Joining, browsing and sending messages are free. Membership is what lets you read and reply.

  • Free to join and send messages

  • Running since 2010

Free, on We Love Dates, means a message can go out before any plan is chosen. You need a plan before someone else's answer will open. That split is the same in every country. An ID check is optional. Choose it and a verified badge appears on your profile.

The country guides say what else matters once the message is sent: which city, how far apart the capitals are, and where a first meeting can be public. Start with the place you actually live. Prices are on the membership page. You can stop renewal at any time in Account Settings.

The dating network has 2m+ members, and we have been running since 2010. The screen on messages is automatic. If a chat turns to money, a voucher or a parcel, close it with report and block. A slow start is a cue to write again and name a public place.

What free means here

No plan is required to join, browse, or send. A 24-hour pass, a longer plan and an identity check are optional. Passing the check adds a verified badge to the person who took it. You can send a message either way.

We Love Dates has been introducing people online since 2010, with 2m+ members across our dating network. Dating Frame, a trading name of Digital Dudes Ltd, operates the site.

Pick a country

Open the page for the place you will actually meet. United Kingdom is the full guide: what you can do free, what to check on any site, safety, and a first message. Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa each say how that same free rule sits on their own map.

US pages use US spelling. Every other page in this section uses UK spelling. A fair note about another company comes only from that company's own pages, with the year it was checked. The UK comparison is where that standard is written down.
