Before you get hot under the collar when something outrageous happens, do yourself a favor and stop for a moment to review the situation. Things that affect you might not be directed at you, so don’t take anything personally. Be objective, analytical, and cautious. Listen to your conservative side and don’t get caught up in the heat of the moment. Most importantly, don’t do anything rash today that you might regret tomorrow.

Ask yourself some hard questions about your rules. If they don’t make sense, shake things up! If you never make the first call or insist on a long chain of messages before a first date, ask yourself if it’s working.

If you’re finding the current situation more frustrating than stimulating, it’s time to pull your partner aside and say so. Chances are they don’t even know it’s bothering you. Once they do, they’ll be able to help.

What constitutes a good day is based more on personal preference than money. You will be equally miserable with or without the cash if you don’t plan your activities with a tip of the hat to who you really are and what you really want.
