Don't sleep with him on the first date.
Let him make the first move.
Never say "I love you" first.
Every Time You Go On A Date, you're faced with 347 "rules" on how to act, what to say, when to call him, when to kiss him, and how to play "the game."
These rules do more than just insult your intelligence: they spread anxiety, breed insecurity, make us all more cynical and, worse, when you follow the rules you might overlook your match.
In this empowering he said/she said guide, relationship experts Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser help us take off the rules-colored glasses. The truth is men don't care if you sleep with them on the first date. (If they like you, they'll want to see you again.) How to find success in love? Don't trust the rules; trust yourself.

It's Okay to Sleep with Him on the First Date: And Every Other Rule of Dating, Debunked
Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser.
If the piles of books proffering rule after hidebound dating rule make your palms sweaty before you've even left the house, then this one's for you. Syrtash, author of He's Just Not Your Type (And That's a Good Thing), and Wilser (The Maxims of Manhood) address many of the popular "rules" of dating in a he said/she said format by assessing each in light of their own opinions and experiences, as well as those of numerous interviewees, both male and female. From long-distance relationships to Facebook stalking and the eternal question of whether to call or text, Syrtash and Wilser cover all the ground between the first meeting and the last goodbye. For the most part, they suggest throwing out any rule that feels outdated or inflexible. After all, advice that rigidly employs the words "always" and "never" is often simply bad advice. So should you sleep with him (the book is geared primarily
toward women) on the first date or not? Well, do you want to? Does he? If so, then go for it. Combining sage wisdom with refreshingly down-to-earth wit, this one's a keeper.
