But when it comes to dating a Capricorn woman, things don't go that simple – in addition, Capricorns are also very gentle, sensitive, and caring. Because of this, dating a Capricorn woman can possibly be a tricky thing, one that requires care, effort and attention, but the upside is – Capricorns can be with their partner for a long time.

| Couple Zodiac | Relationship Quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aries | Both parties have high energy but their behavior is different - Aries is more reckless and quick to act, while Capricorn is more planned. | You have to be careful to avoid disputes, which can happen on a regular basis. This pair would be very compatible with each other if each party in it had their respective duties clearly defined and carried out with minimal distraction. |
| Taurus | Both parties share similar values and goals. Capricorn and Taurus share their resources and emotions well with each other. | This pair is a perfect match, but can get tense if Capricorn sees Taurus as lazy and Taurus sees Capricorn as easily offended. |
| Gemini | Have completely opposite goals and behaviors. A relationship is still possible, but it will take hard work. | Gemini is intuitive and spontaneous, while Capricorn doesn't like to assume and is cautious. So, both must work together to allow each other to be himself. |
| Cancer | Has a tendency to form secure and deep emotional connections. | Makes great partners, although the emotional intensity of a relationship with a Cancer can sometimes result in major conflicts. |
| Leo | The target and level of determination is the same as Capricorn; While Leos are usually more goofy and social, Capricorns are more traditional and shy. | This pair can date very well if the mutual targets are the same, because Capricorn and Leo's strengths complement each other. |
| Virgo | Both have a realistic approach to life; Virgo is more focused on feelings and intuition, while Capricorn is more focused on status and ambition. | This couple can have a very pleasant life together - both enjoy material success, albeit for different reasons. |
| Libra | Libra is much more concerned with beauty and aesthetics than Capricorn, who is usually more interested in concrete things. | The relationship between Libra and Capricorn can be difficult. However, the strengths of these two parties complement each other, so the life of a couple will give commensurate results if both can compromise. |
| Scorpio | Scorpio likes to contemplate and introspect while Capricorn often thinks about things in the real world. | This pairing can be very satisfying if both parties involved try to express themselves clearly to their partner. |
| Sagittarius | Sagittarius is easygoing, quirky, and impatient, while Capricorn is more serious and cautious. | Both parties must work together to compromise. However, usually this pair can survive through minor conflicts. |
| Capricorn | Both parties are very humble, ambitious and hard workers. | This pair can be very successful (both materially and emotionally), but because both are equally ambitious, major conflicts can result if each other's roles are not properly defined and divided. |
| Aquarius | Capricorn is cautious and humble, while Aquarius is usually more optimistic and idealistic. | This pair has great potential. Those who have this type of relationship can form an inseparable bond easily. |
| Pisces | Pisces tend to be dreamy and emotional, as opposed to Capricorn who is humble and cautious in life. | This pair is a vivid example of opposites but mutually attractive - each providing something the other needs. |
Method 1 of 3: Winning a Capricorn's Heart
Step 1. Get him interested by talking about his personal or office work
Capricorns are ambitious and hardworking people. Most of them are comfortable discussing their professional goals and the progress they have made towards those goals. Try talking to him about what he's going to do to get ahead in life – whether this includes office work or personal projects like art, writing, etc. – and don't be surprised if he's ready to talk about these things at length..
- Work may be a topic you find boring, but you don't have to sound like you're asking formal questions in a job interview when you talk about her. In fact, with some creativity (and a gentle atmosphere), you can add a bit of teasing to a normally boring question. Here are some sample questions you can ask:
- Plain question: "Where do you work?" "What are you doing?" "Did you enjoy it?" "Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?"
-
Seductive question:
"So what's your plan to make your first billion?" "What's the next step in life?" "Are you someone more like Gordon Gekko or Lorenzo Anello?"
Step 2. Put your professional achievements into the conversation subtly
Because they value ambition and determination, most Capricorns value someone who works hard and achieves great success. However, Capricorns are humble and like traditional things, so they usually don't respond well to overly bragging. However, try to shed some light on your accomplishments by bringing them into the conversation naturally. Take a look at the example below:
-
Proud clearly:
"You see these shoes? They are made of real crocodile skin." "We have to go sailing in my new Bugatti this weekend." "I won employee of the month in my father's real estate business, 5 times in a row!"
-
Boasts subtly:
"I hope to use my first bonus to do something good for us." "I only used this watch on special occasions – I bought it for myself when I graduated from master's degree." "I don't usually do this, but I like something beautiful after things are going well at my job."
Step 3. Play with his sense of competition – with care
Capricorns aren't usually the ones to shy away after a bit of casual arguing. Plan a date that involves some level of rivalry that can lead to fun and some serious romantic sparks. However, do not create intense and heated competition. Too much competition leads to anger and, in addition, Capricorns don't like the shame of losing a high-stakes game.
-
Good date ideas:
Play bowling, cards, mini golf, shooting/archery, arcade games, board games with drinks.
-
Bad date ideas:
Racing, playing 1 on 1 basketball with street basketball rules, high risk poker.
- If you're dominating the competition, it's best if you let your date win, at least once at whatever you do to avoid embarrassment. Don't be so obvious that you're letting him win – this will be more embarrassing than losing.
Step 4. Give him a meaningful gift that he might use
Most Capricorns are practical people who will value gifts more for their value and usefulness than their symbolic meaning. While a piece of jewelry or a bunch of flowers is a sweet gesture, give her a simpler gift. Try to give him something that can be used or enjoyed longer than a single pleasure.
The ideal gift for a Capricorn woman depends on her hobbies and personal interests. For example, if he likes painting, try giving him a high-quality drawing book and a set of professional pencils. If he was born an athlete, give him an exclusive gym membership card with the best equipment. There is no “right” answer here – it all depends on the woman herself
Step 5. Sometimes, take him to places of high social status
While Capricorns aren't particularly fond of glitzy, ostentatious displays of wealth, they're actually status seekers and will enjoy trying to do better every once in a while. To celebrate a special occasion (and sometimes just because you "want to") try to treat your Capricorn partner out to some fancy place.
- Good dating ideas: Museums, operas, fine restaurants, film festivals, performing arts, weekend getaways, wineries and more.
- Don't have a lot of cash? You can still enjoy the finer things in life if you are creative. For example, try searching for local university “events” on websites – you can usually find guest speakers, attend book signing events, and more for a lower price or even free.
Method 2 of 3: Becoming an Ideal Partner
Step 1. Agree on long-term goals beforehand
One of the biggest dangers to having a successful relationship with a Capricorn woman is that, if your goals don't look like they fit, she may just walk away. Protect yourself from the pain of having this tough talk after a year of being in a relationship by double-checking your long-term goals for compatibility for the first 6 months of your relationship. The questions you should be able to answer are:
- Do any of you plan to get married in your lifetime?
- Does one of you want children?
- Does one of you want a pet?
- When do you want to get married?
- How much do you want to save and how much do you want to spend?
- What's the big thing you want to buy?
- How do you plan to finance your life?
Step 2. Give him the freedom to say something about your plans
There's no such thing as a perfect match for a long-term partner – some compromises are needed to make this long-term relationship work. When the time comes to start talking about what specific compromises you're planning, make sure to make your partner equal or equal in decision-making. Not only is this a general rule – but it's also a smart move for long-term happiness. Your partner will be more respectful of “your” wishes if you are willing to sacrifice things so he can get his.
Step 3. Let him decide the pace of your relationship
Unless you're a Capricorn too (or have a similar disposition), there's a good chance the Capricorn woman will need more time to prepare in this relationship than you. "Give him time." Initial reluctance to go too deep into a relationship, may not reflect his feelings for you personally – this is a result of his cautious, calm and careful decision making Give him time to open up to you and you'll be happy to have waited.
Step 4. Treat him with respect
This may not be new advice to you, but it will be worth it because it usually becomes more important for Capricorn women than it is for women usually. As mentioned above, Capricorn women care about status. This means they tend to notice when they are being treated like reducing their status and they will become embarrassed about certain violations of etiquette that ordinary women may not even be aware of. Respect your Capricorn partner – this doesn't mean you have to be very serious around him, but it does mean you're willing to act differently around him than you would around your closest friends. Things to consider are:
- The language you use around him (especially with harsh words, etc.)
- The way you talk about it in public
- The way you talk about it to your friends
- Small manners you show him (holding his hand to help him walk, giving him your jacket when it's cold, etc.)
Method 3 of 3: Know What to Avoid
Step 1. Don't give up because of his self-preservation
As noted above, Capricorns are usually traditional, business-minded, and slightly conservative people. This will lead them to appear arrogant and cold at first. Understand, in every Capricorn, there is actually someone who is capable of deep emotions and affection. While the average Capricorn may not be as open as, for example, the average Leo, about his emotions, he is still capable of forming emotional bonds if given enough time.
Step 2. Avoid going to her when you feel needy or depressed
Capricorn values themselves by not relying heavily on others to achieve their goals. Since your Capricorn partner is someone who is free-spirited, don't bring him down by constantly begging for attention and affection. Instead, cherish every moment you "share" with him, because these moments are genuine and not forced. In addition, be prepared to entertain yourself periodically – Capricorns won't mind if they can't see you every day, and you should too.
-
Behaviors you should avoid:
calling or texting repeatedly every day, often asking for affirmation of affection, jealousy, trying to change his schedule.
Step 3. Avoid appearing lazy and unmotivated
Few things are as appealing to Capricorn as someone who refuses to "try" to work things out on their own. Don't let your Capricorn partner start to see you as someone who is reckless. Try to keep ambitious professional goals, even if you can't achieve them all. Likewise, don't assume your relationship – always show your partner that he or she is important to you. Make a genuine effort to work hard on your professional and personal life and he will appreciate your efforts.
Sometimes, life has to do with something difficult that forces us to be less active than before. For example, illness, family problems, and sudden layoffs may force you to take a slightly less active role in achieving your goals. In these cases, don't give in to feelings of inadequacy – smart Capricorn women will be able to tell the difference between someone who "won't" work hard for their goals and someone who is "temporarily prevented from doing so."
Step 4. On the other hand, avoid attitudes that show dominance
With their free-thinking personality, Capricorn "dislikes" being set up with other people who are important to them or having some kind of one-sided relationship implied in any way. Take a non-intrusive approach – he should be left free to make his own decisions and form his own opinions. Above all he is “not” someone to be mastered, controlled, or belittled. Be prepared to respect his freedom or you will risk losing him.
-
Behaviors to avoid:
Talking for your partner at social events, apologizing for his opinion that differs from yours, violating his privacy or personal space, trying to control his behavior, and so on.
Step 5. Don't expect him to “fix” some deep-seated problems you have
For better or for worse, Capricorn is focused on all of their own problems – not their partner's. While a good Capricorn woman will always be willing to offer words of loving support and a shoulder to cry on in times of trouble, they generally won't feel satisfied being in a relationship where they are expected to expend more energy on helping you. Capricorn expects their partner to believe in themselves and get the help they need when they're really in trouble so it won't have any bearing on their relationship.
-
Issues you shouldn't share with your partner: “Depression, money abuse problems, stress from family problems, job stress, mental health issues, risky behavior, poor self-control, difficulties from previous relationships, etc.
Tips
- Capricorn takes time to get to know you, including in the bedroom. In fact, he's taken a long time to appreciate and cultivate his own elegant and beautiful mind, so he won't expect anything from you. If you are in a hurry, then you are with the wrong woman. Keywords: Be patient. Dating a Capricorn woman is like waiting for the water to boil. It may take a while for your relationship to get serious, but if you're patient, even the water you're boiling will eventually boil over, and you can enjoy the results.
- He is someone who is full of love, but it takes the right man to bring out this trait. Make intimate moments with him for a moment, but not too long.
- Capricorn women are very classy. They know what they want and will strive to excel at any goal he sets for himself. They can also be stubborn but have a sensitive heart when you get to know them.
