I will tell you – I laugh – cause you are NOT the only one! And this is not a "female only" kind of thing!

50th Wedding Anniversary? Seriously? Do those still happen??

Ding, I think it’s okay to have “hope,” but what Tee is advising is Very Important. You can think that you are in love in the first 5 minutes and you can tell everyone else in your life that you are in love for the first few weeks, but Don’t Tell Him or Her. (At least not until your 50th wedding anniversary.)

Great list! I agree with everything but would add a couple of thoughts.

First, re-runs don’t have to, and probably shouldn’t, try to reproduce the same relationship that didn’t work before. However, you can re-run the same guy with a different kind of relationship. I’ve got one good guy friend who used to be more than that, and it seems to work fine.

Second, there’s sex and there’s sex. Friendship isn’t complicated by a little fun and a little flirting, as long as we both know what we’re doing. I know that it could get complicated but it can also just add to the friendship.

I know! My “U-Haul” friends laughed their asses off at me when that one happened! They couldn’t believe it! And – btw- they did move in together in their first month!

Yup, I had a friend of mine tell a guy that! I almost died, and then said asked if he said “Thank you”? Her response – I don’t think he really thought much of me after that… it just kinda slipped out.

HOW DOES THAT JUST SLIP OUT?

“2- NO “I love you” on the FIRST DATE”

I can’t believe this really happens—and I’m a dyke. Like, with the U-Hauls and all that.

Please everyone, don’t utterly discredit falling in love in one month or even a ten day period. I have been married to my best friend for 24 years – this after a 10 day – one night stand! It happend to me and to someone very close to me…they have been together 27 years! They met, fell in love and moved in together in one week! It can happen… admittedly not often and you have to work at your relationship HARD! But oh it is so worth it, be careful of your hearts. Enjoy what life has to offer and try not to be bitter. I believe it is true that there is someone out there for everyone you just have to find them!

Surely we’ve all committed at least one of your mentioned sins. Confession: 2 (I blame this on alcohol….this has not happened without inebriation) , 4, 6, & 7. All have ended in disaster.

Well… maybe I should post some of the other rules that made the top 50 list… if interested… let me know… I’ll share with you what was learned in my “survey” of the dating world.
Oh… and llxt – I completely agree!

I’m just glad that “don’t get pregnant with an asshole’s baby before meeting the love of your life” isn’t a sin. Whew! Guess I don’t have to go to confession after all…
