Do you guys like it or feel comfy when a woman your woman strokes your ego. I express to my cap man how sexu he is or how he turns me on and sometimes I am not sure how it makes him feel. I think it makes him feel shy. But I guess if I didnt say how I feel he might wonder too. My compliments are sincere. It took me a long time to get with him, I just want him to know Ive finally figured out how wonderful he is...Ill hold back some though if its to much..

Thank you Juke, thats very helpful. He shows affection in his way. @Quietstorm. Ive been knowing him 20 years just been romantically involved again since June of this year. Everything is sincere. I didnt even know how or care to stroke a mans ego til now. I do send texts and he loves em, but sometimes I still feel he may be a bit shy. Thanks for your advice...

Aqua86 exactly where he kind of changes the subject. Like last week We were texting he started it off by sending me a couple of beautiful songs. Then we did some verbal texting at which I told him how I am for his undying unconditional love blah, blah....He was at work, but a hour or so later he sent me a video of a rapping UPS man. *blank stare* lol. I just shrugged it off. He does that sometimes. Its just funny and weird.

Thanks Nicrblitz, you are right. We have shared many sentimental moments and he says to me please don't make me cry. lol. There have been days where he shedded a few tears he doesnt like to though, but I don't guess he could help it. But if he can avoid it he does with moving around or changing the subject...lol

Nic what kind of compliments are you ok with? I want to compliment my Cappy but I know he gets jittery with it although I believe deep down he likes them. Example: He was sick and I said "you always look good to me"....he smiled. Thats all I needed to know he was fine with compliment. Should we just be subtle with them??

I dont think he minds the compliments, I think it has alot to do with the mood he's in. Caps have a moody side yall know lol. He hides it or tries too.oddly his love language is words of affirmation..Its not causing our relationship any problems it was just something my observant nature noticed. And uh he can be a bit heavy on the compliments as well. Lol nut I like it and if its not sincere im smart enough to know that. No biggie he means well, cause if my cold nature kicks in he has to pull out the big guns to warm me up again...lol

Striking, IIRC, you're Pisces female in a long term r/s with a Cap male right? I think Caps are suspicious of compliments if it comes from someone they hardly know. Their bs radar goes up ( just like the discriminatingly sharp Virgos). But if it comes from someone who has stood by them for years, they take it seriously. It may seem as if outwardly they are uncomfortable ( Caps usually come from a harsh background & are seldom given any real appreciation. Hence they are not used to it) but inwardly, your positive words would probably make him glow. Just don't overdo it.

Thanks Beowolf: I know that he loves my compliments and gestures of adoration, I think it just makes him shy at times. And I also think he has to pinch himself to make sure he's really hearing this because awhile back we were only friends. BUT im filing away all the info I get on Cap men if uts to use for myself or pass it along to other women..keep it coming..

Yeah, this seems quite true..

Too many compliments too soon and I frown... well even if I know the person well I might frown...or give a a shy smile...or get overemotional and feel like smothering them in a hug but just feel really awkward doing it, so I don't and instead I fidget...and frown

So...Do you Capricorns frown a lot?

*Looks in mirror* I guess I do, haha.

This reminds me of something one of my colleagues teases me about. I work in retail and sometimes people are really happy in the way I helped them and they thank me enthousiastically. I usually just smile and take a small bow. 😛

In personal relationships however, that doesn't really work. Most of the time I just mutter something about enjoying it just as much as they do, not knowing what else to say. This is especially funny with my Scorpio best friend right now, who has a way of pouting her whole hart out around me. And I secretly love it. 😉

P.S. This forum is weird... what's going on here.
