Now I reckon if they love it, they would say so instantly.
They want to love it.
It would make things so much easier for your relationship if they love it.
They’re probably nervous about giving you feedback and praying to either find something they like about it or nice adjectives to soften the blow.
So if there’s a pause we can cross love off the list.
Now there’s still a chance for ‘really like it‘ and ‘like it‘ but unfortunately love is out of the running.
