DATEWORKING
wisdom and wayfinding through the modern dating ecosystem
Hi, I'm Steve Dean
Dating Industry Consultant, Relationship Coach, & Community Wayfinder
I started Dateworking in 2011 because I began to notice that our social, romantic, and professional lives were all becoming more intersectional than ever. Whether we're transitioning to new cities, new communities, new jobs, or new romances, we rely on many of the same values, apps, and tactics to guide us.
I strive to explore, share, and create connection in all its live-affirming forms: finding new friends and communities; meeting new business partners and startup mentors; exploring our relationship with ourselves, and finding love, intimacy, and romantic partnership no matter where we find ourselves in life.
Today, as a dating and relationship coach, I love working with individuals who want to make meaningful inroads across all the different spheres of relationships in their lives. Schedule an intro call with me anytime.
Since 2011, I have advised, recruited, and consulted for dozens of dating companies, including OkCupid, CoffeeMeetsBagel, Hinge, Spectra, and Happy Hour. On the business side, I like to focus on competitive research, business development, user acquisition, team expansion, and my personal favorite: product/launch strategy. I want to see a world with dating apps we're proud to put on our home screen.

For over 25 years, I’ve been a relationship nerd, obsessively trying to learn all that I can about how we find, form, and sustain relationships.
I'm currently building up a living knowledge base of dating & relationship best practices, events, platforms, professionals, venues, books, games, questions, and philosophies that lead us to heightened self-awareness, social & technological dexterity, and the ability to generate sustainable and empowering connections anywhere we find ourselves in life.
