Send us news tips if there Is something happening in your dating life—or someone else’s—that we should know about. At Just Stop Dating, our readers give us some of our best story leads. We’re always looking for real-life experiences that reflect the messy, revealing, and sometimes hilarious world of modern relationships.
Whether you’ve noticed a dating trend in your community, experienced a bizarre app encounter, or want to share your own emotional spiral (for science), this is the place. Use the contact form below to send us a confidential tip. You can remain anonymous, or include your name. The choice is up to you.
What to Send
We’re interested in anything that helps us decode the emotional mechanics of modern dating. Your tip might include:
- A confusing text exchange or a pattern of ghosting, love bombing, or breadcrumbing
- A local dating story, weird app experience, or behavior trend in your area
- Attachment style epiphanies, awkward date dynamics, or emotional regulation mishaps
- Photos, screenshots, or files that help explain a situation (with personal info removed)
- Questions, theories, or psychological “aha” moments that others might relate to
How to Send Files or Screenshots
If you want to share documents, photos, or videos, please email them to [email protected] with the subject line “News Tip from Reader”. You can include details in the email body, or attach files up to 2GB. You do not need to include your name unless you want us to follow up.
Need a More Secure or Anonymous Option?
If you’d rather not use the form or standard email, you can send us encrypted messages using ProtonMail. This is a free, secure email service that lets you send messages with end-to-end encryption and optional self-destruct timers (like Snapchat, but for emails).
To do this:
- Go to protonmail.com and create a free account.
- Email us at [email protected].
- Use the subject line: News Tip from Reader.
You can include attachments or write directly in the message. No need to share your name or identifying info unless you want us to follow up.
Your Privacy
We respect your privacy and emotional boundaries. You can submit a tip anonymously using the contact form below. If you do include your name or email, we won’t publish it without your explicit permission. Your story may be edited for clarity, but we will never alter the meaning or use it out of context.
Use of Your News Tip
By submitting a tip through the form or email, you give Just Stop Dating permission to review and potentially publish your submission—unless you clearly state otherwise. Anonymous submissions are welcome and encouraged. If we want to follow up for clarification or an interview, we’ll ask first.
Need Help or Want to Stay Anonymous?
We understand some stories and news tips are sensitive. If you’re unsure about submitting, or want to remain anonymous but still share something important, just write that in your message. We’re here to investigate, not to expose. This platform is built on trust, empathy, and a desire to understand what’s really happening in the dating world.
