The Rules of Jamestown

1) You must accept EVERY date, unless the datee is absolutely gross or looks like he'll probably kill and/or rape you. You know the kind.
2) You must accept every second date offer.
3) Absolutely no sex until the 3rd date.
4) Absolutely no making out on the 1st date.
5) No gay activities allowed on dates, ie, "Musical Mondays" at Splash, Marie's Crisis, etc.
6) You have to let the guy pay on the 1st date, and he must pick the place.
7) You can't introduce him to your friends until the 5th date. You can meet his friends whenever he wants to introduce you to them, however.
8) You must keep up with and report on your "boy interest" homework weekly. This is to insure that we all have the best ability to appear as "girlfriend-girls" on our dates. The assignments are as follows:
Cate: Fanboy movies and TV shows, old and new.
Jessica: Sports
Chloe: Current events.
9) You must avoid seeming overly witty or smart on dates. Sarcasm in particular should be avoided altogether.
10)You must pretend you like the Yankees. Purchasing a pink, rhinestone-bedazzled Yankees hat is highly recommended.
11)You must also keep up with "girlfriend-girl" interests, ie, Perez Hilton, In Style magazine, American Idol (and all other low brow reality shows directed at the young female demographic,) etc.
12)You must keep up with high maintenance hygiene activities. The specifics can be left up to the individual, but a weekly manicure is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY.
13)You must have a date for Valentine's Day, AND your birthday. If your birthday IS Valentine's day, then we guess you just scored a freebie.
14)You must find a "girlfriend-girl" sponsor. This is a 20-something girl you know who is an expert "girlfriend-girl." Befriend her and emulate her appearance and conversation topics on dates.
15)A weekly brunch between Jamestown participants (sans dates) to discuss your progress and review strategies is mandatory.
16)You must like stupid boy humor. As far as you're concerned, Wedding Crashers was fucking hilarious.
17)You must work out AT LEAST 3 times a week.
18)You must order girly drinks (apple martini, vodka and diet coke, white wine, etc,) NOT BEER, on dates. If you must order beer for whatever reason, only Bud Light or Michelob Ultra are acceptable choices.
19)You are not allowed to drop out until you have completed 1 year of Project Jamestown.
20)You must not fall in love.
