Text him a compliment.

Capricorn men like to be praised for their many strengths. Text him all the reasons you like him, and be specific. Your messages will mean more if they point out what makes him so special (like his cute laugh or his music taste). He'll appreciate your kind words, and he'll end up missing your encouragement when you're gone.^{[1]

2

Plan thoughtful dates that relate to his interests.

He'll appreciate that you made an effort for him. Capricorns often enjoy dates that have been planned and thought-out, rather than casual hangouts. Opt for dates that feel a little more formal and pick date spots that relate to his hobbies and interests to show that you've been paying attention to him. He'll end up leaving your dates looking forward to what you'll plan next.^{[2]

- Go for locations like art galleries, museums, or coffee shops that are connected to his passions somehow. If he's into history, for example, take him to a history museum in your area.

5

Be ambitious and go for your goals.

Download Article

Capricorn men want someone just as ambitious as they are. Strive to meet your professional and educational goals, and throw yourself into your passions, too. Talk openly about what you've been doing when you go out with your Capricorn guy, and ask about what he's been up to as well. He'll think about all the cool things you're doing when you're away and will want to keep learning more about you.^{[5]

8

Practice patience and take things slow.

A Capricorn man often takes his time to let his guard down. If you've been spending time together and he hasn't made it clear that he misses you, don't fret.

9

Give him space.

He's a busy guy, and he might need some alone time to decompress. Respect his schedule and try to keep your calm if he needs some space to himself sometimes. Stay focused on your own life and passions instead of waiting by the phone. You'll feel better about yourself, and your Capricorn man will appreciate the fact that you understand his need for space.^{[11]

Be honest and straightforward.

Remain confident in yourself.

As self-assured people themselves, Capricorns are attracted to confidence. When you're out with your Capricorn man, walk with your head held high and remember all of your strengths. Talk openly about your talents and resist the urge to put yourself down or make yourself small on dates. He'll miss being around someone so bold and sure of themselves.
- Sometimes being confident can feel like a struggle. If you're ever feeling down, try reminding yourself of all the qualities you like about yourself. You might think something like, "I'm funny, I'm smart, and I have great style!"
- Being confident is different than being cocky. Remain humble by taking an interest in your Capricorn man's talents and accomplishments, too. Ask him about his latest endeavors and give him time to talk about himself on dates as well.
