Posted by truecapThats interesting to hear from a Cap. Maybe he frames it this way. Fire signs move so fast, implosive and instinctual I would say my cusp keeps me slower and harder to read. I vacillate between both. I am an instinct person and I'm very picky. So when someone catches my attention I take that to heart. When theres chemistry I pay attention. Its rare. When the verbal/mental repoire is strong it grabs me even more. I've never met anyone that could spar mentally like him. And I mean that playfully, word play, banter, etc. I just feel hot cold from him and it makes me wanna know what is going on and if I should bail/protect myself. I know we are both scared. I was hurt not so long ago by another earth sign. I don't wanna go that route again. Also, I just wanna be happy/be with the right person. Otherwise I will focus on my career.
You've only known him for two weeks. Don't you think you're jumping out of the gate a little too fast? I just don't understand how you can have all these feelings for someone you barely know. Fire signs just move way too fast for me.

Posted by underwaterthingYou've known each other 1-2 weeks and hung out several times already. Plus he contacts you daily.
Sometimes he is Vanish. But he's definitely too old for that. And yet, I admire his 'free' lifestyle.
Andalusia....you have a great point. You really do. I experienced the pace frustration with a Taurus. But I have mixed feelings. on the one hand it frustrates me, on the other hand it feels safe. My ego wants someone to come forward, but if they do- I don't want to feel sexual pressured or emotionally and that would freak me out. But its something to keep my eye on. I don't feel its a pace thing with him. More like- hot and cold. Which is not a good sign......IMO
I am about to dub him as emotionally unavailable.

You said yourself caps are slow.
Anyone that moves too fast, makes me run

Posted by AndalusiaThank you. I will give that some deep thought. Very good introspection questions.Posted by underwaterthingYou've known each other 1-2 weeks and hung out several times already. Plus he contacts you daily.

So, I'd say, some questions to ask yourself and/or food for thought:
1. What is your ideal communication/dynamic in a relationship, in terms of frequency and otherwise?
2. Why are the answers to questions 1 your ideal? Is it because it's what you're used to or is it what you truly need?click to expand
Posted by truecapI built a foundation of 2 years of friendship with a Taurus and 3 years of a relationship and in the end it was garbage. So I don't think theres any one way to go about it. The earth sign way isn't the only way.
Maybe it's because you're basing everything on vibe and chemistry and not takinecessarily the time to build a foundation, or waiting to see if you have mutual values.


Posted by truecapTrue. Yea thanks. this clicks for me. And yes, I forget my vibe too..which honestly is usually very shy and very quiet around him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's confused about me too.
But you're dealing with an earth sign, so understanding their way of thinking is important, dont you think?
Most people don't put this much thought into it at two weeks. So you may not be moving fast physically, but you are jumping ahead mentally. It's ok, it's a Leo trait, but it sets you up for disappointment when you get this excited so early and build things up in your mind, then the reality doesn't match what's in your head. The might be why you're not "feeling the vibe" plus, He can read your vibe, so my advice is just chill and let things work out organically.
Posted by champrangerPosted by underwaterthingYou're reading too much into what he is saying, imo. As far as his actions go, what has he done so far that shows he's interested? Did he ask you for coffee? Did he offer to help you with anything?
Errrr
I just looked at my phone
(after being convinced I'm friendzoned/feeling blue)
And see he texted, "Dream sweetly."
.....!? I'm so confused. Do guys text that to their friends? I think not. But everything else I got from him today was screaming friend friend friend.
I cannot figure him out.click to expand

Posted by underwaterthingeverything is going well, dont overanalyze
He has. We spent every night time alone. He left the show full of his friends to go with me. I don't think someone who was just friends would be texting good morning good night texts or taking me out into the middle of the forest for an AM cuddle session/star viewing. I'm pretty sure though, if something doesn't go down here, I can assume there is something wrong! He is talking about oh I cant bring this blanket, it's not big enough to share. I'll have to upgrade. Little subtle things like that. And I appreciate you reading it carefully. Perhaps it was I that didn't include all of the details.
We can all just see how Tuesday goes. I have a hunch it will be VERY telling

Posted by truecapYou know, you're kind of a bitch.
Two weeks....and so much energy worrying.....
In a couple of weeks, she'll be posting...."Why did he stop calling/texting...Why is he pulling away?"
Mark my words.
Posted by faith $ golphinMakes sense. Thank you.
I’m a Leo women too that was seeing a Cap man off and on, it seems like forever. We’ve been through a lot of different phases and you need to relax with him. Stop being so impatient and let him guide whatever it’s going to be between y'all. If you act too anxious so soon your gonna run him away forever. He needs time to developing feelings for you like that and if you rush him that’s is not a good idea. You need to just go with the flow and not be pushing or aggressive because that will scare him off. If you can’t develop some patience with this man he is not for you!!!

Posted by underwaterthingI never said he didn't like you. It sounds like he does.Posted by truecapYou know, you're kind of a bitch.

I'm saying slow your roll and steady yourself or you'll run him off.

Posted by underwaterthingthey only disappear if they are wishy washy and are jumping from one backburner to the other. if he is sincere and not an immature asshole with other chicks he's checking out at the same time he won't disappear. men only do that 99% of the time because they keep checking their options. a huge no no for my cap venus lol
Finally kissed me. Was...just perfect. He said he wanted to kiss me 'for a while' and 'wasn't sure if i liked him' hmmm that sounds familiar.
He was surprisingly sweet cuddly. Ill see him again this weekend. I can tell we just need to communicate bc we are so different. The rest is all out of my control. Just trying to be honest, kind, authentic, loving. We will see what the future holds. Also I'm prepping myself for those famous capricorn disappearing acts I've been hearing about.

Posted by AquaNextDoorYou are welcome! No it wasn't the same event. Turns out he didn't even end up at that one but another one. He was texting me all night from there so it cant have been that interesting LOL. I think he wanted me to meet him (why else would you tell the exact location / info/ say its 'soooo cool' ? ) But I need him to ask or I'm not going! Besides I have things to do :p
Ooowww thank you 🙂 🙂
That event he was posting is that the event u told him that u'd show up? If so then just show up as u already told him so.
Maybe try to make the first bold move by saying "I'd love to see you tonight/tomorrow (or whenever) could u make time for me? I'd love to go to the movies/dining etc"
After that let him work for u. Caps need a confident woman
Good luck 🙂

I could really use your help on this cause I am all the way confused.
1st I'm in my 30s leo/virgo cusp dealing with a ...ahem very unique 33 year old Capricorn. We have only known each other about a week or two. We've hung out 3 or 4 times now. Every day he texts me ...all day. I usually don't go for that but his banter is supreme. He's hilarious, clever, and one of the few that can keep up with my wit so I am delighting in that. So I will just put it out there, I really like the guy. Part of me has a love for him. But hey, typical leo, idealizing....I admire him as a musician, which I am as well. We are different because he is VERY MUCH a hippie. He's fully committed to that hippie artist life. I tend to blur between business /art worlds.
I know Capricorns are SLOW but I was feeling the vibes with him, and they dissipate pretty quickly! I'm a vibe person, I can tell when someone is feeling me but,sometimes with him I feel nothing. Plus he hasn't tried to kiss me. He can be skittish too with touch. He's sending mixed signals. Here's what I'm getting from him:
He Likes me signs: A few days ago the texts were getting very sweet/romantic. He was 'planning to meet me in dreams' and we were very sweet and familiar. I could tell I was saying the right things and we were really on the same vibe. As early as the night before last I went to his show (he killed it..swoon) he paid for my entry and made sure I had a good seat. Then he left all his friends to go with me. We hung out in the car and then decided to go to a park. I grabbed his arm and locked mine in it. Then he put his arm around me ...for like, a minute and kind of rubbed my back (not sensual tho, more I will warm you up). And then, that was it lol. The vibes ENDED. Also I feel like he pays attention to where I'm going/tries to place himself near. Or lets me know when he's nearby (is he hinting?) but doesn't ask me to hang. He did that today and I had found a cool abandoned place I thought he'd wnna go so we went. I mean, it should have been romantic. Alone in the dark together...but he is aloof and we weren't close hardly at all! I was NOT feeling his vibe. At one point he was close to me and got something in his eye so I leaned over and blew into it. And just felt nothing. I wanted him to kiss me, but he had me questioning should I even go for it? Then we went to his friend's party...I felt like I was just another friend? Also something that hurt my feelings, I gave him contact solution cause his eyes were hurting and he was like oh this is gonna hurt my eyes. I was like no it will cleanse then trust me. And he reacted strongly to that phrase and rejected it. ....... At the beginning of the week he was giving me gifts. A painting. Things he's found. Now I'm the one giving gifts... a cd. And I just am not feeling that vibe from him anymore. It's upsetting actually cause I really dig him. I do sense that he is afraid of love/can be a player (wannabe)
I just do
