About Aisen
Aisen Li, a dating coach based in Austin, TX, with a mission to empower Asian men in their journey to love. Often humorously referred to as the "Asian Hitch" by his own mother, Aisen's path to coaching took unexpected turns. Originally, Aisen was deeply involved in running a marketing business and modeling in L.A. before discovering his true passion for helping others navigate the complexities of dating. The transition from Former Model to Small Business Owner to Dating Coach might seem unrelated, but Aisen's story has its roots in his own struggles.
 
As a shy, introverted kid who moved to America at the age of 9, Aisen faced the challenge of adapting to a new culture that didn't prioritize dating education. Raised in a traditional Asian family, dating was a topic left unexplored until he turned 18, while marriage was expected right after college. Aisen's early attempts at dating were marked by awkwardness, frustration, and a sense of unfairness. Despite physical improvements, he struggled to connect with girls and felt left out as friends entered relationships effortlessly. Determined to change his trajectory, Aisen embarked on a self-directed journey of learning, investing time and money in books, videos, and courses on communication and dating.
 
Through years of trial and error, facing rejection, embarrassment, and countless failed attempts, Aisen eventually cracked the code. He transformed from the awkward guy in the corner to someone who could confidently approach and attract beautiful women. This transformation opened doors to a life he had always dreamed of—regular dates with intelligent, beautiful women and a newfound confidence. Now, Aisen shares his insights and experiences to help others, particularly Asian men facing similar dating challenges. His coaching focuses on genuine connections, steering clear of pickup artist tactics. Aisen is on a mission to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, deserves happiness and love. For Aisen, the journey is about more than personal success; it's about creating opportunities for others.
