A dumb dating rule!


Seriously people, what is the deal with the 3 day call rule when dating. I think it is crap and it tells me that they weren’t that interested or they couldn’t have waited that long.


What are your thoughts?

  1. yeah I think rules in general are crap in this arena. I mean if you wanna do something do it, tomarrow you could be hit by a flipping bus.. and now you missed the boat.

    unless your telephone is broken...

  3. I think it works when you're 12. Honestyl I think its for people who like to play games.

  4. Definetly crap. Mr. Wonderful texted me within hours of meeting me...if someone is interested and you're just as interested back, the "rules" don't apply.

  6. What's the rule? If I like a woman, I call the next day, and I definitely call within 3. But I'm probably breaking the rule.

  7. Most of the rules surrounding dating are crap. But this one especially!

  8. SO glad you posted this! I do think it means he's into playing games. And who wants a playa? Even if he is cute.

  9. It's bullsh*t.

    If a guy makes me wait, then he is absolutely NOT for me. Move along mister, I'm not interested. NEXT!

    He can go find a girl that'll put-up with his cr*p.

  10. I'd play it different than the rules. After the first date I'd get up, eat the breakfast she brought me, go brush my teeth come back to bed, mess with her some more kiss her at the door and leave, calling her that evening thanking her for the good night and day and telling her I would enjoy doing that again sometime.

    See how easy that is?

  11. ok. help me.. as you might know I am not dating yet..SO what is the three day rule???? gosh maybe I should never date!! LOL!

  12. My rule is that I will give a guy three days to call me before I decide that he's not interested in me.

    I like it when guys call as soon as the next day. Nothing wrong with that. I was wondering if men still follow it or not.

  13. I've never gone by that rule. If you like somebody after a date, call them. Period. I suppose the next morning sounds a little desperate (lol), but three days could be long enough to move on for some people.

  14. Complete and utter crap. I hate dating rules almost as much as I hate dating. Hang in there...

  15. There are rules? Fuck a whole lotta that! Next day as soon as it's convenient is when I call...

  16. I think that rule is obsolete. I like it when I get a sweet text message the night of a date. And, a call the next day is nice too. I don't think it's stalkerish at all.

    If a man wants to date me, I expect him to woo me.

  17. I'm sorry....I forget what dating is??? ;)

  18. Heck, I wouldnt know. I never dated anyone who followed the 3 day rule. In fact my now husband basically moved right in 3 days after our first kiss. What kind of 3 day rule is that?? LOL

  19. I like Senorita's rule. If you don't call me within 3 days, you're out. NEXT!

  20. Do guys really still follow this rule? I was never a rule follower. If I liked a guy I'd say, "give me a call tomorrow". If he didn't call, his loss. I didn't answer on day three.

  21. IF.. I were dating, this rule would be thrown out the window. If I really dug a dame, I'd be calling her the next day. I wouldn't over do it, but I'd let her know I indeed had a great time and would make it known that there is some interest there. That's just me though. Maybe it comes with age, but I feel life is too short to play games. Know what I mean?

  22. It's a stupid guy rule. Guys can be superstitious about it all....believe it or not, they are sometimes as nervous about calling as you are about them calling. Doesn't mean he doesn't like you, just means he may have immature friends bending his ear.

    I personally believe you should call sooner if you are truly interested.

  23. Yup, gotta with with T and Senorita on this one. If I don't hear from him within three days, POOF. I'm off to the next date.
