Do you remember that old school dating rule that you had to wait three days before reaching back out to someone you were interested in after your first date? 

It went something like this: a call or text on the first day… too eager. Contact after 2 days seems planned. Naturally, the third day is the optimal time to reconnect if you want to see your date again. 

Right? Well, not so much anymore. Dating has evolved since the three-day rule was the norm. With online dating and the ease of swiping left or right in a dating app, there’s no time to wait—and, truthfully, why would you? 

The demands of day-to-day life, a career, and kids fill most people’s days. So if there’s someone you want to get to know better, why make them wait days to find out more?
