I know the moderators here don't like evolutionary psychology and stuff like that, but I want to share some science with you. Pretty much every scientist that has studied this stuff has shown that men are more "short-term" goals for mates (i.e., they want to have sex right now and bounce). Women, on the other hand, have longer-term goals, but they need to make sure their mates can be good providers and will be stable over the long-term, etc... Studies have also shown that men "fall in love" faster than women, mainly because their emotions are primarily short-term, while women's emotions are long-term.

So you guys need to understand that, as a practical matter, men live on a different timeline than women. Whereas men want it RIGHT NOW, women can wait, which gives them somewhat of an advantage in the early stages of a relationship. I'm seeing a lot of guys on askseddit post things like "she hasn't texted me back in a week, what do I do???" Or "I texted her and told her to have a good life because I gave her a day to text me back." The reality is that:

1) Women have a weaker sex drive than men.

2) Women have a more long-term timeline than men, so they don't become "attracted" or "obsessed" as fast as men do

3) If a woman doesn't text you back right away, that says nothing about her attraction to you.

4) Men come off as "creepy" or "weird" to women when they try to push things on their timeline, as opposed to women's timeline.

Most importantly: women will not FORGET you. A lot of guys think they have to text the woman every day to "keep up the attraction" or so that she won't forget them or some shit. You don't have to do that. If today is Monday and you have a date planned for Friday, you don't have to text her before Friday. She will remember you. There are girls that I've met years ago that still text me occasionally even though I only met them once.

If you ask a girl when to call she will almost always say "the next day" but the reality is that it doesn't really matter because she won't forget you. If you wait too long, she might think you aren't interested or are a bullshitter, but just remember that your own emotions are not the best barometer for these kinds of things.
