Hey Guys and I am new to this forum. I would like some constructive advice on what happened to me. I know I can never actually know the real reason but I suppose it doesn't hurt to get some insight from capricorn men only, please.

Here we go....

I am online dating (ok cupid) last year and this capricorn man initiated the conversation and started talking to me. He is a late January capricorn (if that's of any help). Anyways, his messages were very long, had depth and thought out. He first messages me and says I am very attractive and asks a question about an interest of mine. I responded within the hour....he responded back in a very detailed reply and asked me what I did for work. I responded back...asking him a question in detail and asking what he does as well. This was very late into the night and I noticed he signed in again the very next morning to probably view my message. I was hoping he was going to respond. BAM, NO RESPONSE.

Anyways, till that day ... nothing! I messaged him back a couple weeks later (this would have been months ago) not commenting on his lack of response but instead asking him a nice question. FYI: I knew his name because he wrote it on his profile which allowed me to once check his facebook. AGAIN, NO RESPONSE. I didn't bother to message him again (that would look pathetic). But I have a big crush on this guy, now 😢 It's been a year. I don't want to be judged for crushing on someone I haven't met. It's clearly a physical attraction but a very strong one.

He is very alluring, seems so distant though. Unreadable and seems very busy with work.

How could someone show sooooo much interest in someone and give them their time and detailed attention and not respond back? Even if he responded back he could at least give his number to meet me once, or text me to gauge. I would never message someone unless I was interested and I know he was serious. I'm a very desireable woman (at least most men want me) and intelligent. He has remained single very since. So I don't understand!?

(p.s. I know for a fact at the time he didn't have a job at the time (changing positions) and he was working on a work project. Whether or not that was a factor)

I told him I was starting my own job (self-employed) and perhaps he felt he wasn't ready to pursue me? That's the only thing I could think of that makes sense. Nothing I said would have turned him off and he didn't find someone else.

Gah!!!!!!!!!! Pisces....do not message him again.
If that man wanted you...he would message you again. Read that ask a Cap thread...they all say that they do not put in effort or waste time on people they are not into. That sucks I know, something about that back and forth just turned him off and who the hell knows what it could be. But you are obsessing and that's not good for you mermaid...just keep swimming

Couldn't agree more! I need to move on from this and will have to find someone else. I appreciate the advice guys 🙂

Here's the sad part....I still see him signing in everyday. I admit I watch him on the sidelines (just like a capricorn I suppose, lol). Wishful thinking on my part but I feel he does so to me. I'm a pisces so my instincts are tingling. I just can't message him again....to possibly be rejected again. The pain would hurt me.

I've been called miss universe (not to sound conceited but my looks aren't the issue here). I have the brains to back it up. Ugh!! The one guy I want I can't get.
Maybe you want him BECAUSE he's the one you can't get...

The real question here is why are you obsessed with this dude who you've only had a few typed conversations with.

If you truly know that you are a "desirable woman that many men want" it makes me question your 'picker'. Why arent you dating these other men who flock to you instead of focusing on this Cap who clearly does not see you as a priority.

Do you find yourself attracted to the unavailable? Fantasizing about the man who goes ghost? Throwing your energy into relationships doomed from the start?

It's a question I've thought about for a while. To be honest, I don't know. I have a career in the legal field, friends and I have been dating around. But he is the one that I've wanted for a while. His looks, charisma and just his overall aura. *sigh*, but I know logically I have to move on. The heart wants him though 😢

You had a few conversations, you thought there could be a connection. I get that.

I also get that as a Pisces we live in a dream world. In order to move pass this you need to acknowledge that most (all) of this is in your head.



Your heart doesn't want HIM.

Your heart wants the fantasy your head has created.

Have you ever been with someone that you thought, during the beginning dating stages, was the epitome of perfect? We all have. It's that rose colored film over our eyes that makes us think they can do no wrong.

But at some point reality sets in and we realize their human with flaws just like anyone.

Could be it happens on the first date...(he chews to loudly, he's rude to the waiter, etc).

Or after you move in together..(why can't he remember to put the toilet seat down?)

Or once married around the holidays with his family...(is he really gonna let his mother talk to me like that...?).

Point is, your still stuck behind those rose colored glasses. You've got to take them off and get on with life. I guarantee you he isn't spending sleepless nights, or anytime really, thinking about you.

Hi,

While waiting more replies on my post ----- may I shed some light in my opinion?

I think he saw and observed you were online too.

There must be something that make him not feeling to give you respond. What happen in the middle before he stop responding?

He find you are not interested, need to be more direct I guess. Let him know or ask straight what happen?

You will know from his response that he is no longer interested with you (entertaining you) or perhaps he met someone already.

If such case, please move on, do not ever feel sad.

Hope it helps^^

I'm wondering if you've just built him up in your mind. Person to person, he may be none of these things. Perhaps you're obsessed with the fantasy of him instead of the reality of him.

Any guy you date can't compete with the fantasy man you've made this Cap man out to be.

It's a shame you didn't actually meet face to face to shatter that perfect sheen you've built around him.
I am probably living in some fantasy that he is waiting for some moment to strike again (wishful thinking). Okay guys!! I am going to stop thinking of him and noticing him online starting today. Gotta start sometime, right? We will see what happens.

Get off line altogether. I tried online dating and it was one failure after another. I'm convinced those 'success' stories you hear are the minority.

Get out and meet dudes in rl. That quiet guy in your yoga class. Friends of friends. The young man standing behind you in the checkout line. Wear a smile and the world will deliver.
