MARY'S PHILOSOPHY FOR RISK ASSESMENT AND COMPATABILITY ASSURANCE DATING

The purpose of this document is to establish firm requirements and a philosophical understanding for the rule of 3 or 3/3/3.

The 3s apply to behavioral relationship guidelines and status achievement for 3 weeks, 3 months, and 3 years. NOT to be confused with 3 hours, 3 days, and 3 weeks - which for some odd reason seams to be a common misapplication of this particular philosophy.

3 weeks
Requirement Goal: Relationship status
Do not proclaim someone to be your boyfriend or girlfriend until you have been seeing each other in a consistantly heartfelt manner for an absolute minimum of 3 weeks.
Reasoning: adequate "chemistry" can firmly be established immediately upon a potential partner crossing the relationship radar. This is why 3 weeks is critical. Chemistry is simple, base, and is absolutely no measure of a persons value, interest, intent or motive. Once chemistry is flipped on - it is peaked out and hardest to resist. If it is NOT hard to resist - you do not have a match. While passion isn't everything - it is important. Additionally, you will have identified after 3 weeks of observation and experience the surface nature of the individual. By that time - you should have a non-romanticised view of their intellect and nature.

3 months
Requirement Goal: Sex
Sex (for woman) is inevitably emotional. The investment of your physical body opens the door for a flood of emotions that can become quickly irrational. It takes no less than 3 months to validate whether or not a person is worthy of your complete openness. Plus - limiting your number of sexual partners increases your personal value... simple economics of supply and demand. If something is easy to get - it just plain isn't worth as much.

3 years
Requirement Goal: Marriage
Marriage is about taking care of each other. If you're still doing that after 3 years - consistency is important. If being a supportive, loving, selfless partner for said individual isn't a priority - you shouldn't commit your life to one another.

Only time will tell... and when you are a romantic sap - it is easy to get your heart kicked around. Momentary fun and artificial acceptance aren't worth selling your soul for.
