“If a someone calls me at the last minute, should I accept the date?”

“My date was twenty minutes late.  What should I do?”

I get asked questions like this all the time.

My response is simple: Don’t follow superficial rules. Live by principles that resonate with you.

Everyone is different. We all have different needs and different styles, so celebrate this fact and commit yourself to full self-expression.

I went against the “conventional” dating rules, and it couldn’t have worked out better.

I FOUND MY AMAZING HUSBAND BY BREAKING THE RULES

So here’s the scoop.

I found Michael while searching through dating profiles on JDate and contacted him on a Thursday.

After a brief conversation that really flowed, we decided to meet at some point in the late afternoon on Friday. We were playing the time by ear. That worked for me because my busy company and lifestyle demanded a bit of flexibility, and it worked well for him, too.
