Questions about dating in Ireland

Is online dating in Ireland free on YADate?

Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Ireland and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. Daily caps exist only to stop spam: up to 40 new conversations a day, for example.

Are the profiles in Ireland 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. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.

Can I date someone who lives outside Ireland?

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