Hard-working and goal-oriented, the Capricorn you have your eyes on is one incredible boss woman. With her busy schedule, it seems the only time you can reach her is by text, but how can you text to impress? Think of texting a Capricorn woman as the first step into her life. First it’s texting, and sooner or later you’re meeting in-person on a date! We’ve compiled a list of ways you can text a Capricorn woman from encouragements to flirts.

Method 1

Method 1 of 11:
Send the first text.

1
A Capricorn woman likes someone who can make the first move. Be bold and hit that send button! Not only will she admire your charisma, but she’ll appreciate your drive to get what you want—it will remind her of herself. If you’re not sure what to text, try one of these options:
- “Hey! How was your weekend?”
- “Hi! How are you?😊”
- “Hey, what was last night’s homework?”
- “Hey, did you get that work email?😅”

Method 2 of 11:
Be straightforward about your feelings.

1
Honesty will get you far with a Capricorn woman. She doesn’t like playing games—she’s far too busy reaching her goals for that! Instead, be blunt and tell her how you feel about her right away, especially if you’re comfortable. Above everything else, she’ll appreciate—and maybe even fall for—your willingness to chase after what you want.^{[1]

- “Hey, so I really like you.”
- “I’ve seen you around work and just want to say I think you’re great.”

Method 3

Method 3 of 11:
Reply as soon as you can.

1
A Capricorn woman will watch and wait for your reply. Don’t leave her hanging and watching those three dots bounce up and down. Do her a solid by being quick to respond! Try not to change your message too many times because she may start to worry about what all your previous drafts said. If you can’t respond right away, be honest and apologize for the delay. Here are some ways you can get the conversation going again:^{[2]

- “Hey! I’m so sorry for not getting back to you. Got caught in a meeting and my phone was off😬”
- “Sorry I didn’t reply right away! Things got a bit hectic.”
- “I can’t believe I’m just seeing this! I’m sorry for just now getting back to you! Will you ever forgive me?🥺”

Method 4 of 11:
Keep texts short and sweet.

1
Long texts will turn a Capricorn woman off immediately. She’s got a lot going on, and frankly might not have the time to read a super long message. So, keeping things short, sweet, and to the point will not only catch her eye, but make her want to engage with you.^{[3]

- If you want to have a long chat with her, she’s not opposed to that! Ask her if there’s a good time you can call or you can meet up in-person.
- An instant red flag for her would be if you text her back to back to back if she hasn’t responded. Be patient—she hasn’t forgotten about you!

Method 5

Method 5 of 11:
Ask about her work.

1
The way to a Capricorn woman’s heart is through her job. She’s a career-driven, independent woman who will stop at nothing to climb that corporate ladder and break the glass ceiling. You’re sure to grab her attention by asking about what’s going on at the office, or, better yet, what her next career move is.
- “Hey! How’s work going?”
- “Saw your company on the news. Is there anything you can’t do?🤩”
- “How’s the 9 to 5 treating you these days?”

Ask about her current goals.

A Capricorn woman’s “can do” attitude is her driving force. She’s hard-working and loves creating new goals for herself. A simple text about what she’s currently hoping to achieve is bound to impress her.^{[4]

Method 7 of 11:
Tell her about your big achievements.

1
A Capricorn woman is drawn to success. She’ll want to know all about your life, so text her about your latest accomplishments like acing a test, getting a promotion, or learning a new skill. If you’re receiving an award or are going to be a part of a ceremony, invite her to come along! She wants someone who is self-sufficient and established, so hint at your incredible life.^{[5]

Method 8

Method 8 of 11:
Send her encouraging messages.

1
She’s always rising to the top, so be her biggest cheerleader! A Capricorn woman is always climbing the ladders but can often be too wrapped up to give herself the attention she needs. Send her an encouraging text reminding her she’s got this before a big life or work event. Not only will your heartfelt words mean the world to her, she’ll be impressed by you remembering her life details.
- “You’re going to nail that presentation today!”
- “They’re blind if they don’t pick you. You’re absolutely incredible.”
- “Take a deep breath and remember how awesome you are.”

Method 9

Method 9 of 11:
Be upfront when you flirt with her.

1
It might take a Capricorn woman a while to know you’re into them. Because of this, being direct and honest when it comes to flirting is your best bet! Lean into those cliches and corny pick-up lines that’ll make her roll her eyes and blush all at the same time. Catching those subtle hints isn’t her thing, so give her the obvious!^{[6]

Method 10

Method 10 of 11:
Let her know you need help.

1
Give her a chance to show off her smarts and leadership skills. A Capricorn woman wants to feel useful, so give her a reason to help. Maybe you need some life advice or have no idea how long you should cook your chicken. No matter the problem, text her to see if she has the solution—and don’t be afraid to throw in a few cheeky remarks while you do!
- “You wouldn’t by chance know how to remove juice from a carpet?😅”
- “I just got offered two jobs and I’m not sure what to do.”
- “What would you recommend I serve with chicken? Trying to impress someone tonight😏”

Method 11

Method 11 of 11:
Ask her out on an in-person date.

1
A Capricorn woman will eventually want things to go beyond texting. If you really want her, prove it! Ask her if you can call her so you can hear her voice or tell her something wild. Take an even bolder step and schedule a time you can meet up. She would rather talk instead of text, so take initiative and see what happens. If anything, she’ll admire your drive.
- “I heard about this cool coffee shop. Want to check it out sometime?”
- “I’d love to talk to you in-person. Are you free this weekend?”
