Call her at exactly 3:22 PM. Just pick up the phone and dial. Leave the rest to your witt. If you do not call her today like you said you would, then the guy who she gives her number to tonight will call her tomorrow, as he said he would.

You now have the Who, the What, the When, the Why and the How.

Nothing to be worried about.

Now that you put the idea in everyone's head, he might as well just do it, because a troop of nerds hellbent on getting information cannot be stopped.

Less than 3 days and you look needy and pathetic.
Longer than 3 days and you look like an ass and don't care.

Most women know about the 3 day rule :p

The three day rule is stupid. If like a girl and want to see her asap, call her whenever you feel like. If you had any skills then you would convince the girl that the rule is dumb anyway, tnat that you guys should be hanging out tonight

If she said, have sex with me, NOW, would you wait 3 days? Just so she didn't think you were too keen?

Just ring her, don't need to apologise for not calling earlier or anything, just say hey, you're calling to arrange something some other night, as you've got plans [going to a strip bar] tonight.

That'll show her you're not so desperate you'd dump your friends just to see her again, but also show her that you are interested enough to call her and not play some BS laddish 3 day rule on her ass when she said call me tomorrow.

Good luck!

Remember to update...

WTF, she said to call her today. How does that make you look needy. Call the girl or you look like your not a man of your word.

If she said to call today, then you better call today. Otherwise you'll either look like an idiot because it will appear you forgot she asked you to call or because you play by idiotic 'rules'. If you have plans today, just tell her that... explain what they are, etc and lock down a date with her.

Come on now, this isn't THAT hard.

You know why she asked you to call today? Because if you don't, she is going to the bar tonight and picking someone else up. She said she was going to be at the bar tonight so why would she go if she wasn't going to pick someone up?

Man some of the advice here is priceless.....

For those who can and have successfully picked up women in bars/clubs you'll know that the 3-day rule is complete garbage. You call her in 3 days and she'll have forgotten all about you. You call the next day, and even then you will still have to build the attraction all over again as she was most likely drunk when you talked to her. A number is just that, a number, and girls give them out a dime a dozen.

There are two kinds of freedomsbeat threads, one where he wants to come off as a ladies man, and one where he wants to come off as woman ignorant.

I never have the balls to go up to cute strangers but I got this cute girl's number last night in a bar. She asked me to call her TODAY (saturday) and agreed, mostly because i wanted her number but a) I have other plans b) my wingmen for the night told me to wait at least 3 days. But isn't not calling her when she asked me to rude?

Should I call her to tell her I had other plans or just not call her until Thursday, to make plans for next saturday?

So you have balls to go up to the ugly ones :confused:

Anyway. You get a number and nothing is said about calling, it's best to wait a few days.

If she asks you to call on a day and you don't you are already letting her down. It's one thing to keep her guessing, another to just go against what another says.

If you want to have the upper hand (games...I don't care for them), call her, but let her know you are heading out. Don't give more details than just a general description (play pool, see a movie, hanging with some buds, etc)...she shouldn't even ask more than 'watcha doing'. If she starts in with 'are there going to be girls there'...probably time to forget her number.

It's the perfect chance then to set a date, 'hey can't see you/talk to you tonight, but do you have some time to go for drinks/dinner/lunch/etc later this week/next week.'

that should be all it takes. You don't want to play on the phone or IM too long as it just builds up false pretenses on the relationship (I use relationship from just F'Me buddy to the limit). Physical attraction and body language are probably one of the largest parts of keeping a relationship going...on the phone/PC each person is dreaming of someone that does everything perfect and forgets all the blemishes and idiosyncrasies.
