Answer 1

Dating Rules - Do's

1. try to look your best and be punctual on dates

2. Do have fun when dating. I know the subject of Mr. or Miss Right is serious but dating is fun too so keep it that way.

3. Do flatter and compliment your date on the way they look and the things they wear. People tend to go to a lot of effort on a date (hopefully) so being told that you are looking good is a nice thing to hear.

4. Be interested and interesting. I was never bored because I was never being boring" or something similar. You get my drift.

5. Do tell someone if you are not interested in dating them again. Being lied to and hopes kept alive is an evil and malicious act (yes I mean it that strongly). If you don't want to see someone again then let them know that in the nicest possible way you can.

6. Do date the type of people you like and are attracted to, whatever your friends may say. Approval by your peers doesn't prove a thing.

7. Do stay positive even when dates don't end well. It is most certainly true that you will date a few frogs before you find a prince. Along the way you will meet some nice people too and make some good contacts possibly.

8. Dating is a creative diversion, it requires concentration and energy so when you are dating keep some plans in the forefront of your mind and allow dating to take you to places you always wanted to visit within your own city.

9. Do make dating happen for yourself. People will not come and ring your bell from nowhere. Dating requires positive action so go out there and meet people, as many people as you can. Practice your chat and flirting on shop workers, bar attendants, anywhere and everywhere. Being nice to people is very sexy and great fun.

10. Do surround yourself with positive like minded people who are also dating. Think about the girls from Sex and the City and how they assist each other in dating and matters of romance. Negative friends who don't condone the dating scene or don't understand it will only help lower your own expectations and make you feel negative.

Dating Rules - Don'ts

1. Never call someone more than once a day unless they reply. Desperation and instability are huge turn offs.

2. Don't date the people who you usually find dump you. You may be generally attracted to bastards but that will not get you anywhere except hurt.

3. For men, never ever be late for a date, even if you have a very good reason. Women should never be kept waiting and should never have to seat themselves - ever.

4. Never tell lies to your date or pretend anything about your life that isn't true. If this is your perfect match for God's sake do not allow it to be ruined by some silly lie told early on.

5. Never be too available. Being available every night of the week and at the end of every whimsical phone call or possible rendezvous means you are making yourself uninteresting and a possible doormat. Be busy, be unavailable generally and be interesting.

6. Don't give away too much about yourself at the start. People love enigma and mystery. Revealing to your new date your inner most secrets on date number two will quickly ruin everything. A small bit at a time people.

7. Never check other people out when you are with your date. You may think you are subtle , your date will be heading for the door. Have the courtesy of concentrating solely on your date when you are with them.

8. Don't be rude or get drunk on a date. Courtesy and manners will get you everywhere.

9. Don't ignore your personal safety when dating. Have a cellular phone and keep it charged, tell your friends where you are going and be safe. Date at first in well known public places and never ever be pushed into anything you are not happy with.

10. Don't give out personal information like home phone numbers and addresses on a first date. Keep them until you are sure of your date and the future possibilities.

11. Don't have sex on a first date if you ever want to see your new date again. If you like them and are interested in them, sex on a first date will usually ruin everything. Its too much too soon and is not the way of romance. Believe me I am 100% certain on this.

12. Never date a married person. They will not leave their husbands or wives for you (except exceptionally rarely). Married dating is the sure fire way to misery, lies, deceit, lack of self respect and loss of romance. If you are married, separate first. If you are single, don't be a shoulder to cry on, you deserve far better.

Answer 2

Here are the rules I followed when I was dating:

1. When someone asked me out on a date and I didn't want to go, I was very gracious and kind in saying no. Being asked out by someone is something I considered an honor, and I never wanted to take that for granted. Also, when a guy asks a girl out, he is risking utter and total humiliation, and gracious, decent people understand this and act accordingly.

2. I never dated anyone who didn't have the same beliefs, values and goals that I did, because that would be a waste of his time as well as mine.

3. I never insisted that the guys who date me be perfect, as in super good-looking, super rich, have a high-powered job, etc. I looked for men who were kind, mature, got along well with others and who took pride in what they did for a living.

4. I didn't expect to be treated like the princess and have my own way and get lots of expensive dinners, gifts and things like that. And when I realized the relationship wouldn't go anywhere, I just said so.

5. When a guy broke up with me (which might have happened just once, if at all), I took it like a lady and didn't call him, stalk him or speak ill of him. (You know I'm kidding about not being dumped, right?)

6. The other issues people face when dating, such as sex and drinking and overnight visits and things like that never applied to me because I always dated people with the same values as me when it came to stuff like that, and I've lived on my own since I graduated from high school and went away to college, so I've always made my own rules as far as how late I'm staying out and where I'm spending my time.

7. I've made lots of mistakes, even when following my own "rules", and I've had lots of personal heartbreak, but I finally met my husband when I was 35, and believe me, he was worth the wait.

Answer 3

There aren't any set rules to dating. Dating is a hit and miss deal. I don't think anyone uses the same rules when it comes to dating because everyone is different. Just follow your heart and instincts...you'll be fine.

Answer 4

After the age of 35 there are no rules. There is however, life experiences. You date according to your last experience in a relationship.

I am truly free spirit and believe that if love is present then we should go for it, life is to short. Then again I am over thirty-five

Answer 5

well, that's depands, if you are woman, the rules are less than a man. you don't need to do much, you just need to dress to impress , polite and be beautiful. but you if are a guy, you have to a lot things, a friend , a lover, and sometimes a spoiler. oh¬¬ don't be late on a date. you should get a pair of nice shoes, girls love shorts. tidy. oh trim your chess hair, or laser it, if you have any. it's no cool. nor sexy

Answer 6

The rules are what you will or will not do on a date. If you do not know than you are not ready.

Answer 7

Respect yourself first. Then, have the same respect for your date. You try to cater to her likes. She trys to reciprocate. Don't force yourself on to your date. Be a caring person. If the relationship lasts you have been a proper gentleman.

Answer 8

More like someone who makes me want to make up some rules....

Answer 9

It depends on your intentions and expectations. If you are dating as a prelude to a relationship, just be yourself, not phony. On the other hand if your objective is just casual sex, playing someone you're not might be an effective one-time ploy.

Answer 10

I think the rules for dating is never show up late on a date.
Never let the girls pay money for dinner. Please don't try to be funny when you are not.
