Intimidation is a paradoxical thing. Usually when someone is trying to make you feel powerless compared to them, they’re actually feeling insecure and worried that you have too much power over them. The person who tries to intimidate you today assumes that there is always a power struggle to be won. Rather than avoid this person, connect with them. Don’t be aloof. Kindness is the key to defusing this potential time bomb. Show them they have nothing to fear from you.
Sure, love is mysterious and all that, but in order to enjoy having your head in the clouds, you’ve got to have both feet on the ground. Get grounded now about who you are and what you truly want.
Look beneath the surface to really see where your partner is coming from today. Give them time to open up to you and you’ll be amazed at how much stronger your connection becomes.
Face it, it’s time to lower the bar. It doesn’t have to be a sizzling affair anymore for you to show some interest. A low, slow heat should be fine with you. Consider it a long-term investment.
