A Guide to Nerd Guys Meeting and Dating Women: Making the call Part 2
This post will be short and sweet. Before we get into the actual mechanics of making the call I need to give you another one of my simple dating rules: the two message rule.
Like the two minute rule, the two message rule sets a contact guideline. Here is how it works: if, after you have made two attempts to contact a women, be it voicemail, email, smoke signals, or whatever, and you don’t get a call or email back, it is time to lose the number.
Unlike the two minute rule, there is no room for interpretation or judgment on this one. Two messages. That’s it. Honestly, if you don’t get a call after the first one it really is time to give up hope, but there is always the chance that the first message got lost, spam filtered, or accidentally deleted. However, if you give two missives and don’t get a response, that is her sending you a message and that message is move on.
Don’t be that guy who calls over and over again. In addition to never working anyway, you will sound pathetic and end up bruising your ego in a bad way. Your ego needs to be tough, like Chuck Norris here.
