Dating Tips

In an attempt to catch up on "For the Love of Ray J" last week as I hustled and bustled to complete some actual work tasks, I left the channel on Vh1 and caught the first episode of a new dating show.

Thankfully this show doesn't promise lots of drunken fights and tongues down other people's throat so I left the TV on. The premise is that a male who comes from a family of successful multi-generational matchmakers will help a select group of women determine what they are doing wrong when it comes to dating men.

I thought some of his advice to the women and what they were seemingly (or in some cases obviously) doing wrong were valid and got a kick out of his dating rules that he dispenses throughout the show. Here are just a few he dispensed. Note, they never go in order during the show so you have to wonder if he really has a list or if he just randomly throws out numbers with advice...

I'm sure I see a book deal being thrown at him soon.

Dating Rules as told to viewers by matchmaker.

#1- Don’t be weird
#12 -Don’t go fishing for compliments- if a guy thinks you look good, he will tell you.
#19- There’s no room for hypocrisy in dating. If you won’t date guys older than you don’t expect guys to do the same.
#53 – Never bring wedding plans up on a first date- it makes a guy run
#71- most guys love a good catfight but no one wants to date the cat.
#76- I didn't remember this one by the time I started writing them down but if someone else knows, please share.

Editor's Note: While I do believe I will actually watch this show again, for the life of me I can't remember the name of the show or the "host" so if someone wants to clarify, feel free to clarify.
