Time is weighing a bit heavily on your mind, and all of your clock watching could prove distracting. Deadlines, expiration dates, and looming appointments don’t have to steer you off track, though. Just set your alarm an hour earlier. Try to live in the moment. Don’t worry about what’s coming up in the next hour, day, or week. You do have all the time you need, but you’ll have even more of it if you stop wasting the moment on being preoccupied with the future!

This person just isn’t your type, but other than that, do you have any objections? If not, then what’s the harm of going out on one date? Expand your horizons. You might discover something or someone great.

You’re full of good thoughts about your partner and your relationship, and you don’t really need to worry about how close they measure up to reality. That will take care of itself.

Being accepted and understood by your friends makes life worthwhile. But what you’re up against isn’t going to forgive you your little foibles. In fact, each of your shortcomings earns you a penalty. You can’t even use your intellect to find common ground, so don’t bother with anything but cash.
