Okay, so I’ve been trying to get the attention of this Capricorn woman at work. I’ve always found them intriguing, you know? Super grounded, ambitious, and they have this dry wit that I just love. It’s been a process, let me tell you, and I’m still figuring things out, but here’s what I’ve been doing so far:
Show, Don’t Just Tell
First off, I realized I couldn’t just tell her I was a reliable, hard-working guy. Capricorns are all about practicality and results, right? So I started subtly demonstrating those qualities.
- Taking Initiative: I volunteered for a couple of extra projects, and made sure to really nail them. I wasn’t showy about it, just quietly got things done.
- Being Punctual: Sounds basic, but I made extra sure to be on time for meetings and deadlines. I even started coming in a little early, just to get a head start on the day.
- Dressing the Part: I upped my work wardrobe game. Nothing crazy, just cleaner, more put-together outfits. It’s about looking like someone who has their stuff together, you know?
The Slow Burn Approach
Capricorns are known for being cautious, so I knew I couldn’t rush things. It’s been all about building a solid foundation of respect and trust.
- Workplace Banter: I started with casual, work-related conversations. Asking her opinion on projects, sharing relevant industry articles, that kind of thing. No flirting, just genuine interest in her thoughts.
- Observing Her: I started paying attention about little things about her, noticing her favorite coffee, and her working style.
- Offering Help (Subtly): If I saw her struggling with something, I’d offer a hand, but in a low-key way. Like, “Hey, I’m pretty good with spreadsheets, need any help with that?”
Keeping it Real
Authenticity is key, I think. Capricorns can spot a fake a mile away. So I’ve been making sure to be myself, just the best, most polished version of myself.
- Sharing (Appropriate) Goals: I mentioned my long-term career aspirations in a casual conversation, just to show her I’m driven and have a plan.
- Being Genuine: I tried to avoid any kind of bragging or posturing. Just being honest and straightforward in my interactions.
- Respecting Her Space: I’ve been very mindful of not being overly pushy or intrusive. Giving her space to respond and not overwhelming her.
Results So Far?
It’s still early days, but I think it’s working! We’ve had some good conversations, and she seems more comfortable around me. She even laughed at one of my (terrible) jokes the other day! I’m taking that as a win. I’m planning to eventually ask her out for coffee, outside of the work context, but I want to build a bit more rapport first. The key is patience, I think. Wish me luck!
