The Dating Rulebook

Yes ladies, we all want the perfect man. We all want our prince charming on his shiny bright, white limousine and we all want to keep him. Next to wherever we want him.
But everything requires tact and yes, resolution. But before you start rolling your eyes, I must explain that this isn’t primarily about finding Mr. Right or finding his second car for that matter.
It’s about keeping Mr. Right and making it work. I know, all relationships are different and then obviously require different kinds of ways, you know, to make them work! But some rules never change. The basic, fundamental rules are the elementary ones for all relationships and unfortunately the ones we tend to overlook most of the time! But no time to mope ladies! Here are my 5 cardinal rules for the relationship of your dreams unless you’re dating a cat or, your hand. They’re both really difficult to comprehend and generally to understand, you see!

So…

1- Never ever let him know of how much you dislike his folks. Elementary ladies, they might be from hell but they’re still his family and if you like this man enough to actually want his family to be a part of yours, be nice!
2- Listen to him. Yes, we know men should be told this but women tend to be really inattentive at times as well so listen to him. Thoughtfulness pays, and how!
3- Mention your ex’s once in a while. That reminds him that you have a past and expect a future; even if you don’t badger him about him constantly. And also that your life doesn’t revolve around him. (pay extra attention, if it actually does)
4- K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid! Okay, okay, that was lame but you get my drift right? Men are uncomplicated creatures and admit it; they help uncomplicate us at times. So, relax, and take it easy! We all deserve sanity don’t we?
5- Most importantly, always know what you both expect out of your relationship. Unless it’s a super exclusive case where it’s the sanest to keep it dangling for the moment. Talk, communicate and let each other know!

So, there, you have my rules of wisdom! Of course, irrespective of what everyone says, some things only you would know answers to. But remember, honesty, respect and communication. The HRC trio never fails unless again you’re dating a cat or your own hand in which case you really should get out more often!
