- Who is an appropriate dating partner & who is not

- How to read signals & judge whether the interest is mutual

- How to ask someone out on a date

- How to turn down a date

- How to handle rejection

- What sexual feelings are

- How to work through problems in a relationship

- What to do when a relationship is not working
