The Rules

Most people have certain things they try to avoid when in a relationship. Some to avoid complications, some to avoid commitment, some to keep from getting hurt..etc. Regardless of the rule, the use of such rules is intended for people to keep a safe distance from a particular feeling or type of person. I, myself, am more guilty of most of creating a set of rules to avoid complications with the opposite sex. Though, I admit, I have bent and broken most of these rules due to various exceptions.

I felt it necessary to share my rules in hopes that if you currently don't have a set for yourself, I could inspire such a set guidelines for your own dating life...


Rules of Engagement:


1). No Back to Backs

I don't see the same girl back to back days (i.e Monday/Tuesday) Gives false sense of monogamy


2). No PDA


I never do PDA (public display of affection)...creates false sense of intimacy


3). No Family Functions

I NEVER, absolutely NEVER do family functions...creates false sense of commitment


4). No Day Dates

Avoid Day Dates like the plague...women don't go to coffee with guys they want to sleep with!


5.) Unless asked, NEVER talk about yourself...


Self-Absorbed people may tend to be the most attractive, but they are also the most obnoxious


6). Steer Clear of the Friend Zone


You might be cute, cuddly and dependable...but so is a teddy bear or a nice bowl of ice cream so don't become a security blanket



7). No Cooking for or Shopping with...



Sure, making an effort shows her you care, but it also opens the door to become either a doormat or great Friend



8). Maintain the unknown

Rely on the unknown to keep things interesting...because knowledge equals comfort, comfort equals complacency, and complacency is just a fancy word for being very bored!!

9). No Bartenders, Servers or Bar Rats

You're either getting conned into buying drinks or taking on some serious baggage...They're in that situation for a reason!

10). Allure, Attract and Avoid

Probably the most important rule as we all want what we can't have, so the longer someone thinks they can't have you, the more they want you...
