The New Rules of Love
I’ve been saving this……LOL I heard this on the radio about two weeks ago and I only got the first five but there’s apparently some book out with the New Rules of Love. So I thought I’d share what I got with you……
1. Super-picky is the way to go to find that Prince. People who do speed dating and online dating are less likely to find love.
Obviously there are going to be exceptions to that rule, but if that’s the case, I should have found my prince by now.
2. Don’t put your best foot forward. Show him your flaws.
When you invite him over to watch movies, I suggest your uglies t-shirt and yoga pants (mine have paint stains on them).
3. Don’t hide your neediness. Be Honest about it.
ok…I guess this goes back to #2. Stalkers need not apply.
4. Leave him alone when he’s down. Don’t bug him about what’s wrong. He’ll forever associate you with that bad time in his life.
“Honey, I’m so sorry you got fired. I can’t see you tonight. I’m going out with the girls.
5. Sorry but this is a big DUH. Don’t have a baby to save your relationship! Apparently your happiness quotient drops off drastically within three years of having a child, so having a baby to fix the relationship isn’t going to help.
Gee, I wonder why. So what do you think? Are these total bs? And what are your rules of love?
You are correct total BS, or someone trying to make a buck off BS. LOL
How about be yourself and if there’s chemistry then it was meant to be. It’s a lot like the books we write. You just know when you meet someone if you’re suppose to be with them or not. It’s really all about the chemistry. And once the chemistry fades, leaves either a parting of the ways or something more permanent.
It’s pretty much BS, lol.
(and BTW–if you’re that ‘needy’, you need to work on yourself–not a relationship…).
(and BTW part two–if you’re naive enough to think a baby would save a relationship, you don’t need a kid–you’ve got a lot more growing up to do yourself…)
I don’t think there are any ‘rules’ of love. Every person is different, every relationship different.
But then, I’m no expert.
SAndy!!!!!!!! How are you babe?
I totally agree about the Chemistry–too bad I faiiled Science
Raine….LOL me either!
Great flip flops! ;) And what book is this?!?
The couple of times I relied on chemistry, the lab blew up, so I’m leery. Maybe I should try something else. The online thing doesn’t work for me either.
I think most of it is BS. The biggest obstacle most people have to finding love these days is actually getting out to meet people (well, me anyway). I’ve pretty much given up finding anyone soon (its been 13 yrs) for myself. I write so I can live vicariously.
“Honey, I’m so sorry you got fired. I can’t see you tonight. I’m going out with the girls.”
I totally LOL’d at this!!
I think it’s kind of BS. Men don’t want needy, clingy women. They want head-strong, intelligent women who can take care of themselves. BUT! At the same time, I think it intimidates them somewhat.
Lynn, the online thing didn’t work for me either. They were a bunch of weirdos and losers and NEVER my type. Then again, I like the strong, sarcastic, older type so…you know…
MY rules of love:
1. Don’t ask me stupid-ass questions when I tell you I write romance. I’ve covered this before.
2. Don’t tell me what to do when I’ve already made up my mind to do something else.
Chemistry is definitely a must. I really think you have to get along out of the bed, as well as IN the bed or the relationship is totally doomed.
