Getting Started
How does WannaDate? work?
WannaDate? is inclusive 18+ dating: date seekers browse companion profiles, send date requests, and once accepted they chat and arrange meetings. Companions may optionally add a compensation level (1–5) and date expectations—or leave them blank. After the date, both parties can leave reviews. We facilitate connections—you handle the rest.
Is this an escort or prostitution service?
No. WannaDate? is a social dating connection platform only. We do not provide or permit escorting, prostitution, or sexual services. The site does not list specific dollar amounts for dates. Any attempt to use the platform for illegal activities, including prostitution or escorting, is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or a permanent ban.
What is the age requirement?
You must be 18 years or older to use WannaDate?. We verify age during signup and do not allow accounts for users under 18 or over 100 years old.
What's the difference between date seeker and date companion accounts?
Date seekers browse date companion profiles and send date requests. Date companions create profiles and accept or decline date requests. You choose your account type during signup, and it determines which features you can access.
Do I need to verify my email?
Yes, email verification is required to activate your account. You'll receive a verification link after signing up. Check your spam folder if you don't see it.
Can I switch account types?
Account types are set during signup and cannot be changed. If you want to use the platform as both a date seeker and date companion, you would need to create separate accounts with different email addresses.
Is WannaDate? inclusive of LGBTQ+ and non-binary users?
Yes! WannaDate? welcomes everyone. You can select your gender as Male, Female, Transgender, or Non-Binary. Date companions can specify who they want to date, supporting all orientations including heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and pansexual preferences. We're committed to creating an inclusive platform where everyone feels welcome.
What does the optional compensation level mean?
It is an optional profile signal (levels 1–5), not a price and not processed by WannaDate?. It can reflect how much companions value things like a thoughtfully planned outing, a nice dinner, or a gift—whatever you mutually agree off-platform. We do not display cash amounts for dates on the site.
Can I use WannaDate? without listing any compensation?
Yes. Leave the compensation level blank and date expectations empty for a traditional dating-style profile. Optional signals are entirely voluntary.
How are platform fees separate from what members arrange off-platform?
WannaDate? prohibits sexual services for hire and illegal activity. Tokens and Premium are platform access fees only. Anything between users—including gestures or expectations you discuss—is between you, off-platform, and must stay lawful.
Tokens & Pricing
How do tokens work?
Tokens are used to make connections on the platform. You receive 3 free tokens when you sign up. Date Seekers: Sending a date request is FREE—you're only charged 1 token when the date companion accepts. Date Companions: You're charged 1 token when you accept a date request. If a request is declined or cancelled, no tokens are charged.
When are tokens charged?
Tokens are only charged when a date request is accepted. Date seekers are not charged when sending requests—only when date companions accept. Both date seeker and date companion are charged 1 token each simultaneously when the date companion accepts. No charges occur for declined or cancelled requests.
Do I get free tokens?
Yes! All new accounts receive 3 free tokens when you sign up. This allows you to make your first connections without purchasing tokens.
What happens if my request is declined?
If your date request is declined, no tokens are charged. You can use your tokens to send requests to other date companions. There are no refunds needed because you were never charged.
Can I get a refund for tokens?
Refunds are available in three forms: refund to the original credit card (processed by our payment processor, 5-10 business days), token balance credits (instant), or premium subscription extensions (instant). We recommend token credits or premium extension when eligible—they are faster and under our direct control.
What typically qualifies for token/premium refunds? Documented no-show (ghosted) with proof in messages, last-minute cancellation by the other party, platform or product failure, or fraud/impersonation. What typically does not? Changing your mind, blocking the other party, disagreements in chat, or "the date didn't go well." We review each case. See our Refund Policy for full criteria. You can cancel Premium at any time and keep access until the end of your billing period.

Dates & Requests
Can I cancel a date request?
Yes, you can cancel a pending date request at any time before it's accepted. If you cancel before the date companion responds, no tokens are charged. Once a date has been accepted, you should coordinate cancellation directly with the other user.
What happens if the date companion doesn't show up?
If a date companion doesn't show up for a scheduled date without notice, you can report the issue through our support system. We'll investigate and may, at our discretion, provide token credits or other in-platform remedies for platform fees. WannaDate? is not a party to any off-platform arrangements or agreements between users.
What if I cancel a date after it's been accepted?
Once a date request is accepted, tokens have already been charged. Refunds are available at our discretion in the form of a refund to the original credit card, token credits, or premium extensions.
