Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

when would be the best time for me to open myself up to a long term partner?
and received a response of:
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the first hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The changing lines
The sixth line:
No signals:
the end will be misfortune.
1 Heaven
The Statement of the second hexagram
Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
The Image of the first hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
