How to get a Capricorn man to be more responsive to a Virgo woman
June 25, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
What kind of responsiveness does a Virgo woman want from any man? She’d want her guy to both notice the effort she puts into making the home organized and clean, and to help out in the maintenance of that level of orderliness. On a more personal level — despite her modesty — she may want to be valued for the attention she gives to her appearance, as well as the behind-the-scenes work she does to make everything run smoothly.
A Capricorn man is not likely to “tune out” at home like a Pisces, but he may — after a long day at work — sit on the couch and read the Wall Street Journal instead of attend to dust bunnies. He wants order like Virgo, but on a higher level – the structure of organizations, rather than the structure of the shoe closet.
In his quest to increase his status in the world, he may not be so concerned with the details of mundane life, except to the extent that they help facilitate his ascent. He will, however, take pride in providing security to his partner, and as a Virgo woman can sometimes be a little O.C. (that’s obsessive-compulsive, not Orange County), his Capricornian consistency can help reduce her worries.
How to get the Capricorn man to be more responsive: Suggest he host a business-related cocktail mixer at your home. It would have to be on a weekend, so that he can help participate in the preparation: helping you clean, giving you feedback on your attire — he will, after all, be invested in having everything “look good.” In addition, he won’t be able to take for granted the work that goes into such a production.

this is interesting…I am a cap woman who is interested in a virgo man. I like him and I think he is interested in me but we have a business relationship.[that alone is a strike against him] Should i let him know i adore the way he thinks,tell him I’m interested or just forget about him…
I am a Virgo woman who dated a Virgo man for 11 years. Virgo men are ok, emotional, strong minded, very sensative, but great in bed. I think that some Virgo men take alot of words personal at times when you are simply trying to get them to understand how you feel. It became difficult for me to tend to a Virgo man when we both had the same needs and became selfish with oneantoher because these needs were not being met. I am now dating a Capricorn male who is very different from the Virgo man and I love it.
I agree with the post on this site. I am a virgo with a capricorn mother, and I have dated and work with Caps. Let me tell you what I have experienced…
They are very good savvy business people, managers (organizers), generous and protective of those they love. Most of the time they will not tell you all that they do to protect you (it can get pretty extreme) and even hide it from you so that you do not worry. They want you to think well of them and appreciate them. They only think about you and your well being and want to make sure you are safe and comortable.
They walk and stand straight and give the appearance that they aren’t anyone to contend with. Most of the time they have a lot of self-control and dignity. They take their jobs seriously and do not tolerate foolishness. They graciously accept praise. If you’re the type to listen to advice and are humble, they are the best friends, because they will tell you like it is. They are street-smart and you can rely on what they say in their profession.
Extremely sensitive and empathetic when you talk about your problems. Don’t miss any details… they will not think less of you when you make a mistake, but it is important to tell them 100% truth and all the detail so they can make the right decisions. They can go overboard on the “mother bear” because they love/like you, so you have to explain sometimes what you say or what was done to you is really nothing if it is truely what they are.
They are very courageous and likewise they’ll let you know they are sorry if they are convinced they did something wrong. They try not to hurt you and make you feel like you are “all right”, but eventually they let you know what you need to change in a diplomatic way. They like to tell secrets to you and others, and it is ALWAYS with the best intensions. The Caps I know are afraid to lose relationships and getting hurt like many signs. Be matter of fact and also gentle with capricorns. Approach them with respect. Under the normally cool demeanor, there is also a very tough side that you do not want to stir. They are self-respecting and like to go to parties with socialites, but as adults they are really young at heart and you cannot keep them down. They enjoy the younger crowd, know the trends, and have a slap-stick and sarcastic sense of humor. All around great people are Caps, but so are the remaining 11 signs!
They are adorable, but they make you wait until they are ready.
I am virgo woman and the man I am interested in is capricorn, I met him about 2 months ago, it was only eyes contact and we had such a click, so I took the first step and talked to him and exchanged emails of work, but the problem is that I always feel I am the one taking the first step, and I can see that he likes getting attention, but I don´t know if I should step back to give him some space, or do I keep emailing him even if he doesn´t reply??? I don´t know how to make him interested in taking some steps, I already invited him for lunch at work and he said that he is so busy now to go out for lunch without suggesting another time, do I just step back now and wait for him??? I was thinking about sending him tickets for theater to go out for friends as he likes that and I don´t want to push myself there, do I do it??? tell me how to handle a Capricorn man and makes him intersetd…
I’m a Cap man and we like to be pursued, but I reccommend backing off a bit..don’t call or anything…and make him call you or set up plans…it’ll come to him that he wants to hand out with you. If not, then the call will never come in. And then you won’t have to guess if he’s interested anymore. Caps think very black and white.
I am a virgo woman, and I have a cappi boyfriend. He is difficult sometimes. He ignored me at first…developing a friendship is important because it takes a while for a cap to open up, and accept your presence. If you know that there is something special possible…ask him about work…don’t be overly loving, or desperate seeming…just let him know that you really want to get to know him…and see what happens. It took me 7 years…I was young and patient. I knew that I wanted him, and I just don’t disappear… I understand that work, and family come first…
I have been dating my Cap man for 2 years. For the first 6 months I was continually asking myself – “Why does he keep calling me? I can’t even tell if he likes me!” Turns out, he was “into” me, but it took almost a year before he really began to open up and be himself around me. I have found that most Capricorn men are like this – very guarded, career driven, focused, realistic and logical. They are the ones to catch you in a lie within 30 seconds – so you might as well not even bother.
Many other comments above are correct – give them space, time and they can eventually become the best friends you could ever ask for. They do tell it like it is, and they are afraid of losing something special, especially if it is something they worked very hard to attain (and that may be you!).
Love them, nurture them, and show them they are the only man for you – and they’ll be sure to let you now that you’re the only girl for them!
OMG! This is too crazy to read. I am going through the same exact thing with my Cap. All this time I just thought that I was crazy that I fell for a guy like this. And that I am really playing the fool this time. Its like he is a drug to me and I am definately addicted. I have been on and off with him for about eight months or so now. When we are together it seems like magic. Everything is just so perfect. We are very affectionate and seem like hubby and wife. We will chat about each others day and life for one or two days after then he goes into his dry spell. No call. No nothing. I go crazy. But of course being the Virgo woman that i am, I dont show him that i dont keep my cool. I would send him texts everytime I think about him here and there (youre the one, hey sexy, etc.) and eventually he will respond like we talked everyday since lol. I just thought for a moment that he had someone else on his mind but he always make it clear that Im the one for him. And I would think he was full of BS! But didnt care anyways because he is just so dreamy. Well now it all makes sense. He actually tells me what he goes through on a daily basis of life with work and his two children and I just think I wasnt listening. Sometimes us Virgos get caught up in our own emotions, ya know. Now that Im realizing that he is really telling the truth reading these stories I will definately stick with him. He is the one. Even though he doesnt give me everything that i want (I was spoiled growing up) i still respect his person and what he is trying to do for hisself and his family so Im going to go ahead and keep giving him his chances.
i too have met and fallen for a cap guy, im a virgo….we met and sadly had sex on the same night….which was great, save for all the humiliating things, and the ordering around…but he’s really passionate and we just hit it off, like we’d known each other so long. Then he went quiet for like 3 weeks, i tried calling and he was cold on the phone. i felt stupid and didnt push it…later he finally called and wanted us to go for a night out, and he finally cancelled that last minute because of a family dinner, and didne call again like 3 more weeks. when he finally callled, i ignored his calls and upon this he persisted even more till he got me, and said how he likes me alot and i should give us a chance, i still think he has someone else though….we just went for a weekend away, which was super coz we connected soo good, am now waiting to see if he’ll call again…..and more important when…
I need help please. I am a virgo woman and I met a capri man. He calls me everyday if I don’t call him and he shows genuine interest in me. We hang out practically eveyday but at times it seems like he prefers his family over me. We are intimate but he won’t commit his excuse was dat he is trying to sort his car out first before any relationship. I want him to commit to me now, any suggestions?
