Affordable and accessible dating coaching for the everyday romantics
So what is a DateMate?
A Date Mate is a dating coach who doesn’t pretend to be anything they aren’t. My name is Eric and I’m an Australian queer man, a trained Counsellor, Teacher and experienced dater…very experienced! I’ve dated widely; people of different genders, backgrounds, ages and experience. As your date mate I am here to help you in a range of ways based on your personal needs. My aim is to empower you to feel more confident and more in control of your dating experiences. I work with people of all ages, sexualities, genders, intellectual and physical abilities and backgrounds and I can work with you in person or remotely.

This is not a matchmaking service
This is not a guarantee of finding love…there’s no guarantees for any of us with that one!
I met Eric through his Tiktok. That led to a dialogue about my dating life…which is kind of a mess. We then scheduled a zoom call to discuss a plan for improvement. It was very comfortable and easy to open up to him. He was kind and understanding. He listened and gave me some ideas on how to improve things. I have made a lot of progress setting boundaries and sticking to them since our conversation. I highly recommend him!
Kelly
I’d come out of a difficult break up and was still recovering when met this amazing guy in a similar situation, but I was doubting myself and him…we were both dealing with a lot of emotions and I needed someone to help me navigate some big decisions. With Eric’s support I had the hard conversations, I figured out what was important to me and I made brave moves. I’m still very much in love and recently became a mum!
Kate
After not dating for a long time, Eric convinced me to give dating apps a try. He built up my confidence and was genuine and supportive. Choosing photos for my online profile ended up being a fun experience…and I haven’t looked back.
Craig
Learning how to be yourself in an online space is confronting. Eric helped me to feel confident to start conversations and have fun, all whilst staying true to what I was looking for and not accepting anything less.
Danni
Having been out of the game for quite some time, I was pretty anxious about getting back in. My previous experiences with the Apps were not great, so I was hesitant to start dating again. I met with Eric and that experience was amazing: he asked the right questions, not avoiding the difficult ones, without making me feel more nervous. Throughout our chat I felt safe and comfortable. In fact, by the end of our session I felt more confident and went home to work on a profile.
Eric followed up to check in with me and help me with my profile. I really recommend his service, especially if you, like me, have been finding it hard to get back into dating. Thank you Eric.
