If you find modern dating exhausting, you'll discover new approaches that honor your energy and personality. We will explore how to connect authentically from the comfort of your home, without feeling drained or pretending to be someone you're not.

Dating can often feel like it was designed for extroverts, even in a place as welcoming as Carmel. The pressure of constant small talk and being 'on' all the time can be a major source of stress.

We will discuss practical ways to manage your social energy so you can enjoy the process. You'll learn about choosing dating environments that suit your temperament—from quiet spots in the Carmel area to specific online communities—and how to have deeper, more engaging conversations.

You will explore topics such as:

• Identifying dating scenarios that align with your introverted nature.
• Communicating your needs and boundaries clearly and kindly.
• Using your natural strengths, like listening and observation, to your advantage.
• Building connections gradually and authentically, without pressure.
• Moving from online chats to in-person meetings with less anxiety.
