Millennials brought up on a toxic dating diet of ridiculous rules have been shocked by the new approach Gen Z is taking.
Essentially it means you will no longer waste your time on people who aren’t looking for a relationship. Yep, you put your cards on the table from the start.
One of the two writers claimed that ‘The Rules’ were created by her grandma back in 1917 and worked a treat for her. Yep, she was flocked byI mean, who DOESN’T want a bunch of blokes to go gaga over them. I couldn’t get enough.It included such highlights such as:– Don’t meet him halfway, or go Dutch on a date. – He must pick you up and pay the entire bill.– Always end phone calls first, and don’t speak for longer than ten minutes.
They may tell you that they are just looking for something casual, or they may tell you they are actually looking for their special someone as well. It’s straight to the point and will help avoid any tricky ‘what are we’ confusion later down the track. And if a conversation like that does scare them off, well then clearly, they weren’t for you anyway. Count it as a blessing.Now that all sounds quite heavenly, because let’s be honest, how many hours have we wasted on the phone to our friends trying to decipher a confusing text? Or questioning why it’s been days of no contact since you ‘oopsy daisy’ slept with them on the first date. Side note: no shame in first date naked shenanigans.
So moving forward into 2022, I’m going to step outside of my comfort zone and give this dating trend a red hot crack, because it sure beats playing games and using other slightly toxic methods to snag a fella.
