Not Your Mother's Rules

The New Secrets for Dating

De: Ellen Fein, Sherrie Schneider

How long should I wait to respond to his text message? Can I friend him on Facebook? Why did he ask for my number but never call me?

When The Rules was published in 1995, its message was straightforward: be mysterious. But for women looking for love today, it's not quite so simple. In a world of instant messaging, location check-ins, and status updates, where hook-ups have become the norm and formal one-on-one dates seem a thing of the past, it's difficult to retain the air of mystery that keeps men interested.

Now, with help from their daughters, the original Rules Girls Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider share their thoroughly modern, fresh take on dating that will help women in today's information age create the happy love lives they want and deserve. Whether you're a 20-something dating for the first time, a 30-something tired of being single, a 40-something giving advice to your daughter, or a 50-something getting back in the dating game, this book has the answers you've been waiting for. The Rules include:

• Stay Away from his Facebook Profile
• Make Yourself Invisible and Other Ways to Get Out of Instant Messaging
• Stop Dating a Guy Who Cancels More than Once
• Text-Back Times Chart
• Don't Just Hang Out or See Him 24/7
• TTYL: Always End Everything First-- Get Out of There!
• And much, much more!

Providing the dos and don'ts you need to stop making mistakes and start finding romance, Not Your Mother's Rules will revolutionize dating today just as The Rules did nearly 20 years ago!

Best dating book ever

This book was very helpful and honest. It covered areas I didn’t think it would. I plan on reading all the other ones. It has been improving my dating life.

Great content, Terrible voices

I like the content, but there are multiple voices for one book and most of them are terrible. Wish there was only one quality voice... Such a bummer!

Excellent book! Definitely the rules book

Definitely has good points! Seen some points that this book points out when I observed couples out in public. Excellent narration, I even read this book over 5 times!!

Yeah, it's still my mother's rules

There really isn't anything new here. The authors, Fein and Schneider, have written several books that all say the same thing: Don't be too easy. Men will treat you like a free hooker if you treat yourself like a free hooker. It's a tough message for both young women today, the primary target audience of this book, as well as older, professional women who are used to going after what they want and not waiting for a man to make all the moves. But that's the message, and it is uncomfortable, irritating, and true with some men. There is no research support for their frequent anecdotes, but there is a great deal of marketing for their rules-dating consultation business. Lastly, relating to the audio version of this book, what were they thinking bringing their daughters in to read? The authors' reading was tolerable enough, perhaps 3 stars. One daughter was only young and unprofessional. But the other daughter was incapable of enunciating clearly. It was horrible, waiting for her little reading to end so my torment could also end. Her reading is a glaring statement against the dangers of nepotism. However, with all my criticisms, which are sincere, I still will make sure my daughter reads this book before going to college. Many young men will not give young women respect; they must demand it. That is the strongest, best message of the book.

I recommend to every girl

Absolutely the best book out there, im 23 and just started doing the rules and it really works!!
