Capricorn Man Slow to Commit: What It Usually Means

A Capricorn man is often slow to commit because he wants proof that the relationship is stable before he moves forward. In real situations, that can look like careful texting, cautious pacing, and not rushing labels—even when he is interested. If he keeps showing up, starts making concrete plans, and stays consistent, that is usually a better sign than big romantic talk.

I have been talking to a capricorn guy for one year. He seems to really like me and he has said it various time. And I got to know from one of his friends that he likes me.

Now the problem is that he does express his love.

Sometimes, he stops contacting me for a few days and I decide to move on. But just when I stop texting and calling him. He comes back and become a little clingy and complains why i am ignoring him when its him who dissappears.

We have gone on dates a few times. But he is not talking it further.

OP, I've been in a relationship with my CAP for 7 months.. (to me that's a long time) but they are very slow in the beginning.. He does the same, is emotional, tells me how much he likes me, that he misses me.. etc., then gets busy and goes distant for a bit.. then comes back.. I don't think it's intentional but it's in their nature in general.. Not too sure if Cap men are great at multitasking and balancing everything they have going on so they tend to focus more on one thing at a time.. doesn't mean their feelings are different for you. I'm learning that. Whenever I get to thinking negatively about his behavior, I'm always proven wrong by his actions... They mean well.. & are very honest in general.. Just ask him where he sees your relationship going.. I did it.. Asked him how he feels about us and he told me straight up, I really like you, I'm only talking to you more at the moment.. & our first date he told me I was his.. I also told him not to waste my time and he said he's not and he won't.. Just saying, you gotta be direct with folk like them!

I agree with what the ladies have said. I would add, however, that you might want to keep in mind the fact that going a day or two with out much chit-chat isn't an issue for us. I wouldn't go so far as to call that "disappearing". If you need constant communication, then ask for it. Otherwise it will be assumed you are OK with the status quo

So you are contacting him on the days he stops contacting you?

No, I do not contact him in that period. After a few days (1 week max) he comes back and complains that I'm ignoring him. When clearly he was the one who started it.

In this past year, has he had any other girlfriend or fling? Is he shy, or, does he have a crazy business-life or chaotic work-life? All of this matters, and I'll tell you why when you answer..

No he hasn't had any girlfriend or fling. He does have a very chaotic work life and often expresses he has stress because of that.

That means he likes you if there's a lapse in communication it means he's going crazy with work I'm thinking, if you move away from him when he gets in these zones of thinking about work he'll keep you at a distance because he thinks you won't be loyal and stick around. Try reaching out where there is silence, it shows you care
