The five minute rule was designed for couples who texted or called to ask out their partner. The rule is the couple has five minutes after "breaking up" to resume going out using a face to face approach. That way the couple could say they began their relationship using a face to face method. It is important to note that in the case of a lengthy breakup speech, the five minutes does not start until the speech is over.
