The Rules Of Three

The other day I was reminded about the Rules of Three. These rules were passed down to me, and now I am sharing them with you:

Asking A Girl Out

Rule of Three: If you make three decisive requests to go out with her, and she says no, then let her go.
By decisive I mean that you have to ask in a way that does not leave the possibility of a "maybe." Calling and leaving a message, or asking her out on a specific night works. Saying something like, "Do you want to hang out this weekend...?" does NOT work.
*Tip: Don't make three attempts in one week; she will think you are a stalker.

The Start of Dating

Rule of Three: You should have want you want in three dates.
If you just want sex and you don't get it in three dates, then let her go. If you are looking for a companion and you don't feel like you are getting to that after three dates, then let her go--it's not going to work out!

The Relationship

Rule of Three: If you notice that you're getting less than 1/3 back of what you put into the relationship, then let her go.
Most relationships have one person who puts in more effort then the other. If you're noticing that that's you and you're getting less than 1/3 of it back, let her go. This can become a trap.

*Tip: If it feels like she is putting in three times the effort as you are, KEEP HER. Some people are just givers; capitalize on it!
