    So here's the skinny: the "industry standard" is to wait three days after a first date to call or text the person. So what's the "industry standard" for how long you should wait after you have called or texted the person for them to call or text you back?

    The only game-ish thing I do is to avoid hanging out with them too much or calling too often, but that has more to do with me not wanting them to think I'm annoying than me trying to entice them.

    Yes, I have. But these aren't the games that either side should be content on winning.

    I don't play those kind of games at all. Not a day has gone by since we met that Danielle and I have not been in touch.

    I've played games aparently but never deliberately. I wouldn't call a girl back the next day sometimes but but by deliberately resisting the urge, just because I couldn'ty be arsed with it for a few days. I've also apparently played 'hard to get' when really I've been too laid back to bother with the signs the dumb woman was throwing my way. When I'm on point though, I usually get what I want.

    Once you start that game you start to lose sight of what you really wanted in the first place & get caught up in the pretence.

    Be yourself because if you plan to be with the person longer than a month they'll start to realise you aren't what it said on the tin.

    What. Where the hell do you live? A town with three women in it?
    No a big ass city.

    Maybe you should reevaluate the girls that you go for.
    Met, not went after. Secondly, how does that reflect at all upon the women? Should I define you based on who likes you?

    I was already in a relationship, but I wasn't getting any attention. I've been lonely ever since my brother died, so I tend to be rather needy. My current girlfriend... I basically made her chase me.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
