You finally get the attention of that girl you wanted to date. You ask for their phone number and you get it. You call her and make a date for Thursday night. Things are going very well. Then Thursday afternoon comes and you get that call or text. “I know we have an appointment tonight, but can I get a check for the rain? My dog ​​has shaky leg syndrome and needs to go to the doctor.”

I think every man that has ever gone out has heard the rain control line at least once, if not multiple times. What do you do when they offer you a check for rain?

Most guys just ignore it like it’s nothing, but I’m here to tell you it’s a big deal. A rain check offer is a red flag. It’s basically a cancellation of the date. Think about this for a minute. Would you ever cancel a date with Megan Fox? What about Angelina Jolie? And Halle Berry? The answer is no. You would never cancel a date with one of these beauties unless you were on your deathbed, in which case you have bigger problems on your hands and then decide where to take your date.

Now put yourself in their shoes. Would you ever cancel a date with Brad Pitt? Or Will Smith? Never. He would make it to the appointment. If she really wants to be there, then she will be. The fact that she’s canceling the date with you shows that she’s just not digging you. The only exception to this is if she offers a date against in return. If she says something like this then you’re fine:

“I can’t go to our date tonight. I’m so sorry and I want to make it up to you. How about Sunday at 7?”

Not everything will always go according to plan. Emergencies will crop up from time to time. Budgies die and dogs and cats have shaky legs syndrome, right? That is why he will seek the counter offer when she interrupts the appointment. You should not make a counter offer for it. Never ever do this! You’re supposed to sit and wait for him. If you don’t counter offer, toss your number on the grill the next time you cook hot dogs. Any woman who cancels a date with you is not worth your time and you should move on. Guys, memorize these next two lines and you’ll never have a problem with this again:

Raincheck with counter offer date = good.

Raincheck without counter offer = bad.

Simple truth?
