"A friend and I were recently discussing our dating lives and, more accurately, our dating mistakes, when she revealed her No. 1 dating rule: &amp;amp;#8220;Classy girls,&amp;amp;#8221; she said, &amp;amp;#8220;don&amp;amp;#8217;t kiss in bars.&amp;amp;#8221; I laughed. &amp;amp;#8220;What about just outside the bar?&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Oh, that&amp;amp;#8217;s totally fine,&amp;amp;#8221; she replied. &amp;amp;#8220;But no guy is going to take a girl who will put on a show for the bartender seriously.&amp;amp;#8221; Rule No. 1: Two-drink maximum. It made me realize that we all have dating rules we make for ourselves&amp;amp;mdash;some logical, some just plain silly. So I reached out to a few more friends to find out what their personal dating rules are. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I found out: 1. &amp;amp;#8220;Always end the call first,&amp;amp;#8221; one of my friends said. &amp;amp;#8220;I usually try to cut things off at the 15-minute mark.&amp;amp;#8221; The idea, she said, is to leave him wanting more and to show him you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got your own thing going on. 2. Another friend refuses to &amp;amp;#8220;accidentally&amp;amp;#8221; leave belongings at his apartment. &amp;amp;#8220;I know some girls think this is a brilliant way to get guys to see you again,&amp;amp;#8221; she said, &amp;amp;#8220;but truthfully, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a pretty obvious move. Plus, I want him to make up excuses to see me.&amp;amp;#8221; 3. One friend deletes a new guy&amp;amp;#8217;s number after every phone call or text. &amp;amp;#8220;It keeps me from looking clingy,&amp;amp;#8221; she explains. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m a chatterbox, which can come off as being clingy or needy to new guys. So, if I don&amp;amp;#8217;t have his number, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t initiate contact!&amp;amp;#8221; Once she gets serious with a guy, she adds him to her address book. My own rule? I don&amp;amp;#8217;t text-message pictures of myself. And I&amp;amp;#8217;m not just talking about naughty ones. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t send any pictures. If you want to see me, you have to see me. (Plus, hello, I am terrified of ending up on the Interwebs!) It&amp;amp;#8217;s your turn! What are your dating rules and why do you have them? Do they work?
