The 3 Day RulePage 19 of 24    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
If I was excited about a guy I met and went on a date with and then he didn't call me for three days I'd think he was not that into me. Playing hard to get would just put me off. I'd already be back on line fishing. I can just imagine he'd then see me on line and think I was not that interested, hesitate to call, decide not to and poof it would be over before it's begun. Silly isn't it. I don't see someone as desperate if they call me, I see it as showing interest but that's just me.

If I'm out on a date and all signs suggest that things are going good, then I would call the next day for a second date. Why not remove all doubt?

If someone says they will call then they should. If I say I will call I do, even to say that I am busy. If she says she is going to call and doesn't then that is a lie I do not date Liars, There is no need to lie for any reason. The truth may hurt sometimes but a lie hurts forever.
If a woman tell me she doesn't call men and I like her then I will do the calling if necessary.

Dont follow the norm - if you like the person, call them. Why play mind games? Its just a waste of time and energy.

OP, you aere MY kind of woman-too bad you don't live near me.

I too think dating time limits and other 'rules' are BS

Same as waiting to have sex on the fist date. Either you are or you are not interested so why wait with BS games.

Dating is bad enough without all the headgames.

Why wait 3 days? That is stupid. If you connected with the guy. Tell him. If you don't feel there is a connection there, tell him. Why leave him/her hanging?

Precisely my sentiments! And the best times seem for me to result from rule-breakage. Lol. This purported rule about 3-day waits is just one of the sillier ones.
If I have not heard from a woman for 2 days after we've met, and I've enjoyed the "meet" (I always make immediate contact to offer my thoughts), I'll be doing what the lady above would do, i.e., get the bait back in the water.

Wow that rule still exists??? I thought it was done long before high school...To me the 3 day rule is really pathetic. For me when I have an interest in a woman I will let her know when I am going to call her. If she doesn't mind me calling her everyday then I will but I won't ring up her phone like more than once a day if I don't get any message from her because I don't do the whole desperation business. If she wants to call me back she has my number but I am not the type of person to wait beside my phone for her to call because I got other better things to worry about. Women are different, some likes you calling them everyday and others don't. That is why communication is the key to know what the person you are talking too is all about.

A 3 Day Rule? How silly!
No, I won't be waiting by the phone for a man to phone...jeeze 3 days is 72 hours I could have had 3 new first meetings by then! LOL. That said...If I felt a mutual attraction as a secure person I have no problem phoning a man the following day to let him know I enjoyed his company.

I can't stand games personally. Life is too short; and trying to psychologically jerk people around to "stay in power" is sort of ridiculous in an enlightened society.

Maybe I'm too old fashioned.

I take someone waiting three days after a date before any kind of contact in any way as not interested, and I move on.

I appreciate genuineness and someone taking the time and effort to say they enjoyed themselves because they want me to know it. That is what I appreciate and that is what I respond to.

I will always prefer genuine considerate feedback to games.

I throw the 3 day rule out the door. If you like someone, let them know! Especially if you want that second day. Of course, there's a chance the person you went out with might or not feel that way. It's worth taking the chance.

whos making all theses rules, what stops one from having fun on a date? if your going to have fun your going to . all theses rules suck , like the one were the guy has to earn it .we both get pleasure and your way has failed. so have fun and remmber we came for the advevture


I agree.. that's called playing games if you ask me. If I don't call you for three days it's because I was legitimately busy and didn't have a relaxed moment to sit on the phone for a minute. If I had a great time with a woman I'd tell her at the end of the night. Problem solved. "3 day rule" opening a message someone sends you and waiting a day to respond for the hell of it.. that tells me that you're about games and aren't serious and that I shouldn't waste my time with you in the first damn place.

I thought the 3 Day Rule existed so one could be sure no nasty infections erupt before going on the second date. I have a friend who told me he took his new girlfriend on a fishing date, and I asked him if he caught anything; he answered, "I hope not!".

If the chemistry was right and both get along...I myself would be wanting to see the person the very next day. Why do folks want to play all these silly little games. OOPS! I just answered my own question. Signed: Not a game player

OMG...3 day rule....Im so behind the times...but what the hell!

Surely from the offset you know if its a 'go' or a 'no go' !

You know from the way you felt around each other at that inital meeting whether its staright foreward and simple i.e. comfortable, whether your gonna meet again (obviously depending on the other party) and whether you even have an attraction.?

Lets face it 'in your face honesty' is the best building block you can hope for surely?...So come on guys!...if you get asked a straight forward question...Please give a straight foreward answer...i.e... do you want to talk/meet/speak again....simple: the answer is either yes/no...

I really do think that the 'time limit' kinda questions should come when your considering furthering a realtionship to the next level....obviously not in days...but weeks/months?...!!!! ?

^^^ Yep. And I can tell in about 5 minutes if I am going to want to see the person again. What the hell is there with "rules" ?? Never heard of them. Rules are meant to be broken anyway. If I click with someone and them with me, I want to see them and hea from them soon. Cut the bullshit people. Good grief.
