In a dating landscape often dominated by casual encounters, Andrew Betancourt is offering queer men a refreshing alternative through his Conscious Dating for Queer Men™ program.
As a Certified Relationship Coach, Betancourt created the virtual coaching program to help clients who find themselves exhausted by hookup culture and ready for something more substantial.
“My biggest problem was fear of rejection,” shares one coaching client. “Andrew gave me tools to shift my thinking. I actually found quality dates with some great guys.”
The program centers around Betancourt’s trademarked 3-step Dating Framework™ – a methodology developed from both professional training and personal experience. After navigating years of dating and hookup culture himself, Betancourt developed a more intentional approach to finding meaningful connection.
“After years in the dating scene, I realized many queer men were struggling with the same issues but weren’t finding solutions that addressed our unique experiences,” Betancourt explains.
His coaching style emphasizes trauma sensitivity – a crucial component when working with queer men who may have experienced various forms of rejection or marginalization. The coaching program includes private 1:1 sessions, a digital course hub, and “coaching on-the-go” — messenger support between appointments for quick, real-time guidance.
One client who struggled with attracting emotionally unavailable partners reports developing “a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence in setting boundaries” through the coaching process.
Another speaks to overcoming anxiety around other gay men: “I didn’t think I was worthy of another man’s attention. After coaching, I’ve noticed attractive men walk up to me and I have a higher level of confidence.”
What distinguishes Betancourt’s approach from generic dating advice is its tailored focus on the specific challenges queer men face in building authentic connections. The coaching addresses common issues like handling rejection, overcoming scarcity mindsets, and developing healthier relationship patterns.
With over 300 coaching sessions delivered nationwide, Betancourt’s brand stands for emotional safety, personal growth, and honesty – values that resonate with clients seeking genuine connection in a dating world that often prioritizes superficial encounters.
For queer men tired of swiping without substance, Betancourt’s trauma-sensitive approach offers a path toward more meaningful relationships built on intention rather than impulse.
