Yep, the 3 day rule is the best way to go!

Whenever you want as long as they still remember you. '3 day rule' is laughable.

I think 2 days because 3 days kind of signals to them that you've been thinking about when to call them and waiting if you get me...

About 6 months later, when you suddenly realise you stil have their number in your phonebook and have not yet called. If they were genuinely interested, they will remember you straight away :wink:

Quite often I ask for girls' numbers at parties then forget I have them, so I only see it when I look in my phonebook, I just call them anyway. If I remember, normally 3-4 days is good I think.

Don't think it matters to be honest. 2 days would work.
Give you a chance to get over the hangover. :wink:

Friday night-------------Sunday evening, the rule I usually follow, or shifted along from that

You respond: "What 'three-day rule'?"

Then, phone them after four.

Let's say you meet someone at a party.. they give you their number and ask you to call them. How long do you think you should wait before you ACTUALLY call them. What length of time is JUST right (not too desperate yet not too long?) I know there isn't an exact length of time but I just want your thoughts..Thanx.


Ten years. If they haven't changed number; died; forgotten about you; married and had children; or changed gender - then they'll be pretty impressed.
