The social games used to be fun and charming, but lately they’ve become too predictable and tiresome. It’s time for a change of plan. People who are all talk and no action need to be avoided. Instead, you need to spend more time with people who commit to things and know how to follow through. Align yourself with people you can depend on. Shifts happen from time to time in relationships, and this is a necessary one.

Good sportsmanship isn’t just for tennis, you know. It’s very important in badminton, squash, and romance. Tie on your tennies, give them a big smile, and shake hands.

Your agenda is pretty packed. You’ll have more fun with your partner by your side, so persuade them that their presence is necessary. They’ll end up having a much better time that way, too.

Blocking it all out is too extreme, but do stop thinking about your finances for a while. Get some exercise, putter around the house — anything but pouring over the statements.
