I came across this article 5 min rule the other day and fell in love with the idea. I only WISH that this could be implemented across the country, however.. I think that there are too many people out there who LOVE to play games and are excited by the "chase" and the "ego boost" they get from being wanted by another- even when in a committed relationship.
I would personally prefer to know if a guy is taken within 5 minutes of approaching me and making converation. Not only for my own piece of mind.. but for theirs and their significant others'. It should be common sense when in a relationship that there are boundaries that you DO NOT cross. It's one thing to find someone attractive and approach them, casually flirt, and walk away.. it's another to have a full on conversation (and sometimes even exchanging numbers) without even letting them know you aren't SINGLE.
I have always believed in this rule: When you are out without your significant other.. You shouldn't be doing or saying anything with others that you couldn't do/say in the presence of your partner. It's a rule I stand by and wish more people would.
What are your thoughts? Questions? Concerns? Are there exceptions?

Love this post and it is all so true. We have had this conversation many times and I don't get why people have such a hard time going by this.
