"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Any experience with dating a Widow?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Not sure if you are asking about the general expression or how it relates to this thread in particular. I think the original expression was something along the lines of "Its over for Incels" and it became something of recurring inside joke to change the phrase slightly to whatever situation was being discussed. Example if height was being discussed someone would say "Its over for HeightCels"

I've never been in this situation but I have a friend that was a straight up full blown man-wh0re that met a girl who lost a husband two years previous. He never held back and encountered no resistance.

As the others said, it shouldn't be a problem. Proceed like it was any other woman. They all get horny and want easy dihk when they haven't had any in a long time. Might as well be you that scratches that itch. Figure out the rest later.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I’m dating a girl whose husband died in 2025.

She still has pictures around her house of him. Not sure how he feels looking at me while she’s giving me a BJ on the couch. But I’m cool with it.

If a woman is really into you then all her previous boyfriends become irrelevant to her (dead or alive).

I have a neighbor who moved into my neighborhood about 6 months ago and we have grown close the last few months. About a month ago she was over at my house and she told me that she had lost her husband about 10+ years ago. We are getting along great at this point, but I have no experience with this, Any useful advise would be appreciated.
As long as you feel confident that she had nothing to do with herself becoming a widow, I don't see why you would treat her differently from any other woman.

As a widow I can relate to this from the other side. Personally, it’s only been 8 months for me and I’m not ready to jump back on the horse yet but know that I will. If you two are doing things then she past the initial grief and moving on. I will say that losing a partner is a lot different than a divorce, emotionally. You may have to deal with some of the “my late…” conversations at times but it’s not a comparison it’s just a window into their past life and feelings. We all carry that into relationships it’s just having a spouse pass away, carries a deeper wound. It’ll also give you some insight to her and what she may be feeling or wanting.

I recently broke up with a woman who is a Widow. We dated for 2 years. Her late husband died 4 years before we met.
She was very sweat, loving and caring. We broke up because she wanted someone to to move in with her and fill in the dad role for her kid, and I need a lot of space. Otherwise just proceed as normal.

I found a widow in my shoe one time getting ready for a run. Creepy af. Like women, they like shoes and they get into everything.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

So have you actually dated a widow? I think you might be correct. But just wondering because I have never dated a widow. This woman was extremely attached to her late husband.

She is 54

Wrong forum.

Sosuave does not give advice on

- divorced women
- fat women
- single mothers
- ugly women
- women over 30

Sosuave only gives advice on hot women under 30. If she is hot and under 30 but smokes and / or has a small tattoo, we will accept that too, But anything else, you are on your own.

There are literally two pages of advice about this woman, so clearly people here are willing to give advice regardless of her age.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

That doesn’t mean the man has his life together.

If a man doesn’t know how to handle a woman who has Great Grandson, he’s got bigger problems in life,

Nobody said it does. Your original argument was that this is the wrong forum because she is 54. My point is simply that if there are two pages of people giving advice about her then clearly the forum does give advice on women over 30.

Whether the man has his life together or not is a completely separate issue.

Thank you Clockwerk50! You are correct. There have been many post on this forum that talk about women older than 30. As I recall B excellent is probably 56 or 57.
