"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've been searching the site for over an hour now and didn't find an answer, so I'll ask this question:
situation: had a really nice date with that girl on Wednesday. At the end she said "I hope we'll see each other soon again."
I tried to call her on Saturday afternoon, but she didn't answer. Some hours later she sent me an SMS message saying "Hi :)! I was so focused on my work that I forgot to turn on my phone's ringing tone. Have to work now :(. Don't want to..."

So, when should I call her again?

And in general: Is there a timing thread? I couldn't find one. I know when to call after getting the number (not the next day), but later on?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

FFS, just call.................................

Only single rule I follow with phones is that I generally do NOT call morning/daytime because people are normally preoccupied/busy then...

She already left you a great opening TWICE (First she says she hopes she'll see you again... Then she SMS you back later apologizing or not having ringing on....) From the SMS I'd probably call/SMS her back with some comforting or whatever about her hard work whatever, maybe say you'll reward her hard work by spending time with her or whatever.

But I thought calling all the time (i.e. the next day after i didn't reach her) seems desperate?

CALL ANYTIME EXCEPT (fri/sat) and ALWAYS after 3pm

I always call around 7 or 8 pm, on a sunday, I know if she has a hangover she is just winding down, almost everyone is available on a sunday night and leaves you still some time if you want to meet her THAT day

Calling all the time ye, but when you had a great date and whatever and she's even apologized for not picking up the phone you can contact her, or better yet trick her into calling you (Some funny sms retort or whatever)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I don't think I understand that.
Anyway, I just called her and she agreed to another date. :)
