barbossa Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I usually have a 3 strike rule if we randomly meet somewhere and exchange numbers for example meet monday text her wednesday if no response call Saturday if no response call or text following Wednesday or Thursday ish spaced far apart enough where i am not over crowding her like a desperado and 3 times because i know a person can be busy or forgetful But if you are important enough to them they will call or text back. If after 3 attempts still nothing? I delete their number save my pride and move on. though still be pleasent if i see them again in public
KraftDinner Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 If she doesn't respond to your first Wednesday text, she isn't interested. Calling or texting after that looks desperate or pathetic, period. If she's interested, she'll respond, end of story! 1
ascendotum Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I used to go with two strikes, but now I agree with KD...though if I am really into the woman, I'd definitely do the saturday follow up, but if no response, then I regretfully get the hint.
phineas Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Lol. After strike one. Pretty much this. I got her number for a reason. She doesn't respond the first time, then she isn't interested. Except. I CALL. And I leave a VM. 1
Bito Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 To me it depends on how well you know the person. If you were friends beforehand and you know each-other well then i would say just once. The person knows you and has already valued you in their head. If they are interested they will call back. On the flip side if its a cold approach where i have had very limited dialogue with the person then i will generally stick to the 3 strike rule as well. Considering you have had no time to form any sort of connection their feelings about you might fluctuate depending on the day. Most will say one is enough but really if you don't know the person what have you got to loose by trying again?
CptObvious Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 If she's giving an excuse, the 3 strike rule applies If she's flaking, the 3 strike rule applies If she's not responding, the 3 strike rule applies If she says she's not interested, you're out. Don't even bother wasting the extra 30 seconds to argue the call.
