Questions about dating in Ethiopia

Is online dating in Ethiopia free on YADate?

Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Ethiopia and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.

Are the profiles in Ethiopia real?

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. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.

Can I meet people from outside Ethiopia?

Yes. In the filters you can search around any city in the world, not only in Ethiopia.
