I signed up for this course and I didn't know what to expect. I spoke to Imad on the phone for two…read moredays and I was undecided. However, I enrolled and I am so glad I did! You enroll in an 8 week course, but it is like a personalized class. It was honestly very helpful! The ones I liked the best was Isabella and Imad's courses. They not only improved the way I saw things, but it was fascinating to have a more in-depth knowledge of body language and flirting techniques. Most importantly, you learn *when* to implement the things that you learn. I also liked Candice's online dating workshop. She gave much needed feedback! This will help more than your dating life. This will help you for business too! Isabella's "mirror technique" will help you when you have an important interview and you happen to be very nervous beforehand. Imad will delve into purpose and what women look for when they size up a mate. Think of this as a psychology class. And when you finish, you can keep in touch with everyone and they will continue to help you! Let me tell you what won't happen: this won't magically make rejection disappear, nor will the person of your dreams fall into your lap. This course won't magically change things for you with a snap of the finger. However, what this course will do is not only improve your confidence, but it will also make you realize *when* and *where* to approach someone you are interested in (because not every situation is best for meeting someone!) This course will help with your mindset. In this way, you will become more effective and efficient when meeting the person you want to date, and they will instruct you how to effectively go about your dating life where the people you do see will maintain interest in you (hint: it is not waiting to reply to a person's text message nor using pick up tricks!) The course is moderately priced, but it is worth the money. Thank you Cher! You have a really good service going and keep up the great work!

This was a virtual program that took place over 3 days in 3-hour sessions, and it was exactly as advertised! Through this program I learned more about myself, my dating history and how to create better/more successful dating scenarios and situations for myself in the future. I am a self-proclaimed self-help junkie, and this intensive program was well worth the monetary and time investment! I would highly recommend this program to anyone that is ready to get serious about dating and finding a partner. Edit to add after reading previous reviews - A big part of what attracted me to Agape was the Matchmaker Maria Instagram account and podcast and I would highly recommend you check both out if you're considering working more with Maria to see if her style vibes with what you're looking for. With Maria, what you see is what you get - direct communication and advice without the fluff. Chrisoula is the other matchmaker (Maria's sister) that does the program, and she offers a great balance to Maria. Both women have valuable insight and advice to share. In your dating discovery, there might be some things that you need to face that aren't so pretty, but I genuinely feel that both of these women have good intentions and really want to help people find "their person"!

Maria and Chrisoula clearly know their stuff. After just a few hours together, they knew each of the 10 women in my class so well. They got us to open up about our fears, doubts, strengths, and hopes. The course is more about finding out what you want in a match and focusing on getting what you want, rather than learning out how to be what someone else wants. It's an empowering and eye-opening weekend. I left with a new group of friends and renewed hope for my future. I know how to make my online dating profile more reflective of who I truly am as a person and how to stand firm to my goals. I am already raving to my single friends and trying to convince them to sign up, too.

When I asked her why she wanted to know this information, she was unwilling to give me a straight answer.

" But the Fleet Week and Rescue Me events aren't just any old speed-dating or matchmaking event -- they're parties filled with honorable servicemen who attendees are encouraged to hit on. And a little bit of encouragement was all that Lisa Torrens, 57, needed." This was me. Apparently, I initiated friendly chat, but most kept to themselves, at a Venice Beach 3-hour breakfast. Mimosas only. I circulated socially.

Thankfully, I stumbled upon an advert for a "Rescue Me" Firefighters singles party and had one of the best nights of my life! I went with a girlfriend and we had a blast meeting all the single firemen and trying out cheezy, pick-up lines on them. Everyone had a great time and some of the guys even invited us to go out after the party, but alas it was a work night (why can't these events be on Fridays?!?). After that I was hooked. From the speed dating events to the singles parties, I've never had more fun being single. It's hard to judge a person online, so what I like about these events is that you get to meet people face to face. With speed dating I pretty much know in the first three minutes whether there is something there worth exploring. In one night I can check ten men off of my list or circle three men that I would like to get to know more. My one recommendation is to plan on sticking around after the speed dating event. It's usually at a bar so afterwards if there is someone you want to get to know better, you can saddle up to the bar for longer chat. If you've never speed dated before, don't worry. The organizers will walk you through it and they are super nice. The singles parties are huge and great if you are looking for something less formal. It's refreshing to go to a party where you know everyone is single and actually looking. I went with a wingwoman to the parties and I think it takes the pressure off, so we talked to more guys and it wasn't so intimidating. I even met a lovely bloke! ;) Overall, I recommend you get offline and try out one of their events. From Rescue Me to Size Matters to Have Passport, Will Travel there is something for every proclivity.

Ok, so, I'm married happily, a perennially confident and relatively successful guy. I seemingly…read morewouldn't need any help from a love Guru. Let alone THE Love Guru. But wait... She's REALLY good at what she does! Somehow I managed to do a business engagement with Blaire. Normally I'd see this type of thing (love-doctoring) as a bit esoteric and out of my interest zone, but I decided to read her book about finding the ONE: "Do You Know My Husband? The Unexpected Journey Of How The Love Guru Found "The One" Here's the takeaway of my work with Blaire and her book: 1. First of all Blaire is intuitive, she knows what you're thinking before you say it. But she kind of let's you send it out into the world all hamhandedly. Then she tells you something super concise and very accurate about yourself and you are like: "Wow!" 2. Her book is genuine. It is a really cool journey about a smart sophisticated girl who puts a goal to find "the one" overlaid onto her dating life. You get this kind of inside look and intimate experience about all the pitfalls and fun of dating new and different people. It's a cool insight to her personality and you can see why she has such passionate followers. There is a certain innocence there that can't be faked... and yet, a certain maturity that always existed, that cannot be underplayed. A fun read. 3. She is upfront. She doesn't mince words and while you might feel a bit sheepish, she has your best interests in mind and tells you what you actually need to hear instead of what you WANT to hear. Sometimes what you need to hear is the same thing as what you want to hear, so don't take that as a negative. 4. She's clinically efficient. She's a professional who has a few rodeo's under her belt, so you can rest assured your awkward little dating life is in good hands. She just throws all clean punches at you hitting you left, right and center with wisdom, experience and just good best practices. 5. She's super in-tune with her spiritual nature and she's very perceptive. She also knows when your fragile little ego is going to burst and makes sure you are ready to handle the reality of how to find your perfect "ONE" Lucky for me: I found Blaire after I found the right one. My wife is amazing, and my personal gain from knowing Blaire and experiencing her insights first hand is how to get out of my own way and let the universe help me fall in love with my relationships and my "ONE" because I'm in harmony with what I need to be. Her book is great, have a read, and consider booking a session with Blaire, you'll learn more than you think you will, and you'll have a newfound respect for those with spiritual talents and incredible innate intuition. Even if you think you have it all figured out already...

I was able to experience The Love Guru Blaire's Spiritual Healing Session and a few weeks ago and…read morefound it be an impactful experience. As many of my friends practice spirituality regularly, I was interested in experiencing the calm they attribute to their practice. I was a complete newbie to the process, although I've done some meditation in the past. I went to Blaire because over the past several years, I've found it difficult to manage stress from working what feels like endless days. Student loan debt was also beginning to weigh on me and I was having difficulty concentrating on everyday tasks. Though several of my friends are also struggling with these things, they seem better able to cope because of their spirituality and meditation practice. So I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! For the session, Blaire and I agreed on a time when she would begin. She recommended that I begin to quiet myself 30 minutes before the session began (by taking a walk, a soothing shower, or just sitting and thinking). I decided to sit down with calming music and a notepad. This was the first time that I've done that in ages. It was difficult to push out the encroaching thoughts about work and other obligations but was very worth it. During the session itself, I didn't experience anything specific but did feel a sense of calm, which I'm happy to report stayed with me the entire week. Also, it's a beautiful feeling, just knowing that someone is thinking of you and wanting the best for you. I really liked that. The feedback I got from Blaire after the session was very personalized and spot on. She guided me through what she experienced during my session and what steps I could take to in the coming days. Based on Blaire's feedback, I set aside 30 minutes a day for that week to not look at a screen (I work in physics and design and usually always looking at the computer). This in itself truly worked wonders and is a practice I plan to continue. From the session, I learned, first and foremost, that I needed an extended break from the constant flood of freelance projects and side gigs. Piling these on top of my fulltime job was a huge source of stress. I'd long acknowledged that I felt tired and overworked but would continue to take on additional projects (partly out of habit and partly out of the desire to accelerate payment on the debt). It was only after 1 session that I felt the courage to 1) finish up all open work items and 2) communicate to all clients that I would NOT accept new work of any kind for 6 months. It's time for me to take a well-deserved break. It's now been a few weeks since the session and I'm finding it to be VERY beneficial. Highly recommend.
