Fascination Is Not the Same as Partnership
There is a profound difference between a dinner companion who respects your resume and a man who is fascinated by you.
The difference surfaces in moments that don’t announce themselves.
Courtship has a choreography — the advance and the retreat, the effort and the appreciation, the timing and the silence.
Fascination is not the same as partnership. One sparks a romance. The other builds a life. The art lies in knowing how to cultivate one without sacrificing the other — and it begins with recognizing the turning points hidden inside ordinary moments.
I’m Dr. Susan Edelman, a psychiatrist.
As a single woman, I was determined to master it. I did.
For more than 35 years, I’ve been in private practice. My work has given me an uncommon window into relationships: the choices people make, the impulses they follow, and the moments that alter the course of a relationship long before anyone realizes it.
I am also an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and author of Be Your Own Brand of Sexy.
Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Edelman, MD has spent 30 years as a practicing therapist in Palo Alto, California specializing in women’s issues. She’s the author of the multi award-winning book, Be Your Own Brand of Sexy: A New Sexual Revolution for Women.
She helps single women reclaim their power—by learning what works best for them—instead of what they’re programmed to believe is “normal” by today’s culture.
In addition to her private practice, Dr. Susan is an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She is also a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.
She’s been a guest on dozens of radio shows and featured on DatingNews.com and DatingAdvice.com
