Question of the Day: What are the unspoken rules of dating?
And that question is, do you have any unspoken rules or boundaries when it comes to dating people? Because everybody has their thing, and I may be that person who just I like to get to know somebody through conversation. I don't want somebody to do a background check on me. But what are yours? What are your rules? What are your boundaries? What are your big no no's when it comes to dating? I know some people will not date coworkers

You felt like she already had ideas about you. So I think that comes to this. That sort of begs the question of what do you tell somebody that you did in preparation for the date? I think that's a big unspoken thing like don't do that. Just be in the moment, behold somebody, and if you got to take care of your business, do that, but don't lead with it. What an unpleasant experience for you

Just one thing beyond dating. I also feel like that could be one of two things. It could say a lot about the woman, but I also feel like it's partially a sign of the times I've been out the market for a while. But outside of dating, I know I remember when MySpace came around and know people started using what's it called social media

And hopefully during the conversation before I meet you, that you get to hear who I am. You get to hear my compassion, my loyalty, my trustworthiness in our conversation. Same thing I listen for too. Before I even decide to say I want to meet you, I'm not always fond of going out to eat, just to meet and greet at that point

Hey, great skullcast conversation and all. From your question what are the unspoken rules? And and for me I would start with that, that there aren't any unspoken rules of dating. Because my perspective is that it's best practice for us to communicate what our boundaries are for dating. That way the person who is meeting us and we are meeting them, they have an understanding in a sense

Hello. Good morning. Good morning. This is the queen. What are my unspoken rules for dating? For one, you have to be taller than I. I'm five one and I wore stilettos. And if you I think I can deal with someone who's just my height or higher than me with heels on. But if you're short, I can't that's not going to work
Hey, thanks for answering, Queen. I really, really enjoyed your answer. So, yeah, I just wanted to touch on some of the things you said. Height. Understandable. I get it. I do like to have a girl who's a little shorter than I am. I'm 57, so, I mean, I'm I think I'm considered short to a lot of people, at least in the US. What else?
And when I say be real, I don't mean because when you first meet somebody, you're trying to put your best foot forward, so you're going to do all the things that you probably wouldn't do on a regular basis. But when you're talking about dating, you don't want to be so much not yourself. That when you really start to show who you are. It's like a completely different person. That's what we don't want, right?
And he said, okay, sometimes girls post pictures and you see them in person. They don't really look like that. That was the end of my curiosity, my journey with online dating. I just realized it was not for me, and that's okay, but I didn't realize that that's what it was. I mean, obviously when you're on the Internet, you know that everything is not always what it seems. But I just was kind of like, okay, interesting

Hello? Hello? This is the Queen. There are some imposters on a dating site. Yes, I have been on a dating site and was talking to this guy. He said he was in the army. Been there over 35 years getting ready to retire. And we finally, after a couple of months, exchange phone numbers, come to find out this joker is over in Africa
It like, literally I'm literally sitting here listening to you, and my mouth dropped. Because no, because I don't mean to laugh. It's just did you feel like did you not think that you were going to meet this person in person at some point? How I don't know how you how you expect that to what was your goal or what did you think the outcome was going to be? Are you serious? This is what goes on

Hello. So I don't really think there are unspoken rules to dating. I think each person has to determine what their dating life looks like and want to be. Some people feel like you can date multiple people. Some people only want to date one person at a time. Some people say you could date multiple people at a time. That's what dating is. It's gathering information
