Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely adore Capricorns. They’re amazing people, no question about that. They’re so smart, logical, and pragmatic. When they’ve set their mind on something, they know exactly how to accomplish their goals. It’s no wonder that so many great historical personalities were Capricorns.

When I’m looking for a good tax advisor or therapist, you betcha that I’m looking for a Capricorn. They are really great with numbers, and they have an eye for detail. If there is one person who knows how great Capricorns are, it’s me. My brother is a Capricorn, and he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, okay?

But, and this is a big but, when it comes to relationships and dating, Capricorns just aren’t for me. This doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with Capricorns, just so that we’re clear. There’s really nothing wrong with Capricorns. I don’t like tomatoes either, but that doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with tomatoes, right? It’s just a matter of personal taste. If you happen to love a Capricorn romantically, that’s great! Really, more power to you, I’m sure that you’re gonna very happy.

But for me personally, Capricorns just don’t have that same “ish” of, let’s say, a Leo or a Sagittarius. When I’m on a date with a Capricorn (just so you know, I’m speaking from experience here), it feels less like a romantic dinner, and more like a boardroom meeting. When I’m talking to one, they always want to analyze everything I say, even when I’m just trying to vent. Somehow they all seem to think that my feelings can just be “solved” in the same way that you can fix a broken sink. It’s like they can’t read the room at all. They’re all biz, no buzz. But when I’m dating someone, I need to feel real passion and heat, otherwise it just doesn’t work for me. I’m a woman, not an Excel spreadsheet, for crying out loud.

Now, let me say this again, I don’t have anything against Capricorns. If my future daughter wants to date a Capricorn, I’d have no problem with that. I’d even encourage her. And if you’re a Capricorn reading this, this isn’t meant to disparage you. I’m sure that one day you’ll make a woman very happy. Maybe another Capricorn, who appreciates your “facts’n logic” brand of romance. It’s just that that woman isn’t gonna be me.
