Capricorn men are ambitious, hard-working, and loyal. They can also be closed off and a little too serious and practical sometimes. Don’t worry though—with the right partner, a Capricorn man will open up and be super dedicated and loving. Below we’ve put together some tips to help you navigate a relationship with a Capricorn man so can keep him hooked and happy.

Method 1 of 3:

Attracting a Capricorn Man

1
Have interesting conversations. This will help you to get beyond a Capricorn man's formal exterior and engage the quirky, charming man inside. Capricorn men often very reserved, witty and have a dry sense of humor, so spark up quiet, intelligent conversations.
- Choose outings that make a good environment for conversations. Capricorns prefer quiet dinners out or at home. Avoid bringing him to a loud bar or party. He will just get bored or annoyed.
2
Dress elegantly. A Capricorn man is very sensual, but his drive for social status and success will ultimately determine if he thinks of you as a potential partner. Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight or revealing. Dress in mature, conservative clothes. Pick out something you would wear to dinner with his parents.
- You don't need to be a stunner to get his attention. Capricorns prefer intellect over beauty.
- If you have glasses, wear them. They can make you seem more intellectual.
