Dating by city / Iraq / Erbil region / Erbil
Looking for a date, something serious or new friends in Erbil? Create a profile and you could be the first local on this page.
In Erbil it helps to meet halfway rather than in one person's neighbourhood. A place near a transport hub means nobody spends an hour getting there, or getting home.
More than 1.8 million people live within 50 km of Erbil, in 4 towns and cities including Xebat, Pīrmām and Shaqlāwah. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 10 km to 500 km, or “Any distance”.
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Erbil 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.
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. 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.
