Dating by city / Ethiopia / South Ethiopia Regional State / Dīla
Members from Dīla and towns within 50 km who make their profile public will appear here.

More than 440,000 people live within 50 km of Dīla, in 8 towns and cities including Yirga ‘Alem, Wendo and Ch’iko. You set the distance yourself in the filters, from 10 km up to 500 km — or choose “Any distance”.
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Dīla or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.
There are no fake profiles here: YADate doesn't create them or chat on anyone's behalf. Photos go live only after a moderator approves them, every account confirms an email address, and reports are reviewed by people. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.
