10 Signs a Capricorn Man is Using You

Capricorn men prefer to be straightforward in relationships. They are busy and don’t usually have time to play games. Some of them will still use people, though, especially if they are more self-absorbed.

A Capricorn man will not be a good partner when using you. If he just wants sex or is looking for something else from you, he won’t treat you with the same respect and devotion he would a partner he loves.

Your Capricorn man might act out of character when he’s using you. He won’t try to hide that he’s messing with you.

1. You’ve Never Met His Family

One of the signs a Capricorn man is using you is that you’ve never met his family. If you two have been together for a while and he doesn’t talk about his family or won’t introduce you, that’s a sign something is wrong.

A Capricorn man will tell you if he isn’t in touch with his family or if the few family members he had are deceased. He won’t keep that from you because he wants you to know why you can’t meet his family.

Family is important to Capricorn men. They want the people they love to become part of that family. If your Capricorn man doesn’t let you meet his family, he might not be that interested in you.

Your Capricorn man might be using you if he brushes you off when you want him to meet your family. He won’t want to establish a connection with them because he doesn’t intend on sticking around.

2. He Won’t Meet Your Friends

When should you give up on a Capricorn man? If you’ve been together for months or even years and he refuses to meet any of the people you’re closest to, he might not be with you for the right reasons.

When a Capricorn man genuinely wants to be with someone and commit to them, he wants to know the people who are important to them!

Your Capricorn man might be nervous about meeting your friends early in your relationship, but he’ll still be open to the idea. He may hold off at first but will eventually meet them.

If a Capricorn man completely avoids the people in your life, he might be using you. He doesn’t want to establish any connections with your friends, and he doesn’t want anyone to discover that he’s using you and tell you!

3. He’s Incredibly Secretive

One of the signs a Capricorn man is playing you is that he’ll be more secretive than usual.

Capricorn men can sometimes be closed off, but they open up to their close friends and partners. They don’t want to remain secretive or distant.

Your Capricorn might be using you or hiding something else from you if he always acts secretive and suspicious of you. If it seems like he’s sneaking around, he probably is!

Your Capricorn man might lie about where he is or refuse to tell you where he’s going. You may catch him at places he’s not supposed to be or hear from a friend that he was at a party he said he wouldn’t attend.

A Capricorn man is using you if he lies about being with other women. That’s a sure sign he’s messing with you!

4. He’s Never Jealous

Usually, when you’re in a relationship with a Capricorn man, he will care if you flirt with other men or spend time with people you’ve dated in the past.

Capricorn men try not to get overwhelmed by jealousy, but they sometimes get jealous! A Capricorn man who loves you will get jealous if you show interest in someone else.

A Capricorn man who is using you won’t necessarily care if you’re interested in another person, though. He might care if he can’t get what he wants anymore, but he won’t be jealous.

If your Capricorn man completely ignores all attempts to make him jealous, he might not care about you. He would at least talk to you if he loved you and was concerned about your relationship.

5. He’s Unreliable

When a Capricorn man respects you, he’ll respect your time. He will always be on time, and you can rely on him.

Capricorn men tend to be reliable in general. They don’t make plans they won’t stick to or promises they can’t keep. If a Capricorn man isn’t reliable, that’s a sign something is up!

One of the main signs a Capricorn man isn’t interested in you is that he’ll cancel plans frequently.

He might say he’s staying at work late instead of going on a date night like he planned to or say he suddenly has other plans when he was supposed to meet you somewhere.

This is incredibly out of character for a Capricorn man. Things do legitimately come up sometimes, but he’ll do his best to be reliable and follow through on the plans he makes.

6. Only Reaches Out When He Wants Something

If a Capricorn man is sending mixed signals, it might be because he’s using you! If he is only kind when he wants something, then goes back to being cold, that’s a red flag.

When a Capricorn man loves you, he’ll reach out to talk to you or see how you’re doing. If he hasn’t heard from you in a while, he’ll want to check in and ensure things are okay.

Capricorn men don’t text “just because,” but they will message the people they care about to make plans or have conversations with them.

If your Capricorn man only reaches out to ask for favors, he’s using you. He knows that he can get what he wants from you without putting in any effort.

Tell your Capricorn man no the next time he asks for a favor. If he gets irritated or ghosts you, he is likely just using you.

7. He Never Makes Plans With You

Will a Capricorn man use you? Many Capricorn men will not. Unfortunately, some will and one of the ways you’ll know is that your Capricorn man will refuse to make plans with you.

If a Capricorn man doesn’t see you in his future, he won’t make any long-term plans. He won’t want to plan vacations, and he won’t invite you to a family wedding that’s coming up later on.

A Capricorn man constantly canceling plans on you is one thing, but it’s a definite sign something is wrong if he refuses to spend any time with you in the first place.

A Capricorn man’s love language is quality time. If he genuinely cared about you, he’d want to make plans with you. He would see you in his future and want to keep you around.

8. He’s Unsupportive

Capricorn men can be incredibly supportive partners. They might not always be the most emotional, but they’ll show support in their own way.

If your Capricorn man won’t support your goals or ignores you when you need emotional support, he might be using you.

There will be times when a Capricorn man is legitimately caught up with something else and can’t step away to help you with something, but he should generally be around to offer support when needed.

A Capricorn man who is using you might make rude comments about your goals or even discourage you from trying to achieve them. He won’t just ignore you. He’ll actively prove he doesn’t care.

9. He’s Completely Closed Off

A Capricorn man who refuses to open up to you at all might be using you. When a Capricorn man says he loves you, he’ll show you that his words are true by opening up to you and being vulnerable.

Capricorn men might be closed off near the beginning of a relationship or with people that they just met, but they won’t want to remain that way forever!

Usually, a Capricorn man will open up to his partner. He’ll want her to know more about him, and he will want to share his innermost thoughts and feelings with her.

If your Capricorn man is using you, he won’t try to open up. He’ll always keep you at a distance, and he will close himself off from you as much as possible.

10. Won’t Go Anywhere With You

If your Capricorn man only ever seems to hang out with you at his place or at your place when nobody else is there, that’s a sign he might be using you.

Capricorn men can be secretive and closed off about relationships, but they won’t completely hide their partner from the world! They will be proud to be seen with them.

Something might be wrong if your Capricorn man never takes you to fine restaurants and never wants to go anywhere else with you.

Talk to your Capricorn man. If something else is wrong and you express sadness over never going anywhere, he’ll tell you what’s wrong. If he dismisses you, he might be using you.
