Dating Rules:

Intro:
The other day, I had someone say she had to break up with me because it didn't seem we were compatible. The only problem was I didn't think there was any kind of relationship. A quick kiss maybe, a date and a half but there hadn't been any pledges of undying love. How can you break something up that hasn't even begun to grow. Ahhh. the minefields of dating after 40 or 50. The power person has to break things off first. As George Constanza said the other day in a classic Seinfeld rerun, as his date at the time pre-empted him and told him in the coffee shop, (I paraphrase), "George, we've got to split up, It's not you it's me, I'm not ready." To which George replies, "You can't use that line, that's mine and I was going to use it first."

We've got a number of Dating Rules to put out on this blog, most from first hand experience of a number of qualified "daters". Some apply to all dating, others to the hugely popular online dating scene. We'll try and have some fun with the dating game and maybe help a few people along the way.

Watch for them over the next while. You'll have a comments and feedback option so you can tell others your first hand stories as well.
