“I love The Dating Project!”

Kirk Cameron

Actor, filmmaker, author

“Did you ever look somebody in the eyes without being distracted? Or maybe, do you know how to truly create intimacy and have it eventually lead to a beautiful dating relationship? Well, guess what? There's a film for you. TheDatingProjectMovie.com is where you can go to learn how to be successful in dating - how to win in dating.”

Justin Fatica

Motivational speaker, author, mentor, coach, and advocate

“Cronin coaches students on how to date successfully - she explains what a proper date looks like and how the dates should advance without skipping important steps to cement a foundation for a solid relationship.”

Darcel Rockett

Chicago Tribune

“The film is really entertaining and super encouraging for people who are single who are looking to build real connection. It's a family friendly movie open to all ages and it's a great conversation starter about real relationships. Something that stuck out to me from the film was watching people slow down and be intentional about getting to know each other.”

Nancy Ryan

Influencer

“I love a documentary so when the team behind The Dating Project sent us an early screening I was like, 'Yes.' I have got to see this. I want to know what you captured about dating because as a 39-year-old who has been out on these dating streets for a very long time I have a lot of thoughts and opinions and complexities and all the things. And so, it was super fascinating, I mean they've interviewed people from college age to their 40's and there's all kinds of thoughts and experiences, and so, I thought it was really fascinating.”

Katy Boatman

Co-leader of Single Purpose League, author

“The film features this professor and several young adults wading in search of love and fulfillment in the prevalent 'hookup culture.' There were a few points that struck my heart and which seem to be desires across the board: freedom, communion, and pursuit. ”

Rachel Bulman

Word on Fire

“My single girlfriends talk all the time about how dating is basically a hot mess right now and I personally believe that's not gonna change until we make it part of our culture again and that's exactly what this film teaches us how to do. If you're somebody who's been wondering why dating feels so hard or maybe you're a parent with a teen who's just starting to date, this film is a must watch.”

Sophia DiMuccio

Keynote speaker, podcast host

“Surprisingly upbeat and constructive, 'The Dating Project' shows that the struggle to find loving relationships in the modern world is worthwhile and hopeful. ”

Kathleen Cavender-McCoy, PhD
