Do you have dating rules? In this episode, I get into the dating rules that worked for me (even though ultimately, I don't believe you have to follow any dating rules to be successful in dating). I also share what rules the community thinks are great, and which ones are BS. At the end, I'm answering a listener's question about what to do after being blindsided. Head to Instagram @dating.intentionally to connect with the community and me!
