Have you ever wondered how to get a Capricorn man to open up or how to emotionally connect with a Capricorn man? Does he struggle to speak openly about his feelings? Does he jump straight to fighting instead of being calmly open with you?
Well, dating a Capricorn man is full of risks and rewards. These complicated men have a lot on their plate, so the last thing they are worried about is emotions, least of all their own. He’s too focused on his ambitions to get sidetracked by his feelings.
This behavior might work for himself, but when you’re dating him, it can feel like going against a brick wall. Most of us need some kind of vulnerability and emotional connection with our man. I mean, if that isn’t there then what would be the point.
Capricorn men are tough nuts to crack, but I’ve noted some techniques that seem to soften them up so that they let you into their world. Here’s how to get a Capricorn man to open up…
Do Capricorn Men Open Up Easily?
Capricorn men are independent, and opening up emotionally is never easy for them. He wants people to see him as confident and self-assured, so he may keep his distance, but once his confidence is won, he will have no problem showing his feelings.
It’s not that your Capricorn guy doesn’t have emotions, it’s just that he’s really good at putting them aside and detaching in order to get his work done. He has too much on his plate to get distracted by what he feels.
This can feel really frustrating to you, because all you want is to feel closer to him and see a side of him that not many people do. So, if you’re wondering how to break down a Capricorn man’s emotional walls and get him to open up, you may want to continue reading…
How To Get A Capricorn Man To Open Up
1. Be A Calming Presence In His Chaotic Life
Your Capricorn guy has been through a lot, so there isn’t much that gets him down or stresses him out. For the most part, he is as calm as a cucumber. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel the effects of all his hard work and responsibilities.
The last thing he needs is a nagging and needy woman pestering him for his attention and pushing him to open up and share things about himself he just isn’t ready to do. He just wants peace away from the chaos of his work.
If you want your Capricorn to open up to you and see how valuable you are in his life, the best thing is to be understanding and calm. Take some of the stress he feels at work and take it away by being super helpful and supportive at home.
Make sure to be accommodating and positive when you’re around him. Ask if there are things you can do for him to make his load feel a little lighter. Even doing simple tasks at home, are going to mean more to him than you could ever realize.

2. Be Patient And Go At His Pace
A Capricorn man takes his time to open up to a woman because he takes his relationships extremely seriously. He’s not the type of guy who is interested in a casual type of fling. When a Capricorn man commits, it’s for keeps.
There are a couple of reasons for this:
First, he fears being hurt and feeling disappointed. He may have opened his heart to someone a long time ago, and because it was a negative experience, he may feel apprehensive about taking the same chance once again.
Second, he’s very picky about who he chooses to spend his time with. He prefers quality over quantity in the women he dates. That’s why he prefers to take things slow and steady. He wants to get to know you really well before committing to you.

3. Show Him How Loyal And Dependable You Are
A Capricorn man doesn’t like playing silly dating games. He’s super loyal and expects the same from the woman he is with. He’s been burned a few times in his life by women who weren’t as committed as he was.
He might put you through a series of tests to see if you’re a dependable person and someone he can trust. He doesn’t want to waste his time with someone he feels might disappoint him in the long run, so let him do his “tests” and let your actions do all the talking.
You have nothing to worry about, this is just his insecurities talking. Just be your wonderful normal self, and sooner or later he’ll come to see that you’re definitely someone he can rely on, and he’ll slowly start opening up his heart to you.
4. Be Hardworking & Ambitious
It has been said again and again, but Capricorn men sure love reaching all their goals and ambitions. There is a lot they are capable of, and they want to do every single thing on their list of hopes and dreams.
Achievement is an important part of who they are and how they define themselves. This is why it is so imperative for them to spend time with people who are just as ambitious as them. You know that saying, “You are who you spend your time with?” Well, a Capricorn man takes that to heart, especially with the woman he is dating.
He’s more likely to open up to you and be more emotionally available if you are ambitious and hardworking yourself. He’s most attracted to women who are going places and want to achieve big things in their lives.

5. Be Supportive With His Aspirations
When I say Capricorn men have big aspirations, it really means that they are huge! It’s more than likely that he actually wants to change the world with his plans. For most people, these dreams can seem a little out of reach
But for your Capricorn guy, the big dreams he shares with you are only at the tip of the iceberg. He’s extremely practical, so he knows that one way or another he’s definitely going to get where he wants to be, no matter the sacrifices he has to make.
And there are a lot of sacrifices he feels he has to make in order to get where he wants to be in his career. The best thing for you to do is to be a source of support and understanding of his goals.
He’s likely been met with a lot of restrictions and setbacks in his life, so he’s way more used to people trying to bring him down instead of lift him up. And this can make him feel quite skeptical about trusting someone enough to open up.

We are both starving for attention, affection, and connection. It was crazy how we connected so quickly that we were both shocked. I believe he opened up to me quickly because we are going through the same things. He later ran from me. It was three months before he showed up again. I made sure to act like he never disappeared. He then opened up a little more about what he was going through. I started off and continued to be consistent with him that I wanted to be his friend. A true friend, and I deeply care about him and what will make him happiest, even if that isn’t with me. I told him the truth. I don’t have many friends, and there are not a lot of people I know that I truly only wish for their happiness. I have chosen to truly express my feelings and struggle with the self-induced fear of him leaving. I get through the fear by recognizing he is a free human. I get through my anxiety by reading your materials on Cap men and appreciate being able to access and read them. Thank you.
I’m greatful for you guidance which I followed all the time. He opened up to me about how supportive I’ve been and that ever since I came into his live he feels safe and trusting. I was patient and followed his lead by giving him all the time and attention he needs. Thanks Anna
