Introducing our new Dating Coach: Karen Perkins
What is coaching I can hear you saying and how does it effect me? More to the point do I really need it? Very often when you hear the word coaching you immediately think of sport or getting an athlete to perform better or be the best they can be.
Be the best you can be!
This can apply to any part of your life, dating coaching was probably not even thought of even ten years ago as good old common sense was our guide then perhaps. With the increased popularity of on-line dating as a way of bringing new people into your life but it also brings with it elements that might never have occurred to many people. New people in your life can not only bring joy and excitement and opportunities to try new experiences. You can take on new interests and share someone’s life again. All pretty uplifting….on this journey you may have to encounter situations and emotions that you are unfamiliar with. One of the reasons that many of our members come to us in the first place was they had experienced online dating sites and found them a little too casual for them. They found they were engaging with people who were not always what they seemed at the outset. In many cases not actually seeking a meaningful relationship at all, more of a sexual or social encounter. It only takes a couple of negative experiences to chip away at our, in some cases fragile confidence in putting ourselves forward. Avenues Dating is very aware and empathetic to people who just want to meet someone who is normal, ready and free to start another relationship. Our life coach Karen Perkins has specialised in dating and “later life” coaching and has a wealth of knowledge and hints and tips to move people forward to new relationships or a more rewarding and exciting retirement.
