Questions about dating in the United States

Is We Love Dates free in the United States?

You do not pay to join, look, or send. Plans are listed in US dollars on the membership page. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan. Joining costs nothing, and so do browsing and the message you send.

Will there be someone near me?

Put your city on your profile and ask for theirs. The country is large enough that tonight only works when you are actually in the same place. You might be looking for men who want to meet men, a casual agreement, dating later in life, or life as a single parent.

How are fake profiles handled?

Messages and photos are screened automatically. That screen helps, and you still choose the meeting. The optional ID check gives your profile a verified badge. If a chat turns to money, end it and report the profile. A public place you can leave is enough of a first plan once that is clear.

Do I have to post a photo?

No, you can join without one. A recent photo of you helps later, because a meeting goes better when the picture was honest. If the plan needs a flight, have a video call first. A real person can wait until you have met.

You might be looking for men who want to meet men, a casual agreement, dating later in life, or life as a single parent. Say that in ordinary words. Leave room for their answer. Send another note this week and mention a cafe or a park.
