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
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
what's your take on this?

"I just moved here from Florida."
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.
