Original Advice
“DONT: Don't test them with silence or vague hints.”
Stop Freezing Them Out
Stop using cold as a test. Your silence isn't strategy; it's avoidance dressed as power. You disappear, waiting for a chase, then resent them for not reading a blizzard of hints. That isn't mystery. It's static. You want heat but shut off the pilot light. Call it what it is: a dare you hope they lose so you can feel right about leaving.
Tests breed distance, not devotion. People don't decode; they default. In the cold, momentum dies, stories multiply, and your own temper turns on you. You lead best when you go first. Name the want. Name the bruise. Set a line and stand by it. Direct heat forges metal. Ice just numbs. Clarity can sting and still keep the connection alive.
Cosmic Context
Cardinal fire initiates, it doesn't lurk. Mars wants contact and motion; games freeze your own flame.
