If your significant other doesn’t like onions, you blend it into the food. Meet yourselves in the middle.
If your S/O doesn’t like sleeping with light on? The middle ground is usually that you should get an eye mask.
If you’re clingy and they aren’t? You cling a little less, they lean in a little more. That’s usually where the middle is found.
If you love PDA and they don’t? Dial it down a little, they dial it up a little. Meet yourselves in the middle.
Life isn’t hard, date considerate people that actually like you.
