5 Dating Rules Every Man Should Know

4. Dating has no definite timeline

Some people come out of a very long relationship, only to find their true love on a rebound date. Others take months or years to fall in love with someone who’s been in love with them since ages. Different people take different amounts of time to develop their liking or interest towards someone, and everyone’s relationship has a different developmental pace to it. So never try to set targets or have a timeline in your mind of when to take the next step of moving in together, or when to buy her an expensive gift etc. It happens when it happens, and you must go with the flow rather than scaring your partner with a different pace of things or imposing your relationship timelines on her.

5. There’s a limit to everything

Just because you date her, doesn’t mean you own her. You must know your limits, and stay within them too. You are still not married to her, and despite however long you have been dating, you can’t impose your decisions on her or force her to do something. She is an individual with her own choices, and as long as both people in a relationship understand each other’s individual space and choices and respect them, things will go smoothly. So whether it’s you convincing her to have sex without condoms or she asking you to skip the football match for a dinner with family, limits should be set clear right from the start to avoid problems later. And needless to say, these limits are something that you both are mutually comfortable with.

So perhaps now you can make out if you were going wrong somewhere in getting your dating life sorted. These tips, as you follow them gradually, will not only help you to impress the woman you like, but will also make you a better person in the process, helping you gain more respect in the eyes of other people.
