Another week, another issue to dissect. This week we ask our resident male what he thinks of the infamous Three-Day Rule. Do guys really follow it? Do they really believe it? Should we all put our phones/laptops away for 72 hours until it is “safe” to contact our love interest? Or, just like all rules, is this one meant to be broken?
He Said:
Hmmm. The three-day rule is an interesting phenomenon, and while, like most of these ‘rules,’ I don’t think one needs to hold to it exactly, it does make sense. Basically what you want to do is send a message that you aren’t a completely desperate freak or some over-obsessed ‘I made a doll with your hair’ stalker. This goes for both men and women. Calling right after a date, while direct, says more then just ‘lets get together!’ It says ‘I have nothing to do, ever!’ And that is a warning sign.
One thing that isn’t often mentioned about what we look for in gals is if they have friends and a solid base of activities and hobbies. The last thing we want (assuming we are well-adjusted) is some girl who constantly calls us with updates on her location, what she had for lunch, and what flavor toothpaste she’s considering. We want someone who can go out on a date, have a good time, and then maybe the next day hang out with her friends, or spend some time with their mom, or even just read a book by herself. As someone who values solitude, a girl who likes time alone is very attractive, because it means I will also get time alone. Read More »

Picking up the tab on the first date is always an awkward moment. Do you offer? Do you just sit there looking around the room and wait for him to take it? What do your actions say about you as a person? In this week’s He Said/She Said, we dive into first date etiquette. Who should be grabbing their wallet?
He Said:
Paying on the first date is completely inconsequential to me. I seriously don’t care. If I asked you out, then me paying makes sense to me, based only on logic. However, if she wants to pay, that’s fine, too. It doesn’t make me feel like any less of a man. Especially if I’ve somehow tricked some super-employed high powered lady into dating me (bonus!).

I have a confession: I’m an online dater.
A little over a year ago, after my Big Breakup of 2006, I decided I needed to get out there. And get out there, I did. I dated my way through New York City, often with humorous results. Some dates turned into brief relationships, some turned into ranting emails to my best friend.
And though I was pretty picky about what I was looking for, I learned all too often that there is a difference between how a guy presents himself in answers to questions in an online profile and how he actually acts sitting in front of you, over too many glasses of Sangria. Read More »

Awkward silences can be very traumatic to a dating experience. It can cause a guy to start reaching into thin air grasping for any sort of topic that will keep the conversation moving along. Here are some tips to avoiding an awkward silence disaster… trust me this list will benefit you in the end.
1) Relax bro!
Cut it with putting a world of pressure on yourself. You don’t need to do all the talking and remember.. girls enjoy talking anyway. Trying to hard will make you nervous which will lead to unclear thoughts and stuttering. There is no requirement to woo this girl with your conversational mastery you just want to see if there is a connection that will lead to more dates.
2) Ask probing questions.
To have a great conversation you need to find things that you have in common with each other. This can be done by asking general probing questions like How was your day? What is your favorite class? What did you do last weekend? Chat it up over each question and if one doesn’t reveal any common interests move onto to the next. Once you find a common interest from your probe of general questions the transition into a solid conversation shouldn’t be hard at all. Read More »
