Following the advice from this book, Kate Middleton married a prince, and Blake Lively won the hearts of more than one Hollywood bachelor. In `The New Rules,` the authors help modern women and young girls communicate via Facebook, Skype, SMS, etc., and still remain mysterious, maintain the hunter`s instinct in a man when there is so much `easy prey` around him, get married in an era when everyone lives in civil unions and is in no hurry to take responsibility.

Do not try to change a man or teach him how to live. Do that after he marries you!

Men like challenges and lose interest when the object of their interest – especially a woman – comes too easily. The secret way to get a guy: be a difficult task for him. Treat him as if he is indifferent to you, advise Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider.

It is necessary to create an atmosphere of mystery and make a man passionately want to meet you, which is a great rarity these days. `Rules` is a way of communicating with any man (provided that he started the conversation with you first, in person or online), thanks to which he becomes obsessed with you and is ready for a serious relationship.

How to marry your dream man

1. Be a girl unlike the others and look like a girl unlike the others.

2. Do not approach a man first and do not start a conversation, do not call or text a man first.

3. Do not invite a man on a date via SMS, social networks, or any other means.

4. Wait at least 4 hours before responding to a man`s first message and at least half an hour before responding to each subsequent message.

5. `Let`s talk/text later`: always end everything first and disappear from sight!
6. Do not respond to SMS or any other messages after midnight.

7. Do not accept an invitation for a Saturday date later than Wednesday. `Proper girls` have a busy life. And of course, you already have plans for the weekend before Thursday arrives! If he invites you too late, do not reprimand him. Simply say that you are very sorry, but you are busy.

8. Stay away from his social media profiles and rarely post on his page.

9. Make yourself `invisible` for instant messaging. Even if nothing is happening in your life, do not let the guy know by immediately responding to his message. As with any other form of communication, he should wait for the opportunity to talk to you. To become interesting to you, he will have to try hard.

Do not deprive a man of this opportunity by immediately responding to a message and sitting online for hours! Remember, you have your own life (studies, work, friends, hobbies, workouts, and, we hope, dates), and chatting is only 10 minutes and no more. If a guy needs to tell you a lot and ask a lot, he can do it during a meeting!

10. Do not spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week with him.

11. Long-distance relationships: let him offer to communicate more often via Skype and visit you.

12. Do not text men first, ignore winks and flirts on online dating sites.

13. Do not pay for dinners or in any way buy his love.

14. Do not engage in self-destructive actions by dating married men. If he wants to see you, tell him to call when he becomes single. And then no communication, forget him, say `next` – and focus on searching for men who are truly available.

15. Do not meet with a man who cancels your meeting more than once.

16. Do not send a man anything that would be unpleasant to leave with him in case of a breakup.

17. Do not agree to one-night stands and meaningless affairs.

18. Do not rush to sleep with a man. A `proper girl` makes a guy wait to help him fall in love with her, her soul, her essence, not just her body. The longer you delay intimacy, the longer he can court you, plan romantic dates, and dream about you. Men like challenges and do not respect anything that comes too easily, especially when it comes to sex!

19. Do not date a man without commitment! If your relationship lasts more than a year and is `proper` (you allow the man to `chase` you, meet him no more than 2-3 times a week, refuse to spend vacations with him, do not move in with him), then you have helped him fall in love with you and want to marry.

A man wants to see you more and more. But if after a year of relationship the man has not proposed to become his wife, you should tell him that you are an old-fashioned girl and do not intend to date anyone forever. If he starts making excuses, suggest taking a break in the relationship. Ask him to think it over alone and call when he is ready for commitment.

20. Stop dating a man if he did not give you a romantic gift on your birthday or Valentine`s Day, or forgot about these dates altogether.
