Thanks CG!

Febuary is fast approaching. And yet alot of people don't even "date" anymore -----the more fast growing terms would be "hang out," "hook up," and sometimes even the term "let's eat," right? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, welcome to the modern world people! This isn't actually like those days wherein a guy courts inside the girl's house, and especially not those days wherein a guy should help around the chores of the girl's home in order to get approval from the parents. Today, most of the couples just surprise their parents if ya know what I mean! *winks*

So if ya want to get into the hype...well ya better listen up coz you might just learn a tip or two.

Dating Rule #1: Never let him know you like him.
Flirt with him sure, but don't reveal everything yet. Take it one step at a time. And then when you're sure he's into you, that's the time you widen your stride. Don't pretend to be uninterested for too long coz he might get confuse and let go.

Dating Rule #2: Don't listen to your friends' opinions.
This is a tricky rule, believe me I know. When you like a guy who's too dorky, or who's a little over the top for your friends but is sweet and sensitive to you, go with your gut and don't listen to them. Now here's the tricky part....if more than one friend says the same description/opinion about the guy you like, there must really be something worth checking out, so hear them out. Afterall they are your friends, and in matters of the heart, they may be right.

Dating Rule #3: You can hook up whenever you feel like it.
If you feel like kissing a guy because he's a totally hottie, omigod go right on ahead as long as you have no intentions looking to start a relationship and he isn't either and neither of you is "taken" then why not. But if this hooking up becomes a casual thing (happening over and over with same guy) well, try to ask yourself, "where is this leading me?" Where do we go from here?" coz that girlfriend, isn't just hooking up anymore, you might be developing feelings with this guy and so does he. Talk it out before both of you get hurt of what you're about to go into.

Dating Rule #4: Never text, call, e-mail or IM him first.
Old fashion? Never. We can never get the thing most guys have which is, "superiority" but they like it when they feel that they've worked hard to get you. So they like to call, text, e-mail or IM you first as much as possible so let them. Don't argue anymore, we just have to admit that's one example of how the male specie hunts. It's a good thing to know as well, that he makes these efforts first, at least you'll know he's worth it! But if a guy is quite shy...you may need to send a little signal without being the least darting to the male ego or you'll risk waiting forever!

So learned anything today? I bet you did coz I did. Just remember, don't be too overly serious about these stuff. Show your fun side for a change. Live a little, ayt? *winks*
