For Men Only

Topic: Guys Talk
Considering the divorce rate and the number of single men out there trying to do it all over again, but learning that things are not the same as when they dated ten, twenty, or more years ago; we (Joan and I) decided to offer some simple but not always obvious recommendations. The dating game, like many other things, has changed in this current new age modern day. Among the plethora of changes within society today are the significant changes women have adopted.
Certainly women today are more independent, confident, focused, goal oriented, and selective than ever before. Thus if you meet someone, are attracted to her, and wish to create a friendship and/or a relationship, we think you need to consider and embrace our serious but simple points of advice.
Joan and I have formed our words of wisdom into rules of the road to a creative romance and relationship. We view these tips as a guide or a map toward Mr. Wright finding Miss Right and both fulfilling each other beyond their farthest dreams. We have termed these essays as "Relationship Rule", or abbreviated RR. As, kids we studied the basic R's in school. Now as adults, as divorced, as the "walking wounded", we trust you shall study and apply these 70 RR's to your life and pursuits to finding that ultimate relationship which can only produce lasting happiness. Good luck upon your journey. LM
Background[Rev 7/98]
Joan and Jon are two very ordinary people. At the time of writing these essays as a guide to all men seeking what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, we had a combined fifty years of marriage experience, and five years of combined separations and/or divorce time. We like to feel as though "we've been there and done that". Professionally we come from the field of education; both secondary and post secondary, as well as ten years in student and staff counseling. However, it is the most recent re-dating years which has made us aware that there exists a void in practical advice for men trying new relationships, and that we had something to contribute.
We feel our recent personal experiences out here in the post-marriage dating world has qualified us to share our observances and offer advice to any man of any age who wishes to meet a special person and win that person's trust, respect, and affection. In that precise order. This guide with its sixty-nine rules (i.e. RR's), assumes that its readers have recovered from their past marriage, divorce, and/or significant relationships, and are moving on in life. We are not implying that you have no baggage, only that your past is behind you and now you're going on. Our rules are not about recovery but about reaching out when you know its time!
These essays brief and easy to read and understand are more than just a list of advice tips. They are the compilation of do's and don'ts which can engage you in a lasting and fulfilling relationship. I offer these RR's man to man combined with Joan's review, input and womanly ideas. Enjoy the journey. Its so worth it! LM
