Common questions about Nanjing

Do I need to pay to send the first message in Nanjing?

On some platforms yes, on others no, and it is the single most useful thing to check before investing time. If a site covering Nanjing will not let you start a conversation without a card on file, treat that as information about how thin its local membership probably is.

What is the best time to be active on dating sites in Nanjing?

Weekday evenings, roughly between eight and eleven. Activity around Nanjing is noticeably lower on weekend afternoons than most people assume. Messages sent midweek tend to get replies faster simply because fewer people are competing for attention.

How far should I set my search radius around Nanjing?

Wider than feels natural. Most people searching in Nanjing 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.
