One network, not an introduction service
Everyone on DA8N joined the same way, verified the same way and sees the same thing. There is no tier of members who are written to and another tier who write, no per-message charge and no translation of a relationship into a transaction. Membership changes what you can see and control; it does not rank you above anyone and it does not buy access to a person.
Relocation, visas and the questions that decide it
Cross-border dating runs into practical constraints that no amount of compatibility resolves: who would move, whether they legally can, how long the distance phase lasts, and what both families expect. Putting intention, origin and openness to meeting on the profile means these are answerable in week one. It is far better to find out early that neither of you would ever move than to find out after two years.
Verification, and the specific fraud this category attracts
International dating is the natural habitat of romance fraud, because distance is what makes a sustained fiction possible. RealMe is required before anyone can message you: government ID, a liveness selfie and a verification video, checked together. Monitoring looks for the message patterns fraud actually uses, every report is read by a person, and blocking is immediate. The absolute rule remains yours — never send money to someone you have not met.
- Identity verification required before messaging, for every member in every market
- No per-message charges and no paid introductions to anybody
- Safety Profiles that state what has not been checked as well as what has
- Reports reviewed by a person rather than closed by a rule
Where DA8N is actually open
DA8N opens market by market and says so. Each market page states plainly whether the product is open there yet rather than implying availability by having a page at all, and the city pages underneath are entry points rather than claims about how busy anywhere is. If it is not open where you are, the page says that.
