Hello Dr. Neder:

This last weekend, I bumped into an old friend that happens to be friends with my ex. She was with another friend with whom I hit it off really well. We all decided to go hang out for a while.

She and I flirted quite a bit and we spent the entire evening together. She and I took a taxi home where I kissed her on the cheek when we got to her place.

She gave me her Facebook name and I friended her. As well, I left my number with out mutual friend.

Since all of this happened, I haven't heard anything from her. I may just be getting a little impatient, but I'm not sure what to do to keep her interested.n===========================
Hello!

Why didn't you close this girl for her digits when you had the chance? Now, you have to play the Facebook game with her, going back and forth and you STILL have to get her number anyway! That's terrible form - and you'd better trust me on this one - she IS going to play you here! You set yourself up for this and now she's going to take full advantage of it.

Here's a simple rule: don't EVER accept only an email address or Facebook or MySpace connection! It's far, far easier to play you and try to keep you on the hook as long as she can without going anywhere. This is exactly what is going to happen now.

You didn't bother asking me a question here - you just told me a story, so I'm going to have to assume you want an answer as to what to do now.

The answer is to get her damn digits already! If she won't give them to you, you're going to have to kick yourself for being so dumb and move on.

Tell her to give them to you and CALL HER; DO NOT try to flirt or date this girl on Facebook! You're just going to cause her to lose interest very quickly and you'll lose her. Get to another date right away and turn on the charm. This HAS TO (and I mea
HAS TO) be done in person!!!!

Best regards...

Dr. Venus Nicolino: You Have To Make Yourself Available To Find Good Relationships

The idea of making yourself more desirable by making yourself less available doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
