TL;DR

  • Modern dating rules: three that matter, seven worth keeping, seven worth dropping, and four for problems no etiquette book covers.
  • The three: be specific about plans, be genuinely curious, and say what you want by around the third date.
  • The tell for a bad rule: it involves withholding. Anything treating interest as a resource to ration assumes the other person plays the same game.
  • Genuinely new problems: threads that never become plans, the non-reply, ending things after one date, and being contacted after saying no.
  • Blocking is a complete response and needs no explanation. Politeness is owed to people behaving reasonably.
  • The rule underneath: make it easy to say no to you, which is what makes a yes worth having.
