3 day rule or not interested?

[MidwestUSA]

I don't know where that "rule" came from... I just found it on Google.

 

Date#2 went even better than #1. We ended up spending almost all day together... But he was too shy to kiss me. No big deal. Except that he is playing his 3 day rule game again. Like he texted me right after the date and then again 3 days later.

 

Do men ever grow up?

 

No, they don't. I can lend you a 49 year old for a day if you want more firsthand experience with it!

 

But, truth is, I caught him at 45, and he was still somewhat trainable. We teach people how to treat us. If you want more contact with this guy, either initiate it, or drop the hint that you ENJOY hearing from him. He sounds simply shy and really inexperienced, not a bad thing.

 

If you're coming up to a potential date three, you could even do the asking. I intiated date two with mine. Here I am, four years later. Where shall I send him?

Haha that sounds funny but at the same time reassuring! He is "only" 27 but I guess inexperience is definitely a factor with him. I could SENSE he wanted to kiss me after date 2. He didn't know how to so I just acted stupid pretending as if I had no idea he wanted to make a move. Note that he didn't actually do anything. I guess it made him wonder whether I'm interested in him or not.

 

I will tell him in person whenever date #3 happens. He still has to muster the courage to ask me out again though.

I texted him last. It was just a good night text. I feel as if the ball is in his court now.

 

The bloke is shy - he is probably trying to think of what to say or thinking that you have lost interest because you haven't text him.

 

Either that or he has lost interest.

 

The way to find out is to send something along the lines of "I saw this and thought of you".

 

Basically help him start a conversation with you. If he doesn't respond he isn't interested if he does he is! Simples.

Is this "rule" written in some book or something?

 

Yes - Ironically the book is called "the Rules"...
