A Capricorn might not be into PDA, but he's affectionate in the bedroom. Just because your guy shies away from holding hands in public or kissing in front of others doesn't mean he's not attached to you. He'd rather have a sensual evening just the two of you where he can express exactly how much he loves you.
- Your guy will probably spend a lot of time on foreplay—Capricorns are slow to warm up! To help him get in the mood, send him flirty texts throughout the day or jump in the shower together before you hit the bedroom.
