The hardest point of a cycle.

"Briana, this is Day Three, your hardest day, just rest and hopefully you'll get better. Text me when you're feeling better."

"Lol, I'm not gonna text you, but okay."

three day hump 

The difficult period of the first three days of substaining from an addictive substance or habit. It is often the case that when you're trying to avoid doing something that you are addicted to, the earliest parts of it (often three days) are the hardest. The something addictive can smoking, drugs, alcohol, fast food or even a close and intense relationship. Once the inital peroid is up, however, the quitting, abstintence and rehabilitation process is more bearable on a day-by-day basis.

"Go easy on Mike today, he's quitting cigarettes. And he's still on the second day of the three day hump."

three day rule 

The "three day rule" is an outdated piece of dating technology popularized by such films as "Swingers." It is a seemingly sensible yet often unrealistic tactic.

The "three day rule" is a rule to prevent a man from appearing desperate or needy after attaining a girl's phone number that he (just) met. Following this rule, you are to wait 3 days before calling in order to create suspense and appear non-needy.

The truth is, it is far better to call sooner but to make shorter calls. This way you slowly but surely integrate yourself into the girl's life, and by ENDING THE CALLS YOURSELF instead of waiting for conversation to dry out, you eliminate any signs of desperation. If you wait 3 days, you may have lost emotional momentum and it may be harder for her to recall the attraction she felt, depending on how well you did when you first met!

A far better tactic to create suspense, for example, would be to send a text message instead telling the girl you will call her at 4:21 on Tuesday (or some other EXACT time), but actually call her at 4:30 that day.

None of this is to say the "three day rule" is completely wrong; however, it should definitely not be followed dogmatically.

Hey man, have you called Clarisse?

No, I'm using the three day rule. I don't want to seem desperate.

How is calling a girl desperate? You don't have to ask her on a date on your first call, you know! Just tell her something cool happened, chat briefly, then say you've gotta go and will talk later.

Are you sure? The three day rule is supposed to work on everyone.

Positive. Then on your next call in the next few days, invite her along somewhere if you want.

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.
