The bad thing about conflict is that it can make communication feel like a minefield. Who knows what reaction the next thing you say will trigger? But there’s a good thing about conflict, too, especially if you’re having it with someone who you find terrifically attractive, and that is that with friction comes heat! So don’t shy away from an argument with someone you’d like to get to know better. Arguments can evolve into very sweet conversations.
Enough of this “I don’t care” business. If you have a preference, state it. Believe it or not, the interested party will be relieved that you spoke up about it. Take some responsibility.
The strength of your own feelings and reactions may surprise you now, so just think how they might strike your partner. Don’t suppress it, but do find some alternate ways to work the energy out.
Don’t point fingers at anyone but yourself. You’re the one putting yourself on the back burner. Don’t sit around and stew. Take some action, even if it’s only exploring the new, unfamiliar terrain.
