- QTIP it: Quit Taking it Personally if they reject you.
- Be kind if you reject them.

Carolyn, I love your mother’s tip. And we can change our mind.
Thank you, JoAnn! Yes, that is an important one! I actually illustrate it in date #1, so I need to get it into the tips. These may grow and change themselves!
Great tips! But they all assume you actually WANT a relationship and are willing to work for it. I remain ambivalent . . .
Yes, Jennifer – exactly! The tips work best for people who want to be in a relationship enough to look for one. I love that reading them helped you realize that you are ambivalent about that goal!
