She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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
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.
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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'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.
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,
