Rules of Engagement for women

Rule #1: Never give in on the first 3 dates!!!

Always go with your instinct, even after 3 dates, you are not obligated in anyway to sleep with a man.

Always assume that he’s dating other people, so if you think about it, if he’s got you before he really knows what you’re really about, you’re out of the game!

Rule #2: Always offer to pay for dinner at least once every few dates. The frequency will depend on you. A gentleman would usually decline the offer if he can afford it. If he’s tight or a 50-50 type of guy, he will eventually tell you and you both can work it out.

Rule #3: Do not respond to drunken text messages or booty call texts. Any texting after 11pm is a no, no. This is how you determine a good guy from a mediocre guy who’s just looking to you for some fun.

Mediocre men can always turn into good men and vice versa, but with you responding and reacting to a booty call text, this will automatically place you into his bad girl list, the "fun girl". And once you are categorized as that, the guys may never take you seriously again. It is a chance you are taking. For some, relationships blossom from these type of encounters, but I highly do not recommend it as once he knows that he can get you after hours, he may never ask you out on a regular dinner date again.

Plus, when they are drunk, anything goes, anything will do and you don’t want to be "any" girl. You’re special!

Rule #4: Don’t chase them. They will come to you if they want you. Men loves a challenge and if they are interested, they will work to get you. The assumption that men are more "laid back" or "lazy" in Vancouver is wrong. So what if there are abundant of beautiful women in Vancouver. Personality, intelligence and confidence stands out too!.... There are lots of beautiful women like you, so you need to separate yourself from the masses. You need to know if he is seriously interested and if so, you can give a hint here and there, but don't chase. If he doesn't get the hint, he's either stupid or not into to you and you don't want either. Ok?
