It seems like Caucasian males aged 25 and above are the most active users of Romance Tale. It may be born from something positive: cultural diversity. After all, we all need some tender loving care regardless of race and skin colour.

At Romance Tale, members are encouraged to nurture a long term mindset. Although a few joined the website to have fun, most of the men and women are in search of friendships and serious relationships.

Aside from the East and Southeastern Asian countries, a sizable amount of the members come from English-speaking territories such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. 

For the proud LGBT members, here’s a real bummer: straight is the only orientation Romance Tale knows.

Making Contact on Romance Tale

RomanceTale Chat
  • Messaging is a premium feature
  • Browse potential matches with “Faces”
  • Send out “winks” and “likes” for free
  • Add members to your “Favourites” list for free

The means to get in touch with members are rather plentiful at Romance Tale. You get to choose from subtle actions or go big with grand gestures.

  • Faces

Review photos up close with Faces, Romance Tale’s version of the popular swipe left or right feature. Click “Like” if the member caught your eye and “Skip” if you prefer to keep looking. At the bottom, you will see the member’s basic details as well as the site's messaging features.

  • Like 

Tell a member you like them by clicking a button. The “Like” button can be found on the Faces feature or on the member’s page itself. Probably the best part is that you can send likes for free.

  • Send a Wink 

Start a wordless flirtation when you send a “Wink.” Similar to the “Like,” you can find this feature on Faces or the member’s page. It’s also free so wink to boys and girls left and right.

  • My Favourites

Add all the interesting men and women you come across to your “My Favourites” list. That way, you won’t lose them in the sea of plenty since you can always visit your list.

  • Live Chat

Similar to Instant Messaging, Live Chat allows you to interact with the website's online members. You can also send photos and videos via Live Chat. Note that you'll need to pay to have full access over this feature.

  • Mail

Let your feelings be known even if the woman or man in question is offline at the moment. With this paid feature, write a letter—attach photos and videos as well for full effect. 

  • Send Flowers or Gifts

Despite the distance, deliver some gifts or flowers with this rather neat feature. Visit the gift catalog and have your order delivered right at their doorstep.

  • Contact Requests

If you want to interact outside of Romance Tale, request the details of your match. This action will automatically deduct a certain amount from your account.

  • Meeting Requests

Probably another unique feature of this dating website is the meeting request. As its name suggests, use the feature to arrange a person-to-person meeting with a match. 

Romancing members may be limited to wordless interactions for standard users. It's probably best that you can browse and review the member's details for free. That way, you can be sure you’ll be spending on someone you’re interested in.

Romance Tale Profile Quality

RomanceTale Member Profile
  • Reports claim there are numerous fake accounts
  • View detailed members profile for free
  • Easy to supply and edit information
  • View full-sized public photos for free
  • Video uploading and viewing are paid features

    As mentioned, Romance Tale allows standard accounts to browse complete profiles for free. You also get to view photos in their full-sized glory as long as they are set to public.

    Since Romance Tale fosters intercultural relationships, the detailed information can help you form a general idea of what a particular Asian member is like:

    • Name and Age

    This section will display the member’s name and age. Note that they may use screen names to protect their privacy.

    • Photos

    As mentioned, you can take a look at the members’ photos—as long as it’s open to the public. Some members upload private photos; in this case, you’ll have to message the member first to view it.

    • Personal Info

    Right under the member’s name and age is their info. Details include their Romance Tale Member’s ID, location, height, and weight.

    • Chat and Mail History

    These two are placed side-by-side for easy viewing. You can only see the chat history if the member is online. If they are offline, you’ll only be able to see the mail history. If you previously communicated, your messages will be displayed here.

    • Messaging Options

    Under the messaging history, you’ll be able to see the following:

    1. To Favourites
    2. Like
    3. Send a Wink
    4. Flowers and Presents
    5. Request Contact Details
    6. Set Up A Date
    • Additional Info

    This section reflects what you answered in the “About Yourself” section:

    1. Birthday and age
    2. Eye and hair colour
    3. Marital status
    4. Religion
    5. Level of education
    6. Occupation
    7. Drinking and smoking habits
    8. Level of English/Other languages
    • Description

    This portion displays the description you wrote during the signup process. If you suddenly come up with a wittier bio, you can always go back and review this section.

    Despite the amount of information, there are numerous reports that a lot of the accounts at Romance Tale are fake. Claims state some of the photos found on the site are not by actual members. These photos are reportedly lifted from catalogs and feature random Asian girls or fitting models.

    Aside from the photos, reports claim you can spot a fake account since their messages are repetitive and overtly sexual. During our review, we did receive sexual messages. Upon further investigation, their profiles looked doubtful.

    This concern is probably why Romance Tale introduced ID verification. In this feature, members who want their accounts to get validated are required to upload a verification form and valid ID. Once verified, a member’s page will sport a “Validated” badge.  

    Romance Tale App

    RomanceTale Mobile Faces
    • No mobile app available
    • Mobile-friendly website
    • Mobile version is easy to navigate
    • Features minimal ads

    If you wish to check your prospects on-the-go, the best you can do is to log in to Romance Tale with your mobile browser. As of the moment, the dating site does not offer a mobile app for its users.

    We reviewed the mobile version, though, and it is optimised and as easy to navigate as its desktop counterpart. The colour palette and features available for desktop remain, so browsing the website via your smartphone won’t pose any problems.

    Unlike most dating sites, Romance Tale offers Credits instead of monthly subscriptions. These will be used for almost all interactions while on-site—chatting, messaging, and ordering gifts.

    This messaging feature is only available if a member is online.

    • Live Chat - 2 per minute
    • Sending chat stickers - 5 per sticker

    • Sending letters - 30 per letter

    Photos and Videos
    Although as a standard account you can view other member’s photos, you’ll need to pay to comment on them. You’ll also need to pay to view videos if a member has one.

    • Comment on photos - 2 per comment
    • View profile videos - 25 per video

    Aside from photos, you can upload your videos, too.

    • Upload a profile video - 100 per video

    Interaction with other members

    • Gifts and flowers delivery - 100 per delivery
    • Meeting request - 625 per request

    Since almost every action needs paying, Romance Tale also offers an automatically renew set-up. When you choose to avail the Automatic Top-Up, Romance Tale will keep track of your account. When it’s down to five, the dating site will automatically replenish your account (you will dictate how many will be purchased) to make sure you enjoy Romance Tale’s services without pause.

    Special Features

    At Romance Tale, members get to interact with each other aside from the usual chat and mail features. Although most of these features are paid, standard users can still access and assess if it’s worth the buck.

    Contest

    Nothing fires up a community more than some friendly competition: Romance Tale’s Contest delivers just that. Contest themes aim to show mostly the women in their most creative and provocative shots.

    Contact Request

    This feature allows you to ask for someone’s actual details. You'll now have the choice to continue your conversations via Romance Tale or through other means like email.

    The act of requesting a member’s details is free, but you need to fulfill the following requirements first:

    • You need to complete the ID verification process. This way, the member you want to connect with will know you are an actual human being.
    • You used up 3000 Credits while communicating with the member. If you were not able to spend this amount, you can go big and give a gift or flower. That way, you'll impress a potential match with a thoughtful act.

    The approval of your request will still be up to the member. You’ll be notified if they feel like it’s too soon.

    Faces

    The results of the search bar are arranged like a catalog. Since there are a lot of members, viewing the search results may be overwhelming. The “Faces” feature of Romance Tale is a good alternative as it allows you to see members one-by-one. The messaging options will also be placed under the member’s photo should you want to send a message.

    Meeting Request

    Exchanges done online are neat, but sometimes we yearn to see them in the flesh with our bare eyes. Other dating sites leave meetings up to the members, but this dating site allows you to arrange one using the site.

    To set up a date, you’ll need to:

    • Complete the ID verification process. As you are now about to exit the privacy of the dating site, proving that both parties are actual humans should be a must.
    • Have 625 Credits available. Note that this is for the meeting request only; this does not include airfare, lodging, and any expense you’ll incur on your visit.

    Approval will be up to the member. The good news is that you will be refunded if the member declined.

    Send gifts or flowers

    It is nice to note that Romance Tale included a feature for the men and women whose love language is receiving gifts. First, visit their profile and click the “Flowers and Presents” button to view all the items you can order. If your match is a parent, the items for little boys and girls will make thoughtful gifts.

    What’s rather neat about this feature is that Romance Tale takes care of the delivery. Once you placed your order, you can track its progress online. You will also receive a proof (photo of the member with the item) that your gift was successfully delivered. For this service, Romance Tale charges a separate amount for delivery.

    Icebreakers

    If you are a validated member, Romance Tale will randomly send icebreakers on your behalf. This ensures you get the best exposure by connecting you with people worldwide.

    After the ID verification process, Romance Tale will require you to draft your icebreaker. Then, it will send the statement as a chat or mail.

    How can I give my information to someone at Romance Tale?

    The only way for you to give you information is through the “Request Contact Details” feature. Your message won’t be delivered if you include any contact detail such as your email address, phone number, and personal photo via the Live Chat or Mail features.
