Anyone looking for a meaningful relationship can be a guest! The requirement is honesty and authenticity instead of harsh selection criteria like specific height, preference, income, location, or activities. We want singles who can deliver authentic, entertaining conversations that help listeners connect in real life.
If you want the most accurate picture of what we are looking for in a guest seeking love, visit click “Apply to be a guest,” and see the exact questions asked on the form— you can view them without applying if you are interested, but not yet sure you want to go on a show. You can also email john@donewithdating.co directly with any specific questions about the selection process.
We want to make this a fun and exciting experience for single people who are frustrated with dating apps and want to change the status quo.
Age requirement: You must be 18 years or older. This is the only hard eligibility rule.
General description of guests: We want to interview people who are done with traditional dating apps, interested in real human connection, and open to bold, conversational experiences. We celebrate authenticity, self-awareness, and a desire to bring out your true personality through podcasts.
Application trigger: Clicking “Apply to be a guest” leads to a form submission. Submitting the application begins your journey to have your voice heard.
Strong candidates would typically demonstrate:
A compelling personal story around modern dating (e.g., why you’re “done with dating apps,” past experiences, lessons learned, or what you’re seeking now).
Good energy suitable for a podcast interview (engaging, open, willing to be vulnerable or humorous on air).
Alignment with the platform’s values: openness to real conversations, interest in being matched with listeners, and enthusiasm for sharing your story.
Clear, respectful intent (the Terms stress lawful, personal use only).
We prioritize diversity of perspectives (e.g., different ages, backgrounds, locations, fitness levels, hobbies) while striving to keep episodes relatable and high-energy for listeners who might then apply to date the guest.
Here's the simple and free process
Submit the application with your details, photos, and answers to the questions the form asks.
We review your application, primarily to make sure it fits our mission.
Expect outreach for scheduling a recording which will be remote or in-person (if you wish) in the Massachusetts area
We record a 20 to 30 minute interview. We then send you an initial draft of the interview for your review. Once you approve it, we will publish video on YouTube and audio on all platforms for any guests looking to date. For our guests that are experts, we will publish audio to Youtube, Apple, Spotify, Amazon and iHeartRadio.
We will forward you any contact information of people who apply to date you.
We hope you will take this opportunity to highlight yourself and take a shot at finding a real connection.
Cheers,
John
