Would you DO THAT?

Rules of Conduct

A lot of people including myself have lost sight of what Dating actually is and what it involves, you know like the rules and conducts of dating, like: DO I KISS ON THE FIRST DATE?

Well, in my boredom, I allowed my imaginations to run wild and this is what I think!

Dating

This is the stage after boy meets girl, numbers or bb pins are exchanged and you start talking and getting to know each other.

Ok, so depending on the level of attraction and where you are at the time like emotionally, psychologically and all that, this stage should NOT take more than 8 weeks.

Dating is only to determine whether or not the other person is worth entering into a relationship or courtship with.

Of course after a first or second date, you may decide he/she is the one, still DO NOT rush to the next stage, take the time to date and enjoy each other before all the heavy stuff relationship/courtship brings.

If you’re NOT feeling the person…just END it but amicably.

 These are MY rules I follow:

• All dates should be out and NEVER at home (your or his)
• Contact can be made as you please but its still early days so minimise telephone conversation and keep some mystery and intrigue
• MAKE TIME to see each other and spend time together
• Explore each others interests and experience new things together
• Be open and make sure both parties UNDERSTAND that you are ONLY dating therefore there is NO commitment
• Keep your options open
• If you are dating other people, be open with each other and respect each others decision
• DO NOT discuss your OTHER dates with each other AT ALL after its been put out there
• The Only form of bodily contact or intimacy should start with a hand shake and END with a HUG
• DO NOT KISS him/her. This leads to other things and may confuse and/or rush things
• Control EMOTIONS (girls I don’t care if you’re on your period, allow the sudden outbursts)
• Share the bill or (girls) at least offer to pay sometimes. This demonstrates maturity, independence and assures him that you can hold your own and him when he can’t.
• Unless its work or family, DO NOT pick calls or play with your phone when your together
• DO NOT make ANY introductions when dating (yes this includes posting pics up or changing your relationship status on FACEBOOK/TWITTER to ITS COMPLICATED). You don’t know where you two are going to end up and by bringing others n before you are will confuse things for you. WAIT TILL YOU ARE SURE
• Keep things casual NO deep dark secretes or confessions (yet)
• Be honest BUT hold back heavy stuff for if/when you get to the next stage
• When you feel like you want to move on (either to the next stage or NOT) discuss it, talk, be open about your reasons for your decisions and please LISTEN to each other you WILL learn something from each other.
