| So I got a number what do I do now.
Posted: 6/26/2009 8:10:56 PM | | This past weekend I went to a bar and beyond all odds ended up actually meeting someone and having a nice conversation. I have since then went out of town for a few days and then got sick. I know the general rule of thumb is 3 days and generally call back around that period but was curious about what a women's opinion was about how long is to long. Also just since we are on the subject. Is it ok to attempt a second call if for some reason a girl doesn't answer. | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 8:19:33 PM | Yes, I know I'm not a girl... but jeeeez leweezzz guy... just call the girl! You're 24, not 14 for cryin out loud and this isn't rocket science or brain surgery, it's a call. What's the worst that can happen??
Oh, and a little advice... cause I've read it on here from the ladies a thousand times.... there's no such rule as the "3 day rule", except in a guys mind.

Even if it was a short call telling her you were still interested but unable to talk because being sick... would have shown you liked her.
When you went out of town... were you away from all forms of telephones? What stopped you from calling her while out of town? A man who is really actually into a girl won't let "being out of town" be a cause to not call her. Again, the call didn't have to be long and chatty. Just long enough to say you are interested and are wanting to get together when you get home.
Honestly? I wouldn't be so thrilled to hear from a guy a week or two after giving him my number. By then I have moved on and most likely forgotten him. If I do hear from him so late like that, I think he is making a booty call... because he did wait so long.

It's okay to call her a second, third, and maybe even fourth time. However, she could be asking herself why you took so long to call in the first place. | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 8:28:39 PM | Agreed. Call.
There is no "3 day rule" but there is kind of an expiry date of sorts. I mean, she has to remember you! Haha... and if she met you in a bar and you only spoke a few hours, she will not remember you for long. Call her tomorrow afternoon if you can. Leave a message if she does not respond.
As far as the "more than one call" thing? Sure, that's ok - but more than one or two messages gets creepy.

Posted: 6/26/2009 8:54:43 PM | | OP - if you're really interested in this woman, you won't have any doubts about picking up the phone and ringing her again. If the interest is real, there is NO 3 day rule, or any rule at all regarding when to call. YOU JUST DO IT! | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 8:58:38 PM | | Why do people keep saying 3 day rules??? WTF??? why is it so hard to just call someone if you both are interested and you have a number. Unless it is a rule of your own...??? CALL. A lot can happen in 3 days. Especially when people get bored easy. And yes, try twice if she doesn't answer. Sometimes people work, go to the gym, shopping, yanno...lives away from the cell phone...lol | |

You know, you can still actually call someone if you're not feeling well. I don't know why some guys think their fingers won't work because they caught a cold. You can let her know you came down with something but are still interested in seeing her.
Something to think about next time.
As for the second call question: Sure, why not. You have nothing to lose. But I wouldn't keep trying after that if she never calls you back. | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 10:07:25 PM | | Yeah by now I would have given up on you....Unless you were in a coma, you were not too sick to call. If someone gave me that ''excuse'' I'd think he was lying | |

I don't know...but, it seems that every guy I have ever personally known...being sick was quite dramatic for them..even a cold..they could barely move off the couch...lol..
There is no three day rule..personally, the sooner you call, the more tickled I'll be..( some women may disagree..but, most seem not to)..plus, I hate the wondering..and after a week..I'd assume they weren't interested..but, if they called then and sounded plausible..I would give them a chance...
Call her. | |

So you both had alcohol. That's a plus because it's great for when I go "who" when you call. Then I can say, well I was tipsy, please refresh my memory.
Screw the three day rule, seriously. I give out my number 10 times a night and have no idea who they are. I used them for drinks and talking. First one to call me gets lucky. And even then I don't remember them. They text me the next day with "hey". Oh I'm supposed to remember you? Ummm no. Put some effort into it and pick up the phone to talk. Men are becoming like women now. It's ridiculous. Grow a set already! | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 7:49:03 AM | Is the problem you don't know how to use a phone?
She went through agonies giving you that number, she'd have thought "What if he's an axe murderer" at least once :) then you prolong it?
I can assure you of one thing if you employ the 3 day rule, she'll employ the 4 day rule.
Which means you'll be back here starting another thread "Why do nice girls never call me back?" Which of course will just invite a ton of scorn from all the bitter, 3 day held Harpies 
Women excel at mindf*ckery , you are a rank amateur in their world, so just do the decent thing, and call the woman already, before she makes you regret 'being cool' ! | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 9:04:47 AM | | Interesting information guys. Thanks for your input. It wasn't that I was took sick to call or anything but the second impression that I wanted make wasn't me sniffling into the phone and coughing. However, I would be inclined to think that you guys are right. | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 9:07:01 AM | The likelihood of it being a bogus number is high. In which case, this post is wasted space.
No wait........................it's wasted space anyways. | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 9:20:56 AM | Actually OP had you called while you were sick with the flu or whatever would have shown her that you really wanted to get to know her that not even a illness prevented you from calling.
3 day rule?? who the hell came up with that??? Must be back from the days when it took 3 days on a jackass to get to a public phone.
If this was me.... I would have absolutely no interest by now if you called..neeeeeeext. | |
