Caps and Messaging

no! you're not crazy.
caps are just weird like that.

i has a similar situation where we were message very often for a while and having convos but at some point he just wouldn't respond and i knew the conversation was over, but then he would send me something new like the next day or whatever.

he was on and off about communication like that for about a month or two, until one day it just stopped. the communication was much more infrequent, and now it's at a point where we no longer have any.
he also is distant from me and lives across the country but had told me last fall he was planning to come back here for the summer but we'll see what actually happens.

i got alot of "you're such an amazing girl" "you're so beautiful" "you're rad" (lol) texts too.
i also question to what extent these statements are accurate, if perhaps he believed it when he said it but now it is no longer true. or if he convinced himself that he liked me as much as he seemed to when we first met? i am unsure of alot when it comes to him.

a lot of things i have read in capricorn threads really relate to him.
these capricorns are strange and confusing fellows, which can really hurt sometimes.

good luck with this one, i'm don't really have advice for you because i am still unsure about my own situation and can only really share my experience in comparison, but hopefully some other people can give you some helpfull insight on this.

ahhh! my typos are killing me

Just do how I do and not believe a word of what comes out of a mans mouth. Don't let them think they are impressing you by stating the obvious(your beautiful etc) lol. It's almost like you either have the Cap that says nothing, or the Cap that says a bunch of empty things.

With your situation transcendentbull it sounds like he is distracted. It could be the distance along with something else on his mind.. When I'd talk to my Cap friend I could always tell when he wasn't "there" or in it mentally. It does seem odd because they are most likely thinking heavily about something else, and trying to find a way to ease their mind by talking to you, but you can feel everything is off. Just tell him that when he's really ready to talk call you.

If he didn't answer your question he was most likely avoiding it. I do that when I don't want to answer something.

Inana, out of curiosity, if you don't want to answer a question, will you avoid it indefinitely? or do you eventually answer?

If it's up to me, I won't ever answer it.

Caps in general are pretty bad at (initiating) communication through phone or even text-messaging, and they'll look at you in shock when you call them out on this shit of theirs 😛

I rarely, rarely actually call anyone. I will text and message - I like to text. Wordier when I'm using a keyboard than when I'm using the phone. Sometimes though, I just don't know what to say. Really depends on my mood. I also don't want to over text someone and drive them crazy. I've had people who just don't know when to quit. Makes me think "wha-at?" lol!!! Other times, I will blow your phone up.

A good morning or good night is great! Lets me know they are thinking about me. I especially like "be careful on your drive home" - I know they really don't expect a lot of responses back. Since I drive through city traffic then interstate to the country, I feel relieved I'm not expected to text anything but aknowledgment and thank you. Etc.

Really depends on the mood.

Shaks is right! We make an effort - we think its good enough. 🙂

Yeah@Shaks. I'm guilty of not initiating texts or calling.

I dunno, my experience was definitely different, when I was involved with a Cap he initiated all the time which included emails and text messages, I don't think I ever initiated because he always beat me too it, it's not like I wouldn't have initiated some communication but he always seemed to beat me to it, he answered every question and asked questions, hated the phone though, didn't like talking over the phone. Never left the conversation hanging.

In general when a man is interested he'll communicate, call, text etc, he won't pick and choose what he'll respond too, that's rude IMO. He was reserved but not rude or dismissive but he was the type of guy when he was through with a person, he was done, he would cut that person off, no communication, no explanations NOTHING especially if he'd already talked to that person about the issue, warned the person about his boundaries prior to cutting that person off.
