Resources to teach young men better behaviour with women they are attracted to?

Does anyone have any good resources or suggestions to help a young adult man behave less -erm - creepily - with young women he's attracted to? I volunteer with a young guy (20s) who has made 3 young women avoid him and the charity by being creepy. Not quite over the line to harrassment, but 'gazing' at them for longer than feels comfortable, making creepy comments, repeated requests for dates. He grew up in an old-fashioned all-male environment and I think he genuinely doesn't know he's making life unpleasant for them - he's not got the Andrew Tate type attitudes, he'd probably think he was a feminist tbh. Does anyone have suggestions to aid a conversation or anything he can read that would help him understand? Thank you if you can 🙂

Following because if this doesn't exist, it needs to..

There are workbooks catered to young people with learning disabilities. I cannot remember specific ones off hand but I’ll try to find the names of some and get back to you. Not sure of the cognitive level of the man in question, but I’ve used ones aimed at younger children in the past

@PrincessASDaisy he's cognitively "high" level but those resources might still be useful even just for me to frame a discussion. So thanks.

I have done a bit of online research, but if you search supporting men to behave less toxically around women, you get stuff targeting Andrew Tate type toxicity and searches around non-creepy dating tips bring up materials that would tell him to keep doing what he's doing!
