How To Get Your Goat: Interactive DIY [Fun] (Page 2)

Also -- we've managed to make a few inside jokes -- and he'll text me if something happens along the lines of them.

I was confused, too. Seems like game behavior? Which we don't like. I agree with Capgirl.

You had me until this part. Why did you delete his number? And then why don't you reply back? I don't understand.
He's still texting you, that's a good sign, I think. He hasn't dropped away.
It's only been a week since you saw him, maybe he's just been busy.

There isn't any game behavior on my end. I deleted his number so I wouldn't bombard him, which we both did collectively. It seems after we met up something chAnged when I asked him to hang out again the very next day. That was only because he said he wanted to go out again, though. Now that I deleted his number, he texts more often, but not as much as before. Maybe I was too excited. And he got freaked. That usually happens.

Take a deep breath!! Relax.

I wonder if that's a Cardinal sign thing. To come on strong, make a big first or initial impression, then kind of fizzle a bit.

I know that Aries are known for loving the chase, but I think that can apply to Caps as well at times. Not sure about Libra's and Cancers though, but Cardinals are initiators, not necessarily the best at completion imho(at-least not in a certain amount of time), so maybe that can play a part in Caps coming on strong.

Aries are too bossy and pushy for me. As long as I'm agreeing with them, everything is hunky-dorey. They don't like it when you disagree with them or have an opposing opinion. When they want to call the shots and tell me what to do and how to think, I'm all "don't tell me what to do/think" because I'll do the exact opposite just to prove a point. I can be pretty stubborn and am determined to have my own ideas about things. Not saying I won't understand someone else's point of view, but don't make me feel like I have to agree with yours.

I just don't think a Cap/Aries relationship will work in the long term. Friends, yes, in short doses. Don't get me wrong, Aries are great people and I admire their drive, energy and resourcefulness. They'll always have your back. Just not for me as in a relationship.

And, in answer to the above question. We do come on strong in the beginning. Sometimes, we step back to see your reaction and to see if you will persue us. If you don't, then I feel as if you didn't like me enough.

Sometimes, we have re-evaluated the potential or whether your actions will follow up with what you say. If not, we will fade. If your actions don't back up your words, its not worth a discussion, because I would feel like you misrepresented yourself. I would justify that you didn't have respect for me, I wouldn't give respect back.

Not proud of the fade, but if there's not a lot invested, and I feel its justified in my mind, then its sometimes just easier. Not the best MO, but I have been guilty of it. If I feel you are worthy of the discussion, then I will have that discussion. Sounds cold, I know, but just sayin.

I think Leo/Cap work if both are willing to put out a lot of effort to give each other what you need.

My best guy friend is a Leo. We didn't do well romantically (tried twice years ago), but we have become very, very good friends. He is one of the few I feel safe and comfortable sharing thoughts with. Perhaps because we have known each other for so long and have a very similar background and correlating experiences. He's charismatic and fun - the life of the party. However, I did not feel secure in a romantic relationship with him - he's such a flirt and has tons of female friends. I was never comfortable with that (jealousies and insecurities on my end killed it).

@mojojojo: Whuaaa? You can't claim all that as Cap-specific. 90% of those points, if not all, are applicable to everyone.

I'll give you one though: Caps are more narcissitic than most people. Just by claiming all those points you listed is proof of this. 😉 Hahaha! I'm surprise you don't have the trait on there.

Well how about this:

nar??cis??sism (n?_rs-szm) or nar??cism (n?_rszm)
n.
1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself.
2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
4. The attribute of the human psyche characterized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits.

So considering that narcissism is a human condition which affects everyone uniquely, I'll say your point is wholly moot. 🙂

Caps are not necessarily more narcissistic. Rather, Caps are just highly sensitive to the ceaseless influx of stimulation that accompanies the state of awareness. Caps observe and gather information, spend [precious] time processing and then take appropriate action toward whatever goal is on the agenda.

But that's in the purest sense of Capricorn. Most people are a general mix of zodiac traits. So there goes the flavor. 😉
