A few months ago I released a guide on "how to be smooth" if followed you should've had no problem getting that girl you like out on a date. Last month I followed it up with the guide on "how to keep the girl". That should've helped you keep her around along enough to introduce her to the parents. Now that she's been around awhile it's time you two start setting the rules. Thus I bring you "Setting the rules"

Note: this is written strictly from the male perspective and for the male to govern over his girl, not vice versa.

Step 1.) Intiating the rule making: Every good relationship is governed by a good set of rules. Making the rules may seem uncomfortable at first but in the long run it will benefit both you and the female. I always like to initiate my rules by just bluntly saying "Ok new rule......." I'm sure you can come up with a creative way to do so.

Step 2.) Make sure she knows that you are in control of the relationship. I cannot stress how important this is. Too many of my friends are becoming more whipped day by day. In fact, one of my friends can't even pick out his own clothes anymore. *makes whip noise* We do not want this to happen. Once they are in control it's all over. Make sure your rules get the point across that you are your own man.

The Basic Rules : These are the basics, feel free to add more rules in the comment section of this post to share with the rest of us.

1.) If asked "Does this make me look fat" expect no guilt trip for an honest answer.
2.) When hungry, the girl should do the cooking. If the male feels like cooking he may. In general however it should be the female.
3.) If you use negative reinforcement make sure she isn't blabbing it all over town to everyone. (Try not to leave marks, it makes it easier)
4.) A back rub should be no less than 10 minutes, anything less is simply a tease.
5.) Dishes, laundry, vacuuming should all be for the female. Taking out trash, fixing the car....etc are for the male.
6.) If you have to go to the ballet, she has to go to a hockey game
7.) If your favorite tv show is on, talking is permitted during commercials and commercials only. No distrations will be permitted
8.) The male should have full control over what is playing on the car radio. No Delilah permitted
9.) The Female must always inform the male when she is taking him to see parental figures.
10.) PDA is acceptable in moderation. However no cutsie nicknames in public.

Thats all I have for now. If you guys have any rules that would benefit our relationships, post them in the comments!
