  • 30 minutes in: Once everyone arrives, Monica will give a short talk on the Intentional Dating and Discernment process. You will receive a text which provides your assigned table number. Women will stay seated during the event. Men will be notified after each mini date regarding which table to move to.

    You’ll receive a deck of “Intentional Dating Questions” to help spark meaningful conversations, build connection, and discern whether the person you’re meeting aligns with what you’re seeking.
    You’ll also be given a structured notes sheet to jot down reflections and insights for thoughtful discernment after each mini-date.
