Questions about dating in Sanya
Who can I meet near Sanya?
You set the distance yourself in the filters, from 10 km up to 500 km — or choose “Any distance”.
Is there a free dating site in Sanya?
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Sanya or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. Daily caps exist only to stop spam: up to 40 new conversations a day, for example.
Are the singles around Sanya real people?
YADate never creates fake profiles or writes on behalf of people who don't exist. A moderator checks every photo before it appears, every member confirms an email address, and any profile can be reported. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
