About this event

Dating Success: Strategies for Making Dating Fun for Adults ages 21 to 50! is a unique, results-oriented support group that helps you achieve profound strides in your dating life! Along with a small, intimate group of supportive facing similar challenges, we identify your strengths (don't worry, you have a lot!) and fine-tune those issues that are causing you to stay in the "friend zone."

We address those behaviors, thought patterns and learning styles considered to fall outside the norm (diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism, Learning Disorders, Neurodiversity) that may have become a struggle for you in dating and finding "the one" including:

Flirting effectively to make sure s/he knows you're interested!

Making effective eye contact and reading body language and cues

Overcoming shyness and moving out of your comfort zone

Lessening your stress level in the face of new situations

Planning an exciting to ensure you both have a wonderful time!
