3 Simple rules for dating in 2013

As the new year comes upon us (and many single going into the new year) I have made 3 simple easy to follow rules when it comes to dating in 2013…

1. If he/she can not call he/she is not worth the time.

So many of us get caught up in daily life so much we forget the simple rules. Yes this is the information age and while everything from shopping to company meetings are conducted via text it doesn’t mean your love life should. Any potential suitor wherever male or female that wants your attention should at least have the balls enough to CALL and arrange a date. So rule number 1 is NO TEXT ALLOWED (for setting up dates).

2. Leave boyfriends/ girlfriends/ husbands /wives/ secret gay lovers in the past.

At some point in your new relationship or pre-relationship, you know those awkward dates where you haven’t established what exactly you two are, well sometime the conversation may shift to why you are single? or what happened to your EX will come up. A brief “we didn’t work out” or a simple “we found out we weren’t compatible” will suffice. Bottom line is leave the past in the past. Many relationships are ruined by you yourself comparing your ex. to your “next” and no matter how you slice it you don’t win. If your ex was a loser you “next” may come to think your broken and no one wants a broken person for the new year. If the reverse happens, meaning you tell all of these great stories about your ex your “next” will feel they can never stack up.

3. Establish what you are as soon as possible.

This one should be a no brainier ironically it’s not. Too many women think just because you see someone everyday or talk to them every-night that they are in a relationship. Well I have news for you, you’re not IN a relationship until you both can conform your IN a relationship. This one tip saves future couples a lot of time, also many men wonder this question as much as women do but are often to nervous to ask. Bringing this topic to discussion ASAP can eliminate a lot of misunderstandings  However if you are seeing someone that can’t talk about this. You should be seeing someone else. If the person you’re seeing can’t commit to a simple little title early. The chances are slim to none that they will commit to a BIG title later.
