There are rules for dating?

My Friend of many years told me she liked at guy. Not only that after going out with him and others friends she even kissed him! She told me that he reacted pretty much surprised but didn't respond the kiss nor did he say anything after that. The days that followed he asked her about her past relationships, about what she likes and wants in a man. He did flirt with her A LOT! So we though WELL HE IS INTO YOU!

I told her that we should do a double date, my guy and I and her and him. Well he said yes, than no, then yes, then he didn't have money and he didn't have transportation.

1. I am totally AGAINST women having to be picking men up and paying on the first dates or so. Why? Well if he likes you enough he will find a way to make it happen.

2. I told her and this is key! If you like him in serious relationship, DO NOT SUGGEST friends with BENEFITS!!! Why? Well I don't want to insult anybody on here but Friends with Benefits its what I call an EASY MEAL. Not only that but the value you have on his eyes will be lowered. This is my Opinion just in Case.

Well she told me 3 days ago that they became friends with benefits. Didn't I say something about that? I asked her, who did the suggestion. She did. Why? Because she has had lots of bad relationships and she believes that starting with friends with benefits they will eventually become a relationship. Ok...so your telling me: you kissed him, you call him, you suggest being friends with benefits. What did he try to do? Nothing.

Well that clearly shows how HE ISN'T INTO YOU!

Not only that, when I asked her if she would be meeting other guys. She said no, she would be exclusive with him. And would he do the same? Awkward silence.

So I do believe there are things that you should and shouldn't do.

Don't make yourself so available, why? Because often enough men think that you will always be there no matter what and when you start meeting someone thats a turn off. Don't loose the mystery. Don't bend over backwards for him or her (if thats ur case. Why? Because you become like a magician, if he or she needs anything you will always be there to make it.
If you want something serious, DO NOT settle for less. Why? From my experience and what I've seen so far Friends With Benefits NEVER have a Relationship. Thats like going to Burger king, you go there, get warm food, eat and leave. You never STAY in Burger King. 1 call a day is good enough. Don't be calling him every 10 minutes, thats shows desperation. And trust me that is a HUGE TURN OFF. There's plenty of things I can write about, but I just want to mention a few I believe are important.

Call me old fashion but I do believe the man has to work to get the woman. After he has proven that he will do everything he can do be with you than you can show your appreciation by doings things for him. Boomerang Situation. Give and Get.

Well I hope this helps a bit. Take care all!
