The dating scene, even in a friendly place like Saint Charles, can often feel like it was designed for extroverts.

We will discuss practical ways to manage your social energy so you can enjoy the process.

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.
