Dating abroad can be exciting, but challenging. From cultural misunderstandings to transient lifestyles and mismatched intentions, expats face a unique set of dating dynamics.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore how to date with intention, clarity, and cross-cultural awareness - especially in mid-life. Topics include:

- Limited dating pools and how to expand your options
- What does it mean to commit when you’re often on the move
- Redefining what “success” looks like in dating abroad
- Cultural differences in dating expectations
- The difference between coaching and matchmaking, and when each might help

Open to all genders, orientations, and relationship goals. Whether you're actively dating or just curious, you’re warmly welcome!
