5 Dating Rules That Should Not Be Followed

The dating regulations of the 1990s are no longer applicable. So, let us enter the new dating scene, where everything is quick and real… provides a list of 20 regulations that you must immediately STOP following

Allow the male to start first.

Okay, I’m not sure who said it… However, this is the pinnacle of patriarchy. Why should a man be expected to initiate everything? The world has advanced significantly, and so should you. In fact, there are men who take offense when they are expected to follow stereotyped “male” dating standards, and there are courageous women willing to take on all challenges and initiatives.

The bill is on him!

Nonsense. When two individuals go on a date and both of them earn their own money, I don’t understand why a man should cover the full tab. Sure, it’s good to have someone else pay your bills, but this can’t be a rule, can it? This rule is as old as time, and simply not required at present.

Her lady love should be picked up by the man.

Yes, you may recall some vintage films in which the woman loved to smile from the balcony as the man waited at the front door in his automobile to pick up the lady from her house. But in today’s generation, when you’re both autonomous and strong, there’s no need for you to choose each other. You can both agree on a mutual meeting place and time. Maintain a buffer of 10-15 minutes, but no more.

Do not refuse the initial meeting.

Don’t believe it… believe me, there’s no time to say no. If someone makes you feel uneasy on the first date, you can leave immediately. You don’t have to wait several days, then disappoint yourself even more before saying NO. Yes, everyone earns a second chance, but if that second chance is given to the wrong person, they can wreak havoc on your mental health and happiness. You have a choice.

Even if it is uncomfortable, dress up.

People frequently proclaim, “No Pain, No Gain!” But, for the love of God, cease bringing career principles to dating. It’s all about relationships here. You will either be sharing love with a partner who merits you or you will walk away single. In either scenario, your clothes should not be a problem. Yes, you must appear clean, tidy, polished, and well-groomed, but this should not place you in an uncomfortable and oppressive situation.
