Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider tell In Touch that overeager Jessica Simpson broke every rule in their book. 'She needs to be more subdued,' says Schneider.

1. SHE CALLED TOO MUCH
Men love a girl they can't get, Schneider says. 'Wait 24 hours to return a call or text. When guys get instant gratification, the intrigue is over. If there's no chase, there's no challenge. It's too easy.'"

WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT THE RULES

"...I fully admit to loving that book The Rules—that's my handbook on how I got married. Dating is nothing but a game. So the advice you get in some magazines, 'Never play games, tell him how you feel, be vulnerable and show your heart’—it's so bogus!" —Kimora Lee Simmons, model, fashion designer and wife of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, in her new book Fabulosity

"Don't ever call! If he's interested, he'll call...I just finished reading The Rules. That is the best book,"
"I'm old-fashioned. He's got to call. He's gotta open the door and pull 
your chair out," —Kelly Rowland, Destiny's Child, CosmoGIRL!

"And if he invited you out, he's got to pay,"
"When you really don't like a guy, they're all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they're no longer interested." —Beyonce Knowles, Destiny's Child, CosmoGIRL!

“The Rules is not just a book, it’s a movement.” —Time

“The Rules is a must-read.” —People

“If you play the dating game, then you'll want The Rules II... the follow-up book to the original dating bible. —American Woman

“There is a certain kind of woman who is given to long tousled hair, sheer black panty hose, and acting maddeningly elusive to every man...She is breezy, confident, and independent, as well as coy, manipulative, and very, very hard to get. She is a Rules Girl.” —New York Times

“Waiting around is certainly not what Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider have in mind. Their message is clear: It’s to the battlefields. Arm yourself and become a full-time Rules Girl! Practice them! Memorize the book! Make him pursue you until you catch him! And live life happily ever after. Amen.” —Detroit News

“A lot of good advice...Friends should read the book together, discuss The Rules and the reasons for them and encourage each other to stick to The Rules. They may laugh at first, but if they follow The Rules, it will take a lot of stress off themselves, allow them to be happier in their lives, and pave the way for a lasting relationship with a man who does the pursuing—and feels rewarded when he catches the woman he adores.” —Baton Rouge Sunday Advocate

“If you’re a single woman trying to keep your own life from becoming a soap opera, then The Rules has something to tell you.” —New Jersey Monthly

“Lighthearted yet earnest…Even if you’re engaged or married, you still need these guidelines.” —Jerusalem Post Literary Supplement

“You caught him, now use The Rules II to get him to say ‘I do.’” —Complete Woman

“The Rules are just for dating, right? Wrong. In their new book, The Rules II, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider address the questions their readers have posed—including...tips on how to make any marriage better, happier, stronger.” —Bridal Guide

“We’re not talking about a business deal here, but getting the man you want to propose and then to turn that proposal into an actual wedding date—it’s a feat some women would say can be tougher than any corporate transaction. Of course, it’s made much easier by doing The Rules.” —Complete Woman

“Empowering...The Rules books can give you control over your dating life.” —Mademoiselle

“Drumroll, please, for single-and-searching females! More help is here in The Rules II, the sequel to The Rules, the runaway New York Times bestseller.” —San Antonio Express-News
