How can a person tell when a Capricorn is truly in love?
Do Caps mean it when they say I love you?

Apparently, when they hide their messages. 😆

not from the "i love u"s. those are just words. words of passion at the moment. what really counts is action. does s/he become a better person for you and is always there for you good or bad?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS!!!

A capricorn will show you they love you. We are an action oriented sign.
If we respond to your texts/calls rather quickly (we are excited to hear from you, though you won't know it), we do things for you (we usually just do things that benefit us), we bring you little gifts for no reason (might be a 99 cent thing, but know we thought about you), we include you in our family and friends circle (our inner circle is unimpenetrable), we spend TIME with you (time is our largest commodity), we are intertested in your interests (most of the time we don't care about other people's interest), we go out of our way to help you (if we spend time researching something or making calls for you, value that), are we trying to improve ourselves for you (we wouldn't care otherwise), etc.
We might be slow in expressing the words, but if we say it, you better damn well believe it! Some might be faster than others (depending on moon/mars/venus) but generally we are slow and cautious with verbal expressions of feelings.

I need to get out of the habit of saying we. I can't speak for every cap and I shouldn't insinuate that I am.
Apologies to the other cappys.

Thanks, Lucciferi.
Thank you all for your responses! Good solid examples truecap 🙂
I asked this on another thread...do Caps take love for granted once the other person loves them back? For example, do they think they got it now, and put their energy into obtaining something/someone else?

I really don't think so, if a cap loves you, you will always be on their mind. You will always be fore front in their thoughts, but we would hope you understand that some obligations have to be met and it helps knowing you love us and are forgiving of times when the career has to come first. You are our life, but our career is our bread and butter, our means to an end, our means of survival for without money one can't survive.
Of course, over time, it is human nature to take it for granted, I'm sure everyone regardless of sign does to some point.
Thank you for all your great responses! My Cap has echoed these thoughts - I remember him saying that he always works on relationships to build and better them. Though I think he does this with everything (work, his status, hobbies), it's in his nature to take anything, and try to make it "better". Downside is this makes him overly critical about little things sometimes, and unable to enjoy the moment.
For example, once our Taxi driver was a bit slow in answering his question about whether or not he could take us somewhere (probably wondering if the distance was worth it, who knows), and my Cap was annoyed for the entire ride, and then dryly wished him "good luck with your future endeavors" before we left. Facepalm 🙂
Even though he says he is in love with me, I'm worried that he'll never be satisfied with me or anything else. Also makes me wonder if his love will fade when I get old and grey etc.
Please share your thoughts on this, thanks!

Your fear will ruin the relationship if you let it. So often our fear makes us do stupid, desperate things and desperation is terribly unattractive. Cap men like independent, confident women (who else is going to hold down the fort when he's off making a living?).
So do whatever you can to dismiss those fears and relax and just enjoy the relationship.

My cap girl can get mad about the smallest of things too...
But, i'd be lying if there weren't things that did that to me too.
Sigh, my Cap just told me he hates to love me so much, and the powerful effect I have on him. What is he afraid of?

Afraid of loosing control of his emotions. U mean a lot to him. However his desire to keep in control of his feelings he is struggling with. Plus agree with L he doesn't wana be hurt by u.
My Cap is definitely busy with work - two jobs right now.
He said something really surprising tonight and I'm not sure if I believe it.
I wanted to see him, but he's still working and has a 17 hour day tomorrow.
He said "I'm trying to save for a ring someday" then he quickly made a lame joke "an onion ring, haha". Then he said, "seriously though, you're part of why I'm working so much".
What does he mean..? I'm confused.

I think the most important thing here is that you dont believe it or feel it 100% . I think you should pay the most attention to your thoughts and feelings during these times. Id think a lot of the beauty is taken away from the words if you dont connect with them.
The best way to get a feel is maybe ask him why. Why does he love you, and what does he love about you?
I just think its equally important that you feel loved if he says it.

How more obvious could it be?
Thank you for all your comments.
I think it's because we are FWB, and it's hard for me to believe. We have known each other for only about 5 months.

In other news, the sun still rises in the east, and it's winter time.

Huh—
Has he said anything about being in a relationship or exclusive yet?
Omg, no wonder it's not clicking for you.

Your not his FWB he wants u more then that x hugs x

Who said I don't think I deserve to be loved? If it comes across that way, I should clarify.
I'm just curious because it's been such a short time, and I thought Caps were slow moving and cautious. He's moving very fast, and I was confused, but now you all have given me some good insight.

Actually, I personally have very high standards for love.

neither lacking confidence nor lacking brain cell is attractive to a capricorn. if you don't think you deserve to be loved, then yes you don't i agree with you
Wth? Smh
Anyway, I personally think more comfort from his words will come once he makes it official with you. I dont get how he's mentioning rings, even jokingly, before calling you his girlfriend. Thats all kind of backwards imho.
If/when its right it will feel right Id think. Wish you luck. Time will tell..
Thanks Inana04! 🙂
I agree with you, we should date first and see what's what. He wants to start dating yesterday.
This has been epic since we started 5 months ago, he and I can spend two days together with just some music on. It's pretty awesome. I feel lucky because I think it's rare, but at the same time a little bit afraid to get into a relationship this intense... Please don't judge me! 🙂
