This was on my mind at a BBQ this weekend after being asked several times---“So, what exactly do you do”? And, I thought this was a good time—Labor Day puts us into the “back to school” mentality or the “mini-resolution” mode to answer that for my readers. It’s the ramp up to the holidays (I know, I can’t believe I’m saying this….but hey, I always want you to give a 3-month commitment to online dating so now’s the perfect time).
So, here we go on the rollercoaster ride of modern dating, where swiping right feels like a game of roulette and ghosting has become a paranormal norm. It’s a jungle out there, folks, but there’s a secret weapon to help you find love without losing your sanity: dating coaching. Yep, it’s a thing. My thing. Dating coaches are like personal trainers for your love life, helping you flex those dating muscles, boost your confidence, and navigate the tricky terrain of relationships.
Let’s take a fun-filled look at the top 10 perks of having a dating coach in your corner:
1. Personalized Guidance: Your Very Own Dating Sherpa
(Or, as one client told me, I was his canary in the coal mine…and he’s happily married now!)
Think of a dating coach as your personal Sherpa, guiding you through the rocky mountain of modern romance. Forget generic advice—this is all about you. Dating coaches dig into your unique situation, quirks, and goals to create a custom roadmap to love. It’s like having a cheat sheet for dating, but way cooler.
2. Confidence Boost: The Secret Sauce to Dating Swagger
Ever wish you could bottle up some confidence before a date? Well, dating coaches are the confidence whisperers you didn’t know you needed. According to a study from the University of Miami, people who worked with dating coaches strutted into the dating scene with a major boost in self-esteem. It’s like they’ve discovered their inner James Bond or Wonder Woman, ready to conquer the world—or at least that next date.
Congratulations, Tim B, 53, my client in Newport Beach---who got engaged to Katie, 54 on Saturday night. It was Tim’s 11th first date on Bumble…and yes, he was getting a bit tired of first dates!
3. Communication Skills Upgrade: Mastering the Art of Flirting
We all know that communication is key, but let’s be honest, not everyone is born with the gift of gab. And, sometimes I work with clients from the business world---that send too business-y types of messages or even terse…oh no! Enter the dating coach, your personal communication sensei. They’ll help you refine both your smooth talk and your non-verbal cues, so you can flirt like a pro and keep those conversations flowing. Research from Psychology Today shows that dating coaching can seriously upgrade your communication game, leading to deeper connections and fewer awkward silences.

4. Objective Feedback: No Sugar-Coating Here!
Friends and family mean well, but their advice often comes with a side of bias. A dating coach, on the other hand, gives it to you straight—no sugar-coating, just the real deal. This honest feedback is like a mirror that helps you see what’s really going on in your dating life, helping you spot those pesky blind spots that might be holding you back.
5. Healing from the Past: Clearing Out Emotional Baggage
Got some relationship ghosts haunting you? A dating coach can help you banish those bad memories. Whether it’s a nasty breakup or a string of disappointing dates, they’ll guide you through the process of healing and moving forward. Think of them as a mix between a therapist and a love guru—someone who helps you clear out the emotional clutter so you can start fresh.
6. Practical Strategies: From Profiles to Perfect Dates
Let’s face it: the dating world is full of pitfalls. Whether you’re crafting the perfect online profile or planning a date that’ll impress without trying too hard, dating coaches have got your back. A 2023 eHarmony survey found that people who used dating coaching strategies had a 25% boost in positive responses on dating apps. That’s like having a secret weapon in your dating arsenal!
7. Accountability and Motivation: Your Personal Cheerleader
Dating can be a long, tiring journey, and it’s easy to lose steam. That’s where a dating coach comes in as your personal cheerleader, keeping you motivated and on track. With regular check-ins, they ensure you stay focused, helping you push through those dating doldrums and keep your eye on the prize.
8. Anxiety Reduction: Bye-Bye First-Date Nerves
If the mere thought of dating makes you break out in a cold sweat, you’re not alone. Dating anxiety is real, but a dating coach can help you manage those jitters. The University of Miami found that people who worked with coaches saw a significant drop in their dating-related anxiety, making the whole process a lot more fun and a lot less nerve-wracking.
9. New Perspectives: Opening Up a World of Possibilities
One of the coolest things about dating coaching is how it opens your mind to new possibilities. Coaches encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try different types of relationships. You never know—you might just find love in the most unexpected places.
10. Long-Term Success: Finding Your Happily Ever After
At the end of the day, the ultimate goal of dating coaching is to help you find a lasting, meaningful relationship. And the stats back it up: research from the University of Maryland shows that people who worked with dating coaches were 40% more likely to find a stable, long-term partner. So, if you’re serious about finding love, a dating coach might just be your ticket to happily ever after.
The Bottom Line….
Dating coaching is like having a love GPS, confidence booster, and personal cheerleader all rolled into one. Whether you’re looking to improve your communication skills, heal from past heartbreaks, or just find someone special, a dating coach can help you navigate the wild world of modern dating with ease. So why not give it a try? After all, love is an adventure—and every adventurer needs a guide!
