I've been seeing this Cap since July 2011. We had a few casual dates a month, no kissing or sex until late December. Yes, caps are very slow! We were talking a lot, all day long through texting(mostly about sex)and then out of sudden everything changed without any reason. It's like I wake the next day and things are different. I know he is very busy, he was busy before too but did find time to respond back, and now I don't hear from him for days. When we ocasionally meet things go great.
So please help!!! I know that capricorns are tricky to understand. I don't know if he lost interest in me or maybe got interested in someone else—

What are you talking about? Well if he is not all that into me why he just doesn't say anything and still sees me?

its funny how Caps choose the strangest times to start taking it slow. They test. They look for reactions. Sometimes they go for days without contacting. Yep, that's them alright.

But what is that suppose to mean? Do you think he really likes me or just playing games?

I have never dated a guy who would act this way, definitely very different from others and when I read about caps, I was shocked, every word was true, he is a typical cap!

Besides, slow... Wasn't it slow enough, we went out to lunch dates for 5 months before even kissed?! LOL

I just want to know I'm not wasting my time...

🙂 And what would be the best reaction and actions for me in this case—?

OMG I can believe he got me so hooked, I'm totally crazy about him!

Thank you for support !!! It is so hard though, it seems like right when we women get excited about a guy they decide to pull away, so frustrating. I'm trying my best, actually didn't text him since his last response, waiting for his next move LOL.

I wish I could get inside of his head... or better his heart 🙂

Really, when I read these stories, the only thing I can think about is them being thrilled a bit by the chase. Like you're almost screwed if you give in, emotionally.

If that intimacy with him meant absolutely much of nothing to you then he'd be perplexed and still contacting as normal, or probably more.

You have to play these suckers a bit. I think ladies fall because of the "gentleman" type behavior and them not rushing, but all most guys want at the end of the day is sex, whether they wait a day, few weeks, or a year for it. And with Caps being so out of touch, emotionally, most all they want is FWB. It takes them toooo long to develop real feelings, and if they held out, sexually, for as long as it took to develop feelings, they'd never have sex.

I think for a woman to date one successfully, she has to detach from sex and intimacy afterwards as quick as he does. Act like nothing ever happened, just how he does, and keep the emotions and whats expected after the act at bay. Sometimes we fall for people out of becoming familiar and getting comfortable with them. When you are expecting certain things, and emotions are really getting involved, it takes us out of our comfort zones, and we pull back to pace it or as a hint for you to slow down, or sometimes as a hint that I'm not really what you want/need.

Elusive, it depends on how its presented. If it is presented logically, maturely, rationally and intellectually, we will listen and consider. Doesn't mean we will let you know we have, but we will usually try to change our behaviour.

However, if we feel attacked and it is presented accusingly or with too much drama, we will probably tune out, shield up and you will most likely not get the response you want.

I say we, but I can only speak for myself.
