Have you ever had a HB say she wont sleep with you, wahtever, because she has a "rule"? ("I have a rule I dont sleep with men on teh first date, etc)
So lets say you are fooling around but then she stops you with this rule business, say (friendly but incredulous)
"Rule? You have a rule? Really? a Rule? Well, excuse me, but I'd like to speak with your supervisor!"
May not get you laid but will break any tension and get a laugh.
At that point I'd go for the escalation...the rule may just evaporate.
