The Platinum Rule!

Guys, I have a  few advice after seeing something in How I Met Your Mother which is called the Platinum Rules. Being romantically involved with someone you can not avoid inevitably leads to complications because you have no break from them. The point of the rule was that one should never date someone seen on a regular basis, such as someone at your workplace or somewhere you see them often. Why? If you're not that serious with her, you gonna regret going out with her in the first place! You might damage something that cannot be repaired. Anyway, there are eight steps or progression in the Platinum Rule.
The first step would be,

ATTRACTION
  • first thing you wanna know, the ATTRACTION is undeniable or so said Barney Stinson. Sure, she got a cute face or same hobbies as yours or maybe interesting personalities, anything you will be attracted to that made your move, moving on to step 2,

BARGAINING
  • This is the point, "hey, this is might be the girl". "I want to take my chance" or " I'll try hit on her" or anything pretty much that finally made your decision you finally want HER! This is where things become interesting at first which comes to step 3...
SUBMISSION
  • On this point, you finally got her attention. Got her to out with you, on a date. SCORE! ...or so you think. Everything is beautiful at first or you might call the upside of it. This is where it gets to step 4...
 PERKS
  • Yeah, it seems there actually some advantages getting the girl. At work for example, she might be someone with power or influence to let you OFF THE HOOK in case you messed up at work. Or maybe, she is someone with her pocket full spending her every last cent on you, "Dinner's on me". In other words, just about any good things came out from her. At first, sure it will be fine just the way it is. BUT IT WASN'T. Which bring us to step 5...
THE TIPPING POINT
  • After a while getting into this relationship, you find yourself stuck into unwanted situation. Say for example at lunch, you wanna have it with your friends, your girl insisted having lunch with her. Or, you want to go back after a day at college, instead you stuck with her at library tutoring her
  • Sometimes, things we don't expect, calling a girl so soon. Of course, we usually wait for a few days then call her, but for some girls they felt you maybe ignoring her.Then, suddenly got mad at you. Then, you finally realized you getting sick of it and couldn't take any of it anymore. Which comes to step 6...
PURGATORY
  • And so, inevitably you have to do the thing you have been dreading all along. Now, in relationship ectomy is a delicate surgery as it is.But in case of the Platinum Rule, it takes a very, very... steady hand. And that's Step 7...
CONFRONTATION
  • So, you finally take a huge amount of bravery and guts to tell it off to her. Either she changes her way or you're going to end it. Usually it always ends there.But, since you're pretty much gonna see her again soon in you workplace or college. There is no way to escape. You're thought it's over? No! Because here comes step 8...
FALLOUT
  • You seriously didn't think the girl gonna accept it calmly do you?! There's always a fallout or aftermath. Example, spamming your inbox or facebook with regret or just weird poem she's been making up with just to get your attention. Or  like what happened with my friend, his ex's friends keep insulting him whenever they see him. In short, the ending, SUCKS! But, here come the moral value after that. That is step 9...
CO-EXISTENCE
  • In reality, she will get over it and finally set aside her feelings for you. When that time comes, she sees you as someone in the past. Neutral.....don't get any idea getting back with her...
