Long ago you stopped believing that if you stepped on a crack you’d break your mother’s back or that opening an umbrella indoors was bad luck. So why are you holding on to old superstitions about romance? There are no tricks to pull or mistakes to avoid. All you need to do is communicate your feelings clearly and calmly. Stop playing games and reading books to know what to do. Your heart knows what to do, so you should start listening to it.

Keep your eyes peeled in the hallways for interesting people. You might meet someone through work. Dress your best and be on the lookout. Meetings might get a little more interesting.

Stop focusing only on stormy clouds and not their silver linings. The gloomy perspective is beginning to taint your relationship. Let the sun shine in.

Your personal decisions can afford to be all about what’s important to you in life, but when you’re handling other people’s money, you have to check your personal philosophy at the door. Or do you? There’s a way to do what feels right today. Find it.
