How Ralph works
Ralph builds his coaching on Stoicism. He believes most dating advice is a set of random tips with no single framework behind it. His Stoic approach gives men a steady philosophy to guide how they date and relate. He starts with one-on-one sessions to build a custom dating plan and set goals that can be reached. Clients can also choose coaching packages for dating or for relationships.
Background and qualifications
Ralph is a single dad of two teenagers. His marriage ended a decade ago. That left him facing single parenthood and the emotional aftermath of a hard relationship. This began his own path of self-discovery and personal growth. He started The Dating Stoic because he saw few resources for men and no clear philosophy behind most dating advice. He also writes a blog on dating and relationships through a Stoic lens.
