There’s nothing wrong with making room for other people’s opinions, but you should take steps to guard yourself from being taken advantage of or being led astray. After all, your mind isn’t quite made up, which makes it easy for someone to come along and influence you. Listen intently to what other people have to say about the topic in question, and then do your own research either to confirm or disprove their theories. Your perspective on certain issues may change, but the final word should be left entirely up to you.

Technology is on your side now, so make the most of it. Go online and see who’s new and hot. Send a sweet, funny message or three. Keep your phone handy.

Give your partner the gift of your full attention. They’ll very much appreciate your graciousness in various situations, especially later on. Etiquette pays off when you least expect it!

Even though it’s a day of fun, being smart about it is a must. You have costs to save and decisions to make every step of the way today. You’re not exactly feeling like an egghead, but being intellectual can make you a pretty penny.
