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! Vilija Oke (MD, PhD and mentor)
