For years, women of all ages have come to me for dating advice. I’m not sure exactly when it began, or why I give off a sort of confidence and understanding of what is frankly, the most complicated universe of its own – dating. But, for some reason, I do.
It’s funny because I used to be insecure in my own relationships and even found myself not knowing exactly when to call to him (answer: never) or when to laugh at one of his jokes (answer: always). But now, as Smart Girl Knows, I finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I have written down all of the dating rules, step by step, detail by detail.
It is always much easier to give dating advice than it is to actually make use of it yourself, but still, I find that any guy I want, somehow, someway, wants me back. As a liberal, “feminist”, I don’t conscientiously practice a religion, but, if there’s something I blindly believe in, it’s the Smart Girl Rules to getting the guy.
In our world today, with social media and smartphones taking over our lives and changing everything we thought we ever knew, we need to re-establish the rules of the dating game with a brand new set of guidelines.
The Smart Girl Rules are sacred. They are are a pact. They are the here-and-now rules every woman living in the 21st century needs to know. At first, you may be afraid to try the Smart Girl Rules on the next guy you start dating, but once you vow to follow, but really follow them, you’ll be surprised to see how much they actually work.
As Beyoncé once said, “I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest.” Okay, so we’re not Beyoncé, but as always, she’s right, and we are so much stronger than we think. And with that, ladies, whether it is in the world of politics or in the world of dating, we must stick together as a team. If you listen to the Smart Girl, women will have the equality and power we deserve in the dating world. The Smart Girl Rules are strong, like a Venti double shot latte, like that way-too-handsome-to-be-straight CrossFit instructor, like the urge you have to eat a midnight chocolate snack when you’re on your period.
Times have changed, and when push comes to shove, who run the world? Smart Girls.
