Dating in Russia: questions and answers
Is there a free dating site in Russia?
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Russia 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 in Russia 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. 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 Russia?
Yes. YADate works worldwide: choose any city in the filters and see the people there.
