Free Conscious Mating Tele-Seminar Series

Wednesday, August 22, 5:30pm pacific/8:30pm eastern

Conscious Mating:
Deciding "Is This the One?"

With David Steele and Linda Marshall

When singles become pre-committed couples they ask themselves "Is this the right relationship for me? Is this 'The One' for a lifetime commitment?" Fearing relationship failure, many avoid making this decision, and as a result the marriage rate is declining.

Most of us want a fulfilling committed relationship. Our goal in Conscious Mating is to provide you the information and strategies for answering the question "Is this the right relationship for me?"

In this program you will learn:

- How to identify relationship red flags and danger signs

- How to know if you're talking yourself into (or out of) a relationship because of fear

- Our #1 Strategy for determining "Is this 'The One?'"

- Three powerful questions you need to ask yourself before considering commitment

- Nine areas of a relationship to evaluate for decision-making

- How to get off the fence, "Be the Chooser" and live happily ever after with your soul mate

- And more!

Helping Your Clients Identify Dating Red Flags

by David Steele

Below is a Dating Red Flags Checklist to help singles identify possible red flags in a prospective relationship

I. Projecting the Future:

1.    _____ Would I want to spend the rest of my life with                 this person exactly as they are?

2.    _____ Would I want this person to raise my child?

3.    _____ Would I want my child to be exactly like this                 person?

II. Are You Talking Yourself Into a Relationship?

4.    _____ Do I want to rescue or "help" them because I
                see their potential?

5.    _____ I love the way they look or their status and it                 builds my self-esteem to be with them.

6.   _____ We have some things in common and so I'm
                avoiding looking at glaring differences.

7.    _____ They appear to be totally different than people
                I've been with in the past.

8.   _____ I'm focusing on one important quality (money,                  sex, fun, humor, etc) and ignoring unmet
                 requirements.

26. _____ Changeable, inconsistent behavior

27. _____ Inability to listen

28. _____ I notice myself trying to change this person to fit
              what I want, instead of accepting them for who
              they are
