The Stanford SmartDating Program

Create a rewarding social life

           Are you dissatisfied with your social life? Would you like to increase your social activity while making new friends and having more dates? Are you ready to meet someone special? If so, the Stanford Smart Dating Program ® is right for you.SmartdDating-i4hd

           Not a dating service, quick fix, or magic plan for attracting romance, the Stanford Smart Dating Program ® is like a boot camp for dating. The short eight week course begins with an inward look at your dating attitudes, behaviors, expectations and reservations. You’ll examine your relationship history to determine what your strengths and weaknesses. You’ll learn new skills for working through the self-defeating behaviors, poor choices, social anxiety, and diminished self-image that have held you back in the past. You will learn to develop and implement clear, realistic and obtainable goals to enhance your social life.

           The outward focused second half of the program concentrates on meeting new people and making new friends while engaging in personally fulfilling social activities. The concepts of self-respect, honesty, compassion and respect for self and the other will permeate and drive your participation in these activities. You’ll learn how to increase the number of dates you’ll have on the path toward meeting that special someone.

            The low cost of $549 includes eight hours of instruction and all texts, worksheets and materials. The course runs in-person at our Kingston, NY location or on-line via Skype.

            Stanford Smart Dating Program ® is written and led by Bill Colagrande, a successful counselor and teacher for over thirty years and is laid out along academic lines. There self tests to help you focus on your strengths and improve your weaknesses. There are easy to complete, fun and sometimes challenging homework assignments that provide you with an in-depth look at your unique qualities and attributes. There are suggestions and tips throughout the course that serve as food for thought and jumping off points for creating a happier, healthier you. Don’t feel alone any longer!
