Dating by city / Germany / North Rhine-Westphalia / Cologne
No one from Cologne has a public profile here yet. Create yours and people nearby will be able to find you.
In a city the size of Cologne, pick a place you can both reach in half an hour: a café near a metro or bus stop, an exhibition, a food market or a walk in a central park. Weekday evenings are quieter than Saturdays.
More than 5.7 million people live within 50 km of Cologne, in 103 towns and cities including Düsseldorf, Wuppertal and Bonn. 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 Cologne 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.
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.
Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
