There’s only one way to let your family members know just how much you love them and how close they are to your heart. Unfortunately, it might mean canceling a date with someone you’re definitely not related to, someone you’ve been looking forward to being alone with for some time for a bit of well-deserved romance. Unless, of course, you’re brave enough to bring the two together. Oh, why not? Might as well find out from the start if they’re compatible. It sure will save some time later on.

Having trouble breaking the ice with your crush? Sometimes writing a friendly message is a lot easier than saying it in person. Flirt in emoji!

You may be half of a couple, but you’re also an independent spirit. Today, indulge in something that’s just for you. Why not watch that movie your partner doesn’t want to see? You can take up the whole couch and you won’t have to share your popcorn!

It always pays to read the fine print, and you can’t be too careful these days. With times as lean as they are, assume everyone is tempted to slip in a well-hidden caveat or two. Glossing over the details would be a big gamble.
