Just Stop Dating exists for everyone who’s ever cried on a subway platform, overanalyzed a “k” text, or Googled “is it me?” at 2 a.m. We blend neuroscience, real stories, and cultural critique into one warm, irreverent site that doesn’t just give you advice—it gives you a nervous system reset. But to keep doing that, we need your donation.
Your donation keeps this site going. You’re helping someone else get through the same mess you did but with a little more clarity and a lot less shame.
Why We Need Your Donation Now
We launched Just Stop Dating to cut through the noise of dating hacks and influencer therapy talk. The goal? Offer something real: deeply content rooted in science and satire. Your donation funds the kind of work that never panders and never sells your pain for clicks.
We make:
- Free guides that untangle breakups, overthinking, and situationships
- Articles that explain dating neuroscience and psychology
- Podcasts about attraction, avoidance, and your worst texting habits
- Tools that teach boundaries, attachment, and confidence
We help people understand what’s happening in their relationships and in their own heads. No vague advice. No toxic positivity. Just a grounded insight into how love, loss, and behavior actually work and how to stop repeating patterns that leave you emotionally drained.
Who You’re Helping With Your Donation
We write for the people in between: the emotionally aware overthinkers, the people-pleasing quitters, the neurodivergent daters, the post-divorce re-starters. If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Dating shouldn’t feel like performance art or a military op,” you’re in the right place. And your donation helps us reach more people who need that too.
Donations Keep Us Independent
We’ve turned down brand deals that didn’t align with our mission. We don’t want to push affiliate links or hawk bad advice just to pay hosting fees. A one-time or recurring donation helps us remain reader-funded and integrity-first.
“I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I read it. Now I reread it every time I almost text them again.”
– A reader with excellent taste

That’s okay. Healthy skepticism is welcome here. But if our content has helped you pause, reflect, or laugh-cry your way to clarity, consider this a nudge.
