Aren’t relationships supposed to be fun and exciting? Aren’t you supposed to let loose and let the emotions and feelings show you the path to happiness? So many people stick to four expired rules when dating or in a relationship that they lose the spark. They are outdated and don’t work! Let the bond happen naturally – don’t follow the examples that were thought up by someone so long ago that they are no longer relevant.
The Infamous Three-Day Rule
This might be among the most ridiculous of rules when it comes to dating and relationships. It states that if you meet someone on an evening out on the town, you must wait three days before calling or reaching out. If you do so before the three days – you seem desperate. But why should showing interest be considered desperation in any way? That’s outdated – if you’re interested in someone, why wait? Reach out and start making your connection stronger!
Rules on Certain Criteria
It’s said that opposites attract, but many people are afraid of the unknown. Countless people across the globe have criteria for those they date – they must live in a specific place and look and talk in a certain way. But why? That limits the people you can connect with, and you never know – you can easily fall for someone who doesn’t fit the criteria!
Waiting for That First Move
Times have changed – a lot! So why should these rules still apply, especially to women, since they’re the ones who hear this the most? Why wait for the man to make the first move? Modern times are upon us, so don’t wait. No one should. If you feel like making the first move – you should. Why should it matter that it’s not the man making it? Statistically, women who move first have more success rate anyway.
Trying to Befriend Everyone
The more important part of a relationship is that you like your significant other, and they like you. If you’re both into each other, why should it matter if you’re into each other’s friend groups? Sure, it would be perfect if your friends and your significant other’s friends could mingle into one group, but if not, it’s not that big of a deal!
If you want a happy relationship, give up outdated rules that don’t work most of the time. Go with the flow – it might be scary to most people, but it could be the best thing to happen to your relationship and dating game. Don’t concentrate on practices that might not bring you the happy relationship you want. Enjoy, and feel free to play it step by step!
