By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post I hate dating. There. I’ve said it. Let’s be clear about the mechanics of this concept. Dating is only a flirtatious first sniff of what may later be mounted. No more, no less. And like the unwilling sled dog harnessed in line, my soul squirms at the thought of having to “put my best foot forward” to gain a man’s sniff of approval. Dating is the required presentational stage for a possible future interlude. For this very reason, [...]

Why Smart Professionals Are Stupid Daters

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 Unbroken Heart

By Susan Winter for The Huffington Post Rare, but it does exist. I know a woman who has never had her heart broken. Something inside her insists upon her leaving the man she is with before any emotional damage can occur. I marvel at this. She doesn’t struggle with conflicting feelings. They simply evaporate. She’s not cold and shallow, as one might imagine. She’s open and loving. How does this happen? Most of us have had to experience a broken heart to restore us to [...]

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

2024-05-24T15:43:05-04:00By |Categories: Advice, Article, Article - Modern Love|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

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? Traditional rules of approach instruct us to reek of self-confidence and power. Women are to posture themselves as unattainable goddesses and men are to be as smooth as James Bond. When “image” substitutes for reality, no meaningful connection can be made. Dating [...]

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. [...]
