First-date ideas for Bucharest
In Bucharest 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.
Staying safe
- Meet in busy public places and tell a friend where you are going.
- Never send money to people you met online.
- Report and block anyone who makes you uncomfortable.

Are the singles around Bucharest 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.
