Is there a free dating site in Semarang?

Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Semarang 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 Semarang 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. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.

Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
