Okay so I'm bored at work, and purposely left my phone at home today. I need entertainment! Anyways, I'm new to the dating scene (last year or so) and really the only rule I have is regarding sexual relations. The earliest it would happen is the 4th date (and that's if I'm feelin it). Do any of you have/had rules regarding dates, or a dating relationship? I.e. texting, appropriate time to date before expecting something official, etc. Curious and maybe I can steal some. I have a tendency to overtext and send long text messages (I'm an English major so could write a book lol) and I'm trying sooo hard to stop. One of the reasons I left my phone at home actually! :blushing:

Put out on the first date.0

Rules are too limiting. I prefer to wing it and do what feels right to me.

#1 RULES ARE STUPID......how about 2 people just go out and have fun, call each other if they want to talk and have "relations" when they are ready to have "relations"... I'm a grown up I don't have time for teenage dating games ... (no offense to the OP but rules drive me nuts)0

No rules. I just do stuff.0
-
I usually play it by ear but I try not to 'have relations' within the first few dates.0

I have been married for 26 years. My opinion? Go fishing. Thats the only rule.0

Does and don’t in Romance
Do tell her you like her skin
Don’t tell her you want to wear it…
Do tell her after a while in relationship how you are jealous of her shoes because they take her away from you
Don’t tell her that you wish to wear her shoes so you could be with her every step of the way, on the first date…
Do tell her you love how she looks in her sleep
Don’t tell her this while looking through her houses window from outside at 3 AM…
Do tell her how smooth she feels after shaving
Don’t ask her if you can have the hair for making a doll that you’ll be using later on…
Do workout with her at the gym
Don’t start licking her sweat telling her you will be returning her the fluids later on…
Do kiss her feet
Don’t start biting her nails saying “mmm, crunchy, kinda like the chicken bones”
Do surprise her with champagne
Don’t put roofie in it and then kidnap her, keeping her in the basement, collecting her belly button lint and feeding it to her and her cat and when the cat gets nice and fat from the lint, shaving the cat and making a wig out of the hair.0 -
I used to have dating rules when I was in college. Now that I've grown up a little and realized that not every situation is black and white, I tossed the "rules" out the window and I'm a lot happier for it.0

Rules are silly. Why would you limit yourself?0

I'm a helper.0 -
I see you're a big texter.
Don't text the guy you're dating with inane bull****.0 -
Don't call your wife! Hate when they do that.0

As long as the person is of the human variety, I'm ok.
This rule is negotiable.0 -

I'm not into "rules," per se, but there are definitely things that will happen (or not happen) that will suggest how compatible we are. I would never make a list because then I'm basically creating a test for him to pass or fail. I just want to get to know who he is. It shouldn't be a test. You either find each other attractive and enjoy each other's company, or you don't.0

Wouldn't you use e.g. in this instance?0 -
Haha so the consensus is that the only rule is to have no rules! I guess I was thinking more about habits. I understand the whole go with the flow thing, I just have heard others (outside of MFP) share some of their do's and dont's.0

My how things have changed since I was single...0

Maybe I should have specified. I'm an ENGLISH LITERATURE MAJOR. My focus was on literature. My grammar is less than perfect. Thanks though!

Yea, kids all over these lawns and stuff.0 -
If a girl eats more than me at the restaurant I'll propose0
-
main rule is be yourself .... unless you are some crazed nut job who has a star wars fetish ... if that is the case them be someone else.
Really just be yourself. If you don't fool around until the 4(ish) date, be that person.if you over text, be that person. I say that because I am at the age where I do not like finding out on the 7th date that the person is a nut bag. save everyone, including your self, from that.0 -
I was out with some friends last night who pointed out that I'm overly dependent on my phone. So I decided to give myself a little break.

^ this. i'm new to dating too. only been dating for the past 1.5 years & i am 28. the only rule i have is i don't "put out" until he becomes my boyfriend.0 -
I don't like rules. Just be yourself and be open/honest - better that IMO and have a few people not like it, than someone like you for who you're not. Because at the end of it, if something comes out of those dates, they're going to see the true you anyway 0

Rule #1
Don't date girls who have lists of rules and a list of everything they want in a 'perfect' man.0
