I’m a Gemini woman seeing a Capricorn man. I already know that our signs are heavily incompatible but we have a lot of the same beliefs and values.

So I’ve been seeing this Capricorn for a number of months and everything was going really well. The other week we met up and he shared a lot with me about his life. About his family, a lot about his past and we shared our views on life and death etc. It was so intimate to the point I found it scary lol because I don’t handle intimacy well. The next day I sent him a message about that night and how how I wanted to be patient and see how things went. He shared that my soul had connected with him in a way that surprised him. Two weeks ago he invited me out clubbing with him and his friends and I got on really well with all of them. There wasn’t much pda cause I know he hates that so I respected that and made sure to keep things light and friendly in front of his friends. But he still made sure to put his arm around me and make it known we were together.

He’s weird because something like that will happen. I.e the night together or meeting his friends and then he won’t ever bring it up again and act like it never happened. Whereas me I want to talk about it to death lol.

This week he told me he would be really busy with work but that I could meet him at carnival on the Monday (yesterday). However days leading up to it he stopped responding to my messages. So I didn’t end up seeing him.

The day he stopped responding id sent him an analysis of him. As that night we had spent together he basically went through what he thought of me and literally analysed my whole life lol. So I thought I’d do the same considering he had asked me to. I’m not sure if my analysis struck a nerve or was just too accurate. I basically did it in the same way he did it and made sure not to push any boundaries just basically summing up pretty obvious things like his issues with abandonment. Feel like I’ve basically flipped things on him and he doesn’t know how to take it.

He mentioned to me that he loves testing people because loyalty is really big to him. For example around new people he might leave a pound coin somewhere or his wallet to see if the person touches it or moves it in some way to see if he can trust them. I wonder if this another one of his weird tests.

Do you think I may have done something wrong or I may just be over analysing the situation. I can really talk to the person I like from morning till night and now I’ve find someone who isn’t like that I’m going in to panic mode lol. But I’m willing to be patient and I’ve curbed all my urges to message him and have left him alone.

Should I just wait for him to respond?

You either hurt him someway with the analysis or he is taking the needed "Capricorn space" to over analyze the situations and his feelings for you. Capricorns are big on time alone. It can be days to months sometime depending on what other issues they have in life. But if they are into you they always come back. Give him his space, mirror him, and don't bring it up when he comes back.

Think this is why the Gemini/Capricorn combo is difficult because a few days feels like a few years!! Let alone months. I feel things are possibly moving too quickly for him and he also has a lot going on at work. So that’s taking up most of his time and attention so I guess I just have to keep myself preoccupied in the time being.

I am a Cancer Sun Gemini Moon, almost a year dealing with my Cappy with snail pace progress (lots of emotional damage). We stopped talking for 3 months once. Trust that it is difficult but like they say love is patient. If you are really into this Cap you have to find it in you to give him the time, if not just give up. 6 months ago I was going crazy but when he came back everything was different. I put all my emotions away and mirrored him. He slowly shows me small changes but we are getting there.

Heads up if you’re looking for constant and consistent communication especially over emotional/relationship matters then most likely this sign is not for you.

Best way to describe Caps communication style is “silent understanding”. Of course everyone regardless of sign is part of the social human family so there will be communication and sharing of feelings but witj Caps its sporadic.

Also if you haven’t read this book “Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus” you should. Its great insight into men psyche and i think especially helpful with Cap men too.

I know I’m so used to consistently talking to someone that this has thrown me completely off and I’m trying to adapt to his communication style . He’s definitely someone worth waiting for so I guess it’s something I have to get used to lol and it’ll help me practice my patience. Cause at least in person he’s very talkative

Definitely worth the wait I just have to practice the whole mirroring thing because I don’t hold back on things ever

Im dealing with Cap as well.

Actually, I known this Cap for over 2 decades/ 21 years. We only been talking on and off for 4 years (you know how caps are indecisive and go dissappears alot)..So finally he says he wants to make us a couple and we started a relationship 10 days ago. One day we was talking about sex and I told him, that I rather wait and he said it was fine. The next day he tells me that he dont understand why Im making him wait and that we should have sex. I told him i would like to get to know him better first since we been on and off, I feel like there is alot more to learn about each other. His response is that I need to trust him more and we know enough about one another...and If he cant have all of me since we are in a relationship then he rather us break up until Im comfortable. I even said why dont he just go stroke his peepee until im ready, which he decline (I didnt really mean for him to actually do that but I just felt like I needed another option here. I really want to be with him but he is making this hard for me. I even ask him a simple question the other day about "Why did he and his Ex broke up" and his response was its not important...however he did tell me about other ex that he cheated on because they were having relationship problems and sex was not as good anymore. I told him Im not into multiple partners or cheating and his response was "As long as u are on your A game then Ill be on my A game and u have nothing to worry about because I only want to have sex with you." I really care about this capricorn and I feel I finally got the guy I liked for 20+ years. I dont know what to do as far as should I just go with the flow A) Have sex with him B) leave him...

I would say if you’re not ready to have sex with him then don’t rush into it cause If he’s serious about you he should respect your boundaries and wait

Anyway after 6 days the Capricorn finally responded. Obviously he offered no explanation to his disappearance just said my analysis was accurate and carried on as normal... don’t understand how you guys can handle this lol. I let him know next time he wants to dissapear to just let me know he needs space because it makes me anxious and now I’m just waiting on his response. My only issue is I’m moving back to uni next week and not sure if we’ve built a strong enough foundation to test the long distance thing. As I still don’t know how he feels about me. He seems to show me through his actions but this who disappearing act has thrown me off. But doesn’t seem like a big deal to him

He's not responding. Ditch him. A girl who has options won't wait. A girl with options will have too many choices to date to wait on one measly text message. Plus 6 days is way too long especially since you made plans to meet up for Carnival. He's just not that into you. Stop waiting, stop analyzing him. You're chasing him with your energy. Giving a man your attention whose ignoring you is the equivalent of chasing him. Chase him he will run. You're leaving for Uni soon so forget him and go have some fun before you leave. Just when you've decided to move on he'll pop back into your life and then you can decide to accept him or reject him. FYI deep down he knows he deserves rejection. Don't let him back in so easily, if at all.

Six days is nothing for a Cap. Sometimes we don't even contact for 2-3 weeks or even a month. That doesn't mean we aren't thinking of you, we have other things to take care of, sometimes we take more time than the other person to feel the same emotions. But when we come back we come back stronger.

That's bs to a certain degree. Cap males don't contact 2-3 weeks when they're not really interested. When a woman demonstrate a certain level of high value a Cap won't chance it. They only pull that disappearing act on women they want to keep as an option. A Cap male will chance it when they don't feel the woman can ad value to his life to begin with. He know that woman is waiting on love. The moment she waits on a 3 week text he's already got her (she's caught) so there is no real urgency to be involved with her. I've dated Caps. I'm married to a Cap and he knew he'd lose me if he tried it.

In the initial stages when we don't feel the same as the girl then we do disappear sometimes. It's not like we are doing it on purpose. We have work occupying our mind, other things etc. If the girl wants to leave then leave, we aren't that emotionally invested then. And again it depends on how we feel about you, sometimes we don't feel that strongly like you do and don't feel the need for constant communication. But we do come back if we are interested in you and then we are more responsive.

Again this is semi bs (excuse making for poor behavior). For this kind of Cap The Cap had made plans to meet up with her but cut communication days before the date. Who drops communication after making plans with that person? An unavailable asshole.

Caps (the mature Caps) don't string Women along. The immature Caps play out these subtle covert push pull control type of situations with women.

He's not worth waiting for. Honey do what you gotta do but just know this is the kind of Cap that will not be there for you when you need him.

Oh I know this one for a fact! Had a fallout with my Cap guy/friend and we stopped talking for 6 weeks, then when I told him I missed our friendship, he told me he missed it too, and things were even more intensified when we started hanging out again.

I've never dealt with a Caps disappearing act.

Out of 2 where I know feelings are mutual, they were/are always available to me.

The cap I dated would give me an explanation as to why plans would fall through(which was rare) and I never asked for it but was appreciative he did give it.

He made it up the following day depending on how busy he was or within the week by spending more time with me.

I agree with @tiki33... but.. who am I to tell you how to live your life, we all do things differently.

I’ve pretty much realised his behaviour has nothing to do with me and everything to do with himself. Since that night we spent together in which he shared his most intimate secrets he’s done everything to keep a distance between us. Inviting me out with his friends, inviting me to carnival, offering to now meet me at my work (I work at a busy club/restaurant. All of these settings which avoid allowing us to be intimate again. I don’t think he’s avoiding me because he doesn’t like me but cause he’s not ready to face the deeper stuff

How about you stop analyzing him and stop fixating on sharing intimacy with him and stop needing to talk about the deeper stuff, that's not fun and can come across as manipulative and uncomfortable. Let it go. Dating is supposed to be fun and knowing one another typically unfolds naturally over time. He's avoiding you.

I agree. I dated Cap men, they never disappeared on me. 😉.
