It’s time to stop putting off that conversation you’ve been dreading. If you feel like sharing your thoughts about someone with someone, then do it honestly. The critical things you have to say are just as valuable as the positive ones (if not more so). Just remember to be tactful and use your diplomacy skills to deliver your message without hurting anyone’s feelings. It will feel good to get everything out into the open. It’s a valuable way to show this person you ultimately respect them.

Once you let go of any subconscious expectations, you might find that you and your date start having a lot more fun. Making it up as you go along is the key to finding – and keeping – romance in your life.

Don’t be too keen to solve this unfolding mystery in your relationship. After all, it’s the surprises that keep things fresh between a couple. Just remember that jumping to the wrong conclusion will only hurt matters.

Convincing yourself you’ve had a good day takes more effort than it’s worth. It’s easier and smarter simply to write if off as a loss instead. In fact, your financial losses are a lot smaller than your emotional ones if that’s any consolation to you. Work on licking your wounds.
