The 3 day rule and other similar "etiquette" rules were invented to help desperate losers who don't know their ass from their elbow, and need some kind of hard-and-fast mechanism to stop them from calling 15 times the day after they manage to meet a girl and through blind luck get that phone number. I think it's in the right spirit of things, however...
The fact is, if you are a desperate loser, it will only delay her realising this for a little bit longer. If you are a confident, sorted guy who has his own life going on, it will come across that way no matter when you call.
Once, a guy called me ten minutes after I left a club. He said, "Hey, I know they always say you should wait 3 days and all that shit, but I'm not interested in playing games - I am interested in seeing you again. I'm working tomorrow, but I'm planning to go see "
It was just his whole charisma and coolness about it... the whole vibe was, "I think you're a cool chick and yeah, I dig you, and I'm just going to say what most of the other wimps wouldn't dare say to your face." Very attractive.
