Dating in Rwanda: questions and answers

Is there a free dating site in Rwanda?

Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Rwanda 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 Rwanda 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 Rwanda?

Yes. YADate works worldwide: choose any city in the filters and see the people there.
