Questions about dating in New Zealand

Is online dating in New Zealand free on YADate?

Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in New Zealand or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.

Are the profiles in New Zealand 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 meet people from outside New Zealand?

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