Rules, Rules, Rules!! Dating Rules for 2011
Mar 28th
For the most part I am not a risk averse person, and I also believe most rules needed to be tested broken stretched and rewritten (this does not apply to laws established by government and basic human kindness.) I have come to realize by not establishing or breaking plenty of rules, in the end I am still single. I know it just seems like a game is being played, maybe a little, but I need it to just slow down a bit. So this year I am going to be more obedient.
DatingandDior Dating Rules
1. Less availability
I am busy, I run a t-shirt line, I am pursuing my MBA, and I am always on a coffee run. I will no longer push things aside and make room for you, you fit in where you fit in.
2. Stop texting, emailing, or responding immediately
I know the rule is to respond in however long it takes for a guy to respond to you. He responds to a text 2 days later, you respond to a text 2 days later, but I always say I will respond now and get it over with. No more. Time is a tricky thing, and I will play the response time game.
3. Two hour date maximum
For a person who hates running long distance, I sure do love some 3-5 hour dating marathons. This is way to long. Sometimes they are fun but most of the time they turn tedious. I need to know about you in a couple dates not via over night shipping.
4. Two drink maximum
Most of you know I can drink with the fishes. Am I an alcoholic, nope. I just have a higher tolerance for the good stuff except whiskey two glass max or tequila one shot max. I will reconsider it to one drink in a two hour period, but depends on who is paying.
5. No more new outfits for a new date.
I have an overfilled closet with fabulous wears. I wear one outfit on a date and it never sees the light of day again. I a not spending any money for two hours. Since summer is upon us and my hair does not know how to be straight in the summer, no more blowouts either. I do love my mani-pedis though so that will not change.

Spring is here! Let the dating resume.
Mar 26th
Spring is finally here (even though snow flakes are coming down in Boston) and this hibernating bear is now ready to hunt. I am kinda over the whole online thing especially since I feel too many creeps, assholes, sexaholics, and ,mentally disturbed men seem to find me. Where am I going to find men, couldn’t tell ya.
In reviewing past posts I realize i seem to give the men too much power over the appearance of the date. For instance, when Mr. Game Changer told me it was the best date ever and he got butterfly’s in his stomach from kissing me, these are two emotions I never got. I didn’t walk away thinking it was the best date I just thought it was a good date and actually thought during the date we should have been just friends, and he wasn’t creepy. After the kiss nothing jumped or moved in me at all. I think I continued it because its good to get attention and I thought if I don’t get on board with these feelings I am going to miss out. So I went in heart first, in reality it just never should have happened. Between my instincts and little signs everything was pointing in the wrong direction, but I had to keep going because I didn’t want to miss out, I wanted to be in love again, and I wanted to be in a serious relationship. In my mind I twist and bent as much as I could to make this happen, in reality it was nothing close to it. I know it’s easy to say this in reflection but my friends and family were telling me since I got weird texts during the Christmas holiday to just leave it alone I didn’t and the whole thing went sour immediately.
I digress, the point is I know what I want and I know who I am and I know you can never make a guy fit into anything. I now also realize my instincts are smarter than anything else I got and I have to trust them no matter what. The power begins and ends with me, and shall be reflected from that point here on out.
