Private one-to-one intensive coaching

In-Person Dating Coaching

For men who want to work on this in the real world, side by side. I watch what is actually happening, give you direct feedback, demonstrate when useful, and help you build the confidence and experience that are difficult to create from theory alone.

Real-world, one-to-one coaching.
Side by side

This is not a seminar.

There is no classroom, group of strangers or generic curriculum.

It is you and me, one-to-one, working in real situations. We spend a lot of time walking, talking, practising, reviewing what happened and then doing it again.

I watch where you hesitate, how you enter interactions, how you communicate, what you miss, what you're doing well, and what happens in your head when something doesn't go the way you wanted.

If a demonstration is useful, I'll demonstrate. If I think you're misunderstanding a situation, we'll stop and talk through it.

The point is not to copy me. It is to help you develop your own ability.

Why in-person works differently

Some things are difficult to see from behind a screen.

You can understand attraction intellectually. You can know what you should be doing. You can watch years of dating content.

Then a real opportunity appears and everything feels different.

In person, I can see the gap between what you understand and what you actually do. Sometimes it is approach anxiety. Sometimes you are overthinking. Sometimes your communication changes completely around someone you find attractive. Sometimes the problem is much smaller than you imagined.

Real confidence comes from accumulating experiences that show you that you can handle this.

Client video review

In-Field Coaching Review

A previous client talks about his experience completing an intensive in Bangkok and what the in-field coaching was actually like.

What we're working on

It is much more than the number of women you speak to.

Approach & hesitationWhat happens in the seconds before you act, where you talk yourself out of opportunities, and how to make starting interactions feel more normal.
CommunicationYour tone, pacing, listening, body language, investment and the small behaviours that can completely change an interaction.
AttractionRecognising when there is interest, when there isn't, and where you may be accidentally shifting the dynamic in the wrong direction.
RejectionHow you interpret it, how quickly you recover, and whether one interaction is allowed to dictate the rest of your day.
Apps & messagingFor longer intensives, we can also look at your profile, photos, matches and communication when those are part of the picture.
Your overall mindsetSelf-image, validation, expectations, lifestyle and the internal patterns that affect how you show up long before you say hello.
The deeper work

The most useful conversations often happen between interactions.

When I started doing this in 2004, I thought most of the answer was repetition. Take more action, get more experience, become less afraid.

There is truth in that. But after more than two decades, I think much of the real work is internal.

Why does one rejection affect you for hours? Why can you speak easily to someone you aren't attracted to but freeze around someone you are? Why do you need a positive result to feel as though the session was worthwhile? What are you actually trying to prove?

Those are the things we can unpack while the experience is happening, not weeks later when the details are gone.

Location

Major cities generally work best.

Environment matters. A large city gives us far more natural opportunities across daytime, evening, cafés, shopping areas, social venues and normal everyday life.

Major Asian cities can work particularly well for this because they give us a wide mix of busy daytime and evening environments, although the coaching is not tied to Asia.

The exact location is agreed individually based on where you're coming from, your goals, timing and what makes sense logistically.

If you're already based in a suitable major city, coaching there may be possible. In other situations, it can make more sense to meet in another city that gives us the right environment.

Before booking flights or accommodation, speak with me first. I can help you work out the right area to stay and avoid spending unnecessarily.

Client feedback

From someone who has done the in-field work.

In-person coaching
If someone asked me who would be the best person to teach how to meet and date women, I would without hesitation send them to Chris. I don’t know anyone in this field with as much integrity, authenticity and humility. There’s no magic here, just a path towards genuine communication.
After the intensive

The goal is to take this back into your actual life.

It is relatively easy to feel motivated when you're travelling, working with a coach and making this your main focus.

The important part is what happens when you return to your normal routines.

Especially with the month option, part of the work is making sure what you're learning can be incorporated into your real environment. I remain available for guidance afterward while you put it into practice independently.

You should not need me standing beside you forever. The goal is independence.

Private In-Person Coaching FAQ

Common questions.

Do I have to book the $375 consultation first?
No. If you already know you're seriously considering an in-person intensive, you can enquire directly. If it looks like I can help, we'll arrange a short private fit call before anything is booked. If you're still working out what you need, the 90-minute consultation is the better place to start.
Are flights and accommodation included?
No. Travel and accommodation are additional. Speak with me before booking anything and I can help you choose a practical area to stay and keep the logistics sensible.
Can you travel to my city?
Sometimes. It depends on the city, timing and travel involved. In some cases it makes more sense for us to agree on another major city. If significant travel is required from me, the final price will reflect the additional time and costs.
Do I need previous approaching experience?
No, but this is intensive coaching. It works best when you genuinely want to improve this area and understand that progress comes from practice, feedback and repetition rather than a quick trick.
Can you guarantee that I'll meet someone or get a specific result?
No. I can't guarantee how another person will respond to you, and I won't promise sex, a relationship or a particular outcome. I can give you intensive real-world coaching, direct feedback and more than two decades of experience. What you do with that ultimately matters.
What does the month option include between sessions?
Alongside the weekly day and evening sessions, we have a shorter weekly catch-up, and I can help with apps, profiles, messaging and issues that arise between sessions. I also remain available for guidance afterward as you integrate the work back into your normal life.
First step

Tell me what you're considering.

If you're seriously considering working together in person, send me a short enquiry. You don't need to write your life story.

Not sure you need an intensive?

Start with one conversation.

If you're interested in working with me but aren't sure whether in-person coaching makes sense, book the 90-minute private consultation first. For most clients, one conversation and a clear direction is enough.
