Every day as I get older I realise about how little I actually know about life. I realise previous rules, thoughts etc just don't add up.
So if you look at your dating rules, criteria for sex etc etc Are they any good or are they nice idea, sound sophisticated but really just a load of tosh.
Alternatively have you inherited rules from friends and family and are you living there dreams.

i think you need to stop thinking about romance so hard hun! When it comes to choosing someone - obviously you have a wish list of requirements - but at the end of the day if you meet someone special enough - you'll get over it if they dont match your criteria!
I think the best bet is to have a mental image of what you'd ideally like your potential partner to be like - but if you hit it off with someone - dont dismiss them if they dont tick all the boxes. xx

After my divorce I had a bit of a wild time dating lots of people. But I realised I wasnt getting anywhere wasn't meeting people I really liked. So I drew up a some rules for myself. I had an 'A list' set of rules - these were 'must haves' and a 'B list' which were the nice to haves. A lot of friends took the mickey a bit but I was adamant.
On the 'A list' were things like tall, good looking, creative job, likes to dance, likes to go to the theatre, likes good food, intelligent
On the 'B list' were things like speaks well, likes seafood, creative hobbies
Soon after drawing up my list i met my partner and I still get amazed at how many of the 'B list' he hits - he had all the 'A list' criteria.

If they have a head, 2 arms and 2 legs - they are a possibility. With dating, its best to keep an open mind - you dont know you've found 'the one' until you meet them. If you're blinded by silly, petty rules in your head you could be losing out. Its not all about what a person looks like - its personality that really counts xxxx

Well I think we all have a set of rules that we will never break. They are things like our values and morals. If you meet someone that is totally out of the ballpark of your values you dont give them a second thought. Then there are rules we have that change as we get older. Those are more superficial things that loose importance and others take its place. Life is ever changing and what our rules are change along with it. Life is constantly learning and making changes as you learn.

Yes there's a real sense that the more you know, the less you know!
Although it is impossible to take out and examine all your rules, it is worth spending a little time, regularly, reflecting on what you are aiming for, and what you are accepting as good. We all get into ruts, and it is rarely that there is nothing that can usefully be changed...

I think i know what you are saying....and i believe i do have some
of my " rules " because of the way i was brought up. I have also
developed some on the way i have been treated in past. I think you learn as you go.
