You’ve been looking for someone to have a legitimate conversation with for days. That means no gossip, no stories from the past, and no pleasant, shallow banter. That might be nice on other days, but right now you’re after something more along the lines of the meaning of life and how the Universe began. If you find someone who’s game, you might also discover you have a lot more in common than conversation.

Are you involved with this new flame, or are you just helping them sort things out? Maybe they need a personal assistant instead of a date. It might be time to move on to a better prospect.

Why ask the question if you don’t really want to know the answer? Be clear about your needs. Tell your partner you need a compliment, and fast.

There’s not much you can do today, so you might as well give yourself the emotional and psychological day off. Doing little can be therapeutic if done right. A long nap, conversations with friends, a book — anything but counting your money or your lack of it will be a healthy way to pass the time.
