By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post The fear of being alone is terrifying for most people I know. We've been led to believe that having someone is better than having no one. This message runs deep in our social fabric and is the basis of many single's discontent. Attached to this myth is the belief that being single mean "unwanted" instead of taking one's time to choosing wisely. The fear of being alone is an irrational construct. Alone doesn't mean "lonely."

I have a dear friend in her early 40’s. She’s got it all, a great personality and a great life. As a dedicated triathlete she’s physically fit and attractive. Well dressed, well-bred, and owns her own apartment in Manhattan (no small feat). She’s inclusive, warm and open. Oh. And… she’s single. She recently met a guy online who was knocked out by her photos, bio and personality on the phone. He’d found the “total package.” So, he asked her ”Why are you still single?” This [...]

Are you single? There’s a big secret you need to know. When you learn the truth of this secret your entire life will change for the better. Why is it that you don’t know this secret?

So, you want love. But right now you’re single. What’s the best way to activate love? Enjoy being single. Do it today. Do it now. Many single’s feel uncomfortable in the “in between” times while waiting loves entry. The tendency its to equate “being single” with waiting for happiness. Wrong move.

Dating Newsflash: When Doing it “Wrong” is “Right”

By Susan Winter In light of modern dating having “no rules,” what’s the right (and the wrong) approach to take when meeting a prospective partner? Clearly, the “wrong” approach is to use antiquated methodology. You’re not using an abacus to prepare your taxes, right?
