Learn more: Workshop 2: From Mutual Interest to a First Date
Some people can get first dates, but find that those dates rarely develop into an ongoing relationship.
Others have very little dating experience and want guided practice before they begin dating.
We provide the people, structure, and guidance that make meaningful practice possible.
Try what you are learning.
Learn with care and guidance.
Learn alongside others.
A 5–6 month experience: learn together, practice with support, and stay connected.

We're Miri and Nina. After years of helping people understand their relationship patterns, we created Connected to give people something that traditional advice often can't: a supportive place to practice new skills in real-life interactions.
We'd love to meet you, hear what you're looking for, and answer your questions.
