David Wygant wrote this excellent post on phone rules in dating. David is one of those PUA (Pick Up Artist) bloggers I feel are a joke, but he is a classy alternative who simply just wants to help us guys be more successful with women.  His comparison to the business world is spot on.  I just wonder why so many of us lose our brains when it comes to cellphone use in this manner.

My take on the 5 rules – Return To Manliness style.

5 PHONE RULES THAT MEN SHOULD FOLLOW WHEN DATING

Be Prompt When They’re Prompt
The experts say if a woman calls you within 24 hours, you should give them the same courtesy. Don’t play games.  Waiting around to make her “want you more”.  Don’t be that guy.  There will be plenty of time to show how much of an a$$hole you can be – but later.  Be a gent and be courteous – call her back to give her something to tell her friends about.

Men who have the most success always give women their full attention and respect. It’s not only the right thing, but works the best – usually a cornerstone in manliness.

Look, everyone is busy.  You do NOT have to call everyone back the second you get the message. It’s not game playing – it’s life.  But call back in a timely fashion and don’t give the rest of us good guys a bad name.

If They Waited, You May Also Wait
Men want control of the situation and especially their time. If the woman has decided to slow down, you need to oblige.  Coming across too strong or needy does indeed make you look weak.

And there is nothing worse for your chances with her than looking weak in this regard.  Vulnerable, women love.  Weak, I’m pissed to even think about it.

It’s OK To Call Back Right Away
David nails this one. Don’t buy the hype from the jackholes residing in crazytown. It does NOT look desperate to call her back right away. If you like her and the feeling is mutual, then communicate it.

Tell her you’re not smart enough to play the games and you knew she didn’t have time for that crap as well.  Tell her the game-playing is for the normal dating, but she is worth being treated different – yup, that completely works.  Essentially, be a freaking man about it.

You Can’t Manipulate Someone Into Liking You
Well, not always true.  I like the concept, but its OK to manipulate someone into liking you from time to time. Successful people have done this for years and will continue.

Is it produce long-term results? No.  But if you are just dating and know its going to be a short-term thing, go for it.  Does this play with her/his feelings? yes, but again, that’s life. I don’t like it anymore than the next good guy, but it happens and many times we do it without even knowing it.

Being Busy Is No Excuse
No crap!  We are all multi-tasking nowadays and being “too busy” just says you’re a dick.  Sometimes, it can work as a reason, but do it at your own risk.

Not an exhaustive list of ensuring your cellphone habits for dating works, but at least follow these and give yourself the best chance possible.

    You can text the girl the next hour and text her something funny. That sets up the phone call, and you can call her the next day.

    The article is very transparent… It can be for boys and girls who are in the process of dating. The tips here can be used so that one can handle the situation very well. And your right, being busy is no excuse… because if he or she is really in to you, he or she will make time for you.

    hi everyone..this info can be very helpful for everybody on this planet, if you still need anything from this life…Read…and Act…this is science , everybody should know. Best of luck!

    Have you ever wondered why some people just thrive in life, and everything they touch turns to success while others are always just getting by?

    Most people don’t know how easy it is to create their dream life. They struggle for years trying all sorts of things until they are blue in their face and finally stop believing that they have the ability and power to manifest anything. People think that only a few specially gifted people can manifest miracles and attract whatever their heart desires. The truth is that even though materializing money out of thin air may seem impossible to the rational mind, it is as natural as the warmth from the sunshine above.

    You were born with a natural ability to materialize thoughts into physical form. It is your very nature. From the time you were a small child, you had the power to create your reality. It is a gift you were given to help you learn how to empower and enlighten yourself in this world. By simply learning how to harness the hidden power of your mind, you will start seeing what a magical manifesting being you truly are. The golden key is in learning how to relax your body, focus your mind, and increase your joy vibration.

    “Like attracts like. Whatever the conscious mind thinks and believes, the subconscious mind identically creates.” ~Brian Adams

    The greatest cosmic joke on mankind is that we are just human, and not also divine. When the mind opens up to realize the fact that you must have both spirit and matter to exist, then your playground becomes a thousand times bigger. When you accept the divine aspect of yourself, you stop being limited by the thoughts you’re thinking and start opening yourself to being the creator of each one. You begin to understand how to manifest your destiny.

    The first thing you want to practice is having a constant positive focus of your mind. By holding a simple positive intention 24 hours a day, you can mysteriously materialize your desires without lifting a single finger! You think this is a joke, yet I do this everyday and it works! I simply hold onto the feeling of what I want to manifest as if it has already happened, and trust that it’s already on its way.

    Perhaps you are like many of us who were taught to believe that you aren’t connected to a higher power, or don’t have the time to fool around with learning how to manifest your dream life. You may be running on autopilot, and unaware of the skeptical saboteur that is controlling your thinking. It’s often this negativity and resistance to the new, which keeps one stuck in the same old patterns, income, relationships and tired way of living. You have exactly what it takes to let go, and consciously retrain your brain to embrace the new. This is the golden key to become a manifesting magnet!

    “Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the Universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.” ~Shakti Gawain

    The experience of manifestation is a natural occurrence that can happen for anyone when they have the right knowledge, vibration and awareness. By practicing this exercise below, you’ll begin to create a subtle shift in your thinking, which will take you into FEELING that you can do anything! Below are 4 powerful secrets that will help you start FEELING that you can make this shift and start manifesting your destiny this week!

    Secret #1 Have absolute clarity on what you truly want to manifest. The more specific your intention is, the easier it is for the Universe to know what you really want. Specific desires create specific results. Vague request and unclear goals create wishy-washy results.

    Secret #2 Choose to manifest one thing at a time. If you pour your energy into 8 different desires you’ll only be giving a little energy to that special one that truly matters. Pick the one that matters THE MOST to you, that makes your heart sing, and stick with it (and only it) for 90 days in a row at the very least.

    Secret #3 Hold your Intention for 3 minutes a day. A powerful intention stems from a true desire found deep inside your heart. Choose to focus on a desire that is totally free from any “shoulds”, “need to’s”, and “have to’s”. This means you feel empowered, alive and free anytime you think about it.

    Secret #4 Have FUN visualizing your desire happening for you. If you are too serious about it you’re cutting off that warm fuzzy flow of manifesting energy. Lightness always wins over hardness in the end, and its best to enjoy each moment of your life to the fullest!

    “Vision is not enough. It must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.” ~Vaclav Havel

    If you want to see results fast, it’s important to take action in the world whenever your motivation arises. The Universe needs to know that you really want to manifest this one thing, so taking inspired action steps is how you communicate your sincerity. Anytime you act from inspiration it also increases the level of joy in your body. When your energy is HIGH enough the Universe will effortlessly bring whatever you want to you.

    When your joy-valve is 100% open, and you FEEL like you could skyrocket over the moon, the manifestations you desire spontaneously occur. They’ll show up like magic, divine synchronicities that may make you think you had nothing to do with it. Yet, as you start living from inspired actions daily, you’ll see your desires manifest faster and easier.
