The Rules

As someone who was very busy in high school with a full schedule and over protective parents, I didn't really get into the "dating" game. I had a couple of middle-school relationships where we held hands and attended school dances, but it wasn't until my senior year in high school that I had a real boyfriend. He went to the same private university that I had applied to and it all seemed fine.

He was just the first of three long-term relationships I've had in the past 5 years. It was just recently that I found out about "The Rules." My best friend had just come back from a date with a girl he liked and asked me what I should do. I suggested he call/text her the next day, but my roommates (all male) said that was ridiculous and that my friend should wait until she called him. This made no sense to me; I thought if my friend wanted another date with this girl, he should call her and ask her out. Apparently men and women are ignoring what they want in order to follow someone's "rules" or "game."

If you really want to get that guy/girl, following "The Rules" is not going to work. At least not for long.
