Knowing when you should call a person to pursue a romantic relationship after meeting them whether online or offline is an often stressed over detail that hasn't gotten any easier until now. When Should I call Him? When Should I call Her? Should I Wait a Week? Can I call Tomorrow? These questions have persisted for years only to be complicated by the rise in online dating. Here are some general guidelines that will guide you in knowing when to call to ask for that first date.

Online Dating Guideline - Rules of the past don't apply to the new online dating world. When you meet someone online and the conversation leads to the person giving you their phone number, there are some serious points to consider before you pick up your cell. First, the delivery of how the person gave you their number is crucial:

• TTYL Number - If your conversation ends with the person giving you there number to chat sometime in the future you want to wait till the next day. Do not, I repeat don't call the person that night. And especially don't send them a text message saying hello thanks for the number - that's a horrible idea!
• Want to Chat Somewhere Else? - If you hear those five beautiful words you are almost home free. That's your opportunity to call them that very second and cut to the chase. Once you do call, make sure you set a date/time for the first date.

Public Places - When you are given or get a person's number in public the rules are totally different than that of the rules that apply to online dating. In all cases it is not appropriate to call the person or text-message them the day of, unless request by them. And certainly don't ask for permission to call that day, that makes a person look weak and unworthy. Here are some general guidelines to knowing when to call mr./ms. right when given a phone number in a public place like a bar, starbucks, etc...

• Monday - Call the person Wednesday to get a date
• Tuesday - Call the person Wednesday to get a date
• Wednesday - Call the person Thursday to get a date
• Thursday - Call the person Sunday to get a date for early next week, think dinner
• Friday - Call the person Sunday to get a date for early next week, think dinner
• Saturday - Call the person Tuesday to get a date for early next week, think dinner
• Sunday - Call the person Tuesday to get a date for early next week, think dinner
