The Best Advice For New Relationships: Do's and Don'ts

[@fromthehart7915]

Thank you for all your wise words, Susan! I’ve been listening to you for years and you’ve been a huge influence in my dating life - I’ve learnt to set boundaries, communicate clearly and date intentionally by listening to your videos. I tell all my friends about you! Especially when anyone has a relationship question, I refer them directly to you. And they always find your content super helpful, of course! You’re the best 😄❤

Speak Truth. If you like them, tell them. If they're ready for a relationship, and you’re not, and they're wise, they'll leave you. If you’re not ready for a relationship and they are, leave them because you are not a breadcrumbing, manipulator.

[@SusanWinter]

Fantastic. It’s easy isn’t it? That method really cuts to the chase and eliminates unnecessary heartbreak

[@mikyl-fo8rh]

Im really enjoying my new relationship. He is angel to know what im going through because of my abusive x's and still stick around. He wipes my tears and he just comforts me. I will NEVER LEAVE him for any ex. Even if we dont work out, he will ALWAYS be my friend. 💙

Great points and insights Susan….thanks for sharing!!👍

[@SandeepN-cl3qs]

Very important suggestion Susan. I am new to your channel, however I know you after the book I read recently - Allowing Magnificance. Really grateful for your advice. Also best wishes for your birthday and I dedicate the following crazy random writings ( attempt of a poem) for you :) In the depths of my soul, a love story begins, An enchanting tale, as my heart joyfully sings, I feel like a novice, with emotions uncharted, Captivated by a wiser woman, my heart now deeply enkindled. Your radiance catches my eye, your presence commands, A confident woman, of high value who understands, In your gentle embrace, age becomes just a number and wisdom a scalable attribute, As you defy expectations and every societal slumber. Your wisdom surpasses the years etched on your skin, You weave dreams and hope, a life lived to win, Your charisma and poise, a captivating allure, In your embrace, I find wisdom so pure. Your advice brings out the best in me, and my worries yours in return, Together we venture, ready to conquer and learn, Depth of understanding may be a difference, but we're bound by desire, Our hearts entangled, a flame that won't retire. With each passing moment, a connection does grow, In your words, I find solace, all my worries wither and go, Your life experiences shroud us both in a magical light, A love forged in courage, every day shining so bright. Your radiance catches my eye, your presence commands, A confident woman, of high value who understands, In your gentle embrace, age becomes just a number and wisdom a scalable attribute, As you defy expectations and every societal slumber. So, let others judge my trust and try to define, But I am intoxicated by this fearless choice of mine, For it's not about age or wisdom, but the depths within our souls, A love that burns brightly, warming us as it unfolds.

[@SusanWinter]

Oh my goodness I am so moved. What an absolutely gorgeous poem. And I’m also very thankful that what I’m saying and the way I present my work is of service to you and speaks to your heart. I wish you all good and beautiful things and thank you for the kindand inspiring message

[@southcentralPA]

That is truly so beautiful.

[@SandeepN-cl3qs]

I am so glad and humbled that you liked my poem. Indeed, with due respect to other experts. I find your advices and the way you present very unique and compelling. I am your new subscriber however I must say I haven't read any better self help books than Allowing Magnificance. You communicated to every cells in me and I am trying to implement the learnings in my life as well. Thank you so much. It is great communicating with you and I look forward to interact with you further. I have also connected with you on IG - not to miss anything special from you❣️

[@SandeepN-cl3qs]

Thank you 😊

[@DuckSeason12]

Wow now it makes so much more sense. They have their own stuff to deal with and might not respond not out of meanness but cant decide or whatever. Who knows. Communication if unfavorable is better than dropping someone without any words.

[@BryanPablo6270]

Good morning/Day here Susan Winter, would like to give you my thanks for this video. Last time we spoke ,you nailed it in the head completely and I didnt dictate my boundaries enough hence why these sort of people come to me, and I was a different person back then. Too much on the agreeable side, too nice, and naive. I've grown, alot. Even more now, hence why I am always here in your channel because you are I consider the best on this field, and will always look forward to your content. I know what I want, and what I don't want. I want stability, the Dream and a future with the right one. Happy seasons Greeting Susan ❤❤

[@YouTubeUzername]

Good morning, thanks for the invaluable advice!

Hi Susan 😊just wanted to let you know I ordered your sparkly pink water bottle merchandise with (your so big and strong )inscription on it 💕I love it and can’t wait to bring it to the gym and along with it being so incredibly cute I bought it to give gratitude and thanks for your invaluable information and wisdom you provide us all here on KZbin 🙏

[@Muhluri]

I thought putting issues on the table would be productive, unfortunately my partner just used it as a free opportunity to talk shit about me. I was sad when we broke up, but quickly moved on when I realised that it's just my ex's insecurities showing and I'm not 100% at fault

[@crf450rbulletdavid9]

She put you down for trying to have a grown relationship conversation? Your better off man, I'm sure you know. Break ups suck no matter what be cause we invested in that person and sometimes we think false thoughts like she is the one, and when they show you signs of dishonesty or manipulation listen to them. Most people will tell on themselves a little bit at a time. I learned that the hard way unfortunately.

[@epicfail6786]

Can you still move on, forget the obsession, if the one that you cared for or loved is your roommate? We always see each other but he’s avoiding me now

[@SusanWinter]

I agree that it is harder to move on when you must see them every day. This will take more time than if you could go no contact and never have them in your sphere. The fact that he's avoiding you now probably means that he feels as uncomfortable as you do. Just keep your head high and try to move on internally, even though you still see him.

[@verticalbay]

Ok question.. will it always be a better idea to let the other person know my intention/s why I’m dating? And when I did, it either they got scared or (for the most recent one) things got dragged along waiting for the other person to figure out what they want (they don’t know what they want to begin with).

[@chrisherber1635]

The communication thing is so eye opening. I have NEVER been so intentional and open to healthy communication in my entire life and guess what….i still missed the thing that mattered 😕. Every green flag was there, every sign was there, we spoke about values and everything. The ONE value that mattered the most, she chose not to disclose it and it totally ruined everything. So I guess it wasn’t my fault. I COULD have asked, but since we were talking values and it was important to her, she should have brought it up right? (Had to do with long distance, stupid right?). I’ve never felt so seen, heard, or understood by anyone in my life..how could that have been omitted? I guess it just wasn’t meant to be but I was truly heartbroken, she definitely broke my trust and I guess just got swept up in all the good things we had going on. Question, now I’m almost scared to NOT bring every little thing up. How do we do this without coming off as taking ourselves too seriously?

[@catharinamariatheresia1626]

I think it’s about knowing we can get hurt. Yes, it sucks. Every time we are vulnerable. I matched really well with someone that turned out to be polyamorous (and I am monogamous). It really hurted, because I found out after we were intimate. Dating is beautiful and super uncomfortable. I read somewhere, dating means collecting data. And at least you know all the green flags for the next person you are dating. And know that this red flag is super important for you. Dating is a way to get to know oneself ❤️🙏

[@ParisianStreets]

is there anyway to communicate i want more without scaring them off

[@SusanWinter]

yes, diplomatically and calmly.

[@ParisianStreets]

scripts would help on how to make them open up thanks@@SusanWinter

[@mlantieri]

Hi lovely Susan. I agree with everything (in theory) but my experience is that most women would never agree to such rules upfront. Women like mystery, want to be in control and therefore dont divulge much early on until they feel comfortable. If a man sets rules too early, they will run…..just my experience and opinion. Hugs to you and my favorite pup Nikka🥰🐶.

[@SusanWinter]

Mark! Firstly, woof, woof woof. Woof woof. Woof.!! That was Nikka’s commentary. And I do understand what you’re saying about mystery and women opening up slowly and perhaps feeling cornered by a man speaking so directly -it takes finesse. And you have to read the person. And, moreover, from your observation and experience of yourself, and your friends, dating women, who have been mysterious, what percentage have easily moved into a mutually agreeable partnership (Where are the goals and values in terms of engagement are the same) ? I would love to hear your perspective on that question.

[@mlantieri]

@@SusanWinter easy answer Susan……ALL the ones unwilling or unable to set boundaries/expectations were not “keepers”. My current partner never exhibited any reluctance to discuss anything early on in our relationship so I had to kiss many frogs before I found my “prince” (or “princess” in this case). Have fun in Miami👍😎🧑🏻‍🎄.

[@catharinamariatheresia1626]

Its like you say: “most” women. So, not all women. So, we need to be diligent. There is someone who understands you.

How soon do you ask what their relationship desires are?

[@sethtenrec]

First meeting for goals, desires. Why wait? If I want monogamous long-term, and you want free-to-date-anyone, no point moving forward..

[@DC-if9sv]

What do I do if I slept with him right away and he 15 years younger than me. He said it wouldn’t affect our friendship but he hasn’t made a move since it was just very casual. It was like a one night stand but it’s been a month and I’ve thought about him obsessively all month and he hasn’t contacted me. He is also a bit famous so I don’t want to give him attention I feel like he expects that or that’s his norm. It’s just weird because we go to the same place and we will surely bump into each other.

[@sethtenrec]

It was a one night stand … move on, you were used. It happens to everyone one way or another.

[@DC-if9sv]

⁠We have known each other for a long time it wasn’t a one night stand I said that we were friends. We have met up and spoke since I posted, and we’re meeting up again tomorrow, but thanks for the advice. V. Helpful. 🙄

[@marwaelmaghraby61185]

I can totally relate and feel what you went through, because I am pretty much in a similar situation currently. He is 12 years younger than I am, and he is a bit famous as a musician, singer, and songwriter. He assured me that getting physical would not affect our friendship. However, I haven't heard from him since 32 days, and we haven't met since five weeks. I hope you were able to heal. Sending you love 💙.

Every girl whose phone number i get has flaked on me, validating my cynicism.

[@spyroluver0951]

good job getting the numbers, maybe it's how you communicate? I had a guy recently get my number then call up talking about himself for an hour and then try to see how far he can get away with saying stupid things on the phone. Ended it without a first date.

[@sethtenrec]

@@spyroluver0951exactly, i’ve had excellent luck talking with women on the phone. But you have to learn the art of conversation, plenty of KZbin videos on that as well!

I'm newly divorced at 54. How can I meet my guy? I'm poor and can't go out a lot.
