Amorous Nature of Capricorn has a hard time opening up and trusting. Capricorns are reliable, determined and faithful, making them valuable lovers and great assets in various relationships. They know their hearts well, and do not hesitate to lock things down when they know that the relationship is right. They are extremely cautious when falling in love.

Amorous Nature of Capricorn Woman
Though she may not show it, this woman cares a great deal about love. Deep in her inner core, she is an extravagant romantic, but she is very private, restrained and aloof. She is discriminating in her choice of men. She has no time to waste in silly flirtation; love is a serious matter to her. If a man does not measure up, she wants him out of her way. If a man does interest her, she will observe him from an emotional distance before moving closer. She takes the time to get to know him and considers carefully the consequences of her involvement.

Like all earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), she has a deep-rooted sensuality that flowers only when she feels safe and secure. To Capricorn woman, happiness in love is crucial. She wants someone who will cherish and understand her. She is self-disciplined; she has a clear mind, a commonsense approach. She is not easy to win. She expects to be pursued, wooed and put into the mood.

Capricorn women are not particularly lucky in love. Perhaps they demand too much, they are too involved with a career to inspire the kind of love and devotion they want, or perhaps the men they choose tend to be too inexperienced or naive. They are loyal, dependable, excellent at handling money and shrewd about people. They are very helpful to a mate and will stand by him when the going is toughest.

Amorous Nature of Capricorn Man
Women are intrigued by a Capricorn man"s frank and earthy approach. However, love relationships are not easy for him emotionally. There is always a certain loner quality about him. He has difficulty placing his trust in another human being. To some extent he cuts himself off from spontaneous feeling. In his career, Capricorn man has complete responsibility for decisions, and in relationships he finds it hard to share responsibility.

Like his female counterpart, he has a very cool exterior. He appears totally self-assured, but he needs a woman to show how much she likes and admires him. Because he is private, even secretive, he does not always let this need be known. He is a faithful lover who does not feel or even understand the need to stray. He will sacrifice romance and look for a woman who will be useful to his ambitions. Generally, Capricorn men marry either very early in life or in their later years. The ones who marry later are usually happier. By the time a Capricorn man is successful, he has become more relaxed, less wary of love; it is no longer a burden for him to climb up the ladder. The older Capricorn male gets, the more attractive he becomes, and the more potent.

Impressing a Capricorn
A sure way to capture Capricorns interest is to be amusing, for they are basically melancholy types who need an emotional lift. If Capricorns appear aloof at first, it is because they are calculating the risks of a new friendship. They often try to mask their feelings because they are afraid of exposing too much of themselves.

Capricorns are interested in art, music and theatre and are drawn to people who are intellectually stimulating. They prefer to talk of serious subjects. Persons born under this sign appreciate luxury. Books are always a good item, especially biographies, self-help books and books dealing with investments.
