This workshop is about a lot more than just avoiding becoming involved with a jerk or jerkette. It is about how to get to know someone in a safe way, knowing the other person, what to look for in a healthy relationship, trust, relying on the other person, commitment and finally touch.  The presenter will talk about developing these skills over time, in that order, and what happens when you skip right to touch.  Come learn some important things to keep in mind when getting to know someone.
