"Thank you, Shirley and Joe, for providing this program. It is outstanding in its structure, content and professionalism. And, above all, your sincerity in helping others achieve their best potential is truly heartwarming. May your good works find their way back to you many times over. This program is creative, entertaining, and enlightening! Highly recommended as the best hands-on education you will ever receive with respect to dating and subsequent relationships. Suddenly, there is a road to follow (with directions!) and your journey starts to make some sense. Undoubtedly, the most worthwhile investment -- in yourself-- that you can make this year." -- Gail Corcoran, Birmingham 

"The program offers support, guidance, and the extra push it takes to actively pursue a healthy relationship. It provides the stable foundation for which to build a long lasting relationship. The examples and tools give the "hands on" skills that is needed to feel confident in truly participating in the single's world. It reduces the fear of getting out there to date or even have a relationship. It encourages self confidence in finding a healthy partner and continuing on in a long lasting loving relationship. Joe and Shirley's background in dating helped build a belief that a lasting loving relationship can happen."            --S.L.R., Clinton Twp. 

"(Most helpful was) the small group discussions where we were able to present our own situations and ideas as well as hear others' so that we can learn from real situations. The skit scenarios (especially) were (very valuable). They give real life situations (with a little exaggeration and humor) to learn from. (In small groups) again everyone can share their own situations with each other in a small, semi-private matter as opposed to sharing with a very large group where confidentiality can be more easily compromised. I think the two of you are very good at what you do in this program and encourage you to keep up the good work! What you re doing, with this class and other programs, is very good for anyone who uses it." --Brian Price, Plymouth 

"I gained a deeper understanding of myself; the small group sessions were very beneficial. Well done!" 

"Excellent program! It has helped me to see dating on a more conscious level." 

"I had a good understanding of many of the subjects covered in the course but the program filled in all the little gaps. The course helps you to be more positive whether you're searching for a relationship or not. Good source of honest feedback from the opposite sex." -- T.P., Plymouth 

"I think the program is very interesting. It is very educational and can be applied to everyday life, unlike most other courses. It is very positive-oriented and provides all, or at least most, of the essentials needed to actually create lifelong loving relationships. I would recommend singles, as well as dating couples, to take this program. It gives them a chance to do a multi-stage self-assessment on their own situation as a single person, as well as provide feedback to others at different levels and receive others' feedback. If more single people attended this program I believe they would not have as many dating problems and turmoil as a result. As someone who hasn't dated a lot in the past, the course has helped me know how to look out for the right types of people for myself." 

"I found this program encouraged me to diligently engage in the adventure of looking for my soulmate as I learned through the entertaining role playing, helpful personal disclosures, and informative mini-lectures of the directors, as well as through the valuable feedback and experiences of other participants as I enjoyed getting to know them. It helps empower people with the knowledge of what factors help relationships succeed as well as giving participants the opportunity to practice some skills that assist in developing positive relationships. We are also encouraged to involve ourselves in the challenging event of searching for our soulmates." --Sherri Hawkins, Lincoln Park 

"Overall, it is well organized in its focus and purpose. The presentation, broken into large and small groups, works well. The sharing of stories and encouraging messages from the group helps. The program will help you identify your dating/mating strengths and areas of improvement. If you are motivated to put the knowledge to use, you will see yourself meeting your expectations for sharing your life with others." 

"The program "stretches" you -- forces me to act -- to  "fake it till I make it". Accountability has been key. Clarifying, stimulating." 

"(This program helps) understanding how men and women relate, problem solving skills, clarifying what I want in a relationship. Everything was clearly explained -- the speakers were all energetic and knowledgeable in the topics of dating and relationships. Humor played a healthy part of the presentations. (It was) good to share in small groups, hear other viewpoints and also to be challenged on your own. The program required a lot of thinking in order to do all the required homework and participate in class/groups. I appreciate the challenge this class provided me and I want to have a healthy, caring, loving partner to share life with." -- Gloria Chedrau, Belleville 

"(most helpful in) changing my outlook on dating. Lots of good written information. (Small groups) were good for support and accountability. Joe and Shirley are excellent."  -- B.K. Rochester Hills 

"Keep up the good work." 

"Well done!" 

"This program has been a healthy way for me to get in touch with my own desires and expectations. I was forced to be honest with myself and confront issues that may have been a stumbling block for me. You meet other people with good ideas to share, who also encourage you to move ahead in dating relationships. Strategies are laid out and a plan of action is formally presented. You don't feel isolated and alone in this world of couples." --C.B., Sterling Heights 

"Very helpful to work through discouraging feelings regarding dating and to realize I'm not the only one with problems in relationships. I also know and appreciate that my singleness is OK, and I am OK. This program helps you get clear as to what you want, don't want, and helps you to clear up any bad feelings you had regarding past relationships." --Cheryl Michon, Southfield 

"Very comfortable setting where one can be very open and honest about their experiences. Very positive feedback and mind awakening." --Cheryl Michon, Southfield 

"I found the educational portion, and gender differences particularly helpful. Also, supporting behavioral change." 

"(most helpful were) gender differences and conflict resolution. Skits and volunteer examples very helpful in getting topics across in a humorous way. Also able to ask questions on the spot -- not having to wait until the end of class. Great source of feedback from the opposite sex and good support for what individuals are going through. Course taught by persons with experience (in relationships) and not by someone reading from a textbook like so many other classes are taught."                     --T.P., Plymouth 

"(most helpful was ) Joe and Shirley acting out scenarios. Painful at times but hilarious. They made me laugh! Made me take a deep, heartfelt look at my own inner conflict over dating."  --B.L.M, Farmington Hills 

"I enjoyed the role play and handouts most of all. Excellent questions were asked and pertinent issues were addressed. I would -- and have -- recommended this program to many. Thanks."  -- D.A.S., Southfield 

"(most helpful was) finding out why and being sure of who you are looking for as a dating partner. Very enjoyable, enlightening. It was easier to talk in small groups. I had a great time and really enjoyed being in the program. Wish you were here 20 years ago." --D.L., Detroit 

"(most helpful were) small group discussions. I loved the class." --B.J.S., Hamtramck 

"(most helpful were) the demonstrations of the various skills presented in the lectures. Also the explanation of the dating process and the physical and emotional reactions along the way. I gained some personal insights about my past choices in men. Dating doesn't seem so threatening anymore. Everyone goes through a similar process at their own rate of speed. Thoroughly enjoyable, enlightening, and thought provoking. Very provocative!" --C.J.L, Sterling Heights 

"Group support with therapist facilitating made me most accountable to my goals. Warm and friendly staff."                             --J.P., Westland 

"Always kept my attention, and was very real, not fake. Talking individually to others helped understand the concepts and helped me open up more, which is essential when trying to meet people."  --J.S., Allen Park
