Capricorn men are often hard-working, successful, and down-to-earth. Their reliable and straightforward nature makes them super desirable partners, but it can take a little bit of time to win them over. To capture the heart of a Capricorn man, show him that you’re just as ambitious and steadfast as he is (while also having some fun, too). Read on for some more tips on making a Capricorn man super attracted to you!

This article is based on an interview with our psychic astrologer, Stina Garbis, owner of Psychic Stina. Check out the full interview here.

1

Flaunt your intelligence.

  1. Capricorn men usually possess intelligence and wit, and surround themselves with others who are similar. Astrologer Stina Garbis emphasizes that in order to be chased by a Capricorn, "You need to become part of [their] close circle. They do not socialize well outside of their few close companions and they love these people dearly and naturally miss them."[1] Thus, to make your crush chase after you, show off how smart you are yourself. Bring up thought-provoking conversation topics like history, philosophy, and the sciences. Do your best to speak confidently and stand your ground in conversation, even if the two of you start (respectfully) debating. A Capricorn man will be thoroughly impressed with your intellect and will likely keep reaching out to talk more.
    • Opt for dates that can help stimulate interesting conversations, like an art gallery, history museum, or a bookstore with a coffee shop inside. Refer to what you see to get the conversation going.[2]
    • At a history museum, for example, you might say something like, "That exhibit made me see that point in time so differently. What did you think?"
    • Text him links to interesting articles on current events. You might add, "This article really made me think. I'd love to know your opinion!"

Show him how ambitious you are.

  1. Capricorns are ambitious themselves, so they're attracted to people with goals. Make him positively obsessed with you by setting goals and following your dreams. Your life will only get better as you put these plans in motion, and your Capricorn man will likely take notice and start pursuing you seriously.[3]
    • Set ambitious career goals. Consider applying to new jobs or taking classes if you're interested in switching career paths and trying something new.
    • Pursue your passions in life. You might try showing your paintings at a local art gallery or reading your poems at an open mic night.
    • As you get to know him, give him updates on your pursuits and passions so he can see what you’re up to.

Joke around and show off your sense of humor.

  1. A sense of humor is hugely attractive to Capricorn men. He may be serious about his work, but he wants to have a good time, too. Show him your fun side by sending him funny GIFS and memes or cracking jokes when you're out on dates. Astrologer Stina Garbis cautions, "If the texting doesn’t revolve around Capricorn's assistance, or humor, you may get ghosted"[4] He'll be dying to chase after such an easygoing, dynamic person.[5]
    • Send him a GIF or a meme related to his favorite movie or TV show.[6]
    • Tease him a little if you're comfortable. You might text him, "Up late working again? Surprise, surprise 😉"

Flirt with him.

  1. He'll appreciate a playful, simple approach to flirting. You might try smiling at him, complimenting him, and touching him affectionately on your dates. You can also try enlisting his help. Astrologer Stina Garbis emphasizes, "if you were to ask for help from a Capricorn, that may generate attention from them. I would start small with asking for help, like helping with a car, or some small household 'emergency.' They will automatically hope that you are okay and you will end up on their worry list, and if they help you, depending upon how quickly, you’ll know they are interested."[7] In other words, it'll help him realize that you like him, which will send him chasing after you for more attention.
    • Next time you see him when you're out and about, smile at him. It'll likely be enough for the confident and self-assured Capricorn to approach you.
    • Compliment him on something specific so that your admiration feels special. You might say, "You've got the funniest sense of humor" or "You always give the best advice 😊"
    • When you're out on dates, you might try touching his shoulder, hugging him, or kissing him to show your affection.
5

Wear fashionable and sophisticated clothes.

  1. Capricorn men often like elegant, understated ensembles. To pique his interest, opt for outfits that make you feel confident and stylish. Make your outfit a little more formal with some jewelry, like a cool lapel pin or a pretty necklace. He'll appreciate the fact that you made an effort to look extra nice, and he'll keep reaching out to see what you wear next.[8]
    • Fashion staples that might appeal to a Capricorn man's taste include a sheer blouse, a plaid blazer, or a well-made leather jacket. Since your crush is an earth sign, wear earthy hues like brown, forest green, and charcoal.[9]
    • Add some perfume or cologne to be even more alluring to your Capricorn crush.

Have fun and experiment in the bedroom.

  1. Capricorn men are usually relaxed and open-minded when it comes to sex. When the two of you start getting intimate, try your best to approach things with a calm, down-to-earth attitude. Talk about what you like and ask him about his turn-ons, too. He'll love being with someone he can experiment and be free with, and he'll likely keep calling to see you again.[10]
    • It's okay if you're not ready for this stage just yet. There are plenty of other ways to win over a Capricorn man! Focus on spending time together and getting to know each other.
7

Talk about practical things with him.

  1. As earth signs, Capricorn men are sensible and responsible. Show him that you've got a handle on your life as well by talking about subjects like finance, family, and future plans. He'll appreciate your grounded approach to life and will be intrigued to get to know you more.[11]
    • When you're talking to him, bring up things like budgeting, plans you've got going with your family, and where you see yourself in the next couple of years.
    • You might say something like, "I've been saving the past few months to move into a bigger apartment. I'd love to find a place with a yard so I can get a dog." He'll like the fact that you proactively plan for your future.
    • Don't be afraid to mention how close you are to your family. Family is really important to most Capricorn men, so he'll be happy to see that you share similar values.

Respect his work ethic.

  1. A Capricorn man is looking for someone that appreciates his ambition. As you get to know him, ask him about his latest professional pursuits and endeavors. Also make sure that you give him lots of space and time to devote to his work. As Astrologer Stina Garbis suggests, "Try not to blow up his phone with extra long text messages while he is at work. If he cares he will reach out daily but just maybe not while he is working."[12] You'll stand out as a real catch if you show him that you value his hard work and integrity.[13]
    • You might say, "You told me last time we hung out that you were looking for new freelance projects. Any exciting prospects?"
    • Try to be understanding if he can't hang out sometimes because he's got a big project he needs to finish up. Text him something like, "I totally get it. You've got this!"
9

Support him through the tough times.

  1. Capricorn men want to feel cared for by their partners. Due to their ambitious natures, they can be hard on themselves and might need encouragement sometimes. Give him a boost with some reassuring words and you’ll trigger his affections in a heartbeat.[14]
    • If he opens up to you about his struggles, make sure to really listen to what he has to say. Make eye contact, ask him follow-up questions, and avoid looking at your phone.
    • If he had a rough day at work, send him a text like, “I know work’s been hard lately, but you’re the most driven person I know. If anyone can handle it, you can.”
    • You might try sending over a humorous, encouraging meme to make him laugh and feel better. That’ll surely charm a Capricorn man.

Remain honest 100% of the time.

  1. Capricorn men are usually very straightforward. To capture his attention, be as direct and honest as he is.[15] When you're spending time together, let him know what you're thinking about. He'll appreciate knowing what's on your mind, even if the two of you disagree. After a few weeks of really good dates, you might even tell him that you like him. A Capricorn will like knowing you're real feelings, and he'll be excited to pursue such a truthful and genuine person.[16]
    • Tell him when your mind is preoccupied. You might say something like, "Sorry if I seem distracted. I've been stressed over work stuff lately."
    • If you've been seeing each other for 2-3 weeks, you might say something like, "I've had such a good time getting to know you. I like you!"
    • If you tell him that you like him, keep in mind that a Capricorn man might take a little while to reciprocate his feelings in return. He might need some time before he feels ready to open up and share his feelings.[17]
11

Practice patience if he wants to take things slow.

  1. Capricorns take their time to get to know their dates. If you’ve been seeing him for a few weeks and he’s still not chasing after you, don’t fret.[18] According to Astrologer Stina Garbis, "know that Capricorn is not generally a “mushy” sign, they are more practical about the people they love. They care about life’s necessities."[19] Give him space, avoid sending double-texts to check up on him, and focus on your friendships and other pursuits in life. He’ll like the fact that you’re not pushing him to commit, and your carefree attitude will likely convince him to start chasing you.[20]
    • Don't be surprised if your first couple of dates feel more like you're hanging out as friends. Capricorn men sometimes like to be friends first so they can feel more comfortable around you.
    • If he hasn’t texted you back for over a week or doesn’t seem interested in making plans to hang out, he might not be interested. This can hurt, but know that there are other people out there that would love to date you.

Maintain your confidence.

  1. Capricorn men are attracted to people with high self-worth. Developing high self-esteem is a lifelong journey for everyone, and it’s a huge part of attracting healthy, loving partners. To make this Capricorn man go crazy for you, believe in yourself and flaunt your strengths. Try your best not to put yourself down on dates, as well, as that might turn off a Capricorn.[21]
    • To boost your self-esteem, remind yourself of all of your talents and accomplishments. Write them down as a list and read it over anytime you need a pick me up.
    • You can be confident and still practice humility. Avoid boasting or coming off as arrogant by giving your Capricorn man plenty of room to talk about his strengths as well.
