The Rules
Came home last night and was momentarily confused as entire house looked like a set from Signs: there were half-empty glasses of water everywhere. I vaguely recall extreme thirst after "run" with BS on Sunday but am sure we could not have filled that many glasses....
Anyway, this is beside the point. I am a changed woman! RS introduced to me a wonderful book entitled "The Rules". I doubted, I read, I believe! The Rules essentially insist that a woman let a man chase her; this is the only way to weed out the ones who just want to get laid (pardon my vulgarity) from the one who will be your loving and adoring husband until death do you part. A man who is truly into you will call you, will make time for you, will want to do things with you, will not need your "help" to get your number or arrange a date etc. To attract this man, however, a girl has to play hard to get, don't make it easy on him, and make him work for you...fascinating book. Now, as we are all to well aware, I have absolutely no interest in attracting a husband at this juncture. The Rules instruct, however, that one never knows when one will want a husband and must therefore practice the rules diligently in the meantime.
This brings us once again to SS...
SS called yesterday and I'm still not entirely sure why. This would be the second time he has called since his miraculous reappearance on 8/12. Had I not read The Rules I would have, of course, called him a long time ago to arrange a play date, but I am a changed woman! The Rules say the man must call you; you cannot initiate calls! Furthermore if he calls and leaves a message you must not call back immediately and you may only call back if he has specifically asked you to do so or if the call involved imminent pre-arranged plans. Thus I had not called SS: he wants to see me, he has to do the work. No helping allowed!
SS's call seemed mainly to chat and see how life was treating me. Towards the end of the conversation he said I should call him sometime, to which I replied that he was with the one with the booked schedule and that he should feel free to call when he had a spare moment. He also mentioned that I should call the next time J & co. got together and that he would take us all out for drinks. Unfortunately this will not be happening because, according to The Rules, he must introduce you to his friends first.
Now what, you may be asking yourself, does this have to do with practice? I thought we were through with Mr. Shady? True. The Rules, however, maintian that it is easier to practice on someone with whom you are not goo-goo gaga over. While I do not trust SS at this point I do enjoy his company and I am not opposed to entertaining a mutually beneficial friendship.
Anyway, I suppose we shall see where SS and this Rules thing lead...
