have reached a stage when you want to develop greater intimacy with each other. It is a real sign that things are getting serious. No matter who initiates the move, if both of you plan a holiday together, even if only for a short weekend, it means there is an underlying understanding that a more permanent commitment might well develop. But holidays can also break relationships, so make sure you are both happy with the destination. Be careful here about each other’s

preceded by the both of you exchanging house keys, granting access into each other’s private spaces and even taking the occasional shower or bath together. Being comfortable with each other’s physical space is an important part of commitment, and living together as a couple is the ultimate commitment that is just short of getting married. In the past, such an arrangement between couples would have been unheard of, especially in the more traditional countries of Asia. And indeed, amongst certain cultural groups, this is still very strongly frowned upon. But the morality issues of the world are fast-changing and even in conservative Asia, dating couples living together is becoming increasingly common. Many look on this as the testing ground of their relationship. Better to know before getting married and having to go through the messy business of divorce.

FENG SHUI TIP In addition to the same sleeping direction advice given earlier, it is extremely important to give your love pad a quick feng shui makeover, placing emphasis on the entrance door facing directions as well as the bedroom locations. In the bedroom, watch out for poison arrows - sharp edges and overhead beams directly threatening the two of you in bed. Defi nitely make sure there are no mirrors directly facing the bed, as this is something that causes third party intrusion into your relationship. It is a good idea to place a love symbol such as the double happiness sign near your bed if you want the living together to develop into marriage. Also a couple of love birds will be helpful.

DRIVING EACH OTHER’S CAR – T is is just one of many diff erent indications that trust is growing between the two of you, this plus a genuine desire to show tangible indications of wanting to please one another. When your boyfriend lets you drive his precious car, you know he is serious about you, that he does see you as someone he might want to spend the rest of his life with. But do not get too carried away; do treat this all-important step in your relationship with care.

real trepidation. Both sides are wanting to make favourable fi rst impressions, which do count a great deal, so the way you dress, the way you carry yourself, the way you talk and so forth can make or break the relationship. If your boyfriend has a formidable mother, you would do well to let the older lady take the lead. No need to talk too much or try to show off any aspect of your work or background. You can let a potential mother-in-law discover your attributes slowly. And do understand that many of today’s successful women do go out of their way to be extra nice to the young women their sons bring home to meet them. It is advisable to play it low-key at fi rst meetings; do not be too judgmental and let your boyfriend create the mood and ambience.

FENG SHUI TIP Wear a bright colour that is astrologically suitable for you. Do not be excessively loud and go easy on the makeup and jewellery. Avoid wearing total black as this does the relationship little good. Remember that good feng shui always advises that less is more. If you can, have long clean hair, as this will bring you excellent feng shui. And wear just a tiny bit of rouge on your cheeks. T is also brings you good luck in this situation.
