A Different Date

**A Different Date** is an educational discussion event developed from the Practical Psychology Club. It offers you a chance to understand yourself better while meeting other singles who are also looking for a meaningful relationship. **Important criteria** * Maximum **12 participants** per event. * **6 women and 6 men** (heterosexual and looking for a date). Age 28-40 y. * Openness, curiosity, and a willingness to know yourself better while connecting with others through meaningful conversations. * A moderated discussion based on open-ended questions and reflective insights. **First session** **Subject: Who Am I in a Relationship? - Would I date somebody like myself?** **\- Understanding ourselves before looking for the right partner\.** **Part 1 – Expectations and Positioning** * What do I hope to find in a relationship? * Do I see love primarily as an exchange ("What do I get?") or as something we create together? * Am I looking for someone who completes me, complements my weaknesses, or someone with whom I can grow? **Part 2 – Looking Back** * Did I feel loved during my childhood? In which moments? * Have I learned that love is unconditional, or have I experienced it as something conditional? How it affects my life now? **Part 3 – My Inner Relationship Blueprint** * How, and through whose example, did I build my vision of an ideal relationship? * Is that vision still relevant and helps me today? * What kind of family life do I dream of? **Final Reflection** * If the person you are today walked into this room as a stranger, would you want to date that person? Why or why not? * Am I becoming the kind of person I would love to meet? This is **an educational activity**, not a speed-dating event or matchmaking service. The aim is to promote self-awareness and authentic connections with other singles. **I initiate it for free (donation based for the first few occasions) to test the concept.** I look forward to meeting you!
