It's about respecting yourself and being confident in yourself and how you deserve to be treated. In the past when I really liked a guy I made myself completely available to him. If he called at 10:30 on Saturday night and wanted to see me, I made myself available. If he texted I would reply back right away. None of those relationships worked out - shocking! I don't think you should sit around staring at your phone waiting the "correct" amount of time to reply back or you should lie and tell a guy you're busy if you really aren't - the point is that you ARE busy. You have hobbies and friends and a life you are busy living so if a guy doesn't make weekend plans beforehand and tries to call you last minute, then you truly are already busy and he learns if he wants to see you, he needs to ask you ahead of time.

I think it's human nature not to appreciate what is given too easily to you. In high school all the rich kids got brand new cars from their parents. Did they appreciate it? Nope. And if they wrecked the car, their parents just bought them another. My parents refused to buy me a car. I got a job and I bought a Corolla. That Corolla might as well have been a BMW in my eyes. I worked hard to get it and I really appreciated it. Same thing with dating.
You got it!

Most of the people who responded to this thread have not read the book...

The book isn't for everyone. A lot of people think the advice is old fashion and anti feminism. It got mixed reviews on Amazon.

Like Stawberi said though, it actually is about not being someone's doormat and that your time is too valuable on someone who isn't persistent who actually really likes you. If anything the author promotes people to have active lives already.

Again if your purpose is just to date, date, and date some more, go ahead and be the "hunter" and make yourself available at the last minute. My purpose is to X out the guys who aren't right for me. The right guy for me will be persistent and will do anything to make time with me.
