A Capricorn guy isn't afraid of how confident you are. This sign does not need to be the one chasing you. In fact, he’ll probably love to see that you take matters into your own hands. So, if you’re crushing on a dreamy Capricorn boy, don’t be afraid to let him know.[1]XResearch source
Invite him for a walk, dinner, or movie if you feel inspired.
If you think he’s looking great at a party, tell him so.
You can even come right out and say it: “Hey, I wanted to let you know that I’m into you. What do you think about that?”
Reader Poll: We asked 522 wikiHow readers who are women if they’d make the first move and ask a man out on a date, and 53% said no because they’d prefer getting asked out by a man. [Take Poll] There’s nothing wrong with asking out a guy, though—if you like him, take a chance!

Appreciate his abilities and achievements.

Capricorn guys want compliments–but only ones they can really trust. This sign hates to feel like the people around them are being fake, and they take themselves really seriously. If your compliment feels silly or over the top to him, he might not trust you. On the other hand, there’s nothing in the world a Capricorn craves more than an honest compliment. Play it safe by praising his skills, talents, or accomplishments, and he'll be totally into it.[2]XResearch source
“Wow, you’re great at commanding a room. How’d you become such a great public speaker?”
“You’ve got serious talent as a goalie. I can’t believe you stopped that last one.”
“You got an A in AP European History? I thought those were just a myth.”

Make him laugh.

Getting a Capricorn to lighten up can be tough, but he’ll love you for it. These guys have got an amazing, dry sense of humor, but sometimes people have a hard time giving it back to them.[3]XResearch source If you can find a way to meet his deadpan jokes with even funnier, more deadpan jokes, he’ll be completely hooked.[4]XResearch source
Try out some sarcasm. If he asks if you're in a bad mood, you could say, "No I actually love when I forget to bring in my homework. Really adds some excitement to my day!"
If he asks you what you like to do, try a deadpan, silly response: "My main hobbies are watching TikToks and obsessing over how much time I waste on TikTok."

Stay sophisticated when you flirt.
Download Article
No matter what, Capricorn boys want elegance and class. If you’re trying to hit on a Capricorn crush (go you!), you should definitely make sure you keep things PG and polite. Some people flirt by making fun of their crush, making themselves the center of attention to gain their crush's notice, or by getting super physical. With a Capricorn, these would all be a bit too much for him. Instead, you want to go for casual, refined flirting, like simply giving him your undivided attention during long conversation and holding deep eye contact while we speaks.[5]XResearch source
Try some simple touches throughout the night. For instance, touch his hand gently to direct his attention towards something across the room.
5
Be super gentle and sweet.

Capricorn boys are their own worst critics, so he'll love your kindness. This sign is often attracted to people that are able to be soft, understanding, and tender with the people they care about. If you can find ways to be a bright spot in your Capricorn crush’s day, it’ll mean the world to him.[6]XResearch source
If you catch him being self-critical, try offering some perspective. “Do you think you might be being a little hard on yourself?”
Celebrate his little wins with him. All of those little achievements he’d normally breeze right past, you can help him feel proud of.

Show him how independent you are.
Download Article
Capricorn guys want someone who's comfortable on their own. Even though he wants to be needed, deep down, he’s most attracted to people who are secure in themselves already. So in some ways, the best way to get his attention is just to focus on yourself! Spend time doing all of the things you love alone, work on yourself, and make sure he knows you’re thrive solo, too.[7]XResearch source
Focus on your sport, your craft, or your education.
Learn a new skill. Maybe it’s time to pick back up the violin lessons you took as a kid.

Prove that you’re ambitious.
Download Article
A Capricorn’s life is all about hitting goals, and he’ll hope that's you, too. He’s into hardworking people that take themselves seriously. Everyone has goals in life and things that they would do anything to achieve. Make sure he’s well aware of what yours are, and he’ll swoon.[8]XResearch source
If you’re working on a new painting that you’re really excited about, talk to him about it. Mention how many hours you’ve put in.
Maybe you just broke your 50 freestyle personal record in swimming. Don't be afraid to let him know. You could even explain how you stay motivated.
Or, maybe you’re working hard for someone you love. If you’ve been helping your BFF through a breakup, he’ll admire that, too.

Capricorn boys might feel like others find them unexciting. He’ll feel totally understood if you can find a way to express that you don’t see him that way at all. Of course, it’s hard to come right out and say, “You know, I actually don’t think you’re a snore!” But, you can openly appreciate him for qualities that he may worry other people think are bland.[9]XResearch source
If he’s spending hours responsibly planning his schedule, let him know that you think it’s great he’s so organized.
If he’s talking at length about his work or school life, express that you love how ambitious he is.
If he’s texting the group chat, reminding friends to bring sunscreen and be on time before a trip, thank him later for it.

Guys of this sign absolutely thrive on being needed and usually end up feeling really close to people who appreciate their help.[10]XResearch source
If you’ve got a gnarly math assignment, ask him to walk you through a problem.
You may have a home decor project on your docket. Ask him to help you hang that new frame on the wall with you.
Maybe you’re trying to make some money for a summer trip. Ask him to help you strategize ways to meet your target before you leave.

When you’re on a Capricorn boy’s arm, he’ll want you to impress. Men of this sign are all about how things look. If he’s introducing you to friends, his family, or his coworkers, he’ll definitely be hoping you present well. Or, even better, he’ll be hoping that you fluff him up a bit, too.[11]XResearch source
If he’s inviting you out somewhere, be on time, dress appropriately (if you’re unsure, err on the side of overdressed), and be polite.
When you get the chance, don’t be afraid to throw him a compliment around others. He’ll love it if you mention an award he won, for instance.

If there’s one thing a Capricorn boy really wants, it’s someone who knows what they want and is upfront about it.[13]XResearch source

Get ready to take it slow.
Download Article
Capricorn guys love commitment, but they’ll take a while to get there. If you’re feeling impatient, he shouldn’t know that. If your Capricorn crush feels like he’s being pushed too hard, it could actually sway him in the opposite direction. Instead, you should trust that usually, when a Capricorn man does finally decide what he wants something (hopefully, you!), he’s super serious about it.[14]XResearch source
If you give him time to make his decision on his own, that'll make you all the more crush-worthy to him!

How do you keep a Capricorn man interested? Stina Garbis Psychic Astrologer You need to become part of Capricorn's close circle to keep them interested. They do not socialize well outside of their few close companions. You should also know that Capricorn is not generally a “mushy” sign, and they’re more practical about the people they love. They care about life’s necessities, and they want to know that you’re prepared for emergencies.As a result, if you were to ask for help from a Capricorn, that may generate some attention from them. I would start small when asking for help, like helping with a car, or some small household “emergency.” They will automatically hope that you are okay and you’ll end up on their worry list. If they do help you and respond quickly, you’ll know they’re interested.
