Dating Rules to Ditch

Dating Rules You Should Ditch

From Tesh.com

There are a lot of rules in the dating world, but some rules need to be broken. Here are dating rules you should ditch faster than your last bad date. This comes from Match.com.

* The first rule to break: “Never date a co-worker.” Helaine Olen, author of “OfficeMate,” says Baby Boomers kept office romances secret because they were scared it would kill their career. Since there’s now a 50-50 mix of men and women in the work force – and we’re working 10 hour days – unless your company forbids dating a co-worker, experts say there’s no reason not to. The reality is 20% of couples meet at work, but once you’re officially a couple, tell your boss. It’s better that they find out from you, than through office gossip. Assure the boss your work won’t be affected by the relationship, and that there won’t be any water cooler blow-ups. Have the talk with your partner about how you’ll treat each other with respect at work should things go south.

* Another dating rule to ditch: “Rebound relationships never last.” Dr. Brent Atkinson of the Couples Clinic in Illinois says it’s healthy to mourn the end if a relationship, but that doesn’t mean you should wear black for a year or ignore any potential dating prospects you meet while you recuperate. It’s not the timing of a new relationship that’s the issue. It’s where you are emotionally after a breakup. That’s a better indicator of whether a rebound relationship will work out or not.

* The final dating rule to ditch: “Couples who are in love spend all their free time together.” You don’t want to be known as the Velcro-couple. Experts say spending time apart is the secret of happy couples. It actually brings you closer, because if you take a solo cooking class or take up kick-boxing on your own, you’ll bond even more with your partner by sharing your new experiences. You also won’t be dependant on them as your sole source of entertainment and friendship.

    What about that ridiculous 3-day rule?! One shouldn’t call a girl within 3 day of meeting her…some silly nonsense to that effect? By the way, the very last rule about spending all the free time together…that’s actually never been a rule of healthy dating. I thought it was always importance to cultivate one’s own interests and friendships outside of their relationship in order to sustain a healthy bond with one’s partner. However, doing some activities together (similar interests) DOES create a stronger bond.
