So I'm sitting here, packing up my stuff so I can move in next week (sooo excited!) and I come across a book a friend gave me when she got married. The Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right.
I've never actually read the book, but I flipped to the table of contents and found it highly entertaining...secret to success right here:
1. Be a "creature unlike any other"
2. Don't talk to a man first (and don't ask him to dance)
3. Don't stare at men or talk too much
4. Don't meet him halfway or go Dutch on a date
5. Don't call him and rarely return his calls
6. Always end phone calls first
7. Don't accept a Saturday night date after Wednesday
8. Fill up your time before the date
9. How to act on dates 1, 2, and 3
10. How to act on dates 4 through commitment time
11. Always end the date first
12. Stop dating him if he doesn't buy you a romantic gift for your birthday or Valentine's day
13. Don't see him more than once or twice a week
14. Don't tell him what to do
15. Let him take the lead
16. Don't expect a man to change or try to change him
17. Don't open up too fast
18. Be honest but mysterious
19. Accentuate the positive and other rules for personal ads
20. Don't date a married man
21. Slowly involve him in your family
22. Practice, practice, practice!
23. Love only those who love you
24. Be easy to live with
Should we be following the rules or not...?

don't date a married man - ah - this is going to be harder than i thought.
I'm glad these secrets are out in the open now. I'll be sure to pass them on to Miles as soon as possible.
Amy... I may want to read this book. Sounds kinda smart.
Oh Amy- this is funny.
Funny because I have a book here that could be written by the same person. It also has strange ideas for how to get married.
It also has date ideas from the 1970s. Mormon date ideas. One involves having your parents chauffeur you and your date around. It is a winner. Maybe we should set aside one night a week to read these words of wisdom, then put them into practice.
Oh please bring this book with you, PLEASE!
