Are these unwritten rules of dating or is it just my rules?

1. Never text or call a woman on a fri or saturday night unless you are telling her you are on your way to see her

2. Don't send messages to woman on a dating site on a friday or saturday night

Would you agree that it's a bad look for a man to send a message to a woman on a friday or saturday night?

No...

Not at all.

Have you responded to my question on your other thread?

I think you're overthinking it. I don't think there's an unspoken rule for that.

But what other reason would a guy be texting or calling a woman on a friday or saturday night?

I meant more for the online dating piece, there isn't a rule.

As for someone you know, it depends entirely on the type of relationship you have with that person. Is this someone you know, someone you're seeing casually, someone you just met and went on one date with?

...To communicate with them? Touch base, catch up or set up plans? Why not?

I'm confused.

Why would this be a rule and who makes up these alleged rules in the first place?

Someone who are trying to get to know that you met online. Other than texting or calling to say you are on your way, I see no reason to contact her on a fri or sat night

On a friday or Saturday night? Shouldn't we be chatting face to face on a fri or sat night?

Because it makes a man look like has no life if he wants to talk on the phone or text on a fri or sat night

I mean communication is much more fluid these days. There could be many reasons from casual chatting to making plans for another date. As long as it isn't a 12 a.m. "you up?" message, because we know what that means haha.

Friday and Saturday are just days of the week...Seems like a silly rule to me. Some people also work weekends. I just don't understand your point at all, sorry.

I literally have no judgement for when a guy texts me. None. Talk when you want.

I have no idea what day of the week it is most of the time haha, yay shift work.

Most women won't respond to a text or call on a fri or sat night because she wants to make it seem like she has a life.

I'm sorry but no, just no. Don't group women into one group, that's a major turn off. And what is this even based off of?!? DECENT people will respectfully respond no matter what day it is.

I'm responding to messages as we speak, and it's Saturday night. I'm a rule-breaker, folks! Living on the edge. Lol

Text messages from men?

Text messages from men?

Dating app messages.

I don't judge any guy that sends me a text message or online message on a Friday or Saturday night. Any guy who is scared of sending me a message for that reason, or judges me for the same reason, wouldn't be my type anyway.

So this isn't "a" rule but your rule.

Have you been listening to PUA BS?

It depends on the times, current culture, and the person.

In years past (I am old, lol) it was up to the man to contact the woman by Wednesday if they wanted a date for the weekend. Otherwise, the woman felt like a second, or even last choice for the date.

If you called on that night expecting to make plans (and perhaps this has not changed) it was a booty call.

Now, people work all different hours. And there are so many more ways to communicate.

If you are looking for a first date, then calling enough ahead of time is helpful so that your date can fit into her schedule. But as you get to know someone, you might find someone that likes to be spontaneous.

I suppose that if you called someone on the day of, and it is a first date, then a woman might want to say they are busy (or they might BE busy, last minute). It might also make you look a little desperate.

If you feel most comfortable using those as guidelines, then use them. You will likely find women that like those rules, and some that don't. The main thing is finding someone that is compatible with you.

If you read through NorthDallas40's journal, you will find that he is very organized in how he approaches dates with a new person. I think the main thing is to make the other person feel comfortable, special, and to be thoughtful and respectful.

I wouldn't ever approach dating with hard liner rules or absolutes.

Yea, idk about these rules.

I was out with a girl friend last night (sat night) and we were both responding to texts from guys.
