1. If you think you might be more than 10 min late JUST CALL and let me know. It just shows me that you respect my feelings and that you are responsible

2. If you don’t think you can stay faithful to me BREAK UP WITH ME. If youre not into me enough to just be with me, youre not into me enough and shouldn’t be with me

3. Never EVER lie to me. I will find out and whatever you were lying about is nothing compared to adding to it the fact that you can not be trusted and wish to insult my intelligence, feelings, love etc and thus the ensuing rage, disappointment, disgust, distrust in you and your love and feelings for me. Is doing whatever it is you need to lie to me about really worth losing me over?

4. don’t ask or expect me to do something for you that you wouldn’t do for me.

5. Be there to back me up if I need you to but don’t forget that most of the time that just means you being there and not that I need or want you to take over for me.

6. A sincere apology AND sincere attempt to change behavior (sometimes meaning doing something to earn back just as many points as you lost plus some and NOT doing it again) can fix just about anything…' the rest of the time its just one of those days and I just need you to listen to me whine, give me a kiss on the forehead and hold onto me until I feel better.

7. Tiffany’s is great and probably wont get turned down but simple notes left on the bathroom mirror or some place silly for me to find are worth much more.

8. When we get into an argument, the surest sign of respect for me and our relationship is if you still show respect. don’t call me names or forget the golden rule. If you take your day out on me you are basicly shitting on my heart. To me my heart is like money. It would be foolish of me to entrust it to someone who even in hard times does not continue to be conscious of its worth and fragility. An emotional bank account is more important than a monetary one. Pay your debts, be aware of how you can build credit, continue to check dividends and investments etc

9. KNOW that you can trust in me to do all of these things for you.

Really these are my rules for *first* dates:

1) Don't commit to spending several hours with someone you've never met in person before. Always leave yourself a graceful exit.

2) Always let someone know the name and phone number of the person you're going out with.

3) Go someplace where there will be something fun to focus on besides your date. This is especially important when dating shy geek boys.

4) Dress comfortably.

5) Have one or two drinks.

6) Pay your own way.

7) Say goodnight before you get tired.

8) Send a thank-you email the next day.

9) If it doesn't work out, think of someone you know that you can introduce them to who might be a better match for them. Perhaps they will return the favor.

I NEVER date a girl I can't pick up.

My exclusive attention has a high value. It must be won over time. No matching method can just assign a match.

Follow your gut instinct. It's smarter than your mind can be alone.

Expect the best.

Prepare for the worst.

Communication is good. Both between daters, and with the rest of one's friends.

The Golden Rule of course.

Never get too afraid to try, or too afraid to continue contact.

Don't try to breath life into a relationship that does not meet your standards. Keep your standard reasonable but at least high enough that every side of your relationship nourishes you.

Don't bite your tongue, just say what's in your heart. Dating someone is inviting them into your heart. What's in your heart is her business.

There's a few for now....

Don't date people who remind you of your parents. (But don't tell her if this is the problem)

Don't date anyone in Marketing...

No smokers

No adultery

None of your own kids around until you're sure about the other person

hahaha Rules.... don't be absurd... rules are for people who take life a bit too seriously..
here's a good list.

1. She must laugh... and too great lengths, this will come in handy... later...
2. She must realize that undeniably.... life is a hillarious joke...
3. She has to enjoy physical contact.... hahaha (not sex...although...) none of this call me bulshit... too impersonal...

ok thats it... oh that and don't date anyone more than five inches shorter than you.... you'll be risking a spranged neck.... and nobody wants that...
ah well
