Tell me if I am wrong.
Capricorn is wishy washy. He tries really hard to get you. Wants reassurance, and compliments. Wants to build a connection and feel like he has worth. Then when he has you hooked, it could be like the flip of a coin how he acts each day. You could be having a very deep conversation via text, and all of a sudden he disappears .. Until the next day..but doesn't continue previous conversation, leaving all those vulnerable words hanging.. Like "oh, that's enough of that"
One day, full of sweet sentiments, erotic fantasies, yearnings, plans, and emotion..
The next.. Short, one word replies..or no reply at all.
He is two different people!.. No consistancy. It's exhausting. One, I love. The other, I'm fed up with.

Not all Caps are like that... well I'm not , lol . Idk much about the Cap men , but this one sounds like a player . I've had this same experience w/ a guy . He wasn't a Cap , but definitely a player .

Nah.. He isnt a player. He was a virgin until I got ahold of him.. Maybe he is just "terrible" at relationships.. I dunno. Ugh

Oh okay . Well my first response was based off my own personal experiences . I used to talk to a guy who did things like that . One minute. It was like he wanted me to stay within his reach so he can have me whenever he chooses but he didn't want a commitment. I never slept w/ him, though . Thank God . But at the end of the day it only comes down to how you feel . I personally don't do that . As a Cap female I can be very aloof , but never wishy washy. As for the males , I know very little .

His moon & venus are both Sagittarius.
He's extremely into me, and I believe he is sincere. I think it's just him..the way he is. I'm so very different. It's hard to relate with the way I love and the way he does.. Im trying. but, When we are together our chemistry is amazing.
It's the in between, keeping in touch part that is confusing and makes me wanna pull my hair out. im pisces sun. Cancer moon. Aquarius venus

Maybe it just won't work. I AM hard to get, but once you've got me.. I don't want to play games. I guess we'll wait and see.

I would just approach it in a fun teasing way. Like when he drops off out of nowhere. Wait a hour and say "Yo?!? Where'd you go? I was fixing to tell you something really, really hot (or important) but dude, you just disappeared". Then when he comes back with "what?" Say "Nope. You missed out. lol!" (Make sure the lol is on there).

Or the next time he contacts you just say "Hmmm. I'm debating on whether or not to respond since you just disappeared out into la-la land yesterday."

Just tease him about it. It's light hearted, but gets your point across.

Whatever his explanation, give him a break, but pay attention. If he does it a lot, it's disrespectful.

You know, all of the behavioral patterns you have described, you could attribute to Pisces. The 2 fishes swimming in the opposite direction. Consistent one minute, inconsistent the next 🙂
Frustrating to be on the receiving end, isn't it 🙂

Seriously though, people keep thinking that Caps are all these very stable, no-nonsense, serious people. Well, they are all that....when it comes to work & accomplishments. But most people forget that the Cap is not fully an Earth sign like Taurus & Virgo. Unlike these other 2 signs, Capricorns are half-Earth, half-Water (ie, the Mer-Goat). For this reason, their feelings & emotions are pulled at from both directions ( land vs water). One minute they're into you, the next minute they ignore you (but not always because they're mean but because they usually have like, 20 different things that need their immediate attention)

This push-pull of earth vs water emotions really plays havoc on their love lives. So that's something you need to be aware. Often they behave the way you described not because they want to but because of this conflict in earth vs water emotions ( logic vs emotions)

The above is the "con" part of their behavior. The "pro" part is that, more than the other 2 earth signs (Virgo & Taurus), Capricorns can get along with water signs better. Most of my water friends tell me they feel this, unexplainable, mysterious "pull" towards Capricorns and usually can't figure out why. It's because Caps are also half-water. Most water & earth signs get along quite well but the Cap seems to have a more mysterious way of connecting with water signs. The problem is that, Caps usually hide the "water" part of themselves so well, it's a Herculean effort to get them to reveal it.

I've been around Capricorn guy friends

I've been around Capricorn guy friends quite often & I can tell you it's usually a treat when they do get in touch with the emotional side of them and you're lucky enough to be around when that happens. It's strange; they have this unique way of seeing the beauty of things (eg a sunset or a waterfall) and describe them to you in a practical yet emotional way. ie, Earth + Water. It's different from an Aquarius. An Aquarius will probably describe a sunset in a very thought-provoking manner & leave you to ponder upon their words. A Capricorn will describe the sunset in a beautiful (emotional) yet simple (practical) way .

When I read your description, honestly I thought this could apply to any man who does the about-face on the relationship. And there can be many reasons for a man to do the switch-a-roo but at the end of the day, it means you didn't gel as a couple. Sometimes, you're not really gelling like you think you are b/c the man isn't putting his cards on the table until he's sure. And many will blow you off in lieu of breaking up with you formally. Capricorn men aren't wishy washy. Earth signs aren't wishy washy. Water signs can appear wishy washy b/c of the ebb & flow of emotions running through our electrical currents. This isn't a zodiac issue. It's a relationship issue. And we all get disappointed.

I have to say I don't agree. I have dated and worked with Cap men. I started to purposely observe

them in social situations, and they are aloof. The one I dated was def aloof, more so than other guys

I had ever been with. If you compare their "general personality" aside from the typical male games

you mention above, there is a standoffish way about them.
