At least 2 big red flags
February 28, 2025

All these "women" who want to chat with us are employees of GoDateNow and they have no real interest in us. The majority of these "dating sites" including GoDateNow arer totally fake. Three months ago I switched to J7Match.com
And it has been a fantastic experience so far! I've been meeting very lovely ladies who seem genuine and I had a real date yesterday with Ukrainian girl living here in Berlin. I finally found something that is not fake, unlike the majority of the "dating sites" including GoDateNow.
I guess you noticed that women spend days and nights online on GoDateNow and they always want to chat. This is the first red flag. They are never ready to exchange contact information and talk outside of the site. This is the second red flag. All in all, GoDateNow is a continuous money drain. And somehow they are getting away with scamming thousands of men.

First it has to be a scam. It just seems impossible for them to do this. First i can't tell how many times same letter from different girl. I got 2 phone numbers no answer. Mailed a letter no such address. 1 has told me she is coming everyday for about 2 years. I found several of these women on other sites and they claim no knowledge of ever being on the site. I just couldn't believe they could be this cleaver. The girl does seem to exist someplace else another city or country. Same name and info

This is a fraudulent company that provides no service but is eager to get your money I was registered at this site for 3 years and lost a lot of money. You are communicating not with the ladies but with the interpreters. They mix names, dates, countries, family history and invent the same stories for different ladies. There is no way you ever get a contact information of a lady. The administration does not answer your questions. These people only collect your money. They should be behind the bars as such activity is against the law. But they do not want to meet my lawyer in the court of law. Avoid this scam promoting company by all means.

It's a typical scam: you are flooded with emails with generic content, usually it's some kind of romantic bull crap. These emails are created by employees of the site. The ladies in the photos aren't searching for a man. They "cooperate" with this phony site and get their share. They don't even have to chat with you. Chatting is the duty of other employees. Very often these "chatters" are males. I tell you, it's extremely nasty scam! Don't become one of the gullible pathetic men who fall victim to this type of scam!

You will have better luck on
J4Dream.com
They do have real genuine ladies cause they don't pay them any commission for chatting. It's the only way for a dating site to attract honest female users. There are a few other decent sites as well. Just stay well clear of GoDateNow, it's definitely a scam! Avoid this scam by paid professional "chatters"! They all say they love you but play stupid when it comes to exchanging contact details. Only one girl I chatted with on GoDateNow revealed her contact information, but she refused to talk offsite. There are no real genuine ladies on GoDateNow cause they pay them for chatting. It's just a showcase of hot photos, but that's as far as it goes.

VERY DECEPTIVE SITE!
January 26, 2023

The other reviews are correct that Go Date Now is a complete ripoff. I did not invest a lot of money but took advantage of the few free credits and first investment incentive. They make it impossible to connect with many girls because there is a requirement of 15 letters (which cost about $10 each!) before you are eligible to get just 1 girl's contact information. Using 2 different new accounts I tried it out, and after sending 15 letters to 2 different girls they rejected my request on frivolous and untrue grounds. Before this they were very eager to meet me in person. They are liars and deceivers and are probably paid by GDN to keep the interest going in their correspondence with men. This is why most of the photos are very seductive and most talk like very loose women (if they are indeed women and not men who post photos of beautiful models).

Their customer service rep Nicholas keeps tight control on everything because he is a crook and will not budge on anything.

Another fake
January 23, 2021

I pay for contact info but the phone call is never answered, the lady blames the internet. I contact godatenow, their reply is "The call goes thru for us." It has to be a scam. I think the ladies get paid commissions for getting the man to write letters and for chat. Its a rip!

"Cut my balls off".
June 16, 2019

I received a lot of emails from one beautiful 42 years old. So I wrote a letter back with the subject title " marriage" I was very polite and a bit flirtatious. I even asked about her 2 children. I asked her to fly to an airport I named and offered to pick her up there. This, of course, was to bypass having to spend $200 to get her contact info. She responded with a very weird letter about how I should reread my letter to her, that I wasn't being very polite? I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. So I wrote back to politely end off with her. I made it clear that I thought she was very attractive etc, but was not going to correspond with her anymore, and to " Take Care". She wrote back something about I was not worthy of her and if we did see each other, she would " literally cut my balls off!" My guess is the translator saw that I was trying to bypass paying the $200, and therefore the translator wrote the threatening letter. I would STAY AWAY from this scam site.

Zero Stars
August 10, 2021

This website is a complete scam. I have used a reverse picture lookup to see if these women are real. I find their social media website and send a copy of the letter I get on godatenow.com. 100% of the time, the real person does not know of the website and did not send the letter. Stolen photos and stolen identies. Complete scam.

Need test
January 26, 2018

Once being fooled you always expect the worse. This is what happened to me. I had a very sad experience with online dating. I was corresponding with a scammer. After that my trust to women and dating sites was undermined. I read a lot of articles on scam, and figured out how to protect myself from possible fraud. Ive become pickier when choosing a dating platform. This site seems quite trustworthy but I need time to test it overall.

I checked out GoDateNow out of inquisitiveness, and it was very silly of me. Normally I use J7Date.com
I have never had any problem with it and I have met several women in Ukraine. I thought the pool of people was larger on GoDateNow. They make it seem so, but it's not true.
I tried it and wasted cash. The majority of the accounts are fake. They are used by GoDateNow employees to attract new uses and guilt them into chatting. If you are very lucky you may be able to meet a genuine girl there, but in general the odds are deliberately stacked against you because it's all scam!
So don't waste your time and money on paid con artists who never read your profile and just send you template letters from fake profiles. Godatenow is all about making you part with your cash as soon as possible. It's just another scammy dating site that has taken to misleading their users.

My story
January 13, 2018

Finding yourself divorced in your late 40s is daunting. You still want to love and to be loved but something inside makes you hesitate. Its like you want to enjoy your life as a newly single but at the same time you dont want to be alone. I found the way out. I gave myself some time to recover from the past relationship. I plunged into my work, met with my friends, went on a trip. Then I felt its time to meet somebody. I went online and registered at this site. Online dating is right for me. Im chatting with women from all over the world. Im gradually regaining my flirting and wooing skills thanks to those chats. There are some women Id like to meet in person.

Total scam-site
June 9, 2020

GoDateNow is a total scam-site! I wish that I could give it a zero star rating. The girls are all professionally photographed and look to good to be true. The website is there only to sell email and chat credits. Each email costs the male responder about $4 to reply to a solicitation from one of the women (or female impersonator). When a 79 year-old guy gets over 5000 invitations to chat (some as young as 19) you have to know that something is wrong.

I could never get any of the women to admit to the revenue sharing but I suspect that the ladies get $1 to $3 of every email transaction. A friend of mine sent emails to several women and requested their contact information for the stated price of about $35. The personal information does not include the woman's email address, only a phony street address and a phone number that nobody answers. This friend has traveled to Ukraine extensively and is well connected in the government. He learned that the owner of this site was forced to move the operation to London. There are other websites that provide the women's email address immediately but be careful. There are plenty of scammers using these sites too. I suspect that scamming hot looking women is the major revenue generating export of Russia, Ukraine and other post Soviet countries.

The women seemed to be paid just to keep you writing and buying more credits. They will promise you anything. It's nothing more than low level prostitution.

Lady #1: After sending her 15 letters I requested her contact information. Upon receiving her contact information I called 3 times. The first she said she could not hear me. Same with the second call. The third call she did not answer. I texted her to send me an email. She replied she has no internet service and will send me an email the next day. If she has no internet service then how can she be on a dating site.

Lady #2: This lady said she had a daughter that lived in Europe. Then she said the same daughter lived in an area of my town in America and she was going to visit her the end of next month. She got caught.

Whenever these lady's start calling you honey and saying they think you are a very interesting man and talking about marrying you those are signs they are dragging you along so you will buy more credits.

Stay away from this site. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

Go Date Now is a business and NOT a dating site. Their job is to create the fantasy of real women interested in you. For their efforts, they get a cut of the money you spend to send them letters and chat. They will say anything to keep you interested and once you get to the contact info they will then conveniently disappear. When I actually went to Kiev to meet these women, these women simply do not exist. This is a scam. If you are really trying to find a woman to date or marry then stay far far away from this site. If you want to have a fantasy where they do not actually exist, then by all means you have found the right place! Good luck!
