Case Study: Charles, 25, an Engineer in New York: Four Dates in One Week
Charles is 25, a chemical engineer in New York. Before he worked with us he was getting about one date every two weeks from the dating apps, and his dates went nowhere. We rebuilt his profile, then coached his texting, how he sets up dates, and his nerves. His matches went "from a few a day to like 20, 30 a day", and one week he went on four dates.
He tells it himself in the video above. His longer interview with Ravi goes deeper into the years before.
Who he is
A 25-year-old chemical engineer living in New York: a working professional for whom dating was the area that wasn't working.
Where he was
After a breakup, he had two years of nothing.
When he did get dates, they didn't go anywhere. He'd been on around 50 dates that went nowhere. In his words: "I couldn't convert anything."
On the apps he was averaging about one date every two weeks, with a lot of flakes.
What he'd already tried
Before us, he joined another coaching programme. It "didn't work at all for me," he says. He'd also tried photographers and other services, which is why he compares our profile rebuild to "any photographer or any other services I tried."
What we worked on
Our method is called the Double-Take Effect: three parts, coached together, so that a woman stops filing you as a type and looks twice. The parts are your profile, who sees you, and your dates. Charles's story is about the first and the third.
- Your profile. We rebuilt his dating profile first. At NMM today, that's Rags's job: he rebuilds every client's profile.
- Your dates. Then we coached his texting and how he sets up his dates. Underneath that were nerves, so Ravi and Coach D worked on them with him: breathwork, and exposure to the situations that scared him in measured doses. At NMM today, Rags coaches texting, Coach D coaches the dates, and Ravi runs the check-ins.
It wasn't overnight. Describing his own timeline, he says he'd been "at it for like months to a year".
What changed
- Matches: from a few a day to 20 or 30 a day on the rebuilt profile.
- Dates: one week, four dates and seven numbers. Before, it was about one date every two weeks.
- Dates that go somewhere: after around 50 dates that went nowhere, his dates finally started going somewhere. He says it's "something that never happened to me before."
In his own words
"I went from getting a few matches a day to like 20, 30 a day."
"This week I went on four dates. And I got like seven numbers in one week."
"Something that I wasn't able to match with any photographer or any other services I tried."
"I was able to go on dates and actually close within the same day, which is something that never happened to me before."
In October 2026 he also left a review on Trustpilot:
"I've seen tangible improvements in my dating results and feel more confident connecting with women. Rather than focusing solely on dating tactics, the program helps you address the underlying fears and patterns that hold you back while becoming a better communicator. What makes it particularly valuable is that these skills extend beyond dating."
What this means for you
If you're getting some matches but few dates, or dates that never turn into a second one, it's rarely one thing. Charles had a profile problem and a dates problem. Fixing only one of them would have left him stuck. That's why we coach the parts together.
