A SCENE TO THINK ABOUT
A moment you might recognize
You prefer a dependable shared plan that leaves the rest of the day open. If it stops feeling comfortable, you may consider the problem privately before asking to change it.

How you fall in love
You can make a practical, sincere first move while keeping a realistic pace. Let the other person know that space and commitment can both belong in your offer.
