Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

while waiting in line for food today during noon time, i got this girl's #. since i was on a time limit, we only chatted for a mere minute or two while waiting in line which is definitely not enough time to establish some comfort. most likely, this one will be a flake. for situations like this (where you didn't build enough comfort), when would you call her? same day? next day? maybe a witty text message? by the way, i did a search but couldn't find anything.
 

"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.

personally i dont beileve in the wait 2 days thing. i call when i want. might be same day might be 1 week. just make the call brief to set up a date! building comfort on the phone usually works against you. call her up say somethign around the lines of. it was nice chattin to you yesterday you seem like an interesting person, shame i was in a hurry. we should meet up on such n such at such time and continue you are conversation. dont use them exact words i dont know ur personality but u know where im goin with it

I'd say that's some pretty solid advice.

In this kind of situation, I wouldn't wait more than 2 days, before calling. You didn't get a chance to connect with her so the longer time goes by, the higher your chances are that she'll flake on you..... Not that it should matter. You got the digits, so you're a step further in the right direction. If she does flake, who cares?

good luck
