Dan's Rules

I have a set of rules that I live by. My rule #1 is that I do not do one night stands. It helps to protect the other party involved as well as me. They wanted to know my other rules. I told her I make them up as I go. I was told that did not make them rules. Why not? If I am making the rules, why can't I make a rule about the making of the rules. It sounds logical to me. I was told "Dan's rules suck!" Yes, at that point and time I did not like that one either but we survived Dan's rule #1. I compared my rules to Gibbs' rules on the television show NCIS. DiNozzo got them, or most of them. Gibbs had a list much longer than mine. Maybe I should start writing some of these down.
