Hum, gotta ask, Soft, what was sooo bad :P ? I'd say it depends on the person, I've had people who wanted to set parameters from the first moment of the first conversation. I tend to stop talking to them kinda fast. And on the flip side, there are people for whom the idea of rules and protocols and such like are anathama. Neither is right or wrong, just what works for the people involved. The ex didn't do rules, or at least, we didn't sit down and work any out, and that taught me I like the security of protocols to be followed, things I can and can not do. I like the little rituals. Familiarity and all that jazz. One of the reasons we didn't work as a couple, but do damn fine as friends. There have been times I've met someone, and it felt right, and there were rules, expectations, directions, and I've slipped into "role" from the start, I can't say it's always worked out like roses, but I'm always the richer for the experiences. So, erm, depends on the person and how they feel to me wrt me. But, I like a clear set of "do's and don't" and "how to"s, I like there to be a ritual about things.
