This is an incredibly good read!
A lot of the rules in this book are things that we should know but don't always remember to do!
Here are the top five rules.
1. Be a Creature Unlike Any Other:
Being a creature unlike any other is really an attitude, a sense of confidence and radiance that permeates your being from head to toe. It's the way you smile (you light up the room), pause in between sentences (you don't babble on out of nervousness), listen (attentively), look (demurely, never stare), breathe (slowly), stand (straight) and walk (briskly, with your shoulders back). When a relationship doesn't work out, you brush away a tear so that it doesn't smudge your makeup and you move on!
2. Show Up to Social Events Even If You Don't Feel Like:
Realize that you may not meet Mr. Right naturally and that you therefore must take social action immediately even if you don't want to. Get a manicure and go out on another date or to that singles dance -- do something to increase your chances of meeting men.
3. It's a Fantasy Relationship Unless a Man Asks You Out:
Don't waste time on a fantasy relationship. You may have a good rapport with your doctor, lawyer or accountant, and you may find yourself wondering if he is interested in you romantically. How can you know for sure? If he's never asked you out, then He's Just Not That Into You!
4. If He Does Not Call, He Is Not That Interested Period:
We know this is hard to accept, but it's not that he hasn't called because he's busy, or because you didn't smile or talk enough (or did too much). It's not that he lost your phone number. The bottom line is, if he hasn't called, he's not that interested.
5. Buyer Beware-- Observe His Behavior So You Do Not End Up With Mr. Wrong:
Love may be blind, but Rules girls are not stupid! How does he act in the relationship? Is he cheap on dates? Is he critical of you? Remember, The Rules are not about marrying the first man you are attracted to who calls you by Wednesday for Saturday night and buys you flowers. It's about marrying your own personal Mr. Right -- a man whom you love and whose character you admire and can live with.
this is all good advice and I love the pictures you chose, very diverse. I would say I think the hardest thing is just admitting that guy may not like you. It is hard especially if you feel rejected again and again. Then maybe its time to consider whether you're going after the wrong guys or whether you have confidence in yoursel for not. I think that is the hardest thing to do.
