It’s wonderful that you want to connect with a certain someone so badly, but are you trying too hard? Step back today and retreat from your charm offensive. You’re not usually this aggressive, so why send this person an inaccurate message about who you are? Be patient and natural. Let them come to you in the way they want, and, most importantly, at the speed they want. Waiting won’t be fun, but your reward will be sweet, and it will be genuine.

The workings of another person’s psyche can seem endlessly fascinating when you feel like this. Make sure your scrutiny doesn’t seem too clinical or impersonal. After all, you want to keep this person by your side!

Deepening connections are what a relationship is about. The small things bring the two of you even closer. The odder and more unusual the situation the better! Let yourself relax even if this isn’t your usual thing.

Don’t go shopping today! You have a major grocery list to deal with in just a few short days. For now, try cutting corners in old-fashioned, time-honored ways — like making your own lunch and cutting coupons.
