Some of my single friends and I recently discussed The Rules<\/a>, a handbook for dating based on traditional gender roles. I don’t want to give that book too much airtime here, because I think it’s hooey. However, you’re welcome to follow the link if you’re curious what The Rules are. So I decided to make my own list of Rules, and this is what I came up with so far (although I will admit that I’ve not followed any of these very rigidly…):<\/p>\n

\nDon’t talk about dates on Twitter (or on your blog)
\nDo add your date as a Facebook friend
\nDon’t add date pics to Facebook (unless it’s a group date or a special occasion)
\nDo google your date before you meetup
\nFirst dates are over coffee
\nSecond dates are lunch
\nThird dates are dinner
\nDon’t go to movies on dates
\nPay for your half of the tab and expect your date to do the same
\nDo bring up a feminist topic on the first date to judge your date’s reaction
\nDon’t date anyone who doesn’t read books
\nDon’t date anyone who doesn’t cook
\nIf a good date, follow-up with a friendly email or text message
\nDon’t talk about exes on dates
\nDo have fun and be yourself (don’t pretend to be someone you’re not)
\nDon’t date anyone who only talks about themselves
\nDon’t go rock climbing with someone who’s never been before <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
