Capricorn strike out

So I decide to text Capricorn to see what his vibe is. Why the weird behavior?

Text him giving him advice on where to meet people since he's in a new city. At the orientation he had asked this question.

He sees what's app message and responds 5 hours later saying Aw thanks. We gotta go out sometime. I get the feeling you're a pro (insert salsa here)

So I respond say not pro but I do know a thing or two, wink face and I ask if he dances

He says no thoroughly a beginner.

I respond 2 hrs later because I was bogged down with work and say well you're in the best place to learn (because where we are it's salsa capital.)

He reads the message and doesn't respond.

Still hasn't responded.

Saw him today and the first thing he does is to say hi and give me a hug.

I did a presentation and while I know he was listening, he was looking down most of the time on his phone.

Our eyes locked a couple times but I can't tell if that was just casual scanning the room or something more.

why won't he approach and show signs in person if he likes me?

You guys work together? That's probably why.

What happened to this below? I don't think you texted him to get his "vibe" lol. ... I wouldn't travel down this road lil miss "I know a thing or two" (wink face) lol
Best to keep it professional, and work friends.


"Exactly Greentea,

But what I was getting at is, it doesn't mean either of us will allow anything to happen. Neither did I say I was going to act on it.
Or else I would have approached the guy sheesh.

But if he is attracted and doesn't intend to act on it why can't he carry on a normal conversation?"



Also he said hi, and gave you a hug. What more do you want? You want him to drool all over you... that's not gonna happen.

Sounds like OP really wants the Cap to like her.

Oh, totally. I wouldn't be so focused on making sure someone likes me and wondering about their every move if I only had intentions of being work friends/colleagues/manager. She wants the D. Lol

Well let's just say it's curiosity. But also, I have thought about it. Bear in mind too, I'm a gemini and we like when people like us and we change like the wind. So that's why I can be interested to find out if he likes me but not have any intention on following through.

So you just want to have an ego stroke, or be a tease?

I just want to know if I'm reading into something that's my own imagination or if these are things Capris do when they like you?

So you're saying he's not going to try to do anything more than what he's already done?

Or he can just think you're attractive and may just want to be friends. We don't "like" everyone we deem attractive or want anything more than friendship, you're also a manager so ya, he wants to keep a good repor.

I'm sure he wants to do well within the company. He is a Cap.

Okay so I guess using boss and manager is being very strict. Our company is actually a volunteer program to teach English abroad. I'm just someone who does training and immersion into a new culture. It's totally relaxed. In fact my partner who is actually the guy's direct superior has a very informal, jokey relationship with him. So it's not strike employer employee situation. We're also all travelers and the same age group

no..it's volunteer work

Ah, so the truth comes out... you're a horney 20 something and want to bang this guy..the atmosphere is like a college dorm. He's the cute new guy and you want his attention to be on you, but he's playing hard to get and like you're just some normal girl, when all the other guys notice you right away... and your coy flirtatiousness isn't enough.

LOL! GO CAPS!

Lol. He's the one who was blushing and avoiding eye contact ..so playing hard to get I don't think.


I haven't flirted with him. In fact, I have a Capricorn moon so I'm pretty serious around him.

Just wanted to know why he has been having such strong reactions.

My first thought would be he likes me..

but then it could also possibly be that he dislikes me intensely haha

which is why i come to the CAP experts...

Ya, get him out and have a good time. You'll probably get the D if you try hard enough. He is still a guy after all.

In a corporate work environment and you being an actual manager of his, it would most likely be a totally different outcome.

it's more like the signs that i mentioned like saying we gotta go out sometime, the avoiding eye contact, the awkward behavior if I am right to read these as signs Capris give to show the do like someone esp if they are trying to hide it.

OR

Am I just being paranoid and reading into these specific signs as more than what they are and the avoiding contact means he actually dislikes me?

I've done that, blush and avoid eye.contact..most of the time it's because I know they like me.

And I may or not like them back in that way...that's why I avoid eye contact. If I like them, I would be more open to giving them hints , even if it's out.of my.comfort zone. I will make sure they know I like then back.

and in that case of blushing and avoiding eye contact ...you didn't like them back?

Sometimes I would like them, I just wasn't at the point where I wanted to reciprocate. I needed more time.

What kind of hints?

Smiling a lot around you, I'd let you catch me staring at you, make eye contact and then look away. Then try to approach at a "convenient" time & have actual conversations. Its a process. This is all after I've been watching you for a while.

we change like the wind. .

He probably senses this, too. He's the new shiny object that has your attention. When a new shiny object comes along, they will have your attention instead. If he senses this about you, he probably wouldn't be willing to invest.
