If any sign is ordinarily the very soul of discretion, self-control, and discipline, it’s you. Still, it won’t take much arm twisting to talk you into a little recreation at this particular moment in time. It will take even less persuasion if you happen to be at the mercy of someone you’ve been dying to spend a few quality hours alone with for a long time. Go ahead. But lose the guilt first.

Impulsiveness leads to jealousy, most likely from the person you’re dating. If you’re out there flirting with everybody you see, you’re probably not ready for a commitment. Break it off before you hurt their feelings.

Believe it or not, there’s a difference between asking for something and demanding it. Sometimes you can be a little too familiar with each other, and that can hinder communication. Break out the politeness.

Feeling like the captain of your own ship used to make you feel powerful. Now you feel like you’re stuck on the shoals, or worse. You may not be actually capsizing, but the fear is enough to rock your boat. Calm down.
