Dating A Capricorn Woman: 9 Things You Should Know

To get an idea of what a Capricorn woman is like to date, you need only look at some of the most famous Capricorn ladies on the planet. Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama, Diane Sawyer … these women are all successful, strong, and ambitious. Capricorn women like them tend to be self-sufficient, honest, and reliable. When it comes to dating them, there are a few things you should know! Read about them below.

  1. Don’t fear her ambition. Sometimes, dating a Capricorn woman can be intimidating. Typically, these ladies are full of ambition and have huge goals that they aren’t afraid to pursue. Some dates can feel a little uncomfortable about this, but don’t let it bother you. A Capricorn woman deserves someone who will let her shine. She might be turned off easily if she thinks someone’s going to get in the way of her achieving her dreams.
  2. She calls things how she sees them. One thing you should be prepared for when dating a Capricorn woman is total honesty. This sign tells it how it is. She’s blunt and honest and will call things how she sees them. She’s not the most empathetic sign so she doesn’t always understand how her words can come across. Don’t take it personally when she’s a little blunt, as this is just her style. But if she gets too harsh, always stand up for yourself and let her know how her words make you feel.
  3. She follows through with her promises. Capricorn is one of the most reliable signs in the zodiac. When she says she’s going to do something or be somewhere, trust that she’ll follow through. In this way, Capricorn can be a very safe and secure sign to date since it’s easy to trust her. That said, she is likely to expect her date to be just as reliable as she is.
  4. Don’t rush her. In the eyes of Capricorn, patience is definitely a virtue. She likes to take things slowly and go at her own pace. Therefore, she doesn’t appreciate people rushing her or trying to pressure her into situations before she’s ready. Be prepared that sometimes it may take her a while to meet you, whether it’s developing real feelings or making a commitment. Try to have patience and avoid rushing her.
  5. She’s not likely to admit she’s wrong. Like a few other signs in the zodiac, Capricorn isn’t likely to admit that she’s wrong. She can be stubborn and will often expect the person she’s dating to be the bigger person and say sorry first. This is a flaw she needs to work on, but the good thing is Capricorn isn’t afraid of hard work! If she feels like she needs to grow as a person, then she will.
  6. She can feel difficult to please. Capricorn tends to have notoriously high standards. When you’re dating her and trying to impress her, this can be really intimidating. It can help to really listen when she talks and take note of the things she likes and doesn’t like. That way, you can cater to her tastes when offering gifts or romantic gestures. But at the end of the day, you’re only human. And if you can’t impress your Capricorn date, you wouldn’t be the first person!
  7. She won’t rely on you for everything. A Capricorn woman is many things, but needy isn’t one of them. Actually, she’s one of the most independent signs in the zodiac. Don’t take it personally if she needs alone time or does pretty much everything without your help. This sign loves being independent and feeling empowered. She’s not the type that needs someone to hold her hand through life (though she may crave that sometimes!).
  8. She can seem cold. Capricorn women tend to do things in their own time. Sometimes, it can take her a while to warm to someone she first starts dating. Until she really gets to know you, she’s not likely to open up or really connect with you. In fact, Capricorn women can seem cold and unfriendly at first. Trust that she moves in her own time and don’t give up on her too early.
  9. She might hold a grudge. “Forgive and forget” isn’t Capricorn’s favorite saying. In fact, she’s more the type to hold a grudge when someone hurts her. Though she can forgive people who ask for it and deserve it, it can sometimes take her a long time to get over things. Again, this is just Capricorn moving in her own time. Rushing her will only make her defensive, so all you can do is be patient.
