Ladies: Three Day Rule?

ItsCasey

To play devils advocate, if a guy does wait three days then calls doesn't it make it all the more worth it when the call actually comes through? That's the whole idea isn't it?

Um, no. If the date went really well and all signs pointed to the guy being interested, I'm expecting a call the next day. If he waits three days, I'll be pissed because I'll feel like he's messing with my head. I want nothing to do with a guy who would act like he's really into me and then ignore me, on purpose, for three days.

This is why women lose patience with men so quickly. You're not waiting three days because you're super busy and want to make sure you have plenty of uninterrupted time to talk. You're waiting three days because you're TRYING to manipulate her. You're trying to control her thoughts and feelings. If you want to be in a grown-up relationship, you have to grow up first.

That would totally work.

If the woman in question had a mental age of 14 that is...

I guess it depends on what you are actually looking for in the interaction. Perhaps if you were looking for a quick fling you could manufacture the false image that you are just so cool and in demand that you couldn't possibly spare the time to call before 3 days or whatever.

If you are looking for any kind of long term relationship however then game playing is pointless. The truth will out. Always.

Call or text whenever you want. The three day rule is obsolete nowadays anyway. Just don't be the creepy guy who is possesive and pushy and stalker-ish an hour after the first date lol! :noway:

Three days?? Geez..I've never heard of this rule. I would hate to wait that long to hear back from the guy. By then I'm already moving on to others. haha
