The Rules

It is interesting to hear, especially the older and the more single that one becomes, the interesting "rules" that individuals abide by in the dating world. These are the mysterious philosophies that singles seems to abide by, and yes, they seem to become more specific as time goes on.
Ok here we go, dating philosophies and the "rules" that we hear about...
Don't sleep with him/her on the first date
! or not until the 7th date! or not until you have been going out for a month!
Do not call her until the day after the date! Two days after the date! Three days after the date!
If a boy/girl asks you out on a Thursday for a Friday or Saturday, tell him/her that you are busy. Never accept a date offered on the same day it would occur.
Offer to split the bill. The man always pays.
Never cancel plans with friends for a guy.
Don't talk to him/her about other girlfriends. Be open and honest about yourself. Never tell them too much, always keep them guessing. Never be too available or too unavailable. Make him leave one or two messages before you call him back.
Dates should be short and sweet and leave him wanting more.
Know who you are looking for.
It will happen when it is supposed to.
Project an image into the universe of what you want to find, it will be like casting a net.
You'll only find someone when you are at peace/happy with yourself.
I can say that these are true for me~
Don't call too much.
Don't buy me a birthday present when we have been out once.
Don't tell me that I am running away and must not be ready to be in a relationship because I do not want to spend any more time with you when we have been together for six hours already.

That is actually two words.
And for the record, I will not say what methods I endorse.

"Project an image into the universe of what you want to find, it will be like casting a net."

What the fuck kind of tree hugging hippie bullshit is that?

Interesting how those rules seem to be focused on getting more dates. My rules are designed to weed people out as fast as possible, since dates cost money. And in this Bush economy, who can afford dates? Besides the independently wealthy like Elliot Spitzer?

"Make him leave one or two messages before you call him back."

This one is in direct conflict with one of my rulses - if the 'ho don't answer, bitch is DELETED!

Finally, was it at least a nice birthday present? Like a wireless router, for example?
