Corri ... I've learned that "how" a bf or gf while dating should act varies from culture to culture, country to country, region to region and person to person.

I'm curious ... maybe you've already said it and I simply missed it .... what is a list of the do's and don'ts that you, an independent woman in the dating world and at this point NOT a wife, would expect of yourself and of your partner?

As in...

A gf does


  • have her own finances
  • Gifts should only be to her, not to her kids/extended family and should not cost above x $ .
  • maintain her own residence

    etc.


What would your list be? Which part of your "code" are you currently not adhering to, and why?
