My Rules of Dating

As the pressure to date increases (which ironically generally tends to lower the number of dates that I actually go on) I find it necessary to list the following three rules as far as dating/non-dating is concerned. I call these the "never, ever" rules (for obvious reason). Of course, I feel that everybody should follow these rules, but each to his or her own.

I've had these rules for several years now, but I have yet to put them in writing. Now is the time.

By the way, these are in order of importance, if you were wondering.

1. If you're a male, never, ever date someone that is taller than you. If you're a female, never ever date someone who is shorter than you.

2. Never, ever, if you're passed the age of 23, date someone that is still in high school (I confess to have broken this rule when I was 24, but I've since repented and I didn't know she was in high school when I asked her so lay off).

3. Never, ever date someone that you met on your mission. Ever!

A couple more things that I would like to add.

1. As far as age limit, the rule right now is 18-30 no more than two kids, but since that could possibly change, it is not a "never, ever" rule (for example, when I'm 35 and still not married, it might be 18-40 no more than four kids, but that's yet to be decided).

2. If I were a girl, I would also have the following rule: "Never, ever date a guy who wear's his hat crooked." I'm not a girl though and I haven't quite thought of a female corollary to the crooked hat thing, but if I do, I'll be sure to add it to the list.

And that's all.

Dang! Still under 30 but 3 kids. Good to know what the men are thinking these days. Depressing.
