"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've been making out with that girl last night (Saturday), our second date.
When we parted she said "Give me a call."
Stupid me replied "Oh yeah. When do you have time?"
She: "Wednesday night."
Me: "I don't think that I have time then."

Now I'm wondering when I should call her. Today (the next day) (seems a bit clingy, doesn't it?)? Monday?

I did a search on the forum, but I just found that, when you had sex you should call the next day, no physical action => wait a few days.
But how long when making out?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Dude! If she tells you she has time for you to call on wednesday, don't call her BEFORE wednesday!

Don't take all of these rules so damn literally.

Maybe I didn't express myself clearly: On Wednesday she has time for a date.

Okay.. that part didn't come across to me. Even so, don't feel obligated to call the next day just cuz you made out. I think the point is to not think about it too much. Call whenever you feel like it. I don't believe these rules should be taken literally in every situation.

If you closed without kiss: wait 5 days
If you closed with kiss: wait 3 days
If you laid her: call the next day..

I don't believe they should be applied like this. Just don't call the very next day cuz you might come off being too eager. That's why this rule was invented. Feel free to disregard these rules when you believe they don't apply. Just as long as you won't come off as an afc that has nothing better to do than chase the very first female he comes across that actually seems to like him.
