Keeping the peace simply isn’t your job, so don’t take on any additional burdens by trying to ease tense situations. Your compassion is admirable, but if there’s a conflict today, you need to do your best to avoid it. Resist your urge to step in and make these people talk to each other or try to come to an agreement. This is something you aren’t a part of, and you should stay out of it. Let them work out their problems on their own. You can’t help..

Someone you’ve been checking out is definitely responding today, so take a tiny risk and ask them out. Anything can happen if you go for it, but you know for sure what happens if you don’t.

Is cutting a check really as bad as you’re making it out to be? If you look at it differently, you’ll see it’s actually not that awful. In fact, it should make you proud. It puts you in a position of taking care of some of the needs of those around you, even if it’s in a round-about way.
