the Unwritten Rules of Dating

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, these rules are the culprits which keep many aspies from finding love.

So far I've managed to collect 16 of the Unwritten Rules. Which ones have you heard?

Date a girl who likes you for being you, and most of all can work with your flaws. If you change for a girl and marry her or even after a while of dating, she starts to pick up on things that are not true. Love at first sight is dumb. Love at first sight to a women for a guy, when the guy is trying too hard, looks like one of those Scams online telling you you won a million dollars.

Biggest advice I can give is that the only way to impress a girl is being genuine. Girls like guys who are genuine, and they prefer guys that they have talked to and spoken to many times, and in a fun nice way. Not a mind reader. Girls do not like guys who try to be mind readers......

I don't know what 'the unwritten rules' are, but, I whole-heartedly agree with almost everything that ZachGoodwin^ has stated. Additionally, I personally, find any sort of flattery or anything remotely resembling objectification, an immediate turn-off (generally speaking), as I am not interested in getting to know a person for reasons related to physical appearance, and, what draws me to a person is their mind and heart. I should say, however, that I haven't actually dated in the true sense of what I understand 'dating' to be, or consist of. I have been in Love twice, in my lifetime, and I am 50 y/o. One experience evolved from a long-term friendship, and the other was a long distance/online friendship/relationship. I'm not sure I have any interest in traditional dating, per se, although, I would like to share my life with someone, and if it entails falling in love, along the way, then, that would be wonderful. I am off topic, now, though. Sorry about that.
