Does it still apply with texting, chatting online, phoning and everything? I have a wonderful guy and i don't want to seem annoying, clingy or needy to him. I realize that he could just be busy and or forget or maybe still goes by the same 3 day rule. I still want to give him his space etc, but not sure if the 3 day rule still applies or not.

Hi,I dont think there are any "rules" anymore around this because basically you can get in touch in so many ways anyway. If there person wants to go out it would make sense that they contact you mid week or early in the week to arrange a late week or weekend dates with you. if you are seeing each other more than one or twice a week then your basically going to be contacting each other every two days or daily then arent you? Take your time at the start but if you are enjoying their company let them know and keep letting them know so they dont get insecure or forget.Thats my advice- good luck

 There are no rules. I seriously believe that when a man is tryly genuine, he will ask you out within 2 days of the last date, or at least he'll make some form of contact. All the guys I've dated before with whom it didn't work out played games and I wondered about rules and all that...the bottom line was that they just weren't interested.My boyfriend sent me a text the very next day after our first date and then a day later emailed me asking for a second date. Even today he'll be the one to call first.And if a guy is busy or 'forgets' then he's not that interested and you need to back off. If you wanted to see someone again would you be too busy or forget??What you need to do is let him come to you. If he takes longer than a day or two I'd say he's not that keen or he's got other interests. If you let him come after you, you'll have a better idea of just how strong his interest is.
