Mature relationship and meeting women advice
In his late 20s he got divorced from his wife and moved to China to study and refind his bearings.
In 2007 David moved to Singapore where he has resided and developed his careers since.
David Tian holds a Ph.D. in Asian Cultures and Philosophy from The University of Michigan. He has held fellowships and awards from the Harvard-Yenching Institute at Harvard University, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation in Princeton, The University of Michigan, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and the University of Toronto.
Before founding his own dating academy and serving as full-time Director, David Tian was Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Philosophy at the National University of Singapore for almost three years until his resignation in 2010.
David began writing field reports and mostly his ideas about dating from what he was learning on a blog which quickly became popular. David's writing showed his academic rigor and it also had a mature take on a lot of the advice that was being given. This attracted a more mature crowd and also men who were of Asian origin like David due to his ethnicity.
Upon moving to Singapore in 2007 to take up an academic position at a local university David also made it known that he was providing dating coaching there. He steadily took on more clients and soon the local media began reaching out to him for tips on radio, press and TV shows. In a relatively short period of time David became known as "Doctor Date", and a small celebrity in Singapore. To the point that he would sometimes have guys follow him around while in clubs and point him out.
In 2010 David began taking his dating coaching business more seriously and set up Aura Transformation. He left his academic position to devote himself full time to the academy shortly afterwards.
David, known as the "Doctor Date" of Singapore, makes it well known that he is not a pick up artist and rather a dating coach. He has learned from pick up artists, and does conferences with them - but similarly to "David Wygant" known as the "Hitch" of the U.S. he believes that his more rounded approach to dating is more healthy.
