Members from Stockholm and towns within 50 km who make their profile public will appear here.
In Stockholm 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.
Within 50 km of Stockholm there are 25 towns and cities — Haninge, Södertälje and Tumba among them — with more than 2 million residents in all. You set the distance yourself in the filters, from 10 km up to 500 km — or choose “Any distance”.
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Stockholm and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. 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.
