If you’re not in the mood to whoop it up, you’re not going to be much fun doing it, are you? This is the logic you should use when you tell your friends that they should count you out of the latest big social scheme. You’re feeling more introspective right now, and the idea of going out and making small talk with strangers isn’t striking you as the recipe for a good time. You need to do what you want, not what they want you to do.

When choosing a romantic partner, you can’t quite decide between the cake or the frosting. Unfortunately, neither is good for you. Right now, just let passion be your guide and enjoy yourself.

Finances can be a tricky area in a relationship, but it’s better to address those issues now. Left untended, they can turn into a sticky mess. If you tackle them now with honesty, you’ll skirt any potential fracas.

Spend time with people while you can, because financial matters will dominate your thoughts soon. Until then, let your personal relationships energize you and refill your tank.
