Do The Rules Work at all?

I have been online dating, & I've been doing everything according to The Rules.  Waiting 24 hours to respond, not winking, IMing, whispering, etc...

I get a lot of attention which is nice, but here's my problem.....no dates.  The men look, whisper, email, ask for my number, then fall off the planet.  What?????

And those that do get round to asking me out, then cancel or don't bother to follow through.  It seems like once they have my number, they're happy to text until forever.  I do not respond unless it's necessary, or even ignore texts.
