I came across an article about breaking rules, love rules that is. It says that there are 7 conventional dating ideas that should be reconsidered. The rules are:1. Never date a co-worker.
2. Always wait for the third (or fourth or fifth) date to have sex.
3. Rebound relationships never last.
4. Never date a friend's ex.
5. Only date one person at a time.
6. Wait for your date to say "I love you" first.
7. Couples who are in love spend all their free time together.
What I find interesting that as I read through the article I found that some of them I whole-heartedly agree should be broken. Others shouldn't in my opinion be broken. And a few of them I've broken and later wished I hadn't. So what's the secret? Can you really take advice about love? I'm an emotional person. I think things through methodically but I make decisions based on how the outcome will make me feel. Is love something you have to feel your way through? So many questions, no wonder I'm still single!!

These are interesting rules and I see the point to most of them (I disagree with never saying I love you first), but sometimes I think love is worth the risk of dating someone even if there are complicating factors (i.e. friend's ex, co-worker, dating someone who just got out of a relationship).
Is it okay for people to be a little selfish if it means finding love? Or, should you always put other people first and sacrifice your own chance at love?
