You’ve fallen hard for a Capricorn, but how do you capture his heart? Capricorns are known for being hardworking, ambitious, and successful, so it’s no surprise they make great partners. Drawing the eye of a Capricorn man means appealing to his practical, goal-oriented mindset. When it comes to the dependable Caps, slow and steady wins the race. Luckily, we’ve compiled all the best ways to make a Capricorn man obsessed with you.

1

Dress for success.

  1. Capricorns are typically drawn to people who invest in their appearance. You don’t have to wear expensive clothes or follow fashion trends. Instead, focus on looking put-together. Choose clothes that are clean and wrinkle-free, and pick outfits that make you feel confident.[1]
    • Since Capricorns are earth signs, they’re more drawn to down-to-earth looks rather than flashy clothes.
    • For instance, you might wear a classic pair of dark jeans with a striped tee for a dressed-down look. If you’re going out, you might go with dress slacks and a nice button down or a sleek dress. Choose subtle accessories or go with one statement piece.

Show off your intelligence.

Entertain him with a dry sense of humor.

  1. Although Capricorns are serious, they also enjoy a good laugh. If you’re a naturally witty person, let the jokes fly.[3] If not, don’t worry—we’ve got you! Start by learning a few jokes you can sprinkle into conversation. Additionally, practice telling stories about your life in a humorous way. Once you’re in a conversation with your guy, try calling-back to something said earlier in the conversation to make him laugh.[4]
    • Use jokes like, "What do you call an illegally parked frog? Toad!" or "Why are elevator jokes amazing? They work on different levels!" When all else fails, just laugh at yourself!
    • When it comes to life stories, talk about minor mistakes that you laugh about now. You might share the time you slipped on the way to accept an award or when you spilled food all over yourself on a first date.
    • Here’s how you do a call-back. Let’s say you and your guy are ordering tacos, and you accidentally say “fork” instead of “pork.” When you’re chatting over your meal, you might say something like, “I never knew fork tacos were so good!”

Support his goals, interests, and decisions.

Be hardworking and goal-oriented.

  1. Capricorns strive for success—and they expect you to do the same. Go after the life you want![7] Identify a goal that’s really important to you, then break it down into a practical to-do list. Next, start working on step one. Share your goals and progress with your man so he sees your ambition.[8]
    • For example, you might decide to learn a new language. Your to-do list might include downloading a language app, committing to daily lessons, conversing with native speakers, and reading a book in your new language. You could start today by picking a language app.
    • Similarly, you might have a goal to turn your painting hobby into a side business. Your to-do list might be getting prints of your paintings, setting up an online store, and advertising your work. You could start today by choosing the paintings you think will sell well.

Live an independent lifestyle—just like him.

  1. Capricorns need their independence so they can achieve their goals. But that doesn’t mean you have to sit around waiting for your guy! Instead, build your independence by spending time alone and going after what you want. Schedule time to work on your goals, take classes to learn new skills, and spend time with your friends. He’ll be impressed by what a strong, independent person you are.[9]
    • Be open with him about needing time to do you. Say something like, “I’m really focused on reaching my goals, and I’m sure you are, too. I think it’s important that we both have time to do what makes us happy.”

Leave the drama behind.

  1. Since Capricorns are so serious, they don’t get mixed up in drama. Your guy won’t be impressed by gossip or messy relationships. Don't share rumors or talk badly about your friends or coworkers. Additionally, consider spending less time with friends who like to behave immaturely.[14]
    • Gossiping can be super hard to stop. Instead, focus on talking about positive topics, like your interests or pop culture.
    • If you find yourself gossiping about someone, switch gears by saying something nice about them. As an example, let's say you were talking about how your friend Tara keeps quitting her jobs. You could switch up and say, “Tara is so smart! I hope she finds success soon.”

Talk to him about family.

Take the time to get to know him and be his friend.

  1. Capricorns don’t like to rush things. Don’t expect a quick commitment from your guy. Instead, enjoy getting to know him.[16] Have long talks, maintain a text conversation, and invite him on dates or group hangs. Hopefully, he’ll extend an invitation back to you. Once you get to know him, it’ll be easier to win his heart.[17]
    • Try inviting him to a group hangout if you’re just getting to know each other. For instance, plan a game night or invite several friends to go play mini golf.
    • If you’ve been talking for a while, ask if he wants to chat over coffee or dinner. Capricorns typically enjoy conversation.
    • Be an active listener when you’re having a conversation. Later, bring up things he said to show him that you listen and care about getting to know him. You could say, “Last time we saw each other you were working on a big project. How did that go?”

Organize your life so you appear stable and secure.

  1. Capricorns value stability, so they appreciate organization. No one’s expecting you to have everything in your life totally together. However, your guy will be impressed if you keep yourself organized.[18] Use a planner or calendar to help you track your responsibilities, and keep your home and personal belongings as tidy as possible. Additionally, create a budget to help you manage your finances.[19]
    • If you’re not naturally organized, don’t stress yourself out trying to pretend you are. Instead, take small steps to be more organized, like writing things in a planner and cleaning out your bag. Your initiative will be very impressive!

Warnings

  • If you lie or are disloyal, a Capricorn will lose interest in you right away. It’s very difficult to win back their trust once you’ve lost it.[23]
