Dating in Iowa: questions and answers

Where in Iowa can I meet people?

Every town in Iowa, from Des Moines to the smallest, has its own page with the people within 30 miles of it — start with yours. More than 1.8 million people live in Iowa. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 5 miles to 300 miles, or “Any distance”.

Is there a free dating site in Iowa?

Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Iowa 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 Iowa real people?

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.
