How free dating in Detroit actually works

There is no approval queue for Detroit members. Once your profile is up and your location reads Detroit, you can search Detroit, filter and message immediately.

Is DateMio available outside Detroit?

Yes. Detroit is one of many locations in United States and worldwide, so your profile still works if you leave Detroit — just update the location field from Detroit to wherever you are.

Yes. Visibility is a setting rather than a paid feature, so you can take your Detroit profile out of Detroit search at any point and put it back whenever you want to.

What if there are not many members in Detroit yet?

Widen your radius beyond Detroit for a week and check back. DateMio is used across United States and the Detroit pool grows as more members near Detroit join, so an early quiet spell in Detroit is not the final picture.
