The Dating Rules



                            1.   Showing Affection
                                            i.   In front of friends is not allowed.  Ever.  Except for the next three conditions. 
b.    Movie Nights
                                            i.    Holding hands is acceptable, but too much cuddling, Wow… get a room. Actually remember the Honor Code. Just leave.  Friends are the judges.  Get too close to her and we will sit between you.  You’ve been given fair warning.
c.  Group Dates
                                            i.    Dates are free game, not literally, but you catch our drift. Hand holding, cuddling, and tickle wars (Annie likes these, not really, you’ll get hit…) are allowed. But if you start kissing in front of the other couples, especially if it is their first date, NOT COOL!!! Keep that for the doorstep. Never in vehicles. That’s a no-no. But please don’t act like you’re alone, cause you’re not, and it’s an easy way to make things awkward.
d.     Relationships
                                   i.    When we say relationship, we mean officially official (none of that unofficial junk), exclusive, girlfriend boyfriend, fiancé, you understand. Once again, best friends are the judges.  If you are getting too gooey, like puke worthy, we will show you an obvious sign.  And when I say obvious, I mean obvious.  Like jumping up and down yelling BAH at the top of our lungs. 
<             2.  Girl Friends
a.    Once a week is Girl’s Night.  Girl’s Night means no boys, no boyfriends, no fiancés, no members of the opposite gender. At all. And at all means no texting, no phone calls, nothing. You are dead to us, it doesn’t mean we aren’t talking about you, but you aren’t alive for that one night a week. But if you want to see your girl, well, you have to bribe us.  You have to bring your girl flowers, and you must bring the rest of us chocolate.  Not the cheapo chocolate, like tootsie rolls, but the good chocolate.  Minimum Hershey’s, you really want to get on the best friends good side, Ghirardelli. Yeah, the good stuff. 
b.     Any other night of the week is okay for you to be with the girls.  You can invite your guy friends and have fun with us girls. But refer to Rule one. 
c.      We are important. The most important part of her life, aside from you of course, and if we don’t like you then, pardon my French, you’re screwed. And this is a proven fact.  So help us help you. Then life will be great!
d.     Also, just so you know, if you walk in on us talking and we stop talking and have guilty looks on our faces, we were talking about you.  Don’t worry; it’s usually all good. Unless someone’s crying. Then you should be alarmed.
                3. Worship
a.     Temple attendance is a must.  Preferably with your girl. With us too, would be great, but as long as you go, then life is good. And since you should be an RM, baptize and confirm her. It’s kinda cute…. Actually really cute, um… can’t really put into words how cute.  Just do it.
<              4.      Church
a.    Feel free to put your arm around her in church, especially if you want the other guys to stay away, which you should already know this… why am I repeating myself?
b.     Support her in everything she does, cause we’ll be there and if you aren’t then there is a problem.
<              5.    Date Night
a.    
<              6.    Music
a.     We love playlists. We have songs for everything. If you ever hear these theme songs from recently, assume they are about you.  If they are sad songs about how guys are jerks, then you better work on that.  But if they are cute, romantic, you make me happy songs, then you are on the right track.  Keep it up. And just so you know, it is a good thing if you get a song on the playlist.  Kind of.  That means we either really like or really dislike you.  Usually the first one. 
<              7.      Compliments
a.     Give them. Make her feel pretty.  Cause you have no idea how hard she tries to look good just for you.  So do it.  Or strike against you.
                 8. “Those” Days
a.     They are hard. And I know it seems like there is nothing you can ever do. But just be there for her, no questions asked.
                  9.  The Engagement
a.     When that day comes, and I promise it will eventually, maybe not with you, but we’re pulling for you.  We will help you.  Especially if we like you. And you need to work on making us like you, see Rule 2 Addendum c. But when you are ready, call us.  We will help you. Cause we will be the bridesmaids, maid of honors, and all that jazz.  But we want pictures of her face when you ask her.  So call us and we will hide in the bushes with a camera.  The rest is your job. 
                     10.   Attire
a.     Guys in white shirts or button up shirts are attractive.  It is a unanimous vote among girls. So dress up. Guys in suits are even better, but we understand they are hot in more than one way.  So Sundays are okay, but just so you know.
