When you’re out to audition a new friend or lover (and don’t even try to pretend that you aren’t), in your book, there’s only one way to cut to the chase. You put them to the ultimate test: the Scrabble board. If they flinch for even a second once it appears, forget it. They’re obviously not worthy. If they know what to do with the Z and the Q, you might actually have met someone who’ll give you a run for your money. It’s time for some fun.

Don’t be lazy when it comes to love! The more you put into it (talking to lots of new people, going to lots of new places to find these new people ,and so on), the better your odds become.

Your relationship is like a screwball comedy now. Witty repartee, absurd situations, and (yes!) spicy romance are popping up in the unlikeliest of places. Being in love with a person makes you fall in love with life.

Making friends in high places seems easy, effortless even. Is it you, or is the whole group looking for something new? Either way, take advantage of the unusual atmosphere.
