How to Get a Capricorn Man Back
1. Don’t rush it
Capricorn men are deeply methodical, logical men.
At the first sign of rushing to jump back into dating, Capricorns retreat.
And after that, they’ll be playing hard to get big time.
If you can hold off on the relationship talk, do it for the sake of getting back together when the Capricorn man is ready to open up that conversation.

2. Slowly build a friendship
A Capricorn man prizes friendship almost above all else in his romantic relationships.
Ultimately, the Cappy is looking for a mate for life, and he’d like that woman to be his best friend.
So don’t be afraid to pal around with him. You won’t risk losing your chance or being “friend zoned.”
Remember, being a good friend to him is also about listening and being there for him.
Be the type of friend he could call in the middle of the night and you wouldn’t hesitate to jump in the car, if it’s what he needed.
That’s the kind of solid friendship that reignites his passion for you.
3. Let him know you’re there for him
If you and your Capricorn man have broke up but you’re still on friendly terms, it’s important to make him aware that you still have his back.
You can do this without putting pressure on him. Just quickly mentioning it during a texting conversation will suffice.
If he says he’s having a hard time at work, offer an ear to listen sometime…if he wants.
Be casual about it, but clear.
That way, he knows he can trust you, and he doesn’t feel like you’re prying.
4. Don’t chase him
At the end of the day, your Capricorn ex isn’t going to go after you if you’re so available you’re basically throwing yourself at him.
For the hard-working Capricorn man, it’s psychological—he wants to earn you back.
To him, this increases your value. And make no mistake, this practical earth sign thinks in terms of value.
To be on the safe side, always make sure he’s the one taking the steps and actions most of the time.
In other words, make sure he’s coming to you most of the time—not the other way around.
5. Get slightly sentimental
As you become better friends, at some point you’re going to want to start creating that intimate feeling between you and your Capricorn guy again.
One thing you can do is to give him a sweet, slightly sentimental compliment.
For example: “I’ve always loved that sweater on you. It makes your blue eyes pop.”
Saying something like this will remind him of the flame that used to exist between you.
Or you can drop a “remember when” type of comment about your history together—as long as it’s modest, cute or funny in nature and not too heavy or emotional.
Though he’s not overly emotional himself, a Capricorn man is definitely susceptible to a sweet little comment that brings up good memories and feelings.
6. Be open
In the quest to prove to your Cap that you’re worth reinvesting his feelings into, you want to show that you take him seriously and that you do, in fact, love him.
That last part is really important, because a Capricorn man is not going to waste his time going into the past to salvage a less-than-meaningful relationship.
You don’t want to be clingy—just willing to be totally vulnerable and real with him.
It can be a fine line with a Capricorn, but if you’re worried about messing up you can check out Anna Kovach’s tips in Capricorn Man Secrets.
Basically, if your Capricorn man asks how you feel, don’t sugarcoat it.
He can probably tell, anyway. He just wants to hear you say it.
7. Show him that things will be different
Whatever you do, make him aware that if you two were to get back together, he wouldn’t be dealing with the same old problems.
What were your issues? Your part of them should be resolved, or you should be working toward that.
As an earth sign, he needs something tangible. So put your money where your mouth is and demonstrate exactly how things will be different.
Do this by not fighting, or by simply giving him whatever it was he felt was missing before.
A Capricorn man wants success or nothing at all, so this is a good way to boost his confidence.
8. Show how you’re improving yourself
Always put your own achievements and self-improvements out there for a Capricorn to admire!
He isn’t interested in any woman, even an ex he was madly passionate about, who isn’t making something of herself.
What he respects is hard work. Not for the sake of it, but to make yourself better.
Again, it’s all about value for him. Be chase-worthy.
So whatever you’ve got going on that you’re proud of, post it on social media where he’ll see it. Or mention it when you talk to him.
It can be as small and seemingly insignificant as getting back into running and as huge as going back to school for your master’s.
9. Make sure he knows you only want him
One of the things a woman may overlook in trying to get back with a Capricorn is how truly possessive he is.
He may not mention it or seem like it because he doesn’t come across as the jealous type.
But this man has got to have all of you, or none at all.
So be careful not to come across like you’re open to dating other men.
Don’t flirt or entertain other men’s interest in you.
Give all your attention to your Capricorn, because if there’s any chance he’s going to get back together with you, he’ll be testing you on this anyway.
