Or even how a small thing like a text message at the wrong time could be a disaster. I was thinking about this and wondered, what fostered these ludicrous rules? Is it the media, with shows and movies portraying over-analytical characters plotting and scheming their next moves? Or is it some natural instinct of ours to be so curious to stalk our prospective mate for hours on Facebook? Listen, all I'm saying is I know there are a ton of different ways to handle a situation, and a lot of different personalities out there.
