The best way to repair damage to a relationship is to be a good friend to your partner. Instead of pressuring them for physical affection, enquire after their hopes, dreams and fears. Lending a sympathetic ear will pave the way to intimacy. It will also help to relieve their burdens. Running errands on their behalf is a great way to demonstrate your concern. Once your amour realises you are being sincere, their defences will come tumbling down. Are you single? A platonic relationship could become romantic.
