Dating is an excellent concept ,However i just can't understand the millions of different "Dating rules".
I am Listing 9 Rules i come across for reference:
On the whole, men seem to be more confused than women when it comes to dating. However, the essence of these rules is assumed to be the same for everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
Rule One: Sexual intercourse changes every rule. Nudity of one party or both parties can in some cases modify the rules.
Rule Two: Every rule has an exception or two or three.
Rule Three: The ambulance-chaser rule. There is an appropriate waiting period after someone breaks up before you can ask them out. I am unsure as to exactly what this waiting period is, but I know it is longer than five minutes and shorter than a month.
Rule Quatro: The rebound rule. Never, ever date people who are not over their last significant other. This is bad. You will be forced to listen to stories of love lost and told you can't go to Applebee's because he used to take her there.
Signs she is still holding a flame: She refers to his current girlfriend as the whore from KU, and she is mysteriously busy on weekends he is in town.
Rule Five: As Olympia Dukakis said in "Moonstruck," "Don't shit where you eat." Try your hardest not to date anyone you work with.
Teachers should not date students. Bartenders should not date servers. Checkers should not date baggers.
The only possible exception to this rule is if the individual you wish to date works in a different department or section of the organization than you. Even then, use extreme caution.
Rule Six: The I'll-call-you rule. Men seem to have a particularly hard time with this one.
Let's say after a night of conversation, a woman gives you her number and tells you to give her a call. It is appropriate to call the next day; you will not seem too anxious.
This first call should be a casual call, and you should include your name and the location of your first encounter so she can definitely identify you.
You may at the time of this first call express your intent to call again later in the week with plans for a date.
Rule Seven: The sisters, aunts, cousins and mothers of women you have dated are off-limits unless you live in Arkansas or certain counties in Mississippi.
Her best friend is a no-no, as well as the sisters, aunts, cousins and mothers of any of your friends.
The rule that is eight: The rule of who pays. The man.
To hell with women's liberation. If you are the man, and I am sure you know how to tell, you will be footing the bill unless otherwise arranged before the date. In same-sex relationships the person who asks for the date pays.
Ninth in the list of rules: Follow your heart. Rules are meant to be broken. We can't all be as lucky as ferrets, but if you bite someone in just the right place you might get lucky.
See what i mean ,this is just a begining to it all and i am so confused i dont know what to follow.
I am single and have had 2 dates in my entire 26 years of life.
One date was hardly a date and more a fling and the other was the first date ever and it turned out to be a 3 year relationship.
The fling post breakup was just that a fling.. a rebound to release pent up anger over being cheated by an idiot(the south indian)
The fling as i realised was too poor to even release body heat. It was at best described as something which left you feeling "was that really it"???
So now im on a celibacy mission and my count being so dismal that i decided something was wrong with the world im in and Celibacy is the way .. the "IN" thing.
I wont say it's bad, its just that suddenly you feel that 5 or more months of celibacy and you want to explode.
Dating anyone new is such a nuisance
1)you have to attract someone's attention
2)you have to dress up for the effect
3)get a wax(ouch)brazillian wax(super ouch)
4)witty and intellegent conversation( i blab nonstop )
5)Hope as hell he is excellent in bed or atleast a good kisser
6)The fear of when to ahve sex? the minute the date is over or start with sex?
7)I am 110 pounds and 5.2" in height i do have my squishy flab lovingly sticking to my bones and get a complex being with a guy who gym's everyday... I feel like a Jelly
8)God forbid you blush red when the guy you have been secretly fantasizing about ask's you out.. How Naive will that look.
9)once the dating status is confirmed, mind whizzes to what next
10) ooh screw it.. this list will never stop
Well to think so much trouble for one date.. and this is not the end.. Why have we created such silly stupid rules which do nothing but make your head spin in confusion.
And who said Celibacy was bad? I think im enjoying it.. (let me answer that when im feeling tiny pin pricks of frustration ) already thinking of purchasing a vibrator off annsummers.com.. get stuck between the rabbit or the other ones.. Hmm need to decide..
In the mean time.. Celibacy ROCKS!
