SPONSOR & LOCATION:  TBA FEE - Per Week:  TBA Love Needs & Identities - Do you have a tendency to lose yourself in a relationship?  This workshop will help you understand the importance of knowing what you bring to a relationship; the type of relationship you want (SEE PICTURE ABOVE--everyone will make a Relationship Collage that helps answer the question "What is love?"); characteristics of a healthy partner.  Body Language - Do you know how to look available and recognize the signs of attraction?  Can you tell when someone is lying to you? Learn how to look more approachable and available; recognize signs of attraction and deception; how to approach someone new. Chemistry of Initial Attraction - Did you know that there are chemicals in your brain that are stimulated when you are attracted to someone? Find out what they are and exactly how they affect you in this fascinating workshop, so the next time you're hit hard with infatuation, you can slow the train down, avoid the wreck, and create a relationship that LASTS! Lasting Attraction - Can you control who you are attracted to?  Unique magnet exercise helps us look at the character traits that create deeper, lasting attraction.  Friendship/Romance Boundaries - How do you know when to “take it to the next level”?  Discussion of “friendship first”  vs. “instant romance.”  Learn behaviors that define friendship and romance.” Dating Details & Warning Flags - Who asks?  Who pays?  What are the "red flags"? Healthy dating boundaries and dating signals to watch for that tell you whether to STOP dating, SLOW down and ask questions, or GO forward and keep dating.  (SEE PICTURE: Everyone gets a set of red, yellow and green flags for this FUN exercise!) Compatibility & Deal Breakers - How do you keep the first few dates from feeling like a job interview?  Discuss how dating compares to the hiring process; learn how to determine relationship compatibility, deal breakers and potential time bombs.  Gentle Communication, Part I - Learn how to initiate a discussion about a concern; discuss the complexities of face to face, phone, text & e-mail communication. Gentle Communication, Part II - Good vs. bad examples of conflict resolution; practice reflective listening and empathy. (Part I is not a prerequisite.) Commitment Skills - How do you know when you're ready to commit to someone? Discuss the Stages of Commitment, the 7 Key Ingredients for Readiness for a Relationship, the 3 Elements of Infidelity, a summary of behaviors that lead to real, lasting commitment.  "I have attended several dating workshops, read many books on finding and building relationships and still couldn't find a suitable spouse. After attending Melody's workshop series, I learned what I was doing wrong, what I was doing right and what the red flags were to say goodbye. Her visual props and interactive games showed the co-ed crowd exactly what the opposite sex was thinking and why. We got to discuss things after the exercises and boy, did I learn a lot. If you can't find the right person to share your life with, sign up for Melody's classes. It works! I met my husband three weeks after the class ended." -Marcia
