Flattering someone in order to get what you want is a completely legitimate tactic, but if you rely on it too often with the same people, it’s going to start to backfire. If you need to ask someone a big favor or enter into a sensitive conversation today, don’t be overly obvious about just how smart, attractive, clever, witty, or whatever else you think they are. Just be blunt and up-front. It’s an unusual approach for you, but it’s one they will be very happy to see.
You’re likely feeling unusually protective when it comes to the realm of romance, whether you’re unwilling to take a risk with your heart or guarding a friend’s best interests. Follow that instinct.
Take some time today to evaluate what’s working in your relationship and what you’d like to change. A few little tweaks could make a good thing even better while resolving some long-standing issues.
Are you pushing onward and upward or are you running around like a chicken with its head cut off? Stop and take a breath. Make sure your need to rush ahead is based on more than desperation.
