Tonight, I check our compatibility before meeting them tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I’ll meet my partner’s parents for the first time. Before worrying about what to say or how to look, I check our compatibility.
Scenes
- Thinking about tomorrow, I open the compatibility reading first. — On the night before meeting my partner’s parents for the first time, I’m more worried about how well we fit than the words I’ve prepared.
- The thought that I have to make a good impression comes before anything I say. — Even after asking my partner what to wear, I hold on to the thought of what might happen if I get it wrong instead of waiting for the reply.
- The first thing to look at isn’t whether you match. — When I look at compatibility, I notice where the two people react differently before I consider whether they supposedly match.
- A different reaction isn’t a wrong answer. — One person may speak right away, while the other thinks before answering. Looking at compatibility helps you notice that difference in advance.
- Tonight, write down just one separate line. — Beside “I have to make a good impression tomorrow,” write one attitude you want to hold on to. Seeing both lines together shows you what you want to choose.
- Compatibility doesn’t choose tomorrow’s right answer for you. — It's okay if your words tomorrow aren't smooth. Meeting with your differences in mind shows you what to check with each other.
