Personally Significant
I received something "personally significant" from your class
this past year...not at all what I thought I was looking for…I
saw myself! I learned that I feel "most safe" when I am "invisible".
I thought I "could be social" and didn't realize that the particular
way I was practicing being social, was still holding people
at a distance. Since beginning your classes this past year,
I did get myself to THREE Willamette-Week "parties" which I
NEVER would have done in past years...talked to people...it
was easiest when the class was fresh in my mind. I found the
classes helpful and I think I still have a lot to learn from
them. I will be returning... Thanks for the opportunity to share...the
classes were one of the best things I did "for myself" last
year!

My Social Calendar
Since taking your class my social calendar has become very,
very full. It's almost a bit overwhelming but…I can work through.
In all seriousness though, I welcome the connections I'm making
and I attribute a great deal of that change to you. Thank you
for what you are doing and who you are.

Body Language Helpful
Yes! The class did help me with some apparently simple things
that I had somehow overlooked. I've been with my girlfriend
now for about 7 months and things are going great. The most
helpful part of the class, by far, was the body language sessions.
I still use that information everyday in my work and home
life with my kids as well. Sincerely, thank you for sharing
some valuable stuff! Great job teaching it too!

Taking the Class a Second Time
The first class for me made me realize that I already have
some skill at conversation and flirting and that people generally
like me and find me attractive (I realize that I still scare
some people and others won't be attracted to me, but I'm not
repulsive). It was interesting to hear about things from the
guy's perspective.
The second experience was more about having a good time. Whether
this is good or bad....I know that most of the people in the
class feel uncomfortable about meeting people or have some insecurity,
and that's a little power boost for me. It alleviates my fear
about interacting with people. So now when I enter into a social
situation I just tell myself that the other person is insecure
too, and suddenly most of my fear evaporates. It also helped
to hear that guys are intimidated by women... it helps to alleviate
my own fears.

Very Brave
I met a "best friend" in your class - who met her boyfriend
in the same class. I met Mr. Right at a conference in Chicago.
He was acting very shy at one of the group meetings, so
I was very brave after taking your class - I walked over
to him and started talking. (It's easy to strike up conversations
with the basic "Hi, where are you from?"). Anyway, he was
here to visit for 12 days over the 4th of July! I recommend
your class to a lot of people and it's fun to be on your
email list to see what's happening in the meeting people
world.

Living Together
Does living with another classmate count? If not for other
factors, I would probably be married as a result of your classes.
Today I do things that I would not and did not do in the past.
I am able to speak with strangers of both sexes, and start
a conversation. It is a difficult process, and takes motivation
as well as encouragement I'm still learning. I come back because
change is a long-term process, and by having the ongoing support
and encouragement available I continue to grow. You give me
that opportunity... Thanks,

Seeing Someone
I am seeing someone I met in your class and we are enjoying
each other very much.
Six Months Later...
Susan and I are taking a long cruise together. She is one
quality, attractive, sharp woman. Feel free to mention this,
another success story of two people who met in your class.
A fantastic relationship.
