I personally think that Capricorns tend to lose interest easily and quickly. Is that true if so what makes you loose interest in someone and what keeps you interested ??
also if you loose interest does that mean you will end the relationship ?

I do lose interest easily. To keep my interest, you need to be friggin fantastic and I don't let anyone in that isn't.

On the same note, I do not enter a realtionship if I'm not pretty sure he can keep my interest up for a very long time(years and years.) In fact, I have never ended a realtionship because I wasn't interested in the person as such. I have kept in contact with almost all my exes, so it has never been that.

I observe people to see if they fit into my world. If I decide their character traits don't jive with mine, I lose interest.

I wouldn't say that it's quick in losing interest, its just that when I decide it's not going to work, it's quick when I decide to cut ties.

And how to tell if you have lost interest

I won't be the one planning things (otherwise, I look for new and interesting things for us to do).
I won't respond to calls/texts as often.
I will avoid spending time with you.
I will be vague when you try to make plans with me.

Just buy them a house and let them have the last word.

Agreed. You need to be pretty awesome to keep a Cap interested. They do not "buy" flimsy excuses of any sort. I think if you're harder on yourself than they are on you (that's me), then you can get a bit of respect.

Even then, they expect A LOT, don't count on slacking with a Cap...at least not until the work is done and done well.

Cappyfemale: Concrete results, all else is bullbutter imo.

Some other ways to gain their respect is to do a lot of work, and do it well and efficiently. If you can figure out a way to do the work faster and better, you're golden!

I work with a Cappy Moon, Virgo Sun female. We both have high standards but totally different ways to get results. She is a micromanager, and complains a lot which breeds a culture of negativity. She also made our employee cry once because she was very harsh on her.

However, she can get things done and she is a self starter which I love. Caps slack sometimes so keep this in mind. They know this better than anyone. Sometimes I think they cover it up with being critical of others 🙂

I am not a micromanager at all but still gets things done. They say I'm too nice sometimes, but I feel like I'm respected without having to be a cookiemonster. I also like to keep a positive atmosphere as much as possible, so I don't really complain much.

On the other side, I need to learn from her how to be a little more critical and take initiative. I have a lot of Libra so I like to make sure everyone is on board before I go ahead...NOT a Cappy thing at all. They are leaders and do not wait to talk it out with you. They will just go. You either can keep up or get out of their way!

Sorry to say, there is no perfect recipe. Don't try to be someone that I like - just be you. If that doesn't work, it was just not meant to be, noone's fault. Integrity is very high on the list. I don't need a guy to be hugely successful or rich; I need a guy who is responsible, can hold his own and tries his very best. Genuine and honest people with self respect impress me. Intelligence, a sense of humor, passion(about a lot of things - that way I will never get bored. 🙂) and kindness are also necessary traits.

I do expect a lot from my partner, but I also expect a lot from myself - I am my worst critic and I am prepared to work very hard if need be.

Oh dear! How could I possibly have forgotten: attractive! What is attractive to me differ hugely, it's mainly just a feeling for me. They don't have to be good looking in a plastic sense, but I need to be reallly attracted to them. I have never been in a relationship with a guy who weren't really good at sports, though - especially sports like soccer or tennis or badminton or...and almost all have been musical - that's also hot.

Damn, I'm demanding! *blushing while shaking my head*

Idk. I do lose interest quickly, even when developing friendships, but someone being themselves and having confidence will keep me interested.

As soon as a person attention is focused all on me, I kind of check out. I prefer to 'see' people in their element living life, or experience it with them. For example, my perfect date would kind of be non traditional, and moreso me following his lead...kind of almost in a tagging along type of way, then him listening to my suggestions on where to go if I have any, and us just enjoying eachothers company.. A guy that comes to mind after I typed this was actually this Pisces guy lol. He brought me somewhere one day, and most guys get sooo intimidated, which makes me nervous, but his calmness and inner confidence put me at ease.

Putting me on any type of pedastal, asking me too many questions, trying to impress me, acting as if you want to do whatever I want, letting insecurity seep through, appearing intimidated, etc etc, are turn offs and Ill lose interest. I like confidence and would like to be lead sometimes, Ill also like to lead sometimes, so again a confident guy, but for me...you just got to be yourself.

If the two of you dont gel, then don't force it. Trying to work around her will not work.

I hardly find myself interested! LOL
I donno but for me if we don't click, it doesn't work .. though I had relationships before where there was no click but I played the saint and was trying to be loyal and responsible .. I don't even know how I made sense to myself to stay in toxic relationships .

I do get bored easily and require my space .. a lot! If anyone take me from myself and my space, it doesn't work at all. I will end up pushed to leave.

Lol@dontgetmewrong. The both of you sound too cute!

A person being themselves put me at ease too, so I can definitely relate to that. Im not turning down the cutest guy though lol.

Aww, you sound like such a good mom dontgetmewrong! That was a nice read and its good that you let her know she can communicate that to you now. We dont always like to say it, but we do need a good amount of attention from our parents, although we are independent. I think I required much more attention than my Virgo sis growing up. Im sure she feels extremely special.

what are the character traits you give preference to ?

click to expand

Do they do what they say they're going to do?
Are they consistent?
How do they treat strangers/their family/animals/children?
Do they have the same values as I do?
Do they have the same morals as I do?
How do they manage their money?
Etc.

It's probably different for each capricorn, but their character traits have to align with mine.
