How Soon Should You Call Her

Just like women have a book called The Rules, which purports to lay out in detail everything about dating from what should be said and what kind of timeline works, men seem to think that they need to follow particular rules about when to call or text a woman they have just met.

I'm here to tell you that there are no rules about when you have to do this. Every situation is different and each one has the potential for success. The most important thing to remember is to shed any aura of desperation or neediness and just be relaxed about the whole thing. Once you do this, you are almost guaranteed success. After all, if she gave you her number, chances are she does want you to call, right.

Here are different times to call and how to handle them:

This is the standard and most accepted length of time so I won't say much about it. Women usually expect a call a day or two after meeting so there aren't any real tricks here. The only advice I would give is just be honest. Tell her you were thinking about her or that you were planning on going to try out this new sushi bar and wanted to know if she was interested in joining you. Keep it simple, honest and avoid any suggestion of desperation. If you must, keep telling yourself that there are many fish in the sea.
