You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
ExplainIt really is OVER for WidowHusbandCels.
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"Explain
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.
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.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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
For a wife to become a widow, her husband dies; therefore it really is OVER for him.Explain
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.I dont think there's any real difference in dating a widow
Wrong forum.She is 54
Any useful advise would be appreciated.
There are literally two pages of advice about this woman, so clearly people here are willing to give advice regardless of her age.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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
That doesn’t mean the man has his life together.There are literally two pages of advice about this woman, so clearly people here are willing to give advice regardless of her age.
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.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,
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.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.
What in the heck are you talking about bad boy. The woman that I know that is a widow.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,
