CONTACT GRACE DIVINE PSYCHIC MEDIUM DATING COACH TODAY. ARTICLE: WHAT IS A DATING COACH? The thought of meeting a stranger, sitting through a drink or meal, trying to be clever, makes me cranky. Think about the books that could be read while the other person drones on about his as-yet-unfinished divorce. Imagine the films that could be watched while he confuses the word “anecdote” with “antidote.” What a colossal waste of time. More than one friend recommended an attitude adjustment. “People can sense your intolerance,” they said. “They can smell negativity.” A few suggested that I try something for the truly desperate: a dating coach. Unlike matchmakers, dating coaches do not arrange dates. Instead, they act as cheerleaders and advisers, pointing out less than helpful behavior. The idea of a dating coach sounded ridiculous: Why should I entrust my romantic success to another person? What could a coach possibly tell me that I did not already know? But my dating life was not getting better, so I called a Dating Coach, a “love life manager” Grace Divine in Newport Beach, California. The Dating Coach, a UCI and UCLA graduate, takes a no-nonsense approach to love. “I treat it like a job hunt, but a fun one,” said The Dating Coach, who has been coaching for three years. Ideally, she wants clients, most of whom are women in their 20s and 30s, to devote 15 hours a week to their search (surfing the Web counts for three hours, max). She also instructs women to turn on their “cab light.” “You know how you know when a cab is free because the light is on?” she asked. “That’s what you need to do with dating. You have to be in the game.” I signed up for weekly one-hour phone sessions, for which I paid $400 a month, or $80 a session. I would devote my 15 hours a week, and we would have a weekly one-hour post-mortem. It seemed like a lot of money and trouble to gather advice that my grandmother could probably give. But The Dating Coach seemed to offer good guidance, like learning how to balance assertion and aggression, and whether to kiss on the first date (yes, so the man knows you want to see him again). Besides, she promised, “If you follow my advice you’ll meet your mate.” Coaches have different methods — some work strictly over the phone, others provide in-person consultations, while others offer total immersion weekends, in which the coach lives with you and monitors your behavior. But their messages are similar: Stay positive! Be open-minded! There are successes. In 2002, while grappling with a dating drought, Laine Berne, now 35, hired The Dating Coach. In the beginning, Ms. Berne, an assistant buyer at Escada Couture, found the 15-hour-a-week rule daunting. “I thought a relationship should be something that just kind of happens,” she recalled. “Grace said you treat it like anything else you want to be successful at. You have to put the hours in. It changed my mentality.” By the end of a year, she said, she was dating a “sweet and nice” man whom she would have never considered dating before meeting The Dating Coach. That relationship fell apart, but two years ago Ms. Berne met a man online, with whom she now lives. She credits The Dating Coach with her success: “I’m the one who took action, but without her inspiration, I could never have done it.” If you need a dating coach contact Grace Divine.
