There's a fine line, between patience and
obstinacy. If you put too much pressure on
someone, you inadvertently, can store up
a hornets nest. Under the circumstances,
wouldn't it be wiser, to wait a while and
give it a rest? You'll not make it any better,
by being persistent, as it can have it's
repercussions, to be sure. Let time pass
for a while and the person you're interested
in, will stop being demure. Everything takes
time and being kind to others, starts with you
first. When you have accomplished that, you
no longer will feel, that hunger and thirst!
