Right now as I write this review, I am snuggled up in bed and planning my WEDDING. I was always a pretty, pleasant, nice girl-but because I was so nice I would date guys wayyyyy longer than I needed to, and who clearly were not for me. I am needy-I admit it. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and though this behavior is rewarded in movies, it is not in real life! I not only turned off some great guys, but I probably prevented some of the guys from getting to know me-because they may have gotten freaked out by my gestures (cards, cooking dinner, being too romantic too soon)
Anyways, all i ask is you try it. I am in love with the Rules and was CHASED and i mean CHASED by my now fiance. I was myself in the rules. i did not lie. I did not pretend to be someone I wasn't. The only thing i did was i didn't invest first. Meaning, i didn't treat him like he was my bf when he wasnt. (Many girls do this, after 3 dates with a guy they go into fantasy world thinking that they are "dating" a guy and they also turn down dates). The rules explains you should date and be open to meeting guys until your guy asks you to be exclusive. I also let him call me. I also got busy and was invested in my doctorate program.
Anyways, the purpose is that the Rules just reminds the woman to take a breather. The Rules says, "you are beautiful and amazing and you don't have to settle for anyone. Do you, enjoy life, don't invest until he wants to" and that's that. I still will not understand why there is so much controversy. I have bought the book for three friends who are all "against" the rules and they are all still single and keep making the same mistakes (professing their love to guys who don't care about them, not being open to meeting others, being in unhappy relationships and not getting out).
I am not a great writer-so forgive my horribly written review. All i ask is that you try this for ONE Month, In the 4 months that I did the Rules I had guys begginnnnng me to go on a date with them. I was proposed to after 6 months! I am with a guy who treats me like a QUEEN and i treat him like a KING because he is my king. He is my dream man, funny, sweet, smart, and romantic.
If i had not done the rules-i would be with my old boyfriend and complaining how he was never romantic or never gave me flowers and didn't seem to care about me. The Rules empowers women to not settle, to realize what they deserve and to ACT like it.
Last anecdote. It kills me when my gorgeous best friend will go on a few dates and then consider herself to be "dating" a guy that has not said that explicitly. She ends up focusing on him, confessing her feelings to him, and scaring him off! The Rules gives the woman a breather, and also gives the man the space to realize his feelings for the woman.
The rules says, if a guy doesn't like you. Or if a guy breaks up with you, you take a breath, put on lipstick, and go out . NEXT! I love that mentality. It's not the end of the world if a guy doesnt like you, not every guy can like every woman! the purpose is not to waste months or YEARS on the wrong man!!!!
