Backstory....my Capricorn guy and I started as a one night stand (in my mind.) We met online and got together one night when I was visiting his town (I live 2 hours away). The sex was amazing and we had incredible chemistry. Long story short, we kept seeing each other and it evolved into dating. The last time we were together sexually, we had gone out with his friends and had a great time. That night we had sex that was so emotionally powerful that I almost cried. It was so intense I couldn't speak, and when I was driving home I was afraid of my feelings, because they were so overwhelming. I knew I was in love and even felt that he's the one for me. But since that night, we have had problems with the distance between us, social media assumptions and the fact that he's distant sometimes has lead me to believe he's a player and has many women around. He has been very upset with me for the same thing....I feel like I made a misstep that hurt him, but he refuses to communicate with me on anything that deals with his feelings.

We have been together three more nights since then. When we're together he has been extremely affectionate...more so than any other man I've ever been with. Even in public when we've gone out with his friends. He always has to be touching or holding me, kissing my forehead, etc. I can see his feelings for me in his eyes. But ever since that emotionally overwhelming sex and a fight we had after that, he has not had sex with me. We'll sleep all night completely entwined, and he'll kiss my forehead, etc. but no sex. I let it go the past two times....we were both sick one night, and I let his "I have to get up early" excuse fly another time. But last night, I got upset. We hadn't seen each other in a month....due to arguments we've barely been talking. It was the same thing...tons of cuddling and affection all night, and when we got in bed, he just wanted to continue to cuddle but no sex. I tried discussing why this is happening, but he refused to talk about it, so I got up and left....it's just so weird to me that he won't sleep with me, and I didn't want to stay there and have my feelings intensify if his have changed.

So my question.....why would he be so extremely lovey and affectionate, seem so happy to see me, but then not kiss me or have sex with me?? I've heard opinions from many friends about this, and they range from he's probably seeing someone else, he's afraid of his feelings for you, or he has an STD. I'm coming here for some insight from fellow Capricorns to try to figure this out...I don't know whether to move on and forget him, or to apologize and be patient with him. I'm in love with him, but aside from the moments we are physically together in person when he's so sweet and affectionate, it sure seems like he doesn't care about me. When I left the other night, he actually told me to go.

It feels almost like if I'm reading my story with another cap.. how long have you been seeing each other?

Mine was an actual one night stand after meeting him at a business party, I don't know what got into me but I felt so attracted to him and he told me the same. somehow we had sex, I didn't have a drink, I got lost with him. He did drink (which is why I took him to his house)

we kept seeing eachother and having sex after going out and he would be so affectionate with me in public, kissing, hugging me.

Now, I barely see him, it's been 2 months without sex, we are not dating..but he also has a legal case which is why we are not kissing or having sex. (his words) last time I saw him 2 weeks ago he said he wants to buy a house so I can stay as much as I want (jokingly) (he lives with parents kind of far) and now he was telling me all happy that he will be buying a house soon!

in these past 2 weeks I have asked him to see him (he works a lot) we text sometimes, even a day or 2 pass without a text or call from him.. the n all of a sudden he's back.

I was with another Cap for 11 yrs and he was very short tempered, we had a lot of issues bc of immaturity.

And no sex I think it means that they wanna show you that they care about YOU, not the sex with YOU. I think you should respect that instead of getting upset, they are laid back, romantic, maybe you should just ask him what's going on..?

Caps are very title-conscious imo, so if you don't have one then he might think you are out of line by being jealous about his social media. Remember, he probably has strict ideas about what you may expect from him and vice versa depending on your title.

At this stage, I would gently ask and be extremely patient. If he's still spending time with you, that's a good sign. Stopping sex might mean that he's observing you and deciding on things.

Don't be afraid to tell him if you want something serious.

Outside of what was mentioned, trying to figure out what he wants- you hurt him, the other reason could be that the sex wasn't good (to him). It happens- you felt an amazing connection- the other person is like "meh". Happens to the best of us.

Honestly, that is the reason I keep coming too in my mind. Cause If I wanted some distance between us I wouldn't be that affectionate. However, if I really liked you but the sex was bad, I may try to build intimacy another way to see if that can help.

I think after that last time he has realised how much it is affecting you(and him - they look like they don't see anything but surely, he has seen how overwhelmed you felt) and is perhaps waiting to establish a relationship first and then take things further, it wouldn't be nice to continue having physical relationship with you and not give yourselves any title... he's doing you a big favor imo.
