## Facts
- Is Ireland Dating free? Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. You need a membership to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before you pay anything.
- How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person before it goes live. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, so you can see who has proved who they are.
- Where do single people meet in Ireland? Through friends, sport, local clubs, the pub and, more and more, online. Parkrun, Macra, trad sessions and festivals like Lisdoonvarna are all good places to start.
- How do I meet people in rural Ireland? Get involved locally, with a TidyTowns group, a club or a Saturday parkrun, and widen your search to the next few towns. Plan how you will get home, as rural transport can be thin late at night.
- Can I meet people in Northern Ireland on the site? Ireland Dating is focused on the Republic, but you can search for people near the border. If you live in or around Belfast, our sister site Just Belfast Dating is set up for you.
- What is a good first date in Ireland? Something short and public, like a coastal walk, a market or a free gallery, followed by a coffee. It keeps things relaxed and gives you both an easy way to say goodnight.
