As you've already read I've met a Scorp and I really like him. But being shy as a Capricorn when we're alone, and him being distant it makes it difficult to start a conversation or talk about something I want to talk about. Usually we talk about our work or about sex (what's new?!) but I'll have my first real date soon. You Scorps are quite dominant also so it's not easy to change the subject. Do you have any ideas on how to make him feel easier and relaxed, and me being less intimidated by his aloofness?
I want to discuss what kind of relationship he wants and how I feel about it but I don't know how to make him listen, without making him feel offended. It's a sensitive subject because he's been awfully hurt in the past, and I want to show him he CAN trust me! I don't want to make him jealous so I'm keeping another man who likes me at a distance...does he realise it?
Please give me some ways of making him feel more relaxed....Thanks!
Sounds like he's not the only one that needs some relaxing... I think it would do you some good not worry so much about what his reaction might be. Just tell the truth. The ABSOLUTE truth about how you feel right now. I've also been in a similar situation with a scorp (and I'm a cap-girl) and I've come to find that the best way to his heart was always through honesty and sincerity. Be direct, forward, and very very sincere with your words. He'll respect you for this, trust me. Gently tug him, pull him aside, do what you gotta do, if you're intimidated, he'll probably pick up on it so make sure you are firm and not so scared of what the results might be, be them negative or postive. But if he's a good scorp, and a true friend, or maybe even has some hidden feelings for you, I'm sure the results will be very, VERY positive.
Thanl you for your reply....I'm really happy to hear this from another Cappie!
And you're right, I should relax....sometimes it goes naturally and sometimes I don't know what to say. I should be my own self and not worry too much.
And yes, being very honest and direct works wonders I think. So far I've always been honest with him, I even told him I really liked him and found him very sweet. Of course he didn't believe me at first but now he's opening up to me. On the other hand Scorps are hurt easily and I don't want to bring up any hurt from the past unnecessarily! It's a delicate balance I think....
And we'll see about the hidden feelings, so far he's been very sweet and open to me. Even when he was defensive I could see the honesty and insecurity in his eyes. Those eyes DO give you away dear Scorps! But afterwards he was always glad I was interested in what he had to say, even when he he reacted defensively in the first place. We'll see....😉
Hi Seagoat, Looks like you are in love with this guy! 🙂 I have read a couple of your posts on bth the scorp and the cap borads. I am a cappie girl myself. Srangley i feel like your reactions are soo similar to my reactions when i am as enamoured by THE man in my life.
all the same ....shy ...wanting to not hurt the other persons feelings......being toungetied during inital dates....always telling myself to be opena nd direct and not scared (and mostof the times not being able to do that - but thats just me!). And i also notice that if i tell someone - friends or anyone that i know about all these symptoms - they all tell me the same thing - you need to relax and take a breather and stop being scared! 🙂
Anyways.....it all sounded too familiar so i had to let you know!
Hoping that this scorp guy is your knight in shinning armour! :-) Isnt that an exhiliarating thought?!
Ah, always nice to hear something positive! This Board is filled with angry or confused people, I only hear bad stories!
I'm not sure if I'm in love yet, last time I saw him (9 days ago) I felt some butterlies in my stomach. But I'm still keeping my heart safely with me, until I know for sure if I can trust him. You know us Cappies....😉
I know I have to relax, it all has to do with trust. Once I know I can trust him I can be my bright enthousiastic loving self. No better, I have to trust MYSELF and just let the love flow, break the ice as fast as possible. So far I haven't seen him outside work yet so I'm in "the waiting game". I just need to have patience....Cappies and Scorps need some time to get to know eachother, I know.
Thanks for the support my dear!! I really appreciate it!
It's not an easy task to stop being scared of a powerful Scorp....especially when you're a shy Cappie and feel very much for someone! Although I can hardly call myself shy nowadays....😉
The more scared you are the worse it gets, I just have to be brave and laugh!
I know exactly what you mean about us being shy and all that! and about scorps being the powerfull ones.
You want to see the issue through a kalediscope BUT associating with a scorp is like starring straight into a mirror and there is not other way to look at it! Dont know if that means anything to you guys but thats just my perception of being witha scorp.
Scorps are endearing people though - frank and tough, with no frilly formalities.

Neither Scorpio nor Capricorn finds it easy to communicate, but because their association is influenced by the 3-11 Sun Sign Pattern, they'll usually be more conversationally at ease when they are together than when they are with most other people they know. Scorpio and Capricorn will spend most of their time together discussing their individual and mutual hopes, dreams and wishes, and although they'll be in general agreement regarding the nature of their goals in life, they may not be in complete agreement as to the ideal methods of achieving them. They both secretly desire to be respected, they both aspire to a quiet kind of power behind the scenes over their sphere in life, whether it be a home, a classroom, a business or a government yet the Goat may deplore Scorpio's inner intensity, believing it to be a waste of vital energy, while Scorpio may think the Goat lacks sentiment and sensitivity. Still, they're both practical-minded enough to consider their divergent methods of achievement of far less importance than success or failure in the final analysis, and once they decide to trust each other, they can intermingle their abilities to increase their chances of the former. Fortunately, the Goat will receive the retaliatory sting of the Scorpion somewhat less frequently than others, and will find those few stings easier to shrug off while Scorpio is likely to understand and be patient with Capricorn's Saturnine broodings, for Scorpio is also susceptible to spells of inexplicable depression.
Although the Scorpion and the Goat are both very private people, the typical Scorpio is apt to do considerably more talking in public than Capricorn. But the Scorpion uses words as a facade; verbosity being utilized as a kind of substitute for saying what he or she is actually thinking. Scorpios are fond of all manner of disguises, and talking about everything except what's really important to them is merely one of the many masks Pluto wears to fool the uninitiated. Capricorn recognizes and admires this ability, even envies it, for the Goat is essentially shy. Beneath the surface social nonchalance, Scorpio is also shy, or rather, markedly reserved regarding private feelings and emotions. And so, the Goat's sometimes painful timidity touches Scorpio deeply, and is not frequently the initial basis for sympathy between them. Capricorns are not cursed with the torture of a burning curiosity compared to Scorpio. Most of the time, Capricorn's boredom with curiosity in all its forms will please the Pluto-ruled Scorpions, since nothing makes them angrier than to catch someone snooping in their diaries, checkbooks, sock drawers or private thoughts ? until and unless they choose to share their secrets. But now and then, the ultra-sensitive Scorpio man or woman will take offense at Capricorn's refusal to be curious, and interpret it as a lack of interest ?which is exactly what it is. The Goat's lack of interest, however, is not synonymous with a lack of caring. Suspicion can cause Scorpio to suffer many groundless fears. Capricorns, on the other hand, have no need to trouble themselves with undue suspicion, because the Saturnine caution accomplishes the same self-protective purpose with much less wear and tear on the nervous system. For all their uneasy suspicions, Scorpios are metaphysically and religiously driven; therefore they believe intensely in the power of faith over all manner of failure (even when they don't openly admit such faith), and this is a major difference between the Pluto-ruled Scorpios and the Saturn-restricted Capricorns.

Two weeks ago I was approached by a Scorpio guy, until that moment I had only considered him as a nice co-worker that made me laugh. But when I told him I was in the beginning of a divorce, my decision BTW, he told me he was ver
during spliting up with my ex i met a scorpion who became my pillar - unbelieveably (with me being a capricorn) i found i could tell him anything and toldly opened up - during these talks things started getting intense until we both realised that although
