Your relationship
Sensitivity to the warmth of words and the mood of a place may nurture a quiet closeness. The more you consider each other, the easier it can be to read too much into a response and hold back the truth.
As romantic partners
A brief question about how the person feels now can keep fine consideration from remaining only an assumption between you.
As friends
Asking once what someone means can leave a path for conversation beneath gentle hesitation.
As colleagues
Agreeing on time for consultation can keep both people’s wish to prioritize the other from breaking focused work into fragments.
