"This class opened up my eyes not only to what I wish to have in a relationship, but to who I am as a person. In order to start a healthy, lasting relationship, you must begin with yourself. Also, establishing each individual's goals, needs, wants and future plans in the early stage of dating can save you both a lot of time and heartache." Kylie H.
“After taking your class I am learning to break the cycle and rid myself of those tapes & thoughts that replay over & over in my head about how I don’t deserve to be treated well. I have you in my head reminding me of my worth. I replay everything you taught us back at times when I struggle and I then work through it. Heck I even revert back to the workbook once or more a week. It was the best $48 I ever spent on me!!!! If I hadn’t taken your class I would have continued on in the only vicious cycle I had come accustomed to for so many years. “ Krista G.
“I went into this course thinking I would figure out what was wrong with HIM. I soon realized part of the "wrong" was with ME. This is a class for singles, people in a relationship, married, men, women, everyone! Best $48 bucks I've spent in a long time!” Monica B
“This class taught me what kind of person would be best suited for me and what qualities to look for. It also taught me that I was worthy of those qualities and deserved a good guy. The class empowered me to ditch jerks and only let good guys into my life. It was also great to connect with people of all different ages.” Hadleigh B.
“You have been an excellent teacher / facilitator; informative, candid and genuine in your presentations. It has been a great privilege to be taught by a person of your caliber. Hope what we have learned will be a guidepost for us all as we interact with the opposite sex. (no jerks or jerkettes allowed)! “ J.F.
“I learned from your class that true love still exists and friendship and communication is key to any relationship. The most important thing I learned is that a relationship based solely around sex will not be successful. A relationship takes way more than that. Thank you for being so inspirational! “ Andrea P.
“I have to tell you as soon as I left yesterday I called my good friend and we discussed what I learned last night as well as how we "function" with the RAM model. Kind of an eye opener when you categorize the process like that!” Shannon P.
“Wow, I never knew I was doing this thing backwards!! Just by attending this class, I have learned how to control the dating process, instead of feeling out of control!! Lori does a great job at helping you apply the KISS acronym to dating and picking a mate!! “ Tom S.
"After many dating situations with some real jerks I decided it was time to take action with my teenage daughter. Taking the "How Not to Date a Jerk/Jerkette" workshop turned out to be one of the best things she ever did. The workshop helped her to figure out who she is, what she values, and what to look for in a potential dating partner. It empowered her to make healthy decisions and helped her to identify the "good guys". I would strongly recommend this workshop for any young person as an extremely beneficial tool to add to their toolbox of relationship skills." Janelle B.
When I saw the announcement for the class, I thought Hmm sounds like me. I was starting to think that I was a JERK magnet. With some encouragement from a cousin I decided to take the class. This class actually helped reinforce things that I already knew, sometimes we need reminding. It helped me remember that I deserve better than what I settled for.
The class isn't about finding a "perfect" partner, no one is perfect. It is about finding a partner that will treat you like you should be treated. Someone that you can trust, that is not selfish, that is reliable. It also gives you the how to and the encouragement to not just settle for the first good looking face, or the smooth talker that comes along. It helps you to know how to look deeper in to the kind of person a potential partner is.

The class is fun, Lori has a great personality and the interaction with others is encouraging. My class had a mix of young and younger, some just out of high school or soon to be and others close to retirement. I recommend this class, if for no other reason but to be reminded us of what most of us already know, that we deserve better.
It is also good to know that you are not the only one that finds or attracts JERKS. D.R.
After taking this class I realized I'm not the only one who hurts or who can't get out of the role of dating a jerk(ette). It doesn't matter the age of the individual it all hurts the same. The class taught me to look at both sides of a relationship, to go with my gut feeling of what I know is right and wrong. Taking this class also opened my eyes to really how many different people are out there and what person is best for you. This class made me feel confident, stronger and always put me in a better mood. I always looked forward to going to class. Last thing I learned is if you want something to change about yourself you have to be willing you can't change the outcome the ending or the person.
