How to Attract a Virgo Man As a Capricorn Woman

Look stylish and well-groomed.

Virgos have an eye for detail and gravitate towards neat, tidy people. As Astrologer Stina Garbis puts it, "[Virgos are attracted to] cleanliness and good hygiene; they want you to smell good and look good" Attract him by wearing fitted clothes that are classy, feminine, and comfortable. Choose a well-put-together look, and dress modestly to leave something to his imagination. As a Capricorn, this should be easy for you since you're a pro at looking refined in clothes that are nice but not over-the-top! Try a flattering skirt or stylish pants paired with a comfortable sweater. Feel free to wear sensible heels if they won't slow you down, but if they do, opt for a pair of ballet flats instead. Virgos tend to prefer neutral tones and earthy shades of blue. In fact, you might share this taste as a fellow earth sign. Stick with one piece of elegant jewelry, such as your favorite necklace or a delicate pair of earrings.

Put on an air of mystery.

Intrigue your Virgo and encourage his natural curiosity. According to Astrologer Stina Garbis, Virgos "like to unravel mysteries and have a few of their own. Being mysterious and not completely upfront about everything gives them a chance to become interested and want to know more."Talk to him, but refrain from giving your whole life story and hint that there's more to find out. There’s no need to hide things or ignore his questions; just be light on the details. Your naturally reserved Capricorn nature is a big help here, and a Virgo guy will love figuring you out piece by piece. Mention the state you grew up in without giving away the town, or hint that you have a big family and a lot of funny stories without actually telling any. If you need an excuse not to tell a story or give details right away, you could say, "I'll tell you the next time we hang out!" to make him want to see you again.

Ask him for help.

This man is down-to-earth and logical, so he loves to fix things. Ask him for practical advice or hands-on help with a project, and pick something you know he's good at. Your Virgo feels good about himself when he can fix problems and support the people around him, so if you ask for help, he'll be the first to pitch in. Astrologer Stina Garbis emphasizes that it's important to "allow [him] to give advice no matter how cringey, and let [him] have [his] way" Any DIY project is a safe bet. Ask him for help setting up your entertainment center or staining the wood on your old bookcase to revamp it. He also loves giving advice. Ask him for a book recommendation or a cool new coffee place to try—and then follow up to show him you took his advice. As a Capricorn woman, you're also extremely practical and like to be helpful. Therefore, you'll have an intuitive understanding of this common Virgo trait!

Compliment his work ethic.

Hardworking Virgo will love having his dedication acknowledged. This sign is one of the biggest perfectionists of the zodiac, and nobody is more critical of Virgo than he is himself. Help him take a step back and see that his hard work is appreciated with a compliment. Capricorns are incredibly hardworking, too, so you're uniquely qualified to understand his mindset. You could say, "Not many people work as hard as you do, and it shows. I think your work ethic is super impressive!" "You're always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. Your generosity is really inspiring!" "Your knowledge of world history is so impressive—you must have studied hard. Feel free to share fun facts over text—I'd love to hear them!" Your Virgo will love getting compliments from you as a Capricorn. Because he can see how driven and ambitious you are, he'll be flattered to know you think so highly of him too!

Show off your sense of humor.

Super serious Virgo enjoys being around people who make him laugh. While Virgo guys tend to come off as serious, you’ll also find that he has a major funny bone and loves telling wry, sarcastic jokes. Luckily, you've got a similar Capricorn sense of humor. Attract him by proving that your jokes are totally compatible with his, like most things about you. "I'm not sure I've been falling asleep at night. I might just overthink myself into a coma instead!" Send a deadpan text message and then add a funny GIF, so he knows you're joking. Virgo guys don't like crude or dirty jokes, but that shouldn't be a problem—as a Capricorn, you're likely not a fan of them either!

Have intellectual conversations.

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind, Virgos are attracted to smarts. That’s great news for you—he won't be intimidated at all by your sharp Capricorn mind. You'll have no problem starting deep, thought-provoking conversations with him, and your Virgo guy will love every minute of them. If you're in school, talk about your favorite subjects and what you hope to learn in the future. If not, talk about your college major or the best paper you ever wrote. Philosophy, current events, and even a friendly, upbeat debate are all fair game as well. Bring up favorite books, movies, and more. Look for things you have in common, too. Say something like, "I love historical documentaries too! What's your favorite? Maybe you could show it to me sometime."

Do volunteer work together.

Virgo guys are kind and giving, with a strong social conscience. Just as he likes to help out the people in his life, he's also prone to lending help to those less fortunate than himself. Be sure to bring up any charity work you've done or mention causes you care deeply about. Even better, ask him to volunteer with you—it'll make a great impression on him and give you a chance to spend time together. "There's a food drive at the local pantry this weekend, and I'm thinking of signing up as a volunteer. Want to do it with me?" "If you could change one thing about society, what would it be?" As a Capricorn, you tend to be very focused on your own goals in life, to the point that you might not consider volunteer work. Let your Virgo's compassion inspire you, and think about the changes you'd like to see in the world.

Build a heartfelt friendship.

This sign wants to be your friend before moving on to romance. Virgos find it difficult to throw themselves into a relationship right away and are far more likely to develop a crush on someone they know well platonically. As a Capricorn, you also have a strong need to develop friendships before romance, so building attraction this way should be fairly straightforward. As Astrologer Stina Garbis explains, "Virgos will stare at you from afar, and will follow you somehow without you knowing for some time if they are into you. If you make yourself open and available and not a hard target, [you] might get a shy and receptive sign like Virgo to approach." Spend quality time with him when you can. Since you're both hard workers, try setting up a platonic work date where you both meet up at a cafe (or one of your homes) and just work in the same space. Text him regularly to check in and see how he's doing. He'll appreciate your concern. Also, neither of you are the world's best texters, so feel free to give him a call instead. While you're building your friendship, show him how sweet and nurturing you can be. Capricorns may not seem to be either of those things at first glance, but deep down, you're thoughtful and want to help the people you like.

Be honest and open.

Your Virgo has no patience for mind games and values sincerity. He’ll need you to be open and available to him before he starts to pursue you. According to Astrologer Stina Garbis, in addition to cleanliness, key features that Virgo is attracted to include "honesty [and] availability," so if you act like a hard target by canceling on him or pretending that you have other options, he might be deterred. Be transparent with your feelings, and make sure you're accessible and responsive when scheduling dates. While your guarded Capricorn nature might make opening up a little hard for you, too, you are committed to telling the truth. Communication shouldn't be hard for either of you because you can depend on each other's honesty.

Show him that you're trustworthy.

A cautious Virgo can only open up to people he trusts. Astrologer Stina Garbis emphasizes that, "it is very hard to get a Virgo to open up and to pursue you." Prove to him that you're as loyal and dependable as he is, and he'll be ready to let his guard down with you. Encourage him to confide in you and keep his secrets. Follow through on your promises to build up trust. Be exclusive and don't flirt around, as your Virgo isn't the type to play the field or flirt with other people when he likes you. Thankfully, Capricorns don't like to flirt around either. Both of you take every stage of a relationship seriously, even the getting-to-know-you stage before you actually date. Your mutual dependability makes this a great match!

Take things slowly.

As a shy sign, let Virgo take his time getting comfortable with romance. Astrologer Stina Garbis explains that "you have to really intrigue them in a particular way [...] to open up to you out of the blue." Instead, it's better to open up to each other slowly over time. Be patient with him and let him show you when he's ready for more intimacy. In the meantime, send him affectionate and flirty signals that won't make him feel extra pressure: make eye contact when you talk, give him a warm hug in greeting, and go for a kiss on the cheek if you're feeling it. Virgo's shy nature could be an issue, as Capricorns are equally slow when it comes to romance. Keep in mind that if you're both sending signals after a while and neither of you is acting, you might need to take the initiative and tell him how you feel!
