The first game men play is often called the ‘three-day rule’. This varies in time and structure, but it generally follows the same pattern. He meets her, sweeps her off her feet, acts like he is totally enamored by her – then doesn’t call. This causes her to be insecure and wonder what she did wrong. Men have a sixth sense to call back within hours after she has given up hope of a second date. He has some good excuse, too busy, work, family commitments. The excuses usually make him look like a paragon.
