Making a fresh start with someone is proving to be much more challenging than you initially thought it would be. Moving past grudges and hurt feelings is taking longer than you’d hoped, but the reward for your efforts will be larger than you expect. Resign yourself to the fact that it’s going to take you time to dig through those deep feelings in order to move beyond them. This person deserves a second chance, and you need to do whatever you can in order to give it to them.

If you’ve got your sights set on one romantic candidate, take a step back and reconsider the field. Why not keep your options open and cultivate a few more prospects at the same time?

More art makes you smarter. And expanding your mind and your intellectual boundaries helps keep the romance sparking in all the right places. After all, the brain is the biggest erogenous zone.

Your impulse is to rush out and spend even more money, but you shouldn’t indulge it. It’s only insecurity that makes you feel like you never have enough, no matter how hard you try to please. Whatever you didn’t have time to shop carefully for can be considered too late to buy.
