All the nonsense about "wait two days to text him back" blah blah. No. If you like him, tell him so directly and use the word "date". I think romcoms are the source of it for the most part, but this book was responsible for a surge too: https://www.amazon.com/All-Rules-Time-tested-Secrets-Capturing/dp/0446618799
Even in Juliet's balcony speech, she apologizes for being so "forward" and saying how much she likes Romeo when she thought she was alone! And a man (?) (probably) wrote Romeo and Juliet. Women have been told it's not modest to be direct for a loooooonnngggg time in our entertainment (and god forbid you be immodest).
Of course, everybody does. And yet I've never had a such a problem attracting people I had to assume a fake personality. Self-esteem finds its own level. If you've got your shit together and are sane doing your thing, you will attract similar people. If you're so deep in self-loathing you have to invent a fake personality to have a conversation with someone of the opposite sex.. it's just like that book for women "The Rules". Like, even if people can't tell you're manipulating and playing games and lose interest at that, then congrats, your prize is you've manipulated someone into being with you who is too dumb to realize you're actually a desperate phony who is faking it and will leave you when they find out! Fun times for the whole family!
I would be a conservative, reserved, religious woman looking for a serious relationship and advocating following The Rules.
Enjoy your hate-read
This is standard bitch behavior (i.e mind games). Nowadays called shit-testing:

If you think of dating as fishing, she is trying to 'set the hook'.
These are the only rules I need
On seeing the domain, I immediately thought it was going to be related to the female equivalent of The Game: The Rules which seems just as manipulative as anything PUAs espouse.
Well, that's an art you have to master much of your young adult life. It's not easy and hard to explain in a post.
There are some books on the topic, some better or worse than others.

for example.
The general idea is to flip the power dynamic so that it favors you, so that he has to "chase" and win your affections. Easier said then done. Sleeping with someone too soon is thought to be a big no-no, as you've already given him what he might want. And you have very little time left in this situation anyhow.
I'd say be 100% honest. And see what comes out of it. Don't be too clingy or needy. Don't do it in bed either. Say you like him, and that you'd like to keep in touch and see him in the future.
The Rules is by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schnieder: http://www.amazon.com/All-Rules-Time-tested-Secrets-Capturing/dp/0446618799
Here's a low-quality scan of the book https://www.scribd.com/doc/195571788/Ellen-Fein-The-Rules
Also check out the Rules Book, I'd recommend it

My friend's mother suggested I read this book and I seriously considered it for about ten seconds
The Rules has a lot of advice about how to get a man to decide for himself that he wants to be your boyfriend by rationing the time and attention you give to him before he commits. The specific strategies in the book are controversial, but I would absolutely recommend it to help jog your thinking.
The Rules is another resource to consider... Even if only to understand the strategies of other girls.
The first date is a little weird. I've always been taught that the person who pays is the person who made the offer of a date. Generally it's the man, because women have been taught that the less forward they are the more men will love them (I'm sort of joking but not really: https://www.amazon.com/All-Rules-Time-tested-Secrets-Capturing/dp/0446618799 )
After that, it should be more of a back-and-forth sort of thing. I rarely literally split the check while dating, but if one person got the last date, I'd get the next one, or if I picked up the tab for dinner he'd get a couple drinks afterwards. During the first date you can kind of suss out who makes more money, and play by ear accordingly.
If you get married or live together you're probably not going to have a chore chart, or like "you wash this half of the dishes, I'll wash that half." You're a team, don't keep score (overtly), pick up slack for each other, and make it work. Who pays for what, especially during early dating, is like a trial run for that.

The “advice” of four (4) generations of women, in one book, completely unchanged yet still identical and true to this day.
Whatever advice your mother would give you, and whatever advice you would give your daughter ... would basically be some spin off of the advice given in this book.
Get that blue pill shit outta here!
