→The Dating Advisory©

The Dating Advisory is a San Jose-based dating coaching business founded by Julia Malakiman, serving men across the San Francisco Bay Area, South Bay, East Bay, and Peninsula. Julia specializes in supporting shy, analytical men and engineers who want to build confidence and form meaningful relationships. Her approach emphasizes in-person practice rather than online lessons, scripts, or pickup techniques. Clients visit real-world settings such as cafes, bars, and mixers to practice conversations, while Julia provides live guidance, helps interpret social cues, and offers feedback after interactions.

Services include customized one-to-one coaching with weekly in-person sessions, live approach practice, text and profile reviews, and ongoing debriefs. The business also offers two-hour workshops in San Jose, designed to help participants move past hesitation and start conversations with support. For those exploring its perspective, The Dating Advisory produces The Date Worthy Man Podcast, featuring conversations about dating, masculinity, anxiety, and practical social skills. Prospective clients can book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss their goals and determine whether coaching is a suitable fit.
