i know the general rule about single mothers is to avoid them but i have a new dilema i need some advice on. i was thinking about seeing this single mother, but she has a serious orbiter.....her babys daddys brother!!! long story short is she had a kid with this guy shed been dating for 2 years but 3 months after the baby was born the guy passed away. she didnt tell me why or how, and i didnt ask. we've been talking for a little while, nothing serious but i swear the brother of the guy who died is seriously trying to c0ck block me and get with her. maybe i'm reading too far into it and he feels like he "has to look out for her now" but it's just weird to me how "close" and "protective" he's trying to be. i mean the dude is the childs uncle for Christ sake! i can understand being there for her and the kid and all that but i swear this dude wants something more. my gut is telling me theres more to this story then what i know, and usually my gut is right. i know i wont be able to get rid of the guy, but i'm beginning to think this is way too much trouble. as if baby daddys werent hard enough to deal with, now i have some creepy brother/uncle getting in the way.haha
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
what's your take on this?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
