Everything You Need to Know About Dating a Capricorn Man

There are just a few basics that need to be explored when you first start dating someone. Where is he from? What does he do for a living? Oh, and most definitely, when’s his birthday? This isn’t just for remembering when to send that “happy b-day :)” text! Knowing a potential boo’s zodiac sign can really help in understanding his behavior. Astrology helps us break down personality traits, pet peeves, and, yes, even dating patterns. It can be fun and informative to look up his sign and see how yours works with his.

If you’re dating, Insta stalking (hi, guilty), or just fantasizing over a Capricorn man, we’re here to help you navigate him. These sea-goats are known for being super-successful, ambitious, and hard-working, but don’t believe the haters—they can play as hard as they work, once you finally convince them to leave the office.

Best matches

Scorpio is a fixed sign, so they already have the stability and reliability that Caps want so badly from their partner, and there’s a natural compatibility between earth signs and water signs. Taurus is another spectacular match for a Capricorn. They’re both earth signs and vibe well from the start, and the mutual respect these two have for each other’s strong work ethic is a huge compatibility booster! Capricorn also gets along with fellow earth sign Virgo—both are known for their practical, logical worldviews. Together, they can conquer the world. Finally, Cancer and Capricorn have an opposites-attract vibe (literally, they’re opposites on the zodiac). Emotional, nurturing Cancer balances out Cap’s logical vibes.

All About Capricorn

Capricorn is the mature, assertive daddy of the zodiac. He’s a cardinal sign, meaning he’s motivated, ambitious, and a great leader, but he’s also an earth sign, which makes him practical, productive, and über dependable. His sign is ruled by Saturn, the slow-moving planet of responsibility and structure—so he’s super serious, almost all the time! This is why he’s such a natural businessman; he’s goal-driven, brilliant in his field, and like all earth signs, motivated by money. But even if he makes enough money for the both of you, he’s only interested in being with someone just as hardworking as he is. Is he the most spontaneous guy around? Well, no, but his love for you is rock solid.

In the preliminary dating stage, it takes a while for this guy to let his walls down. He easily comes off as cold and intimidating, even though he probably isn’t trying to, and he’s a tough nut to crack. Once he’s sure you’re actually into him, he makes a move. He’s the earth sign most likely to approach you first, thanks to his motivated nature as a cardinal sign, but don’t expect flowers and chocolates! He’ll shoot you a text or just come up to you and say: “Hey, I like you.” He’s big on routines and schedules, so he’ll probably send you a Google calendar invite and remind you at least once before the fact.

He’s not good with emotions—he’s the opposite of Cancer, the most emotional sign—but he tries his best to be affectionate. Acts of service is his chosen love language–his earthy nature means he’s only really concerned with what’s tangible, so he’ll never be an over-the-top romantic. Being the most business-minded sign, a lot of the help he offers you is in the form of assisting you in career or education-related matters. You could be pulling a hell of an all-nighter finishing up a presentation, but once he swoops in to help out, the whole project is finished in the blink of an eye.

When he’s with you, he invests a huge amount of time and energy into your own personal development so you can find success with all of your goals. One of his greatest talents as the zodiac’s cardinal earth sign is being a phenomenal leader that can offer practical advice while also leading by example, which you’ll definitely observe if you’re around him long enough! No matter how big the job is, he’s ready with a plan. He’s equally as unapologetic about pushing you to achieve your best work, too! If he’s confident that both of you are independently crushing it, then he’s happy. He wants a powerful union between two equally-successful lovers, and a relationship with this guy promises to be stable, secure, and have a ton of lasting value.

However, life isn’t always about constant wins, and a Capricorn is seriously under a lot of pressure from trying to make it so. Impressing him takes a lot, and sometimes the only indication of his approval is a quick smile or a nod. He’s also so focused on working that you might go a couple days without hearing from him–work-life balance is uh, not a balance with him.

Your Capricorn guy is no-nonsense and grounded, just like all earth signs. He’s a pessimist, to be honest, and a lot of the time his aloof reputation comes from the fact that his outlook is rarely bright. This is why he’s such a control freak—he thinks the only way to avoid hurt or disappointment is to be in charge of everything. Don’t worry about him being too possessive or controlling, though. He takes respect very seriously, too, and if you feel like he’s stepped on your toes, just speak up about it! He’s very cut-and-dry with how he approaches matters, so as long as you’re the same way it should be smooth sailing.

He’s such a hardass because it’s in his nature, truthfully, and he has nothing but the best intentions (because he always has to be the best, remember?) His constellation, the Sea Goat, is also known as the Mountain Goat by some, and like a mountain goat, this guy has lofty goals, aims high, and jumps higher and higher up to reach success! The view is nice from up top, and he wants nothing more than to share that with you.
