About this Event

A Live Workshop for Men Who Want Real Connection Without Overthinking

Feel confident on dates. Stop freezing in the moment. Show up as yourself: grounded, calm, and actually attractive.


Does dating feel harder than it should?

You're smart, capable, and successful in your career but on dates you overthink every word. You feel tense around people you're attracted to and wonder if you're giving off the wrong signals.

You don't need pickup lines. You need real social skills.

This 3-hour interactive workshop teaches you how to feel at ease in dating situations. You won't perform or pretend. Instead, you'll understand how your nervous system works and what actually makes you attractive.


What You'll Learn
  • Why awkwardness happens: Work with your nervous system instead of against it.
  • The #1 thing that makes you feel attractive: Hint: it's emotional safety, not confidence.
  • How to recover from awkward moments in real time: Use practical micro-skills to stop spiraling or ghosting.
  • How to show interest without pressure: Express attraction in ways that feel natural for both of you.
  • Your personal social pattern: Identify the one area that matters most like overthinking, withdrawal, or performance.

What Makes This Different

This isn't information overload. You'll practice skills in low-pressure, guided interactions with real-time feedback in a safe environment.

You'll know exactly what to do next.

The workshop is structured, predictable, and ND-friendly. You'll always know what's happening and why it's happening. We tell you exactly what's expected of you. No forced conversation exists here. No performance pressure exists either.


Who This Is For
  • The thoughtful professional: You're confident at work but unsure in social situations.
  • The overthinker: You replay conversations and want clarity.
  • The quiet connector: You aren't antisocial but you're unsure how to build momentum.
  • The masked "confident" guy: You look fine on the outside but feel exhausted inside.

(Neurodivergent men often find this especially helpful but that's not required.)


Workshop Structure
  • 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM: Men-only foundation. We understand patterns and practice core skills.
  • 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM: Break.
  • 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM: Guided mixed-group practice. We use clear structure and facilitator support.

Women participate as practice partners, not evaluators. This is skill-building but it isn't a dating competition.


What You'll Walk Away With
  • A calmer, more grounded presence in social situations.
  • Clarity on what actually matters in dating interactions.
  • Your specific correction area to focus on.
  • Real capability to start and sustain connection.

Most importantly: you'll stop guessing and start choosing how you show up.


Event Details
  • When: 4-8pm
  • Where: The Roaming Petal St.Pete
  • Duration: 4 hours
  • Investment: $197

Bonus: Workshop fee can be applied toward the SocialOS group program if you continue.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal and effective.


What People Say

"I finally understand why I freeze up. More importantly, I know what to do about it."


"This was the first social thing I've been to where I didn't feel like I had to perform. I could just learn."


"The structure made all the difference. I knew what was coming and could actually focus on practicing."

If dating has felt heavier lately, especially with Valentine's Day approaching, this workshop gives you a calmer way forward.

Ready to feel at ease instead of trapped in your head?

This is not pickup coaching. This is not alpha-male BS. This is not therapy.

This is skill-building for real humans.
