It’s sad but true: romance requires hard work from time to time. And there is quite a bit of work required in your romantic life right now. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll need to give your partner a little bit more than you have been giving. Compromise will bring the two of you closer. And if you’re not in a relationship, it’s time to work a little bit harder at making that connection with that person you’ve been talking to a lot lately. Kick it up a notch.

Make absolutely sure you’re treating everyone in your life with the respect they deserve. Using people for your own advantage, even a little bit, puts a serious dent in your overall love karma.

Roses are red, violets are blue, write a poem for your partner when actions won’t do. Show off your literary side with romantic rhymes. Better yet, a funny limerick.

You are a good friend. You remember the small details and can tell when someone needs a favor before they even ask. Those kinds of qualities can’t be measured, but you are proving yourself to be invaluable to a certain someone. The buzz makes for quite a good day.
