Limit contact with him.
A Capricorn will pretend the silence doesn’t bother him, but it does. Capricorn men crave stability in life. Even though you aren’t together right now, your guy probably still chats with you regularly. The best way to shake up him up and make him miss you is to disrupt the communication routine he’s used to. Here are a few ideas: Relegate most of your communication to social media Respond to his texts occasionally after a few hours go by Avoid phone conversations (unless it’s an emergency)
Keep your interactions low-key.
Capricorns hate drama and will go to great lengths to avoid it. If you want to make your man regret losing you, the best approach is to act casual and make it perfectly clear that you’ve put him in the friend-zone. He’ll appreciate the calm stability of a friendship. Before long, though, he’ll start wondering why he ever let you go. For example: If he texts you about a jacket he left at your place, try a breezy response like, “No prob, I know exactly where it is! I’ve got an errand to run, so I can even drop it off this afternoon if that's better for you. Lmk!”
Be active on social media.
Capricorns tend to monitor their exes’ profiles. If your man is a typical Capricorn, he’s all over your social media profiles hunting for clues about what you're doing (he's too proud to simply ask). Post often about all the cool stuff you’re doing, like pics of you with your friends, and the occasional cute selfie. Avoid posting anything too wild, like pictures from your crazy night at a club, since that might turn off a reserved Capricorn. RSVP to events on Facebook and “check-in” when you visit venues or restaurants. Your sleuthing fella will see it, don’t worry.
Focus on work or school.
Capricorns are hard workers and they admire that trait in others. If he happens to text you, be sure to mention the new work project you just took on, your recent promotion, or anything else that puts your work ethic front and center. Post stuff on Insta and Facebook about work, school, or career projects, too. Capricorns tend to monitor their exes’ profiles, so he’ll see it. For example, post a picture of you and your coworkers running the company booth at a tradeshow.
Treat yourself to a glow up.
Capricorns are drawn to partners who exude elegance and class. Try out a new hairstyle and get a couple of new sophisticated outfits that you know will catch his eye. Then, post a few selfies on IG to show off your new look. Pay attention to the little details, too—get your nails done and make sure your makeup game is on point (if you wear it). You could also text him a selfie and say, “New haircut today! What do you think?”
Stay busy with new interests.
Your new pursuits will intrigue a hardworking Capricorn guy. Try to taking a night class (or an online course) to learn something new that you’ve always been curious about. Then, be sure to mention it in passing (or post about it on social media) so your guy knows what you’re doing. Try things like: Begin yoga training with the intention of becoming an instructor yourself Volunteer at a local animal shelter every weekend Take painting classes and work on getting a show at a local gallery Up your running game and start training for a local half marathon
Concentrate on self-care.
Impress your picky Capricorn with your positive lifestyle changes. Capricorns are very invested in themselves—this is one of their core traits. If he sees you putting yourself first, making healthy choices, and living your best life, he’ll start wondering why he left you in the first place. Try things like: Optimize wellness with a wearable device (FitBit, Apple Watch etc.) Learn meditation and/or other mindfulness techniques Sign up for a monthly massage membership
Go on an awesome vacation.
Capricorns are drawn to independent folks who live life to the fullest. Traveling is a great way to prove to your man that you’re his kind of person. It’ll also be great for you to get out and see the world! Be sure to post pictures of your vacay on social media so he’ll see them. He may even feel a twinge of jealousy that he’s not by your side. You could: Check out the Grand Canyon with your besties Road trip to the nearest beach Explore a big city (like London, New York City, or Montreal)
Date someone new.
Pick someone more successful than him to make a Capricorn jealous. If jealousy has been a problem for him in the past, avoid this strategy since it could anger him or turn him off. If your Capricorn is relatively level-headed, though, a little twinge of jealousy is all it will take to make him start running back to you! Don’t lead the new guy on if you want to get back together with your ex. There are plenty of guys out there who are interested in casual flings, especially on dating apps like Tinder.
Ask him for help or advice out of the blue.
Capricorns are eager problem solvers and enjoy feeling needed. If you haven't spoken to him in a while, asking him for help with a small project around the house or for his advice on something practical will stroke his ego and make him feel needed. This won't be effective if you do it multiple times; choose one thing and go for it. Try things like: Asking him for income tax advice (if he’s financially savvy) Inviting him over to help you repaint your garage (you’ll supply the beer!) Calling him up the next time you’re stranded with a flat tire
Do something nice for his family.
Capricorn men are committed to their family members. This works well if you were pretty close to your ex’s family. If you weren’t, you can always just ask your Capricorn guy how his family is doing occasionally to show that you care. Here are a few helpful ideas you can try if you were close to this family: Offer to help his grandmother move furniture or go on a grocery run Give his little brother some solid dating or career advice Pick his mom up at the airport if no one else is available
