Members from Gqeberha and towns within 50 km who make their profile public will appear here.
In a city the size of Gqeberha, pick a place you can both reach in half an hour: a café near a metro or bus stop, an exhibition, a food market or a walk in a central park. Weekday evenings are quieter than Saturdays.
More than 1.3 million people live within 50 km of Gqeberha, in 5 towns and cities including Kariega, Nomathamasanqa and Addo. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 10 km to 500 km, or “Any distance”.
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Gqeberha 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.
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. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
