On Friday, the GMA hosts talked about The Golden Bachelor Wedding, which happened the night before.
This led them into a segment about dating and certain rules people should follow.
Dating expert Bela Gandhi appeared on the morning show and said that people should date multiple people at once to keep their options open.
Bela also said that she had a 15 date rule, which was not going exclusive until someone until they have had 15 dates over three months.

A QUICK LOVE STORY
George and Ali, 58, were set up on a blind date in 2001 by a friend of Ali’s and an ex-girlfriend of George’s, according to PEOPLE.
Ali wasn’t interested in dating someone who worked in politics, but she decided to go on the date because she thought it’d be a good story later.
However, their meeting turned into love at first sight.
Two months after their first date, George proposed and Ali said yes.
They didn’t waste anytime as they were married in November of the same year.
George and Ali welcomed their first daughter, Elliott, in 2002.
Ali gave birth to Harper in 2005.
“Even that [marriage] felt like tick tock, mister. What’s the hold up?” she told PEOPLE in 2018.
“I was just like, let’s get married. Let’s start our lives together.”
LOVEY DOVEY
George and Ali are still in love with each other now as they were back then.
On New Year’s Eve, the couple shared a kiss a few hours before the ball dropped and shared it to social media for their followers to see.
George and Ali went to French restaurant Raoul’s in New York City.
In the Instagram photo, Ali wore a pink blouse with a feather-like pattern and her blonde hair back in a bun.
George took his glasses off for the smooch, had his arms folded on the table, and leaned into his wife’s kiss.
He wore a gray polo shirt.
“Happy New Year Everyone,” Ali captioned the post.
