Questions about dating in England

Where in England can I meet people?

Start with your own town: every place in England has a page showing the people within 30 miles of it. More than 46 million people live in England. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 5 miles to 300 miles, or “Any distance”.

Is there a free dating site in England?

Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in England 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.

Are the singles in England 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.
