Is it normal for a Capricorn man to tell women to call him? I have seen one for 5 times in the last 2 month and before I leave, he always tells me to call him. I always have to initiate. Thoughts?

Nah, he's emotionally lazy, some men are like that.
Next time he tells you to call him, throw the ball back to him playfully by telling him the same thing he told you, if he says to call him, let him know he can call you and see if he calls.
You have to be able to throw the ball back in his court from time to time.
Do not demonstrate that you can be led around easily so you have to have a bit of a backbone which includes demonstrating he can't boss you around and he can't have his way all the time.
Basically he has to understand he has to PARTICIPATE in the wooing process or he can't have you. He don't call he can't have you.
Do not initiate anymore or you're going to end up doing all the relationship work and basically be like so many women that date Cap men, in love all alone by yourself while he sits back and does nothing.

I agree with Tiki, it's lazy on his part. To me, it's weak when a man wants the woman do all the chasing and/or work. Ask him if he's a real man. Then tell him real men call women, not the other way around. Make him make the effort. If he wants to be in contact with you, then it's his responsibility to do so.
Be happy when you do hear from him to encourage him. But don't be the one initiating all the contact.
It's okay about every 4-5th time to initiate, but don't make a habit of it.

Oh, and a little known secret is that capricorn men like to work for what they get. They want to earn it. In general, if something comes too easy, us caps think it's not worth having. So if you make them put out effort to get what they want (a date for example), they appreciate it more and will respect you more. So don't chase them. Otherwise, they will quickly conquer then move on to a tougher challenge. NOTE: I am NOT saying play hard to get. They will see the game for what it is. Just know your worth and make him do the initiating.
Also, caps are afraid of rejection, but if you are clear that you are glad he called, that will encourage him and let him know you're not rejecting him.

No. It's NOT pathetic. Traditionally, it IS the man's role to call the woman, to initiate, to chase, to take the lead.
Capricorns are traditional by nature.

i'm not sure which is worse??_ this, or him saying he'll call and not following through.
Thanks for the feedback everybody. While it's been said time and time again about letting the guy chase, it is always perplexing how he always tells me to call. I did tell him before he could call me. He said " I will." So, I waited it out for 3 weeks w/o texting him(the longest I had waited in between contact) and he did not call. So, I said wth I'll text and see what happens. He responded a week later and invited me to meet up w/ him and one of his friends. So of course when I left he told me to holler at him as always.

I agree with you, trucap, and with gobshite.
If a lady herself is traditional in her values, and practices her life in that way, by all means the man should respect and reciprocate that behavior. Being a Cap male, knocking on the door of the big 4-OH, this is my personal preference. Traditional male/female roles, behaviors, and customs. (Some would refer to me as a male chauvinist pig in our pathetic, effeminate, wussified, new America.)
Now, with the above statement being made (see parentheses ^^^^), if said woman is of the progressive, new-age, want to wear the penis, I can do anything you can except way better, femi-nazi variety, then let her do the heavy lifting and make the phone calls. If she wants to wear the Johnson, then let her. But I'll be damned if I treat a woman like a lady, if she refuses to act like one, and traditional behaviors fly out the window with me. (BTW, my truck needs the oil changed, toots.) There will be no having cake and eating too with. Plenty of pathetic saps out there that will gladly play the game.
So, in conclusion, truecap's way is best, but unfortunately, gobshite's scenario is becoming awfully damn prevalent these days. You're both right, depending on the lady (term used loosely)involved.
As always, just my 2 cents (which is worth 37 bucks and change. 😉)
omg forget about it

Doesn't sound like he's putting out ANY effort at all.
Hmmmm......beware.

As CapTenn already mentioned, it could go either way. Why? Because it's all subjective. Yet you've all jumped to conclusions based on your own old-fashioned values.
"Men are suppose to do this, men are supposed to do that..." is all I here on these boards, hence my irritation. The last time I checked, most decent men don't expect a lot from women other than not being a difficult selfish bitch... and some of you can't even manage to do that.click to expand
I see what you're saying, but the trend I'm seeing, is that so many women are so busy chasing and initiating, they can't even figure out the guy doesn't even like them. If women would sit back and let the guy initiate, they'd figure out the guy doesn't like them because three weeks has gone by and he hasn't called her.
Oh well, I'm of a different generation where ladies are ladies and men are men.
Besides, what's wrong with old fashioned values?

Okay Gobshite, what is your take on the reason the guy wants the girl to call him and he's not calling her?

Wow. I have to say that agree almost 100% . There is a whole lot of defining of what men should and should not do, mostly coming from teenybopper windbags, whom I put as much stock into as the boogeyman (i.e. none). I also agree with a decent man's expectations of a lady. We really aren't asking much "not being a difficult, selfish bitch" just about covers it.
Now, if you've read trucap's posts with any regularity, you'll see that she is consistent in her approach, and the approach that I subscribe to (she's a girl after my own heart I tell ya). Traditional, independent, with strong opinions, but also fair. No talking out of both sides of her mouth, much less her ass, like most on this site. She's one of the very, very select few that I respect what they have to say, even when I very rarely disagree.
Now, in fairness to the ladies, there's seems to be an overabundance of 20-something douchebag guys on this site as well. They're foul-mouthed, arrogant, and are attracted to the sexual debauchery threads like moths to a flame. Real deep characters, I tell you. So I can see why some of you may have opinions that I don't agree with, but the majority of you deserve each other. Roll around in the mud with pigs and ..... you're gonna get dirty.

Awwww...CapTenn, I respect you too.
is that really all men ask of a woman— that she's not a selfish difficult bitch?

It's the baseline to even begin considering dating or a relationship. So yeah, pretty much.
Eliminate the selfish, difficult ones, and the pool gets very shallow in a hurry.
i don't know many of these women.
some, but not many.

Wow! I had no idea that my question would solicit so much passionate feedback. I really do appreciate everyone's perspective about this. I've only known the guy for 2 months, have seen him 5 times, we are both in our late 30s and I only text him every so often...once a week at the most. And when I do text it's just to check to see how he is doing. No pressure, not needy. I guess I reach out because I feel like I've been given the green light to do so. But as I said, I keep it to a minimum. I don't consider me sending a text a week as chasing but not sure what the male perspective is. I know this a casual dating situation.

Sounds like he's plain lazy and likes the attention/being pursued. As Elle said, if you're comfortable with chasing him AND with him responding a week later, then do ya thing. I'd have ignored his ass long agoclick to expand
Yeah that's what I thought,too. I don't know his past. Maybe some insecurity on his part?
One more thought that crossed my mind...I read somewhere that Caps like to test you. Could it be possible that he is testing me to see how much I like him?

I'm not old fashioned nor am I modern. I fit somewhere in the middle where things can be flexible for both people.
Beware of the men that encourage women to be doormats, encourage them to chase, encourage them to devalue themselves all because their angry and bitter about being placed in a role they either are too lazy to measure up to or resent the role to begin with and buck at traditions that they don't feel benefits them.
Calling a guy 5x's without him not attempting once to reach out to you is a man with a lot of options and he's not thinking about any one particular woman at any time ever.
His dance card is full, he most likely has a woman calling him every day of the week so you not calling makes no difference to him but when you do call he's got that "oh so and so I remember her" she's hot and the opportunity for sex is possible since she's the one doing all the leg work.
Also his behavior smells like PUA tactics/techniques. Let her do all the investing, the one who invest the most energy is the one who will continue investing because no one likes to lose what they've invested in etc etc. The one doing less is the one who wields a significant amount of power or shall I say has an edge over the other person.
Although I'm married I've been down your road and I'd be very very wary of a guy that only remembers me when I call him.
I think you'd like to be thought of, thought about, remembered and the very fact that you aren't receiving the minimum from this situation is cause to rethink your position in this situation.
My advice is don't call him anymore, do not invest another second on a guy that won't, cannot, will not pick up the phone to text, email, call b/c if you do you're going to be sorely disappointed.
Never set up a pattern that nonverbally tells the other person they do not have to show up, do not have to call/reach out and you'll still be around basically investing your energy and waiting, hell no, you can do better.

Lastly this guy isn't a bad, he's telling you by not calling you he is not interested in developing a real connection/relationship with you.
If he doesn't call you will never expect anything of him. He know if he's not initiating then you can never say he led you on or gave you the impression that he wanted something real/serious.
If you wanna have fun and just have a date every now and then he's your guy.
If you're looking for a more serious situation he's not it. He'd have to particiapte in forming a connection with you in order for that to happen.

Thanks for this. Yes, I would like to be thought of. As for the options deal, we met online. He's been on for a while. I see him on all the time.

Looks like my message didn't post completely. Here it goes...
This was the first time I had met one of his friends but the second time I had been invited to do so. He even suggested that I bring my sister but she couldn't make it. I'm a Sag so not too shy. I didn't think I was flirting with friend nor was I attracted, but we had fluid convo. When friend stepped away from the table, Cap grabbed my hand and gave me a kiss on the cheek. At one point he grabbed my hand under the table. Well when he stepped away, I asked the friend how long they had known each other which turned out to be 15+ years. He was in town on layover and he was going to take cab back to hotel because Cap wasn't going to take him. I reacted with " what? He's not going to take you." The friend jokingly said " yeah some friend he is". Then he said I could take him and he would pay me the cab fare. When Cap got back, the friend told him about our cab convo and said that I might take him. Cap looked at me and said " oh really? It's a free country. So are you going to take him? I felt like it was an " oh oh" moment. Then when friend stepped away again before we left, Cap said that his friend said he was interested. I looked at him confused but said firmly that I liked him (the Cap). He said he liked me too but was putting it out there for a friend. Again I looked at him and told him that I liked him and was not interested. Wth? Then I went to Caps place and asked if he was trying to pass me off. He said no that he was just trying to give me an option. I told him that I didn't want an option. He said then he wouldn't give me as an option to anyone. Jealous? Insecure? I texted him a few days later to which he responded that same day.

There's nothing wrong with old-fashioned values.
There are too many women out there with rigid expectations of how a relationship should be, whatever those 'values' may be. This is preposterous when the difference in people and the myriad of potential dynamics between two individuals are taken into account.
What I find offensive is how many women on these boards expect the men to be flexible for them, without reservation, and not the other way round. Regardless of what tradition dictates, that's just utterly selfish.
A relationship is a partnership and not some one way transaction.
To the OP, try talking to him. Duh!

I'll buy that for a dollar. Yes, it goes both ways. I see your point and agree. Women should be flexible as well - in relationships.
The difference here, is it is not a relationship - yet. I still say in the early dating stage, it's up to the man to be the initiator.

No. This is not the kind of test caps do. Caps, well I, like to see how people react in different situations to observe their character.
Right now, consider what kind of character you are showing. Allowing a man to do nothing while you do all the work? What does that say?

Posted by CapGal
Aspa, are you the cap's girlfriend or just dating? If you're just dating there is absoluely no reason to act like a committed girlfriend; so the persons calling her out for being friendly with the other guy need to back off. It's called the dating game. No one should be all clingy and acting like a committed wife/husband after 2 dates.
Plus he doesn't treat her like a priority, so yeah, nothing wrong with her chatting with his friend
You may want to re-read all that again. Chatting with his buddy isn't the problem.

Besides, what's wrong with old fashioned values?

I can't fathom initiating with a guy, but that's just me. I feel that being very traditional has really simplified dating for me, takes a lot of the guesswork out and on top of tha t I get treated extremely well because men are so thrilled to have a lady.click to expand
Yep!

Well, she was on a date with the cap. She was talking about going to the hotel with his friend (doesn't matter whether she was going inside or not). Number one rule of dating - leave with the one who brung (invited) ya!
Disloyalty is one of the number one turn offs for a Capricorn.
Now, that was a test that he didn't even know he was going to be giving. Can anyone say FAIL!

I'll buy that for a dollar. Yes, it goes both ways. I see your point and agree. Women should be flexible as well - in relationships.
The difference here, is it is not a relationship - yet. I still say in the early dating stage, it's up to the man to be the initiator.
Okay, fair enough. My recent opinions were solely based on the quote from the OP.
Now, shut up - I'm starting to like you a little more. 😛click to expand
Awww, now. What's so bad about that? 😉

Gobshit you are talking out the side of your ass.
You're making assumptions about the women here and you don't know shit about the women here.
Take yo bitter woman hating ass some place else with that bs.
Come up in here with the typical boys club bs, you'd rather tell her to do what benefits YOU not her b/c you're miserable and insecure.

As far as respect dude don't get no respect when he don't call.
Apa if the friend is more interested go with that. Cap lose friend +1. He snooze he lose.

Go fuck yourself Gobshit, you are nothing but an insecure troll that loves living in a woman's struggle.
Just the mere fact that you came in devaluing what everyone (mainly women) had to say pointed to your ignorance and lack of self esteem.
You're pitiful if you have to devalue what we say in order to appear relevant. To attempt to tear us down so you can feel a wee bit stronger out'd your sorry ass.
You are a piece of shit and that's obvious. Attacking women that you don't know that have been here way longer than your nimble ass. Go suck a big one maybe you'll grow a brain while you're sucking it.

Honestly Elle the Cap wasn't interested if he wasn't calling to begin with so truly she is not losing anything in this whole situation.
As for the Cap not taking his friend to the airport well that demonstrated he's not even a good friend.
Not only does he not call he doesn't drive either. What a catch.
I agree cut her losses.

1. I did NOT offer him a ride. The friend jokingly suggested it since the Cap wasn't going to take him all the way back. It is quite the drive. The way the friend told the Cap was like I said I would. I did NOT. I sensed a tinge of jealousy by the way he responded w/ the " oh really? It's a free country comment. "
2. I felt like by him suggesting that the friend was interested I had to do damage control by telling him I liked HIM.
3. It was our 5th date in two months. Still very early and casual. I texted him a few days later and he did respond.
4. I saw that he checked out my online profile again yesterday. Lol don't know what that was about. But, no matter...
5.My original question about if it was normal for a Cap guy to have the girl call him was typical or not. I guess it depends on the person as does anything else. Some say they like to chase while others say they don't. Nevertheless, I think I will pull back again. Sometimes you know the answer but it's always good to get an objective perspective. Thanks for the passionate feedback! 🙂

Gobshit talking in tongues LOL..
You're a troll. Attacking women that aren't talking directly to you. Pathetic troll.
You don't know me and I didn't say she didn't do anything wrong. If she wanted a read on her behavior she would have said that in her heading.
I don't label on the DXP male users because many of them have healthy self esteem unlike yourself.
You on the other hand are labeled as a woman hater because you came out swinging by attacking the women who gave their individual opinions on her issue. We did not address you at all and this thread wasn't supposed to turn into a man vs woman type of thread.
You're a troll because you are looking for a struggle so I gave you one but what really makes you a punk ass is you're doing this with the women on the sight.
Don't you have something better to do than fight/haggle with females. What is your fucking problem? If you don't like what I have to say hit the ignore button bozo that will solve all this anxiety I breathe into your life.
As for criticizing, uh no you came out verbally attacking and swinging like a bitch ass and got verbally swung on.
Anyways...Keep on rolling with the trolling Gobbleshit

OP - I think if you want to keep seeing him pull back a little, he's been in touch since so it's not like he's not talking to you.
The cap isn't to admit he wasn't a good guy for not taking the friend to the airport.
He's not going to want you to remind him of this
You can either say your piece and agree to put it behind u both n his friend was a slime ball for asking behind the caps back or you don't but
I think the cap does like you -

LOL Goobleshit still talking in tongues!
Feel sorry for yourself punk ass, you can't stand people having an opinion other than your own hahahahaha what a turd.
You're so jealous of me and all the intelligent women that see through your angry man bullshit, ironically Goopyshit has never been on my radar but I can see you've been paying lots of attention tome.
Keep on projecting, you just make me look so much more relevant than you by attacking what I've said when what I said had nothing to do with you, you're threatened by me little poopshit or I wouldn't even be on your mind, me love it lol.

From my experience, it's always better to pull back a little, then let him take the lead. That way, you can determine if he likes you by how much effort he's willing to exert.

LOL Take meds Gobshit, good luck with that.
