I've heard about all of these rules that are out there regarding dating. There is the "wait three days to call rule", for example, in which the guy is supposed to do the calling but he's supposed to wait three days before making the call in order to keep the girl interested. Although, in my experience, men don't actually wait three days. They tell you that they know they are "supposed to" wait three days ... which they tell you in a phone call made the night of the date or the following day. Perhaps that's what the real rule is and I just haven't been kept up to date.



In any case, there are all sorts of rules that are supposedly dictate relationships, rules about everything from what to wear to when to have sex. As for me, I've never bothered to learn the rules well enough to play by them. I'm kind of a "this is what I want, take me or leave me" kind of personality. But I hear that a lot of people play by these rules. So do you play by them? Are there certain ones that you play by and others you don't? And how do you decide?
