You could encounter one or two very intriguing people during the course of your day, in person or online. If you start talking, don’t make it all small talk. Go deeper. Ask a few penetrating questions that require more than a yes or no answer, and be prepared to get the same in return. It will be fun to challenge their opinions, and you’ll have a ball defending your own.

You’re harboring a little white lie that’s starting to eat away at your conscience. Maybe it’s time to fess up and admit your fault. And you might just be surprised. This person already knows the truth, so don’t sweat it.

Learn something new that will wow your partner later. Perhaps a massage class is in order. Or master the fine art of belly dancing. The sexier your new skill, the better for both of you.

You’ve become too used to socializing to get back into the work-a-day world. You don’t have to become completely self-sufficient, but a bit of time to yourself will come in handy. You have numbers to go over, and that’s way more than being a good conversationalist.
