Write for Us Dating: Dating Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Yes, dating guest posts are accepted on this blog, but the focus stays practical and tasteful, covering dating apps, relationship advice for busy professionals, and the business of dating platforms. The ideal writer is a relationship coach, dating app founder or writer with first hand experience of what they are describing. We decline posts that lean into anything explicit, or that read as a generic listicle with no real point of view.

Most dating pitches fall into one of two traps: either a soft, vague piece about finding love, or a promotional post dressed up as advice for one app. Editors see the same headlines constantly: tips for online dating success, how to write the perfect profile, red flags to watch for, and none of it says anything a reader has not already read a hundred times. What this blog wants instead is a specific angle, whether that is how dating apps are built as businesses, how a busy professional finds time to date well, or a piece of advice tested on real people with a real outcome.

My readers are mostly business owners and professionals with limited time and a low tolerance for fluff, and that holds for dating content too. They want advice that respects how busy they are, or an honest look at how the dating industry itself works as a business. If your post gives a reader something useful for their next swipe, message or first date, or teaches them something about how the dating business operates, it belongs here.

60-second dating guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

Is your post tasteful and appropriate for a business focused readership
Can you point to a real situation, product or piece of data behind the advice
Does your first paragraph answer the reader's question outright
Have you left out any pitch for your own app or coaching service
Would a busy professional learn something they can use this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong dating pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd love to write about how important it is to be yourself when dating." A strong one says "I ran a matchmaking service for ten years and want to write about the three questions we ask every client before a first date, and why they predict a second date better than any profile photo." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

A tested piece of relationship advice with a real outcome
How a dating platform or app works as a business, from the inside
A habit that helped a busy professional date without burning out
A contrarian take on a popular piece of dating advice
A workflow or routine a reader could copy this week

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept dating guest posts?

Yes. Dating guest posts are welcome when they cover apps, relationships for busy professionals, or the business side of dating platforms, written by someone with first hand experience. We publish tasteful, practical pieces rather than vague inspiration or promotional copy for one app. Explicit or adult content is never accepted.

What dating topics do you accept?

Dating apps and platforms as businesses, relationship advice tailored to busy professionals, tested habits and routines, and honest looks at how the dating industry operates. The common thread is a specific, useful angle rather than a broad tour of dating advice everyone has already read.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and adds value for the reader. Posts written purely to promote a dating app, coaching service or platform with no real advice are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium or a client's site under a different byline. Republished or lightly reworded content is declined, and we do check before anything goes live.

How do I submit a dating guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form and include the topic, the specific advice or angle the post covers, and a line on your first hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on fit before you write a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you represent a dating app, platform or coaching business and want to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a dating guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that perform best usually run between one thousand two hundred and two thousand words, because that is what it takes to walk through one real piece of advice or one business insight well. A tight post beats a padded list every time.

What makes a dating pitch stand out?

A specific tested outcome, a business insight most people never see, or a habit that worked, rather than broad advice like be confident and be yourself. Editors want a point of view that could only come from someone who has lived it, whether that is a coach, a founder or a professional balancing work and dating.
