The Queer Zine Dating Workshop Series is a group of events each addressing a different aspect of dating with guided conversation, crafting and exercises to help you feel more comfortable and confident in dating
HOW TO ASK PEOPLE OUT (7/7)
It can be scary to approach your crush, or even someone you wanna know better at a friend - so lets make the whole thing easier!
We'll start by looking at all the creative and cute and strange ways people have asked each other out in the past
Then we'll work through why it's so hard, figure out the most comfortable way for you to approach such conversations & gain some tools and confidence so next time you fancy the barista, you can tell them :)
This will involve a cosy chat about the worries and emotions that often come with it, you're not alone in feeling them & you don't have to arrive to the workshop confident and brave, there is space for nerves & vulnerability <3
And then, as usual we'll do some crafting - making crush cards you can throw at the hotties if asking out with words is still a bit too daunting <3
Materials
I will provide all the materials you need to take notes and make your zine during the session; there will be pens, pencils, paper, glue, tape and loads of collage materials - feel free to bring along anything else you like :)

About the Facilitator
I am Kim (they/them) a queer matchmaker and event organizer with 5 years of experience helping LGBTQIA+ folks with dating. I've run this workshop series 11 times before but this is the first time it won't be a continuous group attending all the classes - so bear with any teething pains with this change.
