The three-day rule seems to work for a certain type of relationship dynamic. If you are constantly texting your person first, trying to plan dates, and desperate for their attention or validation, waiting a few days before initiating another conversation might actually be right for you. When a flirtationship progresses to a situationship, things can get messy very quickly. You might be hoping to start something official while they are just along for the ride.
Some say that silence speaks volumes and that couldn't be more accurate when it comes to this rule. By waiting a few days before making contact, you are showing the person you're talking to that there may come a time when you're not around. They might not always be a priority to you, especially if you're not a priority to them. And their lack of effort is a major relationship red flag.
The three-day rule will give you the clarity you need because you'll either send a wake-up call to this person, letting them know that the phone works both ways, or you won't hear from them. While their silence will be painful, it also sends a clear message that they do not value you. Of course, if that's the case, your time is much better spent on those who care, even if that means focusing on yourself for a while.
