Are you and someone close acting more like enemies? Whether it’s a friend, colleague, or the love of your life, relations might have a certain dangerous vibe right now. It’s easy enough to defuse, though. The trick to solving this problem is to take your egos out of the equation and focus on what really matters most to both of you. Once you do that, the solution should reveal itself almost by magic.

The last thing on your mind these days is long-term plans, and that’s a great place to be in. Consider whether you’re enjoying each flirty conversation in the moment, not whether you could settle down with that person!

Now is not the time to bite your tongue. If you have a reaction, don’t suppress it. Even if it’s a little over the top, your partner will have a much better idea of where you stand.

It seems like your hard work is never going to pay off, but if it isn’t now, it will be some time soon. Just hang in there and look for small signs of change in a positive direction. They will start trickling in.
