• The 3 Day Rule

  I mentioned in my last post about how this new guy waited 3 days after we met at a party before asking me to hang out. We really hit it off at the party but afterwards I was unsure about how I felt about him because he seemed a little too into me and I am usually one who prefers somewhat of a chase. After he took 3 days to contact me though, I felt a little differently.

  I fully expected him to text me the day after the party and when he didn't I thought he must be busy and surely he would the second day. I mean he seemed to really like me and we got along... Why wouldn't he?

  When the second day came around I began to wonder... Maybe he really isn't as into me as he seemed. Maybe that's the way he is with all girls. Maybe he isn't going to call at all. What a jerk!

  By the third day I was really pretty pathetic. I thought there must be something wrong with me. What's the deal? We had a connection... I even added him on facebook already! Every time my phone went off I would look down hopefully, and when it finally was him I felt excited and relieved.

  I had never understood the 3 day rule before this. Actually, I didn't really think guys still followed it anymore, but when I talked to a guy friend about it he said that most guys he knows still wait out the 3 days before asking out a new girl. Obviously, from my example it seems to work!

  What do you think of the 3 day rule? Guys, do you use it after meeting a new girl? Is the purpose really to get the girl to want you more, or just to be polite?
