Dating Tip -- Fake It Till You Make It

Confidence can be learned!  Walk tall, look people in the eyes when you talk with them, and don't forget to speak with authority.  People will have no idea you are nervous.  

Dating Tip -- Learn To Listen

It's a fact!  People will like you more when they feel you are a good listener.  Get out of your head for awhile and listen with your full attention.  

Dating Tip -- Don't Let Them Smell You Coming

I know it sounds simple, but shower daily, wash with soap, wear deodorant, and wear clean clothes.  Nothing turns me off quicker then fragrance overload.  If you must wear it, lightly mist your perfume or cologne in the air then walk through the mist.  Anything more is overkill!

Dating Tip -- Talk About Neutral Subjects

First dates are not the time or the place to discuss prior relationships, political views, or religion.  Talk about what interests you, what you are passionate about, and what makes you interesting.  

 

 

What People Are Saying:

"I reached out to Catherine when I found myself facing a tough situation with intimacy in my own relationship of 6 months. I was frustrated, finding it difficult to voice my concern with my partner, and feeling completely alone in regards to who I could turn to with such a personal obstacle. Catherine responded with compassion and concern. She named a few possible roots of the problem, and suggested a number of resources and ways to address the issue, comfortably and at our own pace."

~ Kyrah M. Daniels, Junior Curator, Smithsonian Institute

"Cat brought a sincerity, warmth, and attentiveness to our coaching work that allowed me to explore my flirting challenges.  Her respectful manner, deep listening, and gently challenging spirit nudged me to go to my next level of growth and risk taking with my single and dating status."

~ Female, Author, San Francisco

Dating Coach

Why hire a dating coach?  Many people think nothing about hiring a trainer at the gym or a therapist for their mind....think of me as a lifestyle consultant!

Catherine excels at being able to read a person's body language, connecting with others, and being a motivator for positive behavior change.  Catherine can give you the tools you need to fundamentally change the way in which you interact with people.

Apparent gender imbalances in the Bay Area have greatly affected the dating scene. People who work and live in Silicon Valley commonly refer to San Jose as 'Man Jose.' Men often express frustration when they habitually encounter women who expect them to spend a lot of money on them or mistakenly over-inflate their desirability factor.

On the other hand, many women feel that they have such a numbers advantage that blowing off a potential partner is no big deal. In fact, most women are all too familiar with the saying “the odds are good, but the goods are odd.”


Common complaints include men coming on way too strong or, alternatively, men being too shy to approach them, men lacking appropriate social graces, and men who project an ambiguous sexual preference.

People move to the San Francisco Bay Area often with the expectation that it is a LGBTQIQ Shangri-La. After an initial honeymoon phase, many often express their disappointment with the LGBTQIQ dating community and describe it as being too small, drama-filled, over-indulgent, fractured, intolerant, and fetish-ized.

Hiring a dating coach can give individuals insight into the reasons they may still be single. A dating coach can be helpful for those who find it difficult to approach a potential partner to those who go on plenty of first dates that never lead anywhere. 

Catherine Coaches can teach you the tricks to over-coming body image issues, dealing gracefully with rejection, finding the courage to talk to a potential partner, and how to keep them coming back for more!

Catherine can also teach you how to write an effective online dating profile, the signs to look for when someone is a player, and the best ways to appoach a potential partner.  My dating coach services and dating advice will teach you to date smarter.
