You’re reluctant to yield on anything but that won’t get you what you want. You need to adopt a more flexible approach.
Facts may support the other side, but if you put your own special spin on events then your version will surely win out.
This is an excellent time to commit to a partnership or association, because this person’s no slouch. Anything begun now will go the distance.
Fence-sitting isn’t helping matters. Telling someone no is hardly pleasant, but it does allow this person to look for a yes somewhere else.
It’s not like you to give up. You always fight to the end. But yielding now throws an opponent off guard while positioning you to swoop in later.
You’re ready to make amends, however the other party isn’t. Just be patient. This person will eventually come around.
