So I've been seeing this Cap guy for about 2 months now. We haven't been exclusive yet. I know Cappies can be slow to commit so I'm being very patient with him. I'm a Pisces, and I have been trying to hold back on a lot of things, like emotions. I met him online, and about 3 weeks after talking (we already slept together by then, after the 5th date), I told him I took down my profile and just wanted to get to know him only. He said he likes me but it definitely takes him time to commit to someone, and only when he sees that it is getting very serious will he commit to anybody. He also said that he's not talking to anybody else, and that he's not looking to either.
So he's still active on that website (which didn't bother me at first as it was still very soon, but now that it has been 2 months it starts to bother me). SHould I say anything about this? (I have a friend also on that website and she told me she saw him online just the other day, although not for long)
Another thing is, yesterday when I was texting him, somehow the conversation led to me mentioning a guy that has been crushing on me. I have no interest in this guy. ANyhow my cap guy asked me a series of questions about this guy, do I hang out with him, do I talk to him? Blah blah. I reassured him that he is the only one I'm talking to, although we're not exclusive yet. He said he wanted to know what the deal was with that guy, and that it pissed him off. Can someone explain what this behavior means? He's not my bf yet he's acting like we're in a committed relationship. He's generally pretty cold, as in he does not show his emotions easily. What does this mean?
Thank you!

Two months is WAY to soon to be worrying about this. It takes about 6 months to get serious about someone. I met my aqua on line and it was at the 6 month stage when we took down our profiles. We became exclusive at about 5 months.
Just date and keep getting to know him. DO NOT shower him with emotions. It's too soon. He will run like the wind and leave you in a cloud of dust. It's scary for someone to think they love you, etc when they don't even really know you. He hasn't dropped all his walls yet. Slow down and enjoy the getting to know you stage. Don't expect too much too soon. Don't ask for labels too soon.

Oh sweet evergreen...
If you're not exclusive stop acting like you are exclusive with him.
Don't trap yourself into a non-relationship where you're the only one being exclusive. Not only will you get your feelings hurt you'll be emotionally, physically, mentally maybe even spiritually trapped in a non existent relationship and kicking yourself for it.
Don't ever bring up another man be it casually or seriously because when you do that it reeks of desperation.
Use a bit of emotional intelligence when it comes to situations like this. He's not ready to be exclusive and you are. Don't ever pretend to be patient. Don't ever pretend to be okay with being his side piece if you're goal is exclusivity because you'll begin behave in a desperate needy way even when you're trying not to.. If exclusivity is what you want then it's okay to tell a man what you want and then you can ask him what he wants and if it doesn't line up you can politely back off and continue to date him as you're continuing on your journey to meet and date other men or bow out completely.
You know he does not want exclusivity with you so now what are you going to do? How long are you prepared to wait?
If exclusivity is important to you then make sure you tell him that from the start and you might want to hold off on having sex with a man until you know what he has in store for you as in what's his end goal in dating you.

Sometimes I find myself sharing details (that I find interesting) with my Cap that include other men. For example, work dilemmas - an older mentor type asked me to supervise a trip with him to NY. It would be free for me, though not paid work, and would look great on my resume. Cap hated* hearing about it, and let me know. Was I trying to make him jealous? NO. Did it? YES!
After this experience, I realized how jealous and possessive he can be. In the future, will need to be more careful talking about any guys. Probably will just save these conversations for my Mom or a trusted gf 🙂
Yeah, agree with truecap, don't play games with a Cap. Be honest and up front about what you are looking for, and stick to it. That's what they do 🙂

Thank you. That makes me rethink about my whole strategy to capture this Cap. I need to be more patient for sure. I def haven't been emotional at all around him, I let him take the lead, and let him move at his own pace.click to expand

Capricorn men are smart,like really smart as in "They will f*** your brains out smart". Don't try to play games with these men because you won't even know what hit you. You will even have doubts if it was an act of love or he was just punished you!!They are the godfathers of rules,responsibility and restrictions,he can play whatever game you play ten times better than you,just don't!! Two months is not enough yet,you have his attention though so don't ruin it!Don't try to test his limits by seeing where you guys are,when he will be ready and sure he'll let you know,on his own time. You have to understand this man...and in order to do that you really have to like him...patience is the key here,remember this every time you think you are losing yourself,stability and patience. Without those two you are pretty much screwed. These men are not for just anybody,give him time and you also. No strategy will work,he has everything already planned out,he has a tunnel vision...meaning he sees right through you!!Just be kind,decent,nice,funny and do your own thing,he will get there if is you that he wants trust me on this,he's the type of man that always gets what he wants. Good luck and leave silly games aside,you will hurt yourself in the process.

Just a little note about on-line dating sites....I don't know if they all do this but match.com does...They send e-mails. If you open an email, it shows you were "active" on the site. So, just because they said you are active, doesn't mean you were actively searching and talking to other people. Opening that email was active with the site.
They do this so it looks like more people are actively using the site than there really is.

SO update on this guy. My friend said he messaged her online. Haha. I'm done with him.

@I'm def not acting like I'm exclusive with him.
Believe it or not you are. You're here talking about a man that has clearly told you he does not want exclusivity. Instead of you going on to the next adventure with a new man you're here talking about what he said. That's typically how women want/need to be exclusive behave.
He's still active online because he's still open to dating other women. If it bothers you then yes you have an exclusive vibe.
Some Pisces women just don't get it. They play games like oops I don't act exclusive but grrr it bothers me that he's still active on his profile, ooops I slipped and mentioned this guy blah blah which is way too slippery for Cap males to deal with.
Cap males see right through the BS and will just passively but politely dump a woman on her ass without saying a word, it'll take months before a woman realizes he's kind of gone even when he's still around.
He's got the sex, you've been captured, nothing left to do but wait and wait and wait. Can you wait?

Okay, I have a question that has nothing to do with this case. Sorry about that.
On this forum, we naturally come from different cultural and discursive backgrounds and my question is about that. What does "talking to other people" really mean as you write it, Truecap? I understand that must be something deeper than just actual talking, but what does it really mean. It's mentioned so much in american tv-shows, but I haven't been able to quite get that expression. Sorry again for using this thread for my question.

To me talking with other people means texting, flirting, entertaining, but it doesn't mean sleeping with them. It keeps your perspective while you're in the pre-exclusive dating scenario. It means not putting all your eggs in one basket, keeping options open. But, you don't sleep with them.click to expand
