Set goals, such as one date a month, to disrupt potential stagnation.

Try sending a low-stakes message to this person to test the waters instead of living in your head here.

Address it to the fire and move on with peace.

It’s time to prepare a response to their next move, even if that means documenting everything. Drop the blindfolds for good.
