If it makes you feel warm, snuggly, and well taken care of, you need to try it even if it makes you feel faintly ridiculous at the same time. It might lead to an unexpected purchase, but that’s okay. You’re after quality, not quantity, and you definitely won’t settle for anything less than what you need. It shouldn’t be a major effort for you.

If you want to make a great first impression, just relax. Nothing ruins things faster (for you, at least) than the appearance of desperation. Even if you’ve got to fake it, try not to look like you’re totally obsessed.

It’s fine to want to help your main squeeze, but check yourself to make sure you aren’t wrecking yourself in the process. Is this behavior verging on the compulsive, unhealthy or enabling? Are you avoiding your own problems?

You’re not sitting around waiting for the rest of the world to convert to your way of doing things. You’re more proactive than that. Showing people just how superior your way is will save everyone a lot of time and suffering, not to mention money. Get out there and communicate your own gospel.
