It’s just puppy love.
It is just infatuation.
Put on your thinking cap.
Give this some serious thought.
Let’s put our cards on the table.
Let’s be honest with each other.
You put the cart before the horse.
Put first things first.
That will put a feather in his cap.
This will be a credit to him.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Don’t depend on just one thing.
It’s raining cats and dogs.

As a rule of thumb I refuse.
Generally I refuse.
It’s pretty run down.
It is in bad condition.
He needs a security blanket.
He always needs reassurance.
Seeing is believing.

We will need to start from scratch.
We need to start at the beginning.
I don’t want to steal his thunder.
I will let him break the good news.
She tried to steal the spotlight.
She wants undeserved attention.
You must stick to your guns on that.
Your idea is good - stay with it
He’s just a stick-in-the-mud.
He is too old fashioned.
You won’t strike it rich.
This idea won’t make you rich.
You need to strike while the iron is hot.
Do it while the opportunity is right.
