The Dating Rules

Here’s a list of Dating Rules, in no particular order. Keep in mind that they apply to me and may not necessarily apply to ALL women. I’ve been on the dating scene for a while and I’ve meet some great guys and some not-so-great dudes; it allowed me to learn from my experiences and to find out what I like and what I don’t like. It a good starting list if you’d like to date me! You feedbacks and comments are welcome!

1. All women, regardless of their size, are sensitive about their weight. I’m no different. Don’t tell me you normally like your woman to be skinny, you may be injured.
2. I need to get into shape but I have no willpower in that department. Understanding, help and support is needed.
3. It would be nice if you offer to drive. I like to sit on the passenger side, with my hand on you thigh while I enjoy the scenery.
4. It’s ok if you don’t call, unless you said you would. Do what you say and say what you do.
5. It is better not to comment on the cleanliness level of my place ~ unless you’re willing to hire Molly Maid. I’m doing my best but I have other priorities…. and I hope you do too!
6. ALWAYS put the seat down and refill the toilet paper if needed. Check in the cupboard.
7. It's very nice of you to pick up the check, but let me pay sometimes.
8. Don't make me pay all the time.
9. Show me you can be a gentleman and know about chivalry: hold the doors open for me. You will score extra points if you know that when walking on a sidewalk, a man should be on the street side to allow the woman to be safer on the inside.
10. Do not call me if you’re drunk.
11. Do not drop by if you’re drunk.
12. Apparently you’re funny when you’re drunk ~ but actually you’re the only one who thinks so.
13. I can have fun without being drunk ~ I would expect you to be the same. If you need to be drunk to be with friends or to have fun, you have a problem and should take care of it. Call me back when you do.
14. Help in the kitchen is sometimes expected and always appreciated.
15. I was told I am a good cook and I hope you’ll enjoy my cooking. I’d like to enjoy yours too once in a while. Extra points available here.
16. I love experimenting with new recipes, but if you don’t tell me you didn’t like what I prepared, I will serve you that dish again….and again. Speak up!
17. Do not give me power tools for special occasions ~ only my father can and he has spoiled me in the past: latest one is a self–propel lawn mower. I hope you know how to use it. Extra point opportunity for home maintenance work.
18. Do not give a me an ultimatum to choose between my pet and you ~ you might not like the answer.
19. Sunday morning is relax time for me: I enjoy brunch while reading the paper. Rushing to the gym is not part of it. Brunch at a restaurant deserves extra points.
20. I enjoy greasy spoon places but you can earn points for taking me to other restaurants not using paper napkins.
21. If there is a “connection” between us, we should have plenty of things to talk about. But if you decide to tell me about your ex-girlfriend during our first date, it tells me you have no intention of seeing me for a second. I have a lot of experience as the rebound-girl and don’t seek to get more!
