Dating Dilemmas at The Winery at LaGrange

September 13, 2015

We are thrilled to have matchmaker, Gee Sanders, of PCB Agency and online dating coach, Erika Ettin, of A Little Nudge to help you make this your summer of love!

• Past is Prologue. Better under your romantic history, including past choices and experiences, in order to help make healthy relationship decisions in the future.
• Stuck in Relationship Limbo? Are you constantly finding yourself in relationships that seem to be going nowhere? Learn how to recognize the difference between a relationship that will linger in purgatory versus one that has what it takes to function in the long term.
• Falling in Love is Great, but Falling into Marriage is Not. Couples who live together before marriage without any real plans for commitment are more likely to divorce than those who either avoid living together prior to marriage or live together as a commitment-centered choice. Discuss how to make purposeful choices about your relationship instead of being guided by circumstance or convenience (such as moving in together because it saves money vs. moving in together because you want to deepen the commitment).
• Dating After Divorce. The end of a marriage or other long term partnership can leave you feeling uncertain about dating again, including wondering if you’re really ready and worrying about repeating past relationship mistakes.  Discuss how to face your concerns and effectively re-enter the dating world.
• Dating with Kids. Finding a partner while raising children is tough. Learn how to set boundaries that protect your kids and yourself as you look for love.

Join us at #Dating Dilemmas to get intentional about your dating decisions! Meet us for lunch from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 13th at The Winery at La Grange in Haymarket, VA (approximately 40 miles west of Washington, DC).

Registration fee includes access to a panel of relationship experts, catered lunch and wine tasting, and a copy of Erika Ettin’s book Love at First Site!
