Capricorn Male -the yo yo effect?

Hmm..that's weird. My husband is a Capricorn and he is nothing like what you described. In fact, he was just the opposite. He chased me all over the place and was very aggressive in his pursuit. He told me straight out, no bones about it, how he felt about me and made his intentions clear right from the start which is usually how most of them (at least the ones I know) are. I can say that Capricorns are very multi-layered and it takes a long time to REALLY get to know them. Maybe he just sees you as a friend and doesn't want to hurt you by being bluntly honest (which is another typical Capricorn trait). I think the best thing you can do is tell him you want to have an honest talk with him and ask him these questions. Capricorns are pretty blunt and pretty honest so if you ask him straight out he will more than likely tell you the truth and then you'll know. Good luck :)
