Dating in Minnesota: questions and answers

How do I find singles in my part of Minnesota?

Every town in Minnesota, from Minneapolis to the smallest, has its own page with the people within 30 miles of it — start with yours. Minnesota is home to more than 3.9 million people. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 5 miles to 300 miles, or “Any distance”.

Is online dating in Minnesota free on YADate?

Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Minnesota 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 profiles in Minnesota real?

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. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.
