10 Tips for When a Capricorn Man is Ignoring You

If a Capricorn man is suddenly distant, it can be a normal part of his pattern in relationships. Capricorn men start to detach when they start to feel emotionally connected to a woman.

He may continue this dance of taking two steps forward and one step back for some time. A Capricorn man who does this isn’t trying to end the relationship, necessarily. How you respond can be critical.

If you know how to respond to his sudden distance without overwhelming him or appearing too pushy, he’ll eventually come around. Knowing what to do when he ignores you is key.

1. Keep Busy

How does a Capricorn man test a woman? In short, he usually doesn’t. He may act like he’s playing mind games, but Capricorn men have no interest in doing this.

They are too busy to set up elaborate deceptions. When he ignores you, the best thing to do is to keep busy.

If you keep yourself otherwise occupied and spend the time he’s quiet investing energy in your career, business or financial management, a Capricorn man will feel the pressure is off. He will most likely come around eventually.

A Capricorn man who sees that you are just as busy and ambitious as he is will come to admire you more. He will feel a greater attraction to you because of his love of women who are successful and hard working.

Is your Capricorn man painfully distant? Rekindle your love.

2. Send a Brief Reminder

A Capricorn man not responding to texts can be unintentionally ignoring you. As the workaholic sign of the zodiac, a Capricorn man can become so engrossed in his work that he actually forgets to stay in touch.

This may sound like an excuse, but Capricorn men can truly overlook the importance of frequent texting when they are busy.

If he’s been ignoring you, send him a brief text just to check in. This serves as a reminder that you are thinking of him.

Don’t use this text as a time to project your frustrations about his sudden distance. This will only make him shut down further.

Instead, use this text to give him a jump start and remind him that you are thinking of him. If he replies, keep your communication short at first. If he doesn’t reply, let it go and don’t keep texting him repeatedly.

When a Capricorn man is done with you, you’ll know it. He will set clear boundaries.

If he doesn’t get in touch with you and ignores your communication efforts, it is likely a sign he’s moving on. If this is the case, it’s best not to continually contact him.

3. Ask Advice

If you want to know how to get a Capricorn man to chase you, the best thing to do is ask advice. This makes him feel important and gives him a practical reason to engage with you. Checking in with him is good, but it doesn’t compel him to respond.

If you ask him a question or seek his advice, your question necessitates a respond. He’ll be eager to respond to you because he loves to be helpful.

Capricorn men are also work-oriented. When you give him a task, he’s likely to respond on instinct and follow through.

A question or request for advice works in this way as well. If he’s been ignoring you and you ask him for advice, he will feel responsible for replying and guiding you in the best way he can. This will encourage him to break his silence.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Capricorn man.

4. Offer Suggestions

In addition to asking for his advice and opinions, if you wait a few days and send a Capricorn man a brief text offering advice, this can also encourage him to respond. This strategy must be used with caution.

If you have had a falling out with your Capricorn man, offering suggestions may come across to him as intrusive or micromanaging.

Yet if you’re on friendly terms and he’s just been busy, it doesn’t hurt to send a quick message with a recommendation for something useful that you think may be helpful to him.

Perhaps you’ve found a new app that helps to address an issue you know he’s had in the very recent past.

If you send him suggestions that can help him to solve a problem, a Capricorn man will usually appreciate it. He may feel compelled to respond at the very least to acknowledge your helpful advice.

5. Send Breaking News

Understanding why a Capricorn man is suddenly distant is important to determining how you should respond. A Capricorn man distancing himself may just be busy. On the other hand, he may be stepping back because he feels overwhelmed by emotion in the relationship.

If you send him a text with a link to important breaking news, especially news that has an impact on his career prospects, finances or industry, you’ll get his attention.

He’ll appreciate the heads up. He may be more inclined to respond as soon as possible.

A Capricorn man is usually interested in current events. He’s particularly interested in how breaking news can impact him or his family in specific ways.

He will want to be kept in the loop when it comes to financial and economic news. If he hears important breaking news from you first, he’ll be impressed. He’ll also realize you’re looking out for him.

6. Support His Business

Chances are good your Capricorn love interest has his own business. If he doesn’t, he’s likely to have interests in businesses or shared business partnerships. When he’s been out of contact with you or slow to respond, show support for his business.

Patronize his store, help him market his services by sharing his announcements and business related posts on social media.

When a Capricorn man sees that you are helping to promote his business, he will see you as supporting him personally.

If he doesn’t have his own business, a Capricorn man still has a career that he takes very seriously.

If you reach out to him to share information that could help him to have an advantage in his career, he will appreciate it and will be more likely to respond promptly.

7. Give Him Space

A Capricorn man’s texting habits can be baffling to others. Unlike many people, a Capricorn man will not text as a standard means of expressing his ideas. His preference for texting is because this means of communication is brief, direct and efficient.

Yet he usually reserves it for communication that is high priority. Figuring out plans for a dinner date may be text-worthy to a Capricorn man.

Making small talk and expressing deep feelings are not part of what a Capricorn man does through text.

He prefers to have his space when he’s busy or at work. So if you text him when he’s otherwise occupied with important matters, he won’t respond right away. Give him space. Don’t try to get a response from him. He is not one to interrupt work to check his phone.

8. Be Patient

Does ignoring a Capricorn man work? It often can. Usually he just needs time to miss you and space to cool off if you’ve had a falling out. The catch is, it can take a long time. Capricorn men are notorious for being slow moving.

Be patient with a Capricorn man. If you expect him to respond in a few days, give him a few weeks instead. Whatever you think is a standard time for an average person, add a few extra days and you’ll be on Capricorn time.

Capricorn men are patient which is crucial because they are also slow moving.

If you want to maintain communication with a Capricorn man, you’ve got to be as patient as he is. There is no use trying to rush a Capricorn man. This will only backfire.

9. Focus on Career

One way to get a Capricorn man to respond to you is to talk shop. Capricorn men are obsessed with career success and ambition.

Even if he loves you, he is married to his job first and foremost. If you focus on his career, he’ll be more likely to react to you favorably.

A Capricorn man disappearing act is common and shouldn’t be cause for alarm at first. Remain calm and focus on ways to support his career ambition. This will help him to feel grounded and supported.

In addition, focus on your own career. When you post on social media about your new promotion, new projects or other milestones in your career, you’ll get a Capricorn man’s attention. He’ll be eager to respond to you.

10. Expand Your Network

If your Capricorn man isn’t responding, shift your focus away and instead work on expanding your social contacts and network. Don’t do this to make him jealous. Instead, use this strategy to enhance your chances of career success.

Attend business networking meetings, fundraisers and events. Get to know influential people who can help enhance your career and personal goals. This will help a Capricorn man to find the motivation and time to get in touch with you.

Though it may seem superficial, a Capricorn man will be more likely to engage with you if he sees you as powerful, ambitious, successful and influential. Expanding your network will help him to see you as someone he wants to invest time with.
