the platinum rule 

The Platinum Rule is the rule above the Golden Rule. The golden rule being "love thy neighbor"; the platinum rule is "never ever, ever, ever 'love' thy neighbor" (have sex or intimate relations with them).
The Platinum rule comes from the Bro Code Article 83: A bro shall, at all costs, honor the Platinum Rule: Never, ever, ever ever "love" thy neighbor. In particular, a Bro shall never mix it up romantically with a co-worker.

The 9 Stages of the Platinum rule are: Attraction, Bargaining, Submission, Perks, Tipping Point, Purgatory, Confrontation, Fall Out, and Co-Existance.
Attraction: Getting attracted to the person(s) you see on a daily basis
Bargaining: Saying that all would be alright and the Platinum rule will not apply
Submission: Giving in to the relationship
Perks: Noticing the upsides to the relationship
Tipping Point: When you notice that it won't work out
Purgatory: The never ending suffering that will follow
Confrontation:Ending the relationship
Fall Out: A reaction, a bad one, from the confrontation.
Co-Existance: Learning to live with that person(s)
Such relationships will never work out and will go through all 9 steps if its with someone you see on a daily business.

David:The Platinum Rule is proven once again.
