You know, by now, that romance isn't all daisy chains and chocolate wafer crisps. Sure, any romance worth its salt is going to involve flowers and sweets, but there's a lot more to it. Honesty, compatibility, communication, maturity, the ability to put the others' needs before your own -- these are the bread and butter of real romantic connection. The 1st and 2nd, you have a chance to reflect a little bit on just what you've got and what you're still looking for when it comes to finding true love. By the 6th and 7th, you have a sudden insight -- are you always hesitant to be truly honest because you're afraid that if your romantic partner sees you for who you are, they won't like you anymore? And you understand suddenly that that's just not going to cut it? Great! Insights like this are going to make the 8th and 9th really terrific, highly romantic days. By the 13th, if you see something you like on display in the shop window of romance, by golly, go inside and check it out. The 19th and 20th, call them. The 26th and 27th, let them call you. The 31st, wrap up the month with a little bit of very honest romantic assessment.
