How to Make a Capricorn Man Chase You
1. Be attentive
Capricorn men will absolutely not pursue a woman who isn’t showing a certain amount of interest back.
Extremely practical, they know there are other fish in the sea.
You’ll need to show your Capricorn man unique attention, which is what he wants—to feel desired and important.
Listen carefully when he talks. Put your phone away and don’t let him think you’re bored by what he likes.
And definitely, avoid ignoring him hoping to get a reaction! You won’t.
Sustain eye contact, and make him feel like the most interesting person to you.
Yes, it’s even OK to seek him out at a party or an after-work drink with coworkers and chat him up.
Demonstrate that you enjoy his company, really, truly and genuinely.

2. …But never appear needy
With Capricorn men, things can be a little tricky.
Whereas they need to feel important to you, they don’t stand for any sign of neediness whatsoever.
So at the same time, you’ll have to remain your own person with your own life.
Don’t put yourself in a situation where a Capricorn man senses that you’re waiting around for him to show you just a little bit of attention.
He may keep you on the back burner because he knows he’s got you whenever he wants.
Or, he could figure that you’re not the ambitious go-getter that he’s looking for—you just have too much time on your hands—and cut ties.
Clinginess automatically raises the emotional stakes, a Capricorn man thinks.
And he’s just not ready to invest that kind of time and energy into someone before he even knows them and has decided they’re worth it.
3. Keep him entertained
For the controlled Capricorn man to chase you, you can’t just be intriguing.
You have to be utterly irresistible to him.
How can you do this? By giving him a one-two punch of epic entertainment and mental stimulation.
Capricorns have two major, seemingly conflicting needs: to be intellectually stimulated, and to completely turn off and just have a good time.
You need the two components together to knock his socks off.
Example: Invite him for drinks at an intimate bar and talk literature, science or whatever he’s into.
Then take him to see some live music at a hopping venue where his senses will be immersed in the music, the crowd and the ambiance.
As he’s an earth sign, he needs that connection to his senses.
But if you can be both fun and mentally engaging for him, that’s the real recipe for a smitten Cap.
4. Highlight your goals and ambition
Are you the ambitious type?
Are you a career climber, a go-getter or someone seeking to improve her status in the world?
If so, you might find plenty of Capricorn men calling you for a date.
Ambition is in the Capricorn’s blood. In a woman, he finds it extremely sexy.
So be sure to share the details of your goals. Particularly those that will help you attain some type of worldly success.
Advancing in your career is an especially good goal to a Capricorn.
But it doesn’t have to be all about getting a promotion.
Are you writing a book? Learning a new language to travel? Working on being financially independent?
Share it with the Capricorn if you want to really impress him and make him want more of your time.
5. Be humble
Capricorn guys are low-key, and they like their women that way, too.
Whereas you want to show a Capricorn man your best attributes and achievements, if you cross over into bragging territory, you’ll appear too self-involved.
Earth signs like Capricorns tend to laugh at displays of vanity and may even call you out on it.
The key is to put things in a way that demonstrates self-pride without coming across as conceited.
He’ll respect the heck out of you for being so down-to-earth.
And winning his respect is half the battle.

6. Don’t make him compete with other guys
A Capricorn man is picky about the women he chooses and takes his sweet time doing anything about it.
However, the thing about him is that he’s possessive.
He has to be the only guy you’re interested in, or he’ll move on immediately.
If you’re going on dates with someone else, he might take it as disloyalty or simply confirmation that you’re not for him.
It can put you in a tough situation if you’re looking for something casual or you have multiple dating interests at the same time.
Still, if you’ve decided that you want the Capricorn most, don’t take the risk, or you might never hear from him again.
7. Make him wait
Capricorn is not the man you want to be too hasty with when it comes to getting intimate, both emotionally and physically.
Being sweet, kind and open with him is good. But you want to reserve a little mystery for yourself.
Capricorn men expect to court you and show that they’re worthy mates.
Would a Capricorn guy also fall into bed with you on the first date? Yes.
The other side of the coin with the uber controlled Capricorn man is that he can easily fall prey to his lust and desires.
But when his rational mind kicks in after, he’ll question it and pull back.
Instead, entice him to chase you by making it clear you’re worth the wait.
He should feel that you’re assessing him, too, not just the other way around. This will make you appear more valuable a prize.
8. Let him pursue you
You may think you’ve chosen the Capricorn man, but in his mind, he’s chosen you.
Therefore, he’s the one to call you, ask for a date and chase you.
Once a Cap has decided it’s you he wants, he will pull out all the stops to get you.
He can go from barely acknowledging your presence to sending you gifts and flowers and taking you out on some memorable dates in an attempt to win you over.
But if you try to make a move with him first, chances are he’ll feel pressured.
He won’t be sure. And a Capricorn needs to feel sure.
Better to flirt innocently and sweetly and wait for him to make that move, at which point he’ll feel confident and want to claim you as his.

How do you win a Capricorn man’s heart?
As strong and ambitious as he likes his women, a Capricorn man will only give his heart to one who is soft at heart, gentle and kind.
He falls for a nurturing type of woman.

What is a Capricorn man’s weakness?
