Playing hot and cold with a partner won't get you anywhere. Take some time to review your feelings. If you want a partnership, be honest. Pretending not to care will do a huge disservice to the object of your desire. Summon your courage and ask for a date. Propose a romantic outing instead of casually asking to hang out together. Making your intentions known will get this romance off the ground. Are you in a relationship? Stop pouring all your energy into friendships and plan some candlelit dinners.
