Questions about dating in Tawau

Who can I meet near Tawau?

In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 10 km to 500 km, or “Any distance”.

Is there a free dating site in Tawau?

Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Tawau 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 Tawau real people?

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.

Can I meet someone who doesn't live in Tawau?

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