How to Attract a Capricorn Man As a Gemini Woman

Share his sense of humor.

A Capricorn man wants someone who can match his killer sense of humor. Guys of this sign don’t get a lot of credit for their dry wit, but in reality, they’re total comedians. He'll be over the moon if you show him that you see how hilarious he is. You’ll get extra points if you fire back with an even funnier deadpan joke! To Geminis, humor and adaptability are second nature. You’ll have no issue getting him to crack a rib over your great comebacks.

Mirror his behavior.

Capricorns love people they really get—AKA, people just like them. Geminis are the adapters of the zodiac, so you can embody just about any personality trait, anytime. Obviously, for the two of you to have an authentic and close relationship down the line, you should get to be your true self. But when you’re first getting to know your Capricorn crush, you’ll probably get farther faster if you leave him thinking, wow, we're so alike! If the two of you are out on the scene and he’s acting a bit reserved, follow his lead and hang back with him. When you sense his tone shift in conversation, maybe from humorous to serious, try to follow suit.

Help him relax.

If you can get a Capricorn man to lighten up, he’ll love you for it. Men of this sign are ultra-serious, self-critical, and generally pretty high strung. He may have a hard time taking a breather and enjoying silly moments, but that doesn’t mean that he never wants that. You, Gemini woman, the queen of childlike wonder, can totally soften his edges if you put your mind to it. Invite him to play a jokingly competitive game of basketball, making funny, dramatic moves while you play. Try asking a silly question in response to something he says. He already knows you’re smart as a whip, so he'll find this disarming and funny.

Be a great listener.

Caps are afraid of being boring—but Geminis find everyone fascinating. You ladies are famous for your ability to chat anyone up because you could find a way to be interested by paint drying. So, show him that his monologue on the stock market, his new project at work, or the history of NYC’s public transportation system completely fascinates you. As a Gemini, you probably don’t need any advice on how to be a great listener. Just do your thing! Nod often, ask thoughtful questions, maintain eye contact, and validate his feelings. He’ll feel super close to you–and super attracted to you, too!

Channel your curiosity into things he adores.

Geek out with a Capricorn over shared interests, and you’ll have him hooked. Your Capricorn crush might’ve read a book on Greek mythology and is desperate to discuss it with someone. Offer to read it within the week and then share all of your intelligent, thoughtful reactions to discuss with him. Capricorns are completely attracted to intelligence, hard-work, and sophistication. Your ability to enjoy and think critically about every academic subject will be a huge turn on in his eyes.

Show off your smarts.

Capricorn guys love strong, intelligent women–and that’s definitely you! You probably know a bit about every topic, and he should be aware of that. As a Gemini, you're considered the most curious sign, a true lifelong learner. When conversation dips into politics, the environment, the education system, or the NYT bestsellers list, let all of your super informed opinions fly.

Bring out your sophisticated side.

To Capricorn guys, class and intellect will always be attractive. As a Gemini woman, you're definitely capable of emulating whatever niche your crush adores. With a Capricorn, you should be going for polite, posh, and academic. At your next party, bring up one of the many worldly topics you’re interested in. Even something as simple as keeping a great posture will send a signal to your Capricorn crush that you take yourself seriously.

Dress in classic styles.

At the end of the day, Capricorns are all about how things look. To catch his eye and snag his interest, try dressing in chic, formal styles when you two hang out. Something as simple as how you present yourself will actually mean a lot to your Capricorn crush, so spend an extra ten minutes or so fine-tuning the details of your next gorgeous look. If you’re attending an event with him and you’re not sure how to dress, err on the side of formal. Go for solid neutrals, a bit of modesty, and limit your accessories.

Show him you’re independent(-ish).

Capricorns crush on totally self-sufficient people. He’ll be attracted to someone if they can prove they don’t need to be attached to him at the hip. As a Gemini, you may have a bit of a tough time being alone (and that’s okay!), so try to focus on all of your other fabulous friendships while you’re courting a Capricorn. It's alright if you'd still like a crowd around you most of the time, as long as it’s not always him. Instead of calling him to hang on every weeknight, go out with your friends instead. Host a dinner party, a book club, or join a pal for an exercise class.

Help him reach his goals.

Capricorns can be a bit transactional, even when it comes to their crush! Men of this sign genuinely fall for people that they see as a value-add in their life. That may seem a bit stiff, but it doesn’t make their crush any less real. These guys are just extremely practical people, and that extends to romance, too. Find ways to improve his standing in life, and you’ll have his heart. As a Gemini, you’re probably majorly connected. Introduce him to all of your successful, interesting, and ambitious friends. Help him with a project. If he’s working on organizing his schedule, offer to pass him all the stickies and highlighters his heart desires. Teach him something. You’ve got tons of know-how and facts to offer. He’ll love feeling like every time he talks to you, he’s getting smarter.

Be patient while he makes up his mind.

Capricorn men are all about taking their time in romance. He’ll want to be totally certain about how he feels about you before he makes any formal commitment. That's because when he does, he’ll take your relationship super seriously. As a Gemini, you probably prefer to play the field anyway, so use this to your advantage! While you’re waiting for your Capricorn crush to come to terms with how he feels, enjoy yourself, don’t pressure him, and don’t read into how long he’ll take to think. Make sure that while you’re enjoying your freedom, though, that you don’t make him jealous. This sign won’t respond well to playing games or seeing you with other love interests. Try to play it cool, otherwise you run the risk of losing his attention. They might be afraid of rejection. Because of that, a Capricorn might be slower to make a move, taking a little longer to contemplate it and plan it out.
