Rulebreaker Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) All he rules book has done is fill my head with loads of s*** and add to my insecurities. If I dont behave by the book I panic that I may put my guy off and destroy our great relationship, or if my guy doesnt do something the book says he should be doing then I also worry. That is a major problem with the Rules - if he doesn't call, etc., you tend to feel like you followed the Rules wrong or you screwed up. I'm definitely feeling this way now about a prospective date from last week This is very convenient for the authors, who basically have created a circular definition. The Rules doesn't account for differences in personality, and I think that you, being the one in the relationship, need to tweak the Rules to suit your personality and his. I think the "romantic gift" rule can apply on a conceptual level. Was it a romantic gift FOR HIM? Like, was it an inside joke or something otherwise meaningful? If so, it doesn't matter if it wasn't jewelry, etc. Edited June 26, 2019 by a LoveShack.org Moderator
