Rule 1: You have to wait three days to call or text after a date

This is one of the most common dating rules, and it's completely outdated. In today's world, there's no need to wait three days to contact someone after you've gone on a date. In fact, it's actually better to send a text or call within 24 hours, while the date is still fresh in their mind.

Rule 2: You should never sleep with someone on the first date

This is another outdated rule that doesn't make sense in the modern world. If you're both consenting adults, there's no reason why you shouldn't sleep with someone on the first date if you want to. Just be sure to use protection and be aware of the risks involved.

Rule 3: You should always split the bill on a date

This is a rule that has become more popular in recent years, but it's still not necessary. If you're a guy, it's still considered polite to offer to pay for the date, but you don't have to if you don't want to. And if you're a woman, you shouldn't feel obligated to split the bill if you don't want to.

Rule 4: You should never date someone who is your friend's ex

This is a rule that can be difficult to follow, but it's important to remember. If you date someone who is your friend's ex, it can put your friendship in jeopardy. It's also possible that your friend will be jealous or upset, which can make things awkward.

Rule 5: You should never date someone who is younger or older than you by more than a certain number of years

This is a rule that is based on outdated stereotypes. There is no reason why you can't date someone who is younger or older than you by more than a certain number of years. The most important thing is that you're both compatible and happy together.

Rule 6: You should never date someone who has a different religion or political beliefs

This is a rule that is based on ignorance and prejudice. There is no reason why you can't date someone who has a different religion or political beliefs. The most important thing is that you're both respectful of each other's beliefs.

Rule 7: You should never date someone who has a child

This is a rule that is based on fear and stigma. There is no reason why you can't date someone who has a child. In fact, many single parents are wonderful people who are looking for love and companionship.

Rule 8: You should never date someone who is divorced

This is a rule that is based on outdated beliefs about divorce. There is no reason why you can't date someone who is divorced. In fact, many divorced people are looking for love and companionship just like you are.

Rule 9: You should never date someone who is unemployed

This is a rule that is based on materialism and snobbery. There is no reason why you can't date someone who is unemployed. In fact, many unemployed people are looking for love and companionship just like you are.

Rule 10: You should never date someone who is overweight or obese

This is a rule that is based on fatphobia and discrimination. There is no reason why you can't date someone who is overweight or obese. In fact, many overweight and obese people are looking for love and companionship just like you are.

The rules of dating are constantly changing, and it's important to remember that there are no hard and fast rules. The most important thing is to be yourself and to find someone who is compatible with you. Don't let anyone tell you who you can or cannot date. You deserve to be happy, and you deserve to find love.
