5 Not-Too-Serious Dating Rules

For some reason, women tend to overanalyze things when it comes to dating and relationships. After each date, for example, we call our friends and talk about every little detail of the event. This is fine. After all, we get clues to a guy’s personality through the things he does. Unfortunately, overdoing the analysis can take the fun out of dating. To help remind women to loosen up and allow themselves to laugh, here are some quirky dating rules:

1. You can be superficial.
If the guy you’re dating shows up wearing a shirt that looks as if it’s been mangled by wild animals or if he wear too much jewelry, you are allowed to do whatever you can to cancel the date. You can ask a friend to give you a call on your mobile phone and pretend that there’s an emergency situation you have to deal with. You could also just tell the guy that you’re not feeling well.

2. You can keep score.
There are things that you want a guy to do for you such as opening the door, helping you get seated or carrying your handbag. You can come up with a scoring system and give him points for the things he does right. It’s up to you to decide what score would earn him another date.

3. You can judge him by his handshake.
They say that a person’s handshake says a lot about his personality. If the guy has a light handshake, then he’s probably shy or indecisive. If he has a strong grip, then he’s confident or arrogant. Figure out if your date has a handshake that makes you want to get to know him more.

4. You can demand attention.
You’re allowed to feel resentful when a guy spends most of the time on his mobile phone during your date. Unless he’s dealing with genuine emergencies, then it’s your cue to cut the date short and just hang out with your friends.

5. You can show your boredom.
You should always be polite, but you shouldn’t keep on pretending that you’re having fun if the guy you’re with is boring. The worst kind of guy is one who keeps asking you juvenile or self-absorbed questions such as “Do you think I look good in this shirt?” It’s not your duty to cater to his ego. You should not be burdened with his insecurities on a date. It’s just not right.

If there are too many things about a guy that bothers you early on, then it’s most likely that you two are not meant for each other.
