About RuneDate

RuneDate is a free dating site and community forum for adults. This page explains who we are, how the site works and what our rules are.

You must be 18 or over

RuneDate is an adult service. Everyone using this site, posting on the community boards or appearing in any listing must be aged 18 or over. If you are under 18, please leave now — this site is not for you, and there is nothing here you should be reading.

We do not knowingly allow under-18s to register. If you believe a minor is using the site, contact us and we will remove the account.

What the site does

Two things. First, a free dating directory: 2,785 cities across 207 countries, each with local guidance, opener examples and safety notes. Second, a community forum of 2,669 discussion threads across 6 boards, where members compare platforms and share what actually worked.

How we make money

We do not charge members. Some links on this site point to other dating platforms, and some of those are commercial arrangements. Those links are marked with rel="sponsored" where a commercial relationship exists, and member-posted links carry rel="ugc". Nothing you can do on RuneDate costs money.

Community standards

Boards are for genuine discussion. We remove spam, harassment, anything involving minors, and anything illegal. Disagreement is welcome; abuse is not.

Safety

Meet in public. Tell someone where you are going. Arrange your own transport both ways. Keep early conversation on the platform. These are dull rules and they work.
