In dating, does the three day rule apply or is it ok to call or text her sooner? Never gave it much thought but now I'm curious what you think.

Call whenever you want. Those rules are stupid.0

You'll never win.
Some will say call the next day.
Some will say that's too soon
Some will say 3 days is too long.
Do what you feel like doing.0 -

That's what I think but I actually know people, men and women, who swear by it.0 -
If you like her call her. I'd actually be pretty psyched if my date called me right after the date to say he had fun.0

on our first date, my husband dropped me off at home and called me 20 minutes later. I was thrilled0

Then those people are a waste of effing time.0 -
If the date went well and you really liked her, call her the next day. If you wait three days, she is going to think you aren't into her, and when you finally do get around to making the call, she will have already turned into the psycho "why didn't you call me?" chick, all because you wanted to play games.
If the date was okay and you're open to seeing her again but you weren't blown away and may be thinking about making plans with someone else, it's okay to wait a day or two longer and give it more thought.0 -
Don't call too soon. I had a guy call me an hour after our first date , freaked me right out.0

Do what you feel is right. If it went really well, you can call her that night or the next day. 3 days is kind of long. When a guy calls me 3 days later I feel like he's not really into me.0

If you're texting her or calling her to tell her that you had a good time, and would like to do it again, anywhere from the minute you walk away to the next day is fine.
If you're texting her or calling her to tell her that she is the love of your life and you want to marry her and have babies and grow old together (after the first date!), that's kinda creepy.
Girls like me don't want you to play games. If there's a spark, why wait 3 days to confirm it? If she texts back or feels the same way about wanting to go out again, she'll let you know. IMO, the 3 day rule should be abolished.0 -
Call her the next day, then say "Mary?" "Wait, no, Kelly?"
when she tells you her name then be all "Ohhhhh, the one with the (wrong color hair)."0 -
If you're in to her, call the next day, in my opinion.
If someone called me right after the date, I'd find them a bit to eager and clingy.
If you call on the 2nd day, it's like you're not really in to them, but giving it a 2nd chance.
If you call on the 3rd day, it's like you've made other plans and they fell through, so you called the chick back because she's the last option... However, texting right after is fine by me.
You'll get a feel by what you should do after you go out with the person though, don't sweat it0 -
How did you leave the last date? Did you say you would call/text her? If you said you would call, maybe text her to see what time suits her - I always found that quite considerate of my boy. Rules are silly. If she is worried about the rules, next.0

If you're into her let her know. Most mature women don't want a guy who plays head games. Send her a text to let her know you had a good time and if she writes back call her the next day to set up a second date.0 -
I'd feel a little sad if a guy didn't contact me for that long after a date0

Hysterical!!!
Ok, now, to answer the question, there is no need to wait three days. Especially as connected as we are in society. Three days can come off as you're not interested. I know for me a simple text can make me smile big time.0 -

I didn't just cap off a date. I've just heard this a lot and was just looking for opinions.0 -
I hate playing games. If I had a good time, I'll text when I get home to say so. And I appreciate it when someone does the same for me.
Be yourself, and if they freak out because you called/texted without following a three day rule... well maybe that person isn't going to mesh well with you after all. Besides, the time of a text or a phone call isn't going to make or break if someone is attracted to you.0 -
The best option: After the date, by about an hour, send the girl a text saying you had fun and would like to do it again. It's non-confrontational, it won't send her packing, and if anything it will reinforce that you like her. Hopefully she'll head to bed thinking about what to do with you next0

Call whenever you want. If she's a game player and turned off by it - at least you know now. No one likes games.0

rules are stupid and outdated, if you like her-call her (don't text, call!) when you feel like it. Sooner the better. She'll love it:)0 -
You watch too much "how I met your mother", lol0
-
Sooner0

The rules are used to manipulate someone into thinking you're desirable. You know what's desirable? People who aren't manipulative. Call when you want to call, and be honest: "hi, I had fun with you, and couldn't wait to talk to you again." Is there a person in this world who wouldn't take that as a compliment?0

My (now) husband text me like 5 minutes after I left the bar the night that we met and I gave him my number.
I say whenever is fine...and 3 days is kinda long to a girl who is "waiting by the phone"0 -
On our first date, my husband called me as soon as I left his sight to tell me he had a good time. He was so sweet and funny about it, I was hooked. Call when you want, rules are stupid.0
