Posted by pinkbird03Thanks for the reply.
Sounds like he wants you to plan it. But are u sure he even wants to go on a picnic?
Posted by RindarooThanks for the feedback.
Maybe you should think about what he really would love to do. It sounds like he thinks it was what you wanted & he wasn't all that interested in it. I mean if you're making up for something, you should think in terms of what he likes.
Yes, they are moody & negative at times. Not all the time. I went with my ex-bf (Cap when he was still my bf) to Mexico for a week & we had a fabulous time. Speaking to your on a beautiful beach comment.

I so agree with this...the picnic suggestion was two years ago in a different phase of your relationship I'm assuming..relationships evolve. Think of what spins his wheels!! ?

Posted by SunMoonStarsYep. Some of the most pessimistic people I know-Men and women. Which is ironic because in a group setting they're the life of the party and full of energy, but alone time with them is pretty different. When my cap ex began to open up more, it became a bit draining. And no matter how much I've tried to reassure positivity within a situation or outcome he resorts to a "meh" mentality. That is one example of many caps I know. Sometimes I wonder if it's a tactic to have their ego stroked.
Is being with a Cap guy akin to seeing the negative in almost everything? Like if we were on a beautiful beach somewhere with 5 star service (insert your dream vacation), there will still* be something wrong.

Posted by SunMoonStarsHaha those were the exact things my ex would complain about. I've actually seen him complain to the waiter because they put tomatoes in his burger and ask the waiter to bring him a new burger. To be fair, he did say no tomatoes. I didn't understand why he didn't just pick them off, which is the normal alternative. I am careful around people who handle my food.Posted by VirgoreanI wonder that too sometimes.Posted by SunMoonStarsYep. Some of the most pessimistic people I know-Men and women.

It's like everything becomes about him, his moods, his likes/dislikes, etc. It seems so petty to me some of the things he complains about. A trip to the grocery store can be filled with negativity from how long the line is, how long someone takes to pick their item (blocking him from picking), stuff like that.
I end up being the positive one and tip toeing, not wanting to talk about my own problems or set him off. It's exhausting.

I'm not sure if its a thing with details or not, but maybe that's why things seem so petty. The tiniest thing can irritate us, and I mean tiny.

Posted by lnana04Thanks for your honesty.
Y'all are describing very self centered Caps, which most are BTW.
Caps are complainers. Between my Cap friend and I our whole conversation everyday is us complaining about work.

IF you are going to deal with Caps like this, the best thing to do is be yourself, and ignore the Caps energy and complaints. Its not your job to try to cheer us up, or even listen lol. Don't try to be positive, just be positive if that's you. Eventually it will rub off. Caps ARE draining. Well, my female friend more so than my male friend. I honestly don't know how people deal.

Posted by MoonshineLeoOn point. I see so many topics of women asking about caps and how to gain their interest, when really it's quite simple.Posted by VirgoreanIt is, they want you to kiss assPosted by SunMoonStarsYep.

My Cap and I have been doing better lately, but his personality just makes it so hard for me to fall in love with him.
Example ---
We had plans to hang out this long weekend (4 days). He forgot that one of his best friends is having an anniversary party, so he might be busy for 2 of those days. He still hasn't confirmed what's happening there, so I'm kind of left hanging.
On my end, one of my employees cancelled last minute, so I need to cover for 5 hours on one of the days. I told my Cap right away, and offered to make it up by letting him pick any destination for a picnic next weekend ( I will drive and bring the picnic too). He just has to choose the place he wants to go, as he often says he hasn't been here or there. We had talked about a picnic last weekend, so I figured it's an appropriate idea.
Any problems there? Can you think of anything wrong with my offer?
His response?
He said - I'm the one who wants to go for a picnic with "no decision making" so how is that making it up to him? Bad sell. -
Is he for real? I'm so turned off by that response. It shows me he is almost impossible to be happy with.
