It’s not in your nature to go overboard. But just this once you’re feeling like nothing would be too extreme if it would get the point across to your sweetheart, the point being that you care an awful lot. Still, if you’re not careful you could actually scare that special someone away, the same way you’ve been scared away by other people in the past by being a bit too eager. Easy now.

Leave the same old compliments and tired red roses to those with more impoverished imaginations. You’ve got the creative power, not to mention the love oomph, to do it differently and better.

Loosen that grip on the past. Yes, your relationship is in a different place than when you two first started dating, but that’s a good thing. Like a shark, forward motion in a relationship means you’re alive and kicking.

Everyone’s acting flighty in these economic times. Try not to scare off the investors. Honesty is still the best policy, though, so don’t discard any extra details just because they’re frightening.
