Everyone knows about the Three-Day Rule, right?
For those of you who’ve been out of the dating merry-go-round for a while, believe in arranged marriages or just moved here from the planet Zoltar, here’s an explanation of the Three-Day Rule from Dating 101: Guy meets Girl. Guy asks for Girl’s phone number. Guy waits three days before calling Girl to ask her out.
While I am sure this was a charming way to woo a lady back in the 20th century, I think the whole concept of the Three-Day Rule is well past its expiration date.
Why?
Well, to start, it’s a game. I love football and board games (especially Monopoly, Risk and Twister) as much as the next person. But I think we need to stop playing dating games once we get Grown-Up jobs and lives and a phone that doesn’t automatically ring up Bert and Ernie.
