three day rule

A rule established by the norms of society about the contact information received by people on the dating scene.

Scenario: A man receives a phone number from a woman in public. If he calls on day one, he will seem desperate. If he calls on day two, he will appear as if his interest is too strong and still desperate. However, if he waits until day three, he appears genuinely interested, and not clingy or needy.
Person 1: I got a girl's number today; should I call her tonight?

Person 2: No, you should give it the three-day rule, man.
