October 9 @ 19:00 - 21:30 CEST
Modern dating is full of sparkles and pitfalls—from casual hookups to wild crushes, from awkward attachment spirals to meeting your soulmate at a festival and moving to another country to be with them… Whether you’re looking for love, lust, or just some clarity in the chaos, join American sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for a playful, practical, and deeply human class on how to navigate dating, falling in love, and building healthy relationships when dealing with attachment styles, casual sex, technology, breakups, and the sneaky ways our past shows up in our present.
Whether you’re swiping, swooning, or slowly panicking because you caught feels, this class is your loving guide to navigating the modern dating jungle without ghosting yourself or others.
🎤
- Hosting: Wilrieke Sophia
- Facilitation: Reid Mihalko
- Style: lecture
🧪 In this lively, shame-free, delightfully practical & humorous class, you’ll learn:
✅ How to recognize your attachment style—and what it means for your patterns in love, lust, and late-night texting.
✅ How to “Date Your Species” so you stop falling for good people who are bad fits.
✅ The difference between New Relationship Energy, Crushing, and Imprinting—and why love chemicals can hijack your brain (temporarily!).
✅ How to spot red flags and false alarms using the “Venn Diagram of Compatibility” (a.k.a. “Is This Even a Good Idea?”)
✅ Why your past heartbreaks aren’t proof you’re broken—and how to learn from them without shame.
✅ What healthy boundaries actually look and feel like in dating, casual sex, and committed partnerships.
✅ How to have the talks you’re avoiding using Reid’s “Difficult Conversation Formula”
✅ How to keep your heart open and your head on straight when feelings, hookups, and mixed signals get messy.
✅ Your go-to checklist for flirting, falling in love, and even hooking up without unnecessary drama—hint: it includes Reid’s “Casual Sex Protocols”
✅ How to avoid the Venn Diagram of Misery (and create your own personal roadmap to the Venn Diagram of Happiness instead!)
💡 This Class Is For You If…
👉 You fall fast, get attached easily, or ghost people to avoid getting too close
👉 You’ve ever had the “Wait… what are we?” conversation go sideways (or never happen)
👉 You’re tired of drama and confusion in dating, casual sex, or undefined relationships
👉 You want deeper connection but fear losing yourself (or getting too lost in someone else)
👉 You’re touch-starved and horny—but also trying not to repeat your old patterns
👉 You’re exploring non-monogamy or sex-positive community and want to do it with grace
👉 You’re craving relationships (short or long) that feel secure, kind, and aligned with who you are
👉 You want to build emotional safety and pleasure, not just survive the dating world
FOR WHO IS THIS EVENT?
This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are colored through that lens. We do come from different social backgrounds and have different life experiences when it comes to health, wealth, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
We welcome people with specific needs as much as able-bodied folks. Feel free to reach out if you have specific needs that you wish to share with us.

This is an engaging lecture-style workshop with space for reflection, interaction, and Reid’s signature humor. You’ll leave with fresh insights and practical tools you can apply immediately—whether you’re dating, partnered, poly, monogamish, or “it’s complicated.”
