You tried everything but the direct approach so why not give it a shot? It won’t be nearly as off-putting as you fear. You might even get somewhere.

Everything you say and do is just right. Don’t ask why. Just follow your instincts and trust in the power of the Venus/Mars trine.

You’re not good at sitting and waiting. It makes you fidgety. Indulge in a mindless activity while higher-ups make up their minds.

If a prospective client is still hemming and hawing after all the courting you’ve done then just walk away. This forces them to hop off the fence.

Is a certain someone really uninterested? Or did s/he not get the message? Better to text than to suffer in silence.

It’s useless trying to anticipate every contingency. You’ll only tie yourself up in knots. Go with what you feel in your gut.
