intro to the rules

What are the rules?

if you go to the self help section in any bookshop, you will find multiple books dedicated to relationships, whether its maintaining one or obtaining one to begin with!  My girlfriend introduced me to one specific book called "the rules: capturing the heart of Mr. right"  i read the book instantaneously and became ecstatic and eager to spread the information from this book onto the rest of my girlfriends!  what I've learned thus far with the rules without getting too into detail with them , is that its probably best to take some of them and leave some of them.

i will sum up the rules in one short paragraph 

Men are hunters,  you cannot deprive a man from the hunt!  Ladies, you cannot pursue men!  if they are not coming onto you, its probably for a reason!  men like a challenge, if you take this away from them, your cutting the relationship short.  you are doing a man a favor in the long run by letting him long for you.  don't be available!  don't answer his phone calls and rarely call him back.  do not see him more than twice a week in the beginning of the relationship.  be mysterious but honest! rules girls are honest!  act like you live this happy exuding life!  be light and breezy and never mention children or marriage!  he should initiate these conversations and introduce you to his friends first!  never go dutch on a date, let him pick the place and make all the plans!  sound crazy?  i thought so too at first, but these rules have been proven to work.  its basically an old fashion style of dating.  we will weed through the rules and see what to take and leave behind:)

I like the rules, but I was confused at first. You should have told us from the very beginning that there are rules to snagging a man. And then talk about the book and then break down the rules. Also, this post is very sloppy. Proofread,and watch your punctuation and spelling. While this is supposed to be a free flow form of expression, there is no excuse for so many sloppy errors.

HEY! WHATEVERRRR. i disagree, I like the hunt too! No, I LOVE the hunt. Personally i think those rules are a tad outdated, Guys seem to like it when girls approach them, i think? i do notice that my intentions are always misconstrued, hmmm.
Well, all i know is, i do love the hunt, yet when it comes to guys apporoaching me, i do the whole "mysterious" thing, but i dont think most guys like that and they condsider it fickle, no more games ahhh please.
But then again what do i know, Ive been single for quite some time now.=/ whatever. I am sooo content with my "exuding life"!

I have to respectfully disagree with 'the rules.' It all depends on the person that you're interested in. Some guys like being pursued, and hate having to choose anything...especially a restaurant...to some guys food is just food. I say this because I practically hit my boyfriend over the head with a club and dragged him back to my cave. Luckily, he didn't fight me. We were literally inseparable from the moment we started dating. And...he hates having to make any decisions, which works for me. I guess it's also important to mention that we've been living together for over 9 years now. I think these 'rules' work if you're trying to date a macho type of guy, you know the sports loving kind, but if you're looking for the sensitive type, they prefer you to be direct and not play games. And, let's face it, these rules are the rules of 'the game.'

I must admit that these rules have worked for me as a guy because some girls don't know the rules. But the area where the rules gets merkey is when you really like the guy and so does the girl, but there so busy playing by the rules that the relationships go nowhere.
