The Situation

"She says she can't accept a proposal until mercury is out of retrograde"

The Brutal Truth

Her saying she can't accept a proposal until mercury is out of retrograde reveals avoidance tactics and a lack of readiness for commitment. It's a way to sidestep addressing deeper feelings and fears about intimacy. Don’t ignore this escape route—trust your gut.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling tighter, trying to convince her that the timing is perfect or attempt to prove their worth. This is wrong because it enables her avoidance and shows they're willing to chase someone who is emotionally unavailable, eroding self-worth.
