  1. Once you've started the conversation, let him take it from there. Send an open-ended text so he can decide where the conversation goes, and wait for him to initiate the next couple of text conversations. And, since you sent the first text, let him be the one to ask for a first date! [3]
    • “I’m terrible at starting conversations. Do you want to try? 😉”
    • “You choose: should I start with a cheesy pick-up line, a compliment, or a simple hello?”
    • “I like you. What are you going to do about it?”

    • "It's crazy how much you know about classic cinema! Would you show me your favorite film sometime?"
    • "I'm so happy that you're interested in true crime too! What's your favorite documentary?"
    • Text him a link to an article. "You're into politics, right? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this."

  1. Send him a selfie that makes you look neat and flirty without showing much skin. Most guys are attracted to visuals and photos, and a Capricorn guy is no exception—but his traditional outlook on romance means he's more intrigued when you leave something to the imagination. [6]
    • Wear a flattering outfit when you take the picture. Pick simple and classic clothes to impress your Capricorn.
    • Avoid sending photos where you look messy, like post-workout pics or early morning selfies. The more put-together you look, the better.

    • “Fun fact of the week: otters hold hands when they sleep so they don’t float apart. Cute, right?”
    • “Thanks for inviting me out for a drink! I’ll see you at 6 PM sharp. I’d never keep a guy like you waiting!”

Send short, efficient texts.

  1. He doesn't need long, emotional paragraphs filling up his phone screen. Your Capricorn is an efficient communicator, and he'll be more open to flirting with someone who can do the same. [10] Limit your flirty texts to one or two sentences. Keep them short and sweet to catch his eye!
    • There's a difference between being concise and rude. Make sure every text still feels polite. Add an exclamation or simple smiley face if a text seems cold.
    • For example: if he texts you and asks you out for a coffee, confirm by texting "Sure. I can't wait!" rather than "Yep." While it's shorter, the first text is still concise—and kinder too.

    It's okay to use emojis here and there when texting. Try not to overuse them, as that'll come off as too eager. But a little bit of emoji use will show them that you're lighthearted and fun. You should also always try to move the conversation forward as you're texting. You don't want to stick to one topic for too long, as this can become boring for the other person. Finally, don't be afraid to send a photo of somewhere that you're located that reminds you of the person for whatever reason, or say a song just came on and reminded you of the person. If you show that interest and common ground and it'll make the other person excited as well.

Wait for him to respond.

  1. Even if he takes time to respond, avoid double-texting or sending a stream of follow-up messages. [11] Send one text and let him respond before sending another. If it's been more than a day, feel free to follow up, but otherwise, take a step back and give him time to text you.
    • Capricorn guys are especially unlikely to respond during work hours because they're so driven and focused. Don't take it personally if you text him in the morning and get a response in the evening!
    • If he's slow to text, ask your Capricorn to call you instead. He'll probably agree; Capricorn isn't the most text-savvy sign and gravitates toward old-school methods of communication.
