I read that Capricorns have problems expressing themselves, and now I'm starting to believe it's true. He seems shy and sometimes treats me like any other person and not his girlfriend but he's never mean. How do I get him to be more romantic and show me more affection? Or will he come around by himself?

Well, I'm sure it goes way past the horoscope aspect - bear that in mind. He isn't shy because he is a capricorn (aside: my mom is a capricorn and is mad social. so), but rather because he is more then likely a shy person at heart who may not be comfortable with his emotional side. \n\n Perhaps you should flat out talk to him about it, because being open about things like this in relationships always helps. Address your concerns about the relationship and try to create a comfortable atmosphere in which to get an open dialogue going. And if he still feels uncomfortable..then give him time and keep supporting him.

Hi I am a fellow Capricorn myself :-D \nI do not want to be mean, but this really is not a very favorable match, though, however, I am sure this still can be a strong and lasting realtionship between the Ram and the Goat.  \nWhen Aries and Capricorn come together in a love match, they must work hard to maintain their mutual energy. Their approaches can seem almost opposite to one another -- Aries is all about acting without bothering to consider where the action is directed or what it will attain, while Capricorn is all about judging whether (or how much) it will benefit them before they take action. Aries moves fast and, to Capricorn, at least, seems to risk it all. Capricorn abhors unnecessary risk. They move at a slower pace, working inexhaustibly toward well-defined goals (usually related to career or other forms of public advancement). Both partners always get where they're going, only in different ways -- and usually where they're going is totally different, too! \nCapricorn is generally rather quiet and unassuming while Aries is much louder and more flashy. They're both very stubborn and think their way is best, so in order to work together, they have to agree to disagree. Their philosophies are very different: Aries looks for the shortcut while Capricorn wants to follow the rules, assuming they're a tried-and-true path to success. How does this manifest itself in a romantic relationship? Aries is all about impetuous, passionate pursuit of the one they want, without stopping to think whether the one they've chosen is really the right one for them. Capricorn, on the other hand, likes to analyze how much a potential love partner will be able to help them advance in life, and will use that as the basis of their decision of whether or not to pursue the relationship. If these two can meet and get together, however, they can teach one another things they wouldn't learn on their own. Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars (Passion) and Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn (Karma). These Planets often work against one another, just as Aries and Capricorn have to struggle to find common ground. These two can definitely help one another, however, especially on a project: Saturn has strong powers of perseverance, but Mars has the energy and drive it takes to get things done. These two Signs might make a better duo in the workplace than in the bedroom! Both partners tend to be resolute and neither gives up easily; if their energies are not channeled in positive ways, together these Planets may inflict cruelty, even violence on one another, or cause one another to repress their emotions. Aries must take care not to work against Capricorn, who, in turn, must try not to dampen Aries's fiery spirit.\nAries is a Fire Sign and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. While Aries is dynamic, Capricorn is more grounded and practical. Capricorn's approach is to ask themselves, 'What good will this do as I work toward my main plan in life?' while Aries simply sees what is desirable at the moment and goes after it with no set plan in mind. Aries and Capricorn are both Cardinal Signs. Both partners are initiators, but they have such widely varying goals and interests that they work better when they each have a particular, well-defined role. Aries is the leader on the surface -- they rush out to get things going and knock down any barriers in the way. But Capricorn is indirectly in charge: They're always working steadily toward their goals. It's important for both partners to understand that compromise is their key to success. What's the best aspect of the Aries-Capricorn relationship? They each bring unique qualities to their union. Once they can learn to allow each other to be themselves they can blend well to make a whole. Theirs is a challenging relationship, but if they can learn from each other it's worth it! As with any relationship based in mutual love and respect, most obstacles can be overcome

He may feel rejected but if you have talked about how you feel them i'm sure he won't.  Sometimes he may get frustrated with you...trust me I was in the same situation.  And each time he gets upset just remember that he is in a different situation.  Men tend to think of sex as a was of expressing their love.  One thing I did was to find other ways to express my love for him. I wrote tons of love notes and made cookies with his name on them.  This made my ex-boyfriend feel like I truly loved him.  You just need to have good communication and I am sure he will not be upset in any way. Good luck and if you need any advice just send me an email

No, you are not the reason he is not opening up. But, yes, do give him space and time. When he is ready he will talk to you (or not). From my experience, men like to work things out by themselves, and if he works it out successfully he might tell you or more customary just act like it. You will know its all better just by his mannerisms.\n\nBut for now space and time, ok honey. It's all good, just be patient, y'll see. Hope I helped a lil.

It sounds like you too have a deep connection, he called you and you keep loving him and thinking about him plus you two talked "in silence" too its as if you have a body language connection as well.I think you two should try being together again, try another date and tell him how much you enjoy his company and his personality and how people make mistakes.that might bring him back too you.hope this helps.

Hi Vandana,\n\nQuite a sad position to be in. \n\nanyways, first things first, forget about this rubbish astrology stuff. It has nothing to do with love or relationship.\n\nDo keep in mind that you cannot clap with one hand. \n\nAbout being beautiful, i must say \n'do u yourself consider yourself beautiful?'\n\nwell no one can have respect for you, if you don't have 'self-respect'\n\nSo,\n\n1. Have a very high regard for yourself.\n2. Get a change in wardrobe, add some colors, frills, sexy outfits. \n3. Go for a makeover, mainly hairs.\n4. Way to Man's heart is thru is stomach. make sure you cook some new and exotic dishes. (internet can help you, or join some cookery classes)\n5. If possible, tell him that you love him, atleast couple of times a day (important times)\n\nhope this will make you more beautiful and deserving. \nif not write back. \n\nCheers,\nGyaan Guru

You're obviously both mature adults so a lot of the answers you get may not be mature enough for your situation. You mentioned that this man is shy, embarrasses and suffers some from mild depression. The depression part would concern me with regards to the other two traits in that if he is having a few bad days in a row and avoids calling until he feels more in control of himself then the embarrassment and shyness may become a factor and he will prolong the call even more. This isn't going to grow your lines of communication so I'm thinking, considering his specific personality traits, you may have to take the role of aggressor in pursuing the time you spend together, whether that be in person or on the phone. Obviously with his overfilled work schedule and this tiring him then you would have to use common sense in when and when not to call him. I would suggest you ask him if there are times when the two of you could speak regularly on the phone that wont interfere with his work, time of rest and even his time needed or personal alone time. Once you've established this then you can build on a regular line of communication from there to setting aside specific planned times to be alone together in person. This is going to take work, patience and diligence on both your parts but I just get the feeling that he's not a pursuer but needs to be pursued to get his 'engines' running on all cylinders.\n\nBest Wishes & Good Luck!!

Ok I had this exact same relationship with my first boyfriend. First and foremost: Remain abstinet until you are certain you are ready. Do not let him affect that decision. Second: You have to lay it down straight. Make sure he does like you. Right now without you dating there is nothing you can do about his flirting but it is possible he is trying to make you jealous to see if you care. Show him you care but don't come off as jealous. Ask him out on a date, get the realtionship going then if he continues to flirt let him know how you feel about it.

dunno love. you obviously care a lot about him....\nleave him alone for a while, perhaps he'll decide that just being friends is good for him... there again maybe he'll decide you're a cow and he hates you. you cannot control what goes on inside his head or try to second guess/pre-empt it.\nthat's the trouble with men though aint it? they seem to think that just being friends means they've moved down in your estimations somehow, when in fact it just means you wanna know them forever, without all the messy stuff that gets in the way of that.\nmaybe he's low in confidence and looking for love.... thought he'd found it with you... perhaps if he gains some self esteem and meets someone else he'll appreciate how important and precious a good friendship can be.\nunfortunately, i don't think there's anything you can do to make him feel any better about it all though, he'll have to get there by himself.

Possible answers\n1. he's a pig and doesn't really like you, but can't tell you\n2. he's never good giving his feelings and is more scared of hurting your feelings if it comes out wrong\n3. he assumes you know how he feels.\n4. do you compliment him? you may be getting what you give\n5. he doesn't understand how important it is that he not be forced to compliment you. that it's important to you because it makes you feel even more attractive.\n\nyou're not being a man-pleaser. you're pleasing yourself to know you are wanted. he needs to tell you from time to time that you are wanted. or you need to find someone who wants you more.

I had the same problem. You just have to wait for the perfect time and not rush things. My boyfriend use to be so shy but now I can't get him to shut up. J/K.

Well I am currently dating a Libra and he is still unsure after 3 years if he wants to move this relationship to the next level.  I ask him and he freaks out that I am pressuring him.  We really don't have conflicts.  Just basic relationship woes everyone goes through.  I knew he liked me when he started calling me on a daily basis.  He doesn't like talking on the phone and doesn't answer it unless it's me calling.

Your partner's bahabiour is quite controlling and dominating,so it appears on the surface.Displaying affection is a good thing,but overly showing ur neediness to be with him all the time,without giving him breathing space sounds troublesome.Maybe ur behaviour is childish,SMSing calling just to say a hi, and hello every now n then.Maybe this is acting as a repellent.Grow up.The more u run after him,the more he would want to cut contacts with u.Men like to win their love through a hard way.Anything easily falling in their hands is not seen as a compliment.Further,do u want to be treated the way he does to u now?Has he declared his love for u verbally?U sure this isnt freindship?Also,his giving u lesser attention is drawing u to him closer.Are u sure u love him?

I guess they're about as compatible as any other sign is. I am an Aries and I used to date a Capricorn.

WOW! You are a very gifter person.  My boyfriend has the same ability to tell what kind of feelings a person is having or what type of personality they have...\nI couldn't say who to talk to, but I am pretty positive there is some type of literature on the subject... You might even wanna ask in the Mythology and Culture channel, they might be able to help you better.

Hi!,\nIt sounds like you would like your boyfriend to be more open and to communicate his thoughts more. If he does not open up and communicate what he is thinking, feeling or doing you would be left to think many things.\nMy first thought would be, has he always been of this particular nature, that is not open, or not very communicative? If so love him as he his.\nMy second thought is, you would like to have a partner that is open and communicative. Perhaps that is how you are (open and communicative), and you have that recipricating need. It would not be healthy heart trying to guess what another person is thinking. We are so often incorrect to try and guess what a person is thinking. What is, is, can be a simple thought. A person who thinks less could be more at peace, at least not so stressed. Try it. Try and be more like him, since you wish perhaps him to be more like yourself. Good Luck

Rather than label your problem and tell you to get therapy, I would like to give you hope. I have a good friend who has similar issues that your describe. He has great difficulty with intimacy and is close to only a few people outside of immediate relatives. He has not dated in years. How does he handle the problem? He developed a trusting friendship with me and I give him the support he needs anytime he calls. Does he think he is attractive? Probably not. Is his self-esteem low? Maybe...but the key to his willingness to work on his problem is knowing he has one person that no matter what will always be on his side. \n\nOne of the biggest things that I could recommend is opening up to someone. Rather than think you are ugly (something that may never go away), recognize that ugliness is YOUR PERCEPTION. The love of a friend looks beyond the outside. If you put this trust in your friend (or friends) and possibly consider taking a medication for the anxiety (that is what you are describing), you can slowly emerge from the self absorption that is distressing you. \n\nRemember, no one finds love or overcomes loneliness without giving to another. There is someone out there that wants to give to you. Try it little by little. \n\nWorse case scenario: What is the worst thing that someone could say to you? If you aren't sure or if the answer sounds ridiculous as you write it down...consider a social anxiety disorder. No matter how strong you are, being anxious can paralyze your efforts. Address the real problem and you will find your answers one by one.\n\nGood luck friend. I take care of my friends.
