By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post Are you stuck in the friend zone? It’s a rotten position to hold when you’d prefer to be the “lover.” The fear of staying trapped in a minimal position is equal to the fear of moving forward. Frozen in a battle between two conflicting emotions, we wonder, is something better than nothing? The anxiety of being imprisoned in a category that’s far less than we desire is humiliating. It’s not good for us and we know it. Yet, [...]

By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post The birth of the 21st Century didn’t cause our computers to crash. Something more insidious happened. The rules of courtship changed. Men stopped pursuing. In this new millennium, it’s clear that women are now the ones left in charge of romantic “pursuit.” This bizarre social shift leaves many of us wondering about the current expectations of pursuit and showing interest in a man. This cultural twist has created the very thing women most detest; men are being trained [...]

Is the Price of Admission to the Game of Love Too High?

By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post This is the best of all times to be a man. Sex isn’t the promise of a future partnership. It’s a prize that’s given freely at the beginning of a “who-knows-what” type of romantic interaction. Standing in the middle of this sociological shift, I look around my world to see how other women are feeling about this current state of affairs. Are they happy? I’m not. Do they feel powerful? I don’t feel empowered from this position. Is [...]

By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post A successful venture capitalist can distinguish between a company of true merit and one of false flash, yet fail to see the same in the woman he’s dating. An accomplished businesswoman can walk into a job interview thinking, They’re crazy if they don’t hire me, yet wonder if her date finds her worthy. And the seasoned golf pro can read an undulating green, but can’t make sense of his partner’s behavior. How’s this possible? Why do smart, confident and [...]

The Two Meanings of a Breakup

By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post Breakup can have two distinctly different meanings. They can be exactly what they are, and they can also be the opposite of what they seem to be. A breakup can mean, “I’m done here. It’s really over.” Or, it can be a plea for proof of your love. This type of breakup comes as a threat, which is saying, “I love you. You’re hurting me. I want to stay with you but I feel scared, insecure and unappreciated. [...]
