Why Is A Capricorn Man So Cold And Distant? 4 Most Common Reasons

He Is Protecting His Heart

One of the reasons a Capricorn man seems so cold and somewhat calculated is due to his mistrust of most people. He’s much like the Scorpio man when it comes down to dealing with others.

This mistrust makes him constantly worry about where he’s going, and with whom, and makes him cautious. Even when he seems to be into you; he’ll remember that he doesn’t trust anyone and may pull back.

If your Capricorn man has been hurt before then this may accentuate his need to protect himself. He wants to make sure that he’s not going to have a repeat of what may have happened to him before.

Protecting himself can definitely make a Capricorn man distant or rather seem as though he’s unplugged from you. He doesn’t want to get mortally wounded if he can avoid it.

It’s normal for him to act this way so don’t be too shocked. He’s just safe guarding his life so that it doesn’t get destroyed in the blink of an eye. It may be an important step for you as well.

Consider taking your time and watching where things develop between the two of you. You don’t want to get hurt either.

Capricorn Man Is Distant Because He’s Testing You

As twisted as it may sound, Capricorn men like to weigh their options and get to know as much about you as possible. These are the types of men who may hire a private investigator or run a background check on you.

This is why you might have thought, “This Capricorn man is testing my patience.” It is like he just cannot decide what he wants, and this is very frustrating to you as it is keeping you on a string.

They want to make sure they’re not getting involved with someone who is horrible at keeping track of their finances, has too many ex-husbands, or has made a variety of errors.

He has very high standards, so he’ll be looking for someone who also has high standards to match them. This often means he’ll put you through a battery of tests to see how you respond.

One of these is by being cold toward you to see what you do. Will you wait and see what happens, or will you bolt and leave him without talking about it? He will study your behavior to see what you’re made of.

Tests are a normal thing for Capricorn men. As long as you can pass his exams with flying colors, you can win the attention, love, and loyalty of this guy. It may seem difficult, but it’s often worth it.

Capricorn Man Is Resistant To The Change

If you’ve learned anything about Capricorn men; you’ve probably read many times over that he’s a slow mover. There isn’t anything you can do to get him to move any faster either.

In fact; he’s his own man and you cannot get him to do anything he doesn’t want to do. This in itself can feel rather taxing. However; if you know he’s a good man and is worth it; you’ll go ahead and put the time in.

Ultimately he has to feel that you’re the one he’s looking for and until he does; he’ll continue to be meticulous in discovering who you are, what your intention is, and if you are someone he can rely on in the future.

Being this way dating; he’ll take even longer to marry. He will never settle for just anyone. You have to be “THE” one. If you aren’t he will drop you or he’ll stay with you just until he realizes that wishing you to be the one isn’t going to make it happen.

If he holds onto you; it’s for a reason and you should probably celebrate the fact that he is still around. He’s so incredibly picky that if he chooses you; you should feel rather special.

Always keep in mind that a Capricorn man is a slow mover in general. Being calm, patient, and open-minded will win the day with this otherwise difficult guy.

Taking your time isn’t a bad thing either honestly. Getting to know more about him will help you for the long run. Don’t rush into anything. There is no real need to speed things up.

Let nature take its course and you’ll find a much happier relationship with your Capricorn man.

Capricorn Man Doesn’t Like Sharing His Feelings

The other thing to remember about Capricorn men is that they do not like discussing their feelings. It’s a healthy thing to do, but he isn’t into letting anyone know his innermost thoughts.

That being said, if he’s having reservations about you or the relationship, he may hold off on saying anything as he’s still processing it. He figures it’s better for him to pull back than to say something he may later regret.

He knows he’s picky, and he knows that sometimes his standards are unfair. This is why he may go cold. He’s trying to figure out what he wants and if the two of you really have a possible future together.

The other thing is that he may decide he needs some solitude that he hasn’t been getting while giving you so much attention. This makes you feel like he’s dropped off the face of the planet.

He really should be more open in telling you he needs some time and space here and there, but instead, he just goes ahead and takes it, thus leaving you confused and possibly a bit hurt.

His intention is never to hurt you. He just doesn’t know the right way to tell you that he needs time to himself. When he doesn’t text back, doesn’t call back, or takes time apart, try not to take it personally.

This is where patience has to play a huge factor in your relationship with a Capricorn man. He will talk to you when he’s ready; otherwise, you cannot ever try to push him, or he will withdraw.

Capricorn Man Suddenly Distant — Why Is He Acting Distant All Of A Sudden?

One thing that you really need to consider is the fact that your Capricorn man is distant because of his own insecurities. He may feel like if he falls in love then everything he knows and worked for is going to change. 

He is actually quite a shy and introverted kind of guy, so dealing with the change of having someone significant in his life can be quite a shock to his system. And this is why he has become insecure and is pulling away. 

Everything he knows is being threatened by the love you have for him. He probably knows what it is like having his heart broken and being hurt by a woman so he will do whatever he can to prevent himself from this kind of pain again. 

Trust can be very difficult for Capricorn men to establish and they just expect that most people aren’t to be trusted. So it really isn’t about anything you have done, it is just his fears are coming to light and really freaking him out. 

What To Do When A Capricorn Man Is Being Cold And Distant

When a Capricorn man goes cold and distant all you probably want to do is fix the situation in any way that you can. However, if you take too much action then it might be the wrong approach as well and this could really freak him out.

Here is what you can do when a Capricorn man becomes distant:

Give Him Space

If your Capricorn man has pulled away then the best thing you can do is to give him space. He is pulling away from a reason, so give him what he clearly needs and that is some space from you and the relationship. 

By respecting what he wants you are showing him that you are mature and that you are happy to listen to his wishes. But giving him space is really important because this is a man who processes his emotions by being alone. 

He won’t be able to get to the other side if you keep asking him how he is or what you can do to help him. Just let him be so that he can come back to you in better spirits. 

Clear Communication

After you have given your Capricorn some time to process his emotions and to become clear about what he is feeling it is quite important that the two of you have a conversation about what has happened. 

It is important that you are both honest and direct with each other and it is important that you let him know how it made you feel when he just disappeared like that. Don’t blame him for anything, just make him understand how you feel. 

Being clear and direct will always carry favour with your Capricorn man. You don’t have to beat around the bush with him. Honesty is the best policy with your Capricorn man, even when he goes distant.

Patience Is Key

Capricorn men aren’t quick to make changes in their life, when they are comfortable with how things are going, they will tend to stick to this. Having a Capricorn man in your life means that you need to learn to be patient. 

It might take a while for him to come around and recognize how he is feeling. Emotions are really a big struggle for him so whenever he feels pressure, he tends to freak out and run away. This is why you need to be chill and relaxed about everything. 

I know it sucks having to wait, but if you’re patient then it will pay off. Show your Capricorn man that you are understanding and that you are willing to wait. Your patience and determination will show him that you are a good partner to have around. 

Should You Give A Capricorn Man Space When He Is Distancing Himself?

Absolutely, the last thing you want to do is crowd your Capricorn man and make him feel like you are putting pressure on him. This is the last thing he wants. Give him as much space as he needs to figure things out for himself. 

My Capricorn Man Says He Likes Me But Is Distant… Is He Using Me?

Not necessarily, Capricorn men aren’t the type of guys to really use women. Sometimes they go distant for reasons that are totally unconscious to them. For the most part, they just want to be in control and when the feelings start coming up, it can make them feel out of control. 

This is when a Capricorn man will go distant. It is not that he is using you, it is that he is confused and is trying to make sense of the way he is feeling. I know this is difficult to understand, but men just operate differently when it comes to intimacy. 

It can really freak them out, especially men like the Capricorn men who like to be the boss and in charge of their life and their emotions. For them avoiding and running away from what they feel is a lot easier than becoming vulnerable and opening their heart to a woman.

Is Your Capricorn Man Distant After Intimacy?

Does your Capricorn man pull away or get quiet when you’ve just had a deep emotional connection? Does he seem to disappear just when you thought he was getting closer? Have you felt confused by his hot and cold behavior?

If so, then he might have an avoidant attachment style.

He could be Dismissive Avoidant and completely terrified of commitment… Or he could be Fearful Avoidant, and REALLY want commitment, but get scared when he feels himself getting closer to you.

If he has either one of these attachment styles, you’re going to end up feeling extremely confused at times. And both are caused by childhood trauma.

When you can see the scared little boy inside him that had to shut down his feelings if he’s a dismissive avoidant… Or have a parent not provide his needs consistently if he’s a fearful avoidant…

It can make it easier to have empathy and compassion for his confusing and frustrating behavior.

But that won’t fix it.

And while advice on attachment styles can be helpful…

What you really need to stop this frustrating hot and cold cycle is to understand him better.

Thankfully, there is a simple system to TRULY understand how he ticks based on his astrology <<
