An introverted person is intriguing to you right now, and it’s going to be tricky to get them to come out of their shell. Your best approach today is humor. Make a joke that they and only they can understand. Sharing a laugh is a great way to share a moment and start a conversation. And if your first try doesn’t get them to open up, don’t worry. Show them your sweet side often enough and they will eventually let their walls down. They might actually be more outgoing to you are!

Seek sparks of the intellectual variety. Sure, talking about stuff like celebrity gossip is fun, but you’re way beyond that right now. What turns you on is the open and challenging exchange of ideas. You’ll have no problem finding someone who feels the same way.

You can argue about this topic repeatedly, or you can resolve to let bygones be bygones. Frankly, working it over like a dog with a bone isn’t yielding many results, so why not figure out a different approach?

Don’t let people know how much you want something. That should have been covered in Negotiating 101. In case you missed that day, you should know by now that salivating is a dead giveaway. Playing it cool is more likely to get you the goods at a price you can afford, so act the part even if it takes every ounce of effort in your being to do it.
