Dating Rules We Should've Left Behind

Raw Chapter No. 003

"Who decided there was a rulebook anyway?"

Don’t text them first.

Wait three days.

Never give them the impression you like them.

Play hard to get.

Who even wrote these rules? They make finding someone harder than it needs to be.

At some point honesty became strategy. We aren’t asking ourselves how we feel about someone. We ask how we should appear. Am I showing too much interest? Will they think I want something too soon?

But what happens when you actually click with someone?

Why does being excited become discourtesy? If two people naturally like talking to each other, why is that bad?

Relationships shouldn’t have to be a damn game of chess. Stop counting your moves. There should be space for authenticity. It might be time to throw out some rules and make room for conversation.

☕ Now I want to hear from you.

What's one dating rule you've never agreed with?

Until our next cup... ☕🤎
