he is willing to provide.

That's the beauty, I suppose: to know what it is you want and to know that it takes all kinds to make a world. One man's mismatch is another's Miss Match.

I hope all is well in your world, by the way.

I've briefly dated a few Aries, over the years, and I found most of them to be both selfish and inconsiderate.

At least half of them treated our dates like job interviews, with a couple briefly confessing that they were looking for a man to 'look after them' (even though they were in professional occupations). As for the one exception, she seemed to have a covert ulterior motive that irked me.

I believe the beauty lies is when you are absolutely committed to that guy and not still searching, that's when a couple married. Thus, is fair to have the woman to depend on him financially.

But if both of you is just got together in a relationship and then treating the relationship as an investment, so called to have the man paid for everything, eventhough how honest you were. Of course, everyone wants to depend on someone financially. And that's not love.

Yes, we had lunch and again, while Aries do a lot of the talking, I felt pity again.

How someone grow to become a faker, in order to remain competitive and to climb the corporate ladder. I would have to understand, is her career that would fed her. I didn't not say any whether right or wrong, But deep in me I wish she doesn't need to be such a person.

I do not know if Aries do realise this point.

All I want is to eat with her and listen to her tantrum, and complains until one day I minus all her points.

RumiL, will you be disappointed if one day you hear someone who used to be close with you, for him to say I will leave you because no longer take it, or for him to leave you quietly?

Ya, a typical example of impatient is Aries would keep asking where to eat, if you can't give an answer eventhough we are walking to the place.

She will like so impatient to know.

Yes, the over-enthusiasm of Aries to help a person who seems down and out doesn't go very well with many - I've seen it with Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Cancer and other Aries. They tend to see this enthusiastic Aries as know-all overbearing person, while the Aries are only trying to be nice and help. Somehow, I have seen the Capricorns take it well, though they too may be cursing them in their minds. :-) Sagittarius perhaps make the best match for Aries as far as the books go, but I had a terrible experience with a Sagittarius.
It's interesting to hear you talk about Aries trying to Help. I am Capricorn in a relationship with an Aries. But..He is very controlling & bossy. Yet this is what us Caps are meant to be like.
For example, when my Aries tries to 'help' me do something, what it really means is that he thinks the way I am doing eg. a task etc, can be done better, faster, more efficiently etc
BUT. ..If I am perfectly happy doing it the way I do it, and I tell him this Clearly, he proceeds to ram his method down my throat! (Pardon the pun - Ram). He goes on and on about how much quicker etc I would be if I did a task his way!
Grrrr! FFS! There is nothing wrong with my way. I'm doing a perfectly good job so..
If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It !

The irony is that while he is going on and on, he never realises the time he is wasting when he could just offer his help Once, I say No thank you, or even Yes Thank you. Then move on.
Buuuuut. .Instead, if I refuse his help because I'm happy with my way and there's nothing wrong with my way, he actually storms off - drama queen style - then gives me the silent treatment like! ?!
SOOO Irritating!!

However. .If I do change the way I do something, and immediately jump to it and do it his way - Which I do sometimes, because I actually prefer his way to mine-
then he Suddenly becomes very happy with me and 5th en goes on and on Again about who much better his way is!!
Grrrr. .anyway. ..

All I want to say as a Cap is that, I am more than happy to accept an Aries help, if they don't boss me around to make me accept it, and don't ram it down my throat.
If they offer help, offer it on a Take it or Leave it basis. That way I am more likely to accept an Aries help.

Any Caps feel the same??

Thanks in advance for reading ‰‰

I think that combination might work better. As long as the Aries man is responsible and hard working. Capricorn females are stable and a bit materialistic. They will not tolerate an unpredictable man going no where in life. They are also not the most feminist of females and don't mind making most of the decisions. This combo might work better if the man is a March Aries.
Hi ..I like your post but sadly I don't agree ¯
I am a December Cap lady in a r/ship with a March Aries, and it's not good.
I won't go on as I have already posted on here a moment ago with the reasons why.

cause I don't want to reach out everytime
Here here..I totally get that. I don't want to have to Reach out every time either!
My Aries goes silent on me if he has an issue with me. I don't realise straight away..It sort of creeps on me. His silence, and most annoyingly his Sulking! Can't stand it.

Just talk to me. Don't leave it to me to reach out every damn time!

Hope you have a lot of luck Š

The problem is that people now use the word 'bossy' too liberally, especially when talking about Capricorns.

I can't speak for other Cappies, but I usually advise or suggest. It's only if the actions or decisions of the other person is going to have a direct impact on me, will I be more forthright with my opinion.

Aries men, on the other hand, are often insistent and dictatorial - often scoffing if the situation requires more diplomacy from them.

With that said, there's a BIG difference between having an honest opinion (Cap) and bullying (Aries).

Based on this alone, people need to start referring to their dictionaries more, to (re)discover the true definition of certain words...

I agree with Gob on this, Rams are the true epitome of "bossy and dictatorial" attitude.

Pooface - That's a very typical Aries behaviour. As I said, they get excited about something and go all out to get it done in the way they see as the best. But others see it as a bossy behaviour, because they have their own way of doing things.

I think you can have a cordial discussion with him, so that he understands that you appreciate his enthusiasm about your work, but you need your space to do things your way.
