It’s about time to get to know yourself, don’t you think? This is especially true if you find your friends and family have definite opinions about what you should do with your life, romantic situation, or anything else. Ignore the mixed signals that are coming your way and sit down and think about what it is you want to do rather than what you feel you should do. A little extra research will be especially useful when it comes to professional conundrums.

Don’t be too proud to call first. The “wait three days” rule is for the faint of heart, which you are decidedly not. Take your own approach in your own inimitable (and lovable) way.

Be sure and think twice about that shiny new thing you two are just itching to purchase. Whether it’s big or small, if it’s expensive, double-check your funds.

If things like money and possessions never held any sex appeal for you, you aren’t alone — although society may have you believing otherwise. Bling is out and the basics are in. Enjoy being one step ahead of the crowd.
