Rule no. 1, there are no rules. Rule no. 2, refer to rule no. 1. When should I call after a first date? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. Don't make rules for yourself. You know, there are a lot of things you can do after a first date. You can email, you can message, you can call. There's nothing cast in stone. I get so tired of these, "how to date" books. I never put that in my book. Never. I don't want you to set hard, fast rules. Be real! Okay. If you feel like calling this person, whether you're a male or female, after that first date, do it. If it's the next day, the next morning, late that night, whatever you feel comfortable with. There are no rules. Stop setting up blocks, because it's a blockade and I see these things in ladies magazines, in men's books. "How to seduce her"? Well, don't call her for three days. "Hey Jack, you don't call her for three days, somebody else will". Wake up, get a life. That's the way it works. Dr. Paul is somewhat of a merick, I maybe different from the relation consultants that, that you hear about and guess what? People come to me and ask me and they like what they hear. And by the way ladies, I have had, many, many, many women call after they've read my book saying, "you know what, I got engaged after reading your book". "I got married after reading your book". "There are some things I refine in the way I did things". Alright. So rule no. 1, there are no rules. This is Dr. Paul. "May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow".
