I have a question and just looking for a bit of honest advise. I've been seeing an Capricorn guy for two years, being the Aquarius that I am its getting to the point of love me or leave me. Honestly does this mean he doesn't see me as being girlfriend material. He gives me whatever it is I ask for whatever I want. So I mentioned I would like to take a trip you know a vacation with him and he stated that's what ppl in relationships do. Huh we do relationship stuff now I didnt ask for a relationship never have I just want to do more. So is it safe to say he's not that into me because I shouldnt have to ask?

"So is it safe to say he's not that into me because I shouldnt have to ask?"

Firstly, who told you that men are mind readers? And who said women shouldn't have to ask...

Regardless of anything else he is only human and yes it is always a good idea to specify clearly and straightforwardly what you want in a relationship...
he is probably into you, but Caps are notoriously cautious movers.
Im sure someone will be along soon with advice for you =) but yeh, making assumptions about a guy because there is a difference in communication will probably leave you a little confused...

No he sees other people and that is not a issue with me. I've always been there and I guess I just want to know when its all said and done I will be the one. I just dont believe that you have to be in a relationship to do certain things I'm not asking to be his girl right now but I'm a woman I want to do what i want sometimes i want to take trips and just get away sometimes. I dont just want money. Two whole freaking years dam if I ask for something that requires time he states we're not in a relationship wtf what does it matter if we're in a relationship or not just please me and I' sure to do the same.

I'm sorry, I am going to step away from this one...
I'm finding it difficult to understand what you need or want... sorry, it's probably me...lol not very bright sometimes...
I'm getting conflicting messages out of that response...

You don't care about relationship labels, you want to know if you are the one, he can see other women, but you demand you do what you want to do, but you are not his girl which negates your right to demand anything... Im not sure what I'm missing.
You chose to spend two years with someone without defining or locking in a definition of what you expect— is that right? You do "relationship stuff" that he has no problem participating in but decides this is the line he wont cross... the trip?

your exactly right after two years of no definition how could I make a demand. I have no place right and maybe I'm not being honest with myself maybe I really want a relationship but I've never been in one before so I'm not really sure how it goes. I will just step away from it all no matter how much it hurts me and like you stated I'm really confused maybe I'm caught up in my feeling or suddenly realized that I want more and he's not willing to give it to me. Thanks for being so blunt and honest

lol he's really kind to me and I can talk to him about anything. I recently told him to his face and thats how I ended up here. I didnt say I wanted to be in a relationship because I'm not sure about that i just told him I would like to start getting away with him and he said only people in relationships do things like that. And I replied well there is no law on what people can and can not do as friends we do a lot now. I also told him that there should have been boundaries because we've done a lot with each other over the years. I'm not going to lie now I feel little bitter but maybe I set myself up for failure. I love him I do and dont want to loose him but I didnt understand when he drew the line. I didnt it baffled me but I guess you cant go on for years doing all we do as friends somebody will eventually feel mistreated right?

How do you know he isn't testing you here...
you could've said-okay well I think I'm in love with you and I would like to go away sometime.

If I was in his position I would be skeptical about this because what if he wants a relationship with you? YET. You keep insisting that's not what you want, but your actions are indicating you DO want.

What if HE is was wanting a different response?
He is respecting your wishes here, so far he hasn't done anything wrong. But, I have a feeling he is actually the one with more at stake... Capricorn is very good at committed partnership, unless of course the partner in question is always saying they don't believe in that classification...
You should tell him how you feel. But I dont think Capricorns are necessarily all that keen on being strung along while someone decides whether they want an actual "relationship"...

Am I wrong here? Have I missed the point?

Are you a Capricorn?



I am a Leo/Virg cusp who has been in the most wonderful, excruciating, tender, hazardous-to-your-health, loving, meaningful, nearly two year relationship with a Cap Man.
He has my heart. Very much so.
But it's a long story and a long road to go, so I won't bore you with any more details... suffice to say they are well worth the effort =)
If you truly love him I think it's essential you make yourself clear and put yourself first (for a change sounds like)

I honestly feel like he can't handle the type of woman I am I never slept around in the whole two years I'm very independent. I'm afraid to tell him I love him, only because why havent he asserted himself already does that mean he doesnt feel anything for me? Or maybe he doesnt like me like that or he would have tried harder. So maybe I should just tell him and if i loose him then that means move on.

Capricorn man say right what they say ! If he told you that things only ppls in relationship they do, it means he just told you he consider you a friend only. A support for him , maybe you are his moral support. I have a friend who was in this situation, the guy gave her so much money, things, but he only needed her to balance his mind when things was not good in his life.

When I stated "I don't just want money" NO we dont have an arrangements for him to give me money he offers to help to me out all the time, and showers me with gifts and he gives me whatever I ask for. I've been friends with him for two we done just about everything together and for two years we've shared a lot. And I was just wondering why when it came to the vacation he drew the line? That all.


So after posting and listening to everyone and myself last night I told him how I felt, and he said that we shouldn't be so involved anymore we should just be mutual friends. But we was always friends I never asked for a relationship, but anyways now I know it would never go any further and he didnt care for me in that way. It's hurts but hey I didnt know I was going to fall in love. LESSON LEARNED

"Now, two years down the line, you expect something more. If this is true and I were the Cap, I would not give you the slightest chance. You have no shame or pride."

I've always been there for him and shared much more and I've never slept around on him I just maybe should have been told him when I started to feel more but I've never been in a relationship before so I didnt know how it was really suppose to go but yea like I stated I learned my lesson.

That's what it's all about 🙂 live and learn. Stay true to yourself, you don't have to be in any situation that makes you feel uncomfortable.

"Moreover, it would be good to find a way to earn or save more money, so that you won't be tempted to accept any "help" from men actually taking advantage of you.

WOW I have money he we share bank accounts maybe he just didnt want me spending mine or some I dont know. But I'm 31 years old just always been friends with guys. I work hard and have a awesome career I just never found no one I liked enough to be in a relationship with and after two years I guess I thought I was ready and he wasnt that into me so DAM there are no rules on how you like a person right or what you can do as friends.

We started out having casual sex. And then we started seeing each other more he hinted at a relationship but it wasnt what I wasnted then I was finishing up school starting a new career and just couldn't do all of that at the time I was to focused. Then we both got new cars and we're both on the titles and got car insurance together, and I found him asking me to do more of his business so we decided we should share an account in which he has more in the account. We date, go out go out and get together often. And then 6 months ago my job moved me to another state so we still visit each other and it's just not sex anymore we make love he's gentle and respectful and when we're together I feel so good I do.

at noname, yea I understand that now. I didnt start out wanting a relationship hell but when he didnt assert himself or make a move. I messed up apparently and it was backwards all I can do now is get over it I mean either he love or leave me. Right now I dont want to be bothered with him even if he tried. I can admit along the way i desired more but I never thought I would I just tried to show him I cared and was there for him. And your right all it ever was a friendship and I wanted more, and I expressed that and now this is what it came too so now I know. Everything I ever did for him was from the heart and dont regret it but I have so much going on I will just mover on and yea it hurts like really hurts.
