The Capricorn man is the most intense of the zodiac signs. He appears serious, trustworthy and confident and behaves like a wise elder, even in his youth. He approaches life with an intense but calm demeanor and is often described as a rock. Capricorn is the one that nobody messes with because everyone can sense his inner strength.
While the Capricorn is known to be logical, hardworking and successful, he is slow to trust and holds a grudge. Loving a Capricorn means a woman must respect him and his ambitious nature and be willing to help him turn his dreams into reality.
How to Win His Heart
The Capricorn man craves tradition and is attracted to a woman who would make a good mother, cook and housekeeper. He is also drawn to those who are feminine, conservative and ambitious. A woman hoping to win a Capricorn's heart must be as determined and hardworking as he is and welcome any challenges. She must also be enthusiastic about his goals and synchronize her desires to his.
The Capricorn is not willing to settle for a flake and expects his mate to act in a confident and mature manner. Although he can be a free spirit when he is young, once he reaches adulthood he will turn his back on his wild ways and focus on attaining success. Risk taking is not in the Capricorn's vocabulary. All his actions are respectable and principled. A woman hoping for a commitment should behave in the same manner.
Capricorn men are known to place much importance on how they are perceived by others. To earn his respect and trust, a woman must have excellent manners and communication skills. He'll expect her to know what may or may not be socially acceptable. She should dress stylishly but know how to find bargains. Capricorn men are practical and dislike frivolous spending.
What to Avoid
Beneath his calm exterior the Capricorn is somewhat unsure of himself. Although he appears confident, he often doesn't know how to express his emotions without feeling self-conscious. Don't mistake his shyness and cool demeanor for disinterest.
The Capricorn man has a strong sense of masculine pride and is rarely impressed with a woman who plays games, tries to make him jealous or is inclined to talk back. His ideal woman is one who is willing to live a traditional role and adopt traditional attitudes and behaviors. He is especially drawn to a woman who allows him to assume the role of protector.
Don't force a Capricorn into a commitment. A Capricorn rarely rushes into anything, especially a relationship. When he does decide to marry, he will remain a faithful, loving partner. Once a woman has won his heart, she can look forward to a lifetime of love, caring and devotion.
