Here’s what you can expect when dating a Capricorn

Interested in an earthy, sensual Capricorn? You’ve certainly chosen well. This sign is well-known for their faithfulness, love of commitment and dedication to their relationship. In fact, seldom do you find single Capricorns – they’re so quickly snapped up!

Yet, there are a few Capricorns who are also so immersed in their careers and work tam they barely stop to look up and see the love is right under their nose. It takes a little seduction, on your part, as well as plenty of patience! Most Capricorns are fairly traditional, and they like to woo and be wooed. Rushing into a connection for them is generally not their usual way of behaving. However, if they’ve been recently hurt, then you may see a Capricorn or two playing the field.

However, once they find someone who they deem as worthy – someone elegant, well put together, interesting and mature – they’ll put the work in. Whilst they won’t exactly sweep you off your feet, their persistence to win you over will eventually melt your heart.

If you are the one dating them, be sure to not push too hard. Let them lead and make decisions where possible. After all, this is a Cardinal sign, and Cardinal signs prefer to have the initiative.

What else can you expect when you date a Capricorn? Let’s find out.

Dating a Capricorn

The truth is that most Capricorns don’t always enjoy the dating game. Being such real, authentic and down to earth signs, they tend to prefer an established, structured relationship. Yet, they’ll play along, knowing that this first stage is a necessary step to the next. Everything that Capricorn does, they tend to do well, so even dating may become something that they want to excel at. They’ll pick out the very best restaurants, the nicest clubs and the classiest settings. This is one sign that won’t hesitate to spend some money on a good-quality outing with you.

If they’re the one wining and dining you, let them pay. If you’re the one taking them out, treat them. Splitting the bill may come across as coarse for the typical Capricorn. If you can incorporate nature into your dates, that would be a winner. Capricorn is an earth sign, so loves to get outside into nature. Hiking or even going for a lovely nature walk will open up the opportunity for a deeper connection.

Communicating With a Capricorn

Most earth signs are physical types, preferring to talk with gestures and their bodies rather than words. However, when you get a Capricorn going, you’ll find that they possess a unique depth of wisdom that you could listen to forever. Sure, they may take on somewhat of a lecturing tone, but because they know so much, you may be quite happy to simply sit back and listen. Your typical Capricorn also possesses quite a dark, surprising sense of humor, much to your surprise. They can be cynical, sharp and very quick witted.

But what should you expect when you’ve just stated dating them? Will they text back quickly, will they call and how best do they communicate? Well, because most Capricorns are workaholics, don’t expect a fast reply. They’re usually knee-deep in work (not someone else, so don’t worry!). Their texts may not be very flowery or romantic – they tend to veer on the practical side of things. Yet, in person, they’re much more available, just as long as they keep their work phones off!

How A Capricorn Shows Their Love

Most Capricorns are fairly traditional, as well as materially orientated. This means that ‘gift giving’ is usually their preferred way of showing their love and care for you. The good news is that seldom will these signs waste money on a cheap or poor-quality item. They’ll go out of their way to get you something practical, long-lasting and expensive. The pricier, the more they care, believe it or not. For this zodiac sign, no price is too high to pay for the person that they adore. Not to mention that they work so hard for their money that they usually have enough to go around.

Their other “Love Language” would have to be physical affection. All earth signs love to touch and be touched. Although the Capricorn isn’t a public displays of affection sort of person, in private and behind closed doors, they’ll be all over you.

What Turns a Capricorn Off

Capricorns like a classy partner. Someone who can hold themselves together, is elegant and tasteful. Yes, you can have your messy moments – emotionally and otherwise – but not in public, or in front of their family or colleagues, for example. They want to be proud of their mates, not embarrassed. Someone who is loud, crude and coarse will be swiftly kicked out of their orbit.

Capricorns also generally prefer someone who’s very ambitious, like them. Now, you don’t necessarily have to have a career, but you need to have aspirations. Something that drives you to get out of bed in the morning. Even if that’s a personal passion or hobby, your Capricorn will respect you more if you have something you’re…
