Curious to know other people's thoughts on 3 day rule. I hate that dang rule, but know that some people still use it, or at least use the rule of waiting in order to not appear desperate. IMO, desperate is calling the next day and proposing marriage, not calling and saying "hey I really enjoyed our convo, do you have time to talk some more?" or something along those lines. |

If you call too soon, it appears desperate,
If you call too late, disinterested. 72 hrs is the arbitrary guide. Me, with in 48 hrs. |

IMO...it's an idiotic rule... Just when the "cool" guy gets around to calling after three days...I'm already dating a "real" guy who didn't have those issues. If ya' snooze, ya' lose! I also find it charming when a man can call right after the date on his way home... I've had that happen quite a few times & it's usually guarunteed a second date for him...

I tend to agree with Ms. P. I think it is just common courtesy if you have been out on a date to say thank you I had a nice time. And if a gentleman asks for my number and I share it, if he doesn't use it I will be out with someone that does.

I call when I think of her.
If I get home and want to say thanks for giving me her number, I will, unless she has roomies or children that might be sleeping... If I get home and want to breath into her phone because I got it off the bathroom wall, I will... If I just randomly call a number and get a woman, I first ask if it's ok to perv her and if she says yes, I call her right back... -smirk- -gets autodialer ready for tonight- |

I didn't even know the rule existed. No wonder I'm single.

I didn't even know the rule existed. No wonder I'm single. Bah, rules are made to be broken, especially antiquated ones that seem to put weight on society's opinion of what is/isn't acceptable. I think that if you want to call, you should, as long as you're not displaying stalker like tendencies. |

Take a walk around Bronner's. You'll be utterly amazed. :-) The city of Frankenmuth is a bit of a " tourist trap " but it's still a pretty cool place to just walk around. |

I think the rule is a little out dated. Do you have his number, if so give him a call.
I do thinkg that if either one of you had a good time, with each other a thank you again is called for. I even do a thank you email after having a nice chat or IM session with a guy I am interested in. |

I think that if you want to call, you should, as long as you're not displaying stalker like tendencies. I joined Mingle around the time Hurricane Ike hit. I had almost no time to call my own. Dating was out of the question. Occasionally, I would look at some on the women on Mingle and save the ones who appeared interesting. Months later I learn that people who save profiles but don't send emails are considered stalkers, sorta. Duh! LOL |

IMO this rule is a crock of sh*t. If I give a guy my number an he uses the 3 day rule, chances are I ain't gonna answer the phone when day 3 comes around. If a guy is interested he should just call an put it out there that he's interested. Get over the "I've been hurt an I'm scared to have it happen again" BS. Nuthin ventured, then nuthin gained.

I've been added as a favorite a number of times, without having them contact me. I figured either they'd decided they really liked reading my nonsense and wanted to revisit often (yes, that is a joke at my own expense, lol) or they were working up to contacting me. Either way, if I don't know them, I'm waiting for them make the first move because I'm evil like that. Well, evil and I choose not to make assumptions! As for it being stalker like, that never entered my mind. Thanks for that, I'm all paranoid now!!!!! *grins* |
