No disrespect to Harry or WDW, but this is what I was thinking. I honestly believe that my waiting till Monday (3-4 days) before contacting her might be too much as it is. Strike the iron while it's hot, right? The thing is, from MY experience, scheduling dates too far into the future is also bad. Girls tend to "forget" and flake. A lot.
Oh, .Paradox., .Paradox., .Paradox.....
You actually believed those girls who forgot & flaked on you had high interest? Another sign of brainwashing that women in this country have led you to believe. Girls who have high interest in you not only don't forget dates far off into the future, they call YOU up to remind you for fear that YOU may have forgotten.
You're a dude, so let me ask you: in all your years of dating, have you ever once forgotten to show up for a date with a girl that you were REALLY wanting to get with? The same is also true for women - they have also never forgotten a date with guys that they wanted to actually get with. You know who they DO forget dates with? Guys they're just iffy about or who they have LOW INTEREST in.
And, in answer to your question, it's not about striking while the iron's hot, it's about being PATIENT and recognizing that, when you're first starting out, a girl will like you more if you spoonfeed yourself to her vs. automatically being available to contact her at all times.
It's kind of like eating a dessert. I like Cinabons immensely, and look forward to eating them all the time. However, part of the reason for that is because they're not a regular part of my diet. I'll get a six-pack of buns, eat them within the span of 2 or 3 days, then go without them for a month-and-a-half. Why? Because then, when I DO eat them again, I'm estatic that I've ordered them and willing to eat more of them at one time. However, if I ordered a 6-pack every day, by the fourth day I'd be tired of it, and by the end of the week I'd be like "eh, I don't think I need to be eating these so much..."
The same is true with a new girl: she needs to not hear from you all the time so that she can fantasize about you and look forward to hearing from you again. If you're constantly hitting her up, or doing it during times you know she'll be busy (i.e. when on VACATION), she's going to appear to like it at first, then start to tire of it. Always play it on the side of being patient. Again, six days is NOT a lot of time. I've dated girls who had jobs that required them to go out of town for 1 to 3 weeks at a time, and when they'd get back they'd be ready to jump my bones because they hadn't heard from me much during their time away. You don't want to get into the habit of contacting girls so soon after dates - give them the gift of missing you. When she gets back Wednesday she'll be settled and ready to hear from you, at which point anything you suggest (and I do mean ANYTHING

) she'll probably be game for.
But hey, what do I know? Just because I'm currently in a relationship with a girl I met online who I don't text that often and who went away for 3 weeks to Taiwan 3 weeks after we started dating (during which time I only contacted her when she contacted me), doesn't mean I have any idea what I'm talking about. Let us know how it plays out, though!
