Dating in Ouagadougou: your questions answered

How do I avoid scams when dating online in Ouagadougou?

The pattern is consistent everywhere: an unusually fast emotional escalation, a reluctance to video call, and eventually a request for money. None of that is specific to Ouagadougou. Keep the conversation on-platform, video call before meeting, and never send funds to someone you have not met.

How far should I set my search radius around Ouagadougou?

Wider than feels natural. Most people searching in Ouagadougou start at ten or fifteen miles and see very little. Pushing that out to thirty or forty typically multiplies the number of active profiles without meaningfully changing how far anyone is willing to travel for a first meeting.

Is online dating actually free in Ouagadougou?

Yes, in the sense that you can create a profile, browse and in most cases send messages without paying. The limits you will hit in Ouagadougou are on volume and visibility rather than on access. Start on a free tier, confirm there are active members within your radius, and only consider paying once you know the pool is real.
