It’s okay if your patience is running thin with a flighty friend, and it’s okay to take a break from spending time with them. Relationships go through phases, and it’s just not healthy to pretend that your feelings for someone else never go through changes. Right now, you need to clear up your emotions about this person and get your distance. Figure out what they add to your life, and figure out if you are adding anything to theirs. Are you just friends out of habit?

A willingness to compromise helps smooth a situation. Everything doesn’t have to be win or lose. With the right approach, you can make it so you both come out happy.

Introducing a new idea into your tandem dialogue – whether it’s an abstract intellectual concept or a plan for the two of you – gets good results at the moment. Start a fresh discussion!

Without risk, there is no return. But be careful of taking wild chances. Your choices should be systematic, not haphazard, so do your research.
