If you need to deliver some negative news to someone today, take them out to lunch or dinner to discuss things. Not only will the comforting food make them much more receptive to what you have to say, but being in a structured situation will encourage more discussion — no one’s going to stomp away when they haven’t finished their dessert. You two need to talk this thing out, and figure out how things should move forward. Oh, and you should pick up the tab!

Look for romantic advice from the least likely people today: your family. That older relative might offer up some amazing insights. Hear them out, then try taking to heart what they’ve got to say.

Don’t put your partnership into a tailspin by a lazy lack of attention. Discuss all the finer points together before getting started on a new project.

Coworkers are browbeating you, but don’t let yourself be rushed. Take your time, especially with money issues. Some things just can’t be rushed, no matter what day of the week it is.
