Understanding Capricorn Behavior and Boundaries

Capricorns are known for their ambition and wisdom but can sometimes display controlling or flirtatious tendencies, especially when stressed or unfulfilled. Setting clear boundaries and communicating openly helps manage interactions. Recognizing their traits can improve your response and protect your emotional well-being.

I have a male friend-of-a-friend who is a Capricorn.

He's a mentor of this young man I'm trying to date-- and now he's met me--- he's driving me NUTS! Sometimes he's great and he offers very good advice and sound wisdom.

On his "off" days, he's a horny, old bastard.. and I can always tell when he and the wife aren't relating, because that's when likes to share his unbridled passion for me. NO THANK YOU! Today was particularly special because he reminded me that I'll be approaching 30 soon, and it's about time to stop being so prudish if I ever want to get married (ARGH!).

I'm getting ready to tell Mr. Cappy where to go-- AND share with my friend what kind of egotistical, over-sexed psycho he has for a mentor.

But.. I decided to breathe-- I'm trying to choose my words carefully. Any thoughts?

HAY give the old guy a break. At first I thought you were talking about me then I relized I don't have a wife. I would suggest you just get him aside and tell him you are not into him. Tell him its not because of race or religion, or even age you just don't like him as a human being. Get down and personal. This should turn the old guy off. If it doesn't work we will try something different like maybe a swift kick to the nuts.

Yours Old Jake by the by I dont date anyone under 40 I don't have a thing for young girls.

LOL, no OJ, not talking about you.

I already told him that I don't do married men. Shouldn't that be enough? Why is he being so freakin persistent anyway? Also-- shouldn't I also tell my friend what he's doing??!

A knee to the nuts, Its just another way of saying I don't lov you. No my past incounters never got to that point, I don't stalk, I never meet a woman I could not live with out, and I dought that a woman ever meet me who could not live without me. I may call Paris I may be living the simple life.

Thanks for sympethizing with me haffo. I've been taking great strides to control my anger-- and thinking about things instead acting on initial reactions. Last night, I thought about it-- and I thought, maybe he's just fooling with me.... maybe he's saying these things to get me excited and see what I'm made of. Some people are like that- and they do things to provoke others and get a genuine reaction. (And yes james_tate, I wanted to knee him in th groin-- but that would be rude) Also, he's not stalking me, we just happen to run into each other more often now that we "know" each other (ie. the bank, the gym, mall, grocery store-- and so forth). Now that I'm calmer, I think the next time I see him I can articulate how I feel about his "comments", and it will be easier to ignore him from this day forward. I was just so angry yesterday-- I didn't know where else to vent.

No, he doesn't know where I live-- and I would say that we're just running in to each other... I mean, it's a fair sized connected community. It's kinda normal to run-in to people.

like.. for example, my dental hygienists and I go to the same gym--- My step aerobics instructor works in the financial dept where I go to school, I spot my professors at the mall or the movies... It's like that...

so running into him isn't odd, and doesn't necessarily mean that he's stalking me.
