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.

Planning Your Happy Marriage

Wedding planning guides are found all over the internet. Brides are told to spend time making endless decisions regarding that special day. They are told to decide on the dress, the venue, the food, the drinks, and the music. But these things are merely the starting point. But what about what comes after the wedding? Some "bridezillas" seem to have forgotten this important point. A wedding day is meant to be important because it is the start of your marriage. The most convincing case of true love will not completely override the annoyance of learning to live with somebody whose habits may be very different from yours. The best way to deal with this is to plan on allowing some time to work things out.

When you achieve a higher salary? It's a good idea to make such things very clear on this particular point. Frequently, couples think they're on the same page when they have not even discussed this clearly. Annoyance follows when they find that they were not in tune with each other after all. While the wedding day is very important, it is still not as important as a couple's entire future. The frustration of having a husband who does not help with any chores or household responsibilities, even though you assumed he'd be willing, will have a more longstanding effect on your enjoyment and success of the marriage than the most beautiful wedding photographs.
