Capricorns are pretty serious and tend to have a really dry sense of humor. Watch episodes of “The Office” (the British version) for inspiration. He’s also going to enjoy a witty pun—not the “dad joke” kind of pun, the kind that would go over most people’s heads. “There’s a new theory on inertia, but it doesn’t seem to be gaining momentum. "
Start with something small, like a sound your car is making or a computer glitch you can’t figure out. You’ll make him feel needed without sacrificing any of your own power. Resist the temptation to pretend you need help with something you already know how to do—Capricorns value honesty, and he’ll feel taken advantage of if he finds out about your ruse.
While Capricorn and Leo are both ambitious signs, you view your ambitions very differently. As a luxurious Lioness, you tend to see work as a means to an end—hard work equals success and all its trappings. For your Goat guy, on the other hand, hard work is an end in and of itself.
Cozy up to the people who are close to him as well. He cares about them and trusts them—if they like you, he’ll be more likely to like you as well.
For example, if he takes you out to a restaurant, you might say, “Oh wow, I’m so impressed that you got us a table here—I heard they were booked for months!” Just make sure what you say is genuine—empty flattery is a big turn-off for him and he can smell it a mile away.
For example, you might tell him about the time you found a wallet on the ground and tracked down its owner so you could return it, cash and all. Anecdotes are great, but how you behave around him will really seal the deal. Show yourself as a woman of integrity who stands up for what you believe in and he’ll want to keep you close.
If you’re talking and he says that he was thinking about staying at home, let him know that you’ll see him tomorrow—don’t take it as an invitation to come over and hang out with him. While you love being the life of the party, he won’t necessarily want to accompany you every time you go out. If you sense that he needs some time to himself, don’t pressure him! Just go out with friends and have a great time on your own.
Be honest if he does ask you about the cost of something—he’ll be more upset if he finds out you lied. He does appreciate quality, so it can help to frame it as an investment purchase. If you get serious, maintaining separate finances is essential for this relationship to work. Money is already one of the main things couples argue about and your opposing spending habits can lead to conflict.
If you’re out with friends, you might check in on him periodically to show that he’s still on your mind. Maybe send him a text that says, “Can’t stop thinking about you! Just thought I’d say hi 😉” Capricorn guys tend to keep a tight lid on their emotions, which can be frustrating for an emotion-led Leo. But if he knows where he stands, he’ll trust you enough to open up to you.
For example, you might put him in charge of choosing the restaurants for dates if you’re allowed to be in charge of other dating activities, such as which movie to see or what activity to do. After you’ve made your agreement, make sure you stick to it! Nothing will turn him cold faster than you going back on something you said.
For example, if you give him advice that he doesn’t follow and he ends up being right, keep your “I told you so” to yourself. This shows that you respect him enough to make his own decisions and are too loyal to rub it in when you’re right and he’s wrong. Being faithful also means refraining from gossip—especially about him. Even if a nasty rumor never gets back to him, you don’t want to get the reputation as someone who talks bad about him behind his back.
