Mixing business with pleasure isn’t a wise move right now, so if you’re thinking of cooking up a romance in the workplace, turn off the heat ASAP. Get back to work and stop spending so much time at their desk. Things are all coming together on a big project, and it looks like you’re going to hit a home run, perhaps even a grand slam. Invest your energy in something that will definitely help you, not on someone who might distract you from important things.

If someone is asking a few too many questions about your love life, there’s no reason to answer. Be polite and then rush off to an imaginary appointment, even if it is just with your next cup of coffee.

It’s time to take a stand against what someone else expects (or takes for granted) from you. Heck, stand up against your own unrealistic expectations. It’s time to rethink how you two interact with each other.

Hard work is its own reward, but don’t worry, it pays off today, too. In fact, the compensation involves much more than money. If you’re single, you may meet someone through work.
