The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right – I first discovered this handy, little, self-help book back in the summer of '08, and I'll admit that, initially, it had me hooked. A good friend of mine – a self-proclaimed "rules girl" – came back from college that summer with a new boyfriend, the supposed "Mr. Right," and a new attitude towards dating – and she credited it all to The Rules.
The next day, my friends and I were all at Barnes and Noble picking up our own copies, which we read cover-to-cover in about two days. We lived by those rules that summer, acting all aloof and playing hard to get with the opposite sex – but somehow we still didn't wind up with "Mr. Right" at the end of the summer.
