      I find if you decide what you are willing to lose and not cross that boundary, you can maintain your personal power.
      Really listen to this video and act accordingly.

    She nailed it. I was thinking about waiting 4 days to call this girl after our first date but MY truth is no games and just to put myself out there to the world with loving intentions and txted her for a second date. In the end if someone truly likes you it won’t matter what games are being played because they will dissolve

    How refreshing to hear this. I have always felt that it was a measure of strength and good self esteem to be able to confidently express your love to your partner but far too many life coaches and "relationship experts" suggest that it is a sign of weak neediness which turns off the recipient. What a load of rubbish. The truth sets you free. Own it and rejoice in it and quote right be proud of it! Totally correct that how your partner receives that truth and processes it is up to them. You have done the right thing.

    I was in a relationship, which the guy didn't admit to, that was his problem. When I asked him about the future of it, he gave me reasons why he cannot be with me. Good. After 6 months of my no contact, he calls, but doesn't speak directly about anything. Just like you said Susan, my golden period came😄.
    I never felt so positive to speak up wisely in any of my previous relations about what I wanted, this happened only because of you. I wrote directly to the guy the very next day abt what and how I needed for the relation to work, and he didn't contact...😝 That's ok, but now I am clear in my head. Thanks a ton, Susan👍🏽

    I love how Susan mentions the 'asking questions' aspect of relationships. I have so many friends who meet men and don't ask questions instead ask friends what a man might be thinking or feeling. Yes it takes courage but you have to be adult enough to open your mouth. Without knowledge people perish!

      @pinkunicornglitter 6 років тому +4

      Yes! Some of my friends are afraid to ask their partners questions too. I'm not afraid to ask, because i'm looking for someone who knows how to communicate their thoughts and emotions effectively - so i'm not afraid of any answer they may give. Another thing is to not be judgemental in response to their answers. They then feel comfortable telling you the truth, and sometimes even offer without you having to ask, which makes it easier for everyone :)

      ask other people that only want to see U happy and are never gealouse of your success or happiness.
      🙄
      Direct communication like mentioned in vid makes the other person accountable.
      For example, do U like me?
      If asked and answered yes then this makes that person accountable for there actions.
      If never asked and just assumed by u, this gives the other person an exuse, a get out of jail free card to play U and leave u. All they need to say wen they ghost U after using U is, I never said I liked U!.

I have just recently discovered you among the sea of love relationship "experts". Out here in UTube land. I confess, I only listened to the men, since well they know what's in San man's head better than us women, you are the first women who makes total sense. I will be following you, and writing you for sure . I am 67,and still looking for my Mr. Right. At least I know now, after all these years and many mistakes. Maybe I still have a change? Bless you and keep up the great work. Like me, I am sure as the sun rises each day, many feel the same about you. We need you!!! Sally B.

    As I am getting older, I have eliminated a lot of bs from my life.When I like a person I tell them, the love word unfortunatelly has a different meaning in our society, and people reserve it for a special occasion. I recently told a man I love you, and he responded a week later with I love you, BUT. The BUT part carries a lot of compromises and at the end of it, maybe a I like you is safer.

    Dear Susan, your videos are so liberating. With all the mess out there, I believed that I simply cannot be myself and honest because every time I was, I got rejected or ghosted and because I have never had plethora men courting me, I believed that something is wrong with me. So every time there was someone around, I played the games because I thought it is required but at the end of the day, it never worked and I felt like a fake. I guess I just need to learn how to express myself again and stop the guessing games. Thank you!

    I love this! Soo what i needed to hear today. In a world where we are continually told what we need to do to get the guy. This seems to be the opposite..we are told to be mysterious and play hard to get..apparently that is the Crux of a high-value woman? I love how you put an emphasis on being true to yourself. I have had a history of being needy so I'm a bit scared to enter into complete honesty. I would love to just be able to share that truth too. Is that too much truth? And what if I'm not sleeping with the guy? Is the truth too much too soon?
    Can I just say I think that you're awesome! Thanks for being real :-)

      Hi Becky. Thanks for your wonderful note. Certainly be your authentic self-but at the same time the measure much you choose to reveal to a new partner. Honesty evokes honesty. But no one needs a full history of every detail of your life. Those details are reserved for people you trust, at a later date.

    I don't know what to do or how to fix it. I really like this girl alot. And she is awesome but somehow we are now here. I don't understand it at all. She was so into me it's inreal. And for it to be over just like that makes no sense at all.

      Thank you!! Actually, a speicific relationsip I had with a much younger man prompted me to write a book which became an international best seller. The interviews from TV and print made me realize I had a platform to assist people in love and those looking for love.

      I had a feeling! We have A LOT of the same goals!! Can you send me a link to your book? Who is your literary agent? I'm trying to sell my book so I can get published, maybe by Hay House. I don't want to self publish. Thanks SO MUCH for all you do, Susan! You are a STRONG, intelligent POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, loving woman! You EMPOWER ME!!

    Susan: If a girl doesn't seem to be 100% interested during the first date, what do you do when you unexpectedly run into her a week later? Also, how many girls would be willing to continue dating someone who would go back to their home country in a year? ...When I was younger, I was in the military and was stationed in Germany. I was on a coffee date with a local girl and her older sister, who was watching out for her and who spoke good English and asked lots of questions about me. I was inexperienced with dating, but I was my usual open, direct, and confident self. Although my date was very guarded in the first minute, she quickly opened up with her facial expressions and long eye contact. She was thinking hard and so deeply emotional in her head that she did not say anything the entire date, even though she spoke limited English when I first met her at a club. I could tell she was wobbling between "this is a good guy" and "there are problems". By the middle of the date, she seems to let her guard down and we just kept looking into each other's eyes ("hot"). But then at the end of the date, she started avoiding eye contact and acted more polite, as if she made a decision that the relationship ends there ("cold"). As they dropped me off, I just felt some bad vibes and noone talked about a second date, so I just assumed she didn't like me. A week later, we unexpectedly met again at a different club. We both gave each other big, friendly smiles and said "hi" from a few feet of distance, but then I just walked away. I was still thinking about the bad vibes from the date and just thought she didn't like me. Did I give up too soon or offended her by walking away or should I have tried to pursue her at the club and get her to like me more? Although it was not my intention, it seems like I acted as an Alpha male on the date and by just walking away with my take it or leave it attitude. We never contacted each other after that. Maybe she didn't want start a relationship with someone who is from overseas, as I was going back to college in the U.S. in a year.

      Ryan, you're fears are unfounded. The girl doesn't speak English, you met in a club, and you're leaving the country. Way too much work for her. So don't think it was "you."

    It’s true last time I told a guy I liked him he told me I shouldn’t be embarrassed and I was like why would I be embarrassed and what is wrong about being upfront I don’t get it ? Then he started to act cocky by saying he already knew and that’s when I knew he was not the one for me

    Unfortunately,society conditions us to edit ourselves, especially women. It's a pity that some people need to work so hard on expressing their truth without fear of being rejected!

  • @jackcycling4403

    What about saying nothing, not because you're afraid of being seen as weak but because the other person is not ready to hear that you love them; It would scare them away because for them it's too soon. A certain amount of time is needed for them before being open to that kind of statement and I have to adjust to their time line.

    • @SusanWinter

      Trust your intuition on this one, Jack. If it's not the right time, then you shouldn't make that statement.

    Hey Susan!
    On this topic of direct communication...
    What are your thoughts on indirect communication (a possible video topic)? Such as a message that has a dual meaning, the kind that sparks an air of mystery and provoked thought. Something that communicates: ‘wait a minute... was that last statement about me, or about themselves’, allowing some interpretation and contemplating of the context, forcing some introspection on the part of the recipient. And also, possibly right at the point of walking away. Something that is neutral and vague enough to almost merge two into the thought process.
    In one sense, this is a bit mysterious. In another sense, it’s slightly confusing. And finally, it lingers a bit.
    Risky?
    Wasted energy?
    Or attraction building?
    What is the power of indirect communication?
