Capricorn and huge lies

So, I know this is a strange story. Most of you will find it quite entertaining.

I met this capricorn guy about a year back. We lived in different cities and used to meet whenever he was visiting my city. Two days back, I came to know that both of us live in the same city. I only felt like I could have taken a stab to my heart much easily then this. I still haven't told him that I know. At the time when we started seeing each other, he told me he has trust issues, had a two girlfriends in the past. During our courtship, he told me his work had gone for a nosedive and he will be soon fired.

We never had any physical relationship and he knows it won't happen unless we are married.
Otherwise, he's the typical capricorn guy, work obsessed, good looking, a bit reserved or so he claims etc. etc. You name a Capricorn trait and he has it.

Capricorn Guys, please can you tell me why did he do this ? Any explanations would be really helpful and help me heal.

I'm not a capricorn but I don't think this was about you.

It seems like he has self-esteem issues. Due to money problems maybe. Or perhaps he is in a relationship and unhappy or he is seeing other girls but doesn't want you to find out because he knows you are serious about relationships.. Who knows ? He probably lied to you because he doesn't have the time or the money to see you more often. I can't see any other reason. He knows he can't have sex with you so his interest must be genuine. I think you should confront him about this and hear what he has to say. Tell him that you are not going to trust him for a while.

Guys,

Money is not an issue with him. I know for sure, and his money or no money hardly matters. I am earning quite well myself.

Do you think it might be due to the fact that maybe he has been deeply hurt in the past and is trying to figure out how much I am into him. For months, I felt that I was the one initiating and keeping in touch with him.

M, what do you think it is then, if it's not a lying issue ? Maybe he had a troubled childhood ? I don't want to confront him right now, maybe after my anger comes under control. I am just clueless.

What should I do ?

What lies? I'm confused. Please clarify.

He did not tell me that he was living in the same city, but told me that he lived almost 600 miles away..

Why don't you tell him about this ? His reaction will be more enlightening than any of our answers here.

Maybe he is ashamed of where he lives or he still lives with his parents or someone else?

What?

He's not lying to you about where he lives because of his past relationships. Wake up.

He's hiding something.

This ^^.

Ask him. See what he says. Maybe he just moved. Otherwise, I wouldn't take him seriously and I'd drift away from him.
