“I’ve always been fascinated by Asian culture and its people. I was so excited when I heard about Romance Tale; I immediately signed up and explored the site. I loved that the women in it can speak a little English; we can try and figure out a conversation. I’m extremely disappointed about the cost, though. It seems like every move—even as minimal as opening a letter!—requires you to spend. I’m still contemplating on spending some more to use the other messaging features. But since this is cheaper than relocating or visiting Asia, I guess I’ll be purchasing more one of these days.” - Keith, 26

Is Romance Tale right for me?Who is signed up on Romance Tale in Australia?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Romance Tale from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
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 color.
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.

Our field test
★★★★★ 2.5/5
Design & usability
Possible users who may not be as tech-savvy need not worry. Design-wise, Romance Tale features a pretty basic and easy to use interface.
For starters, the dating site used minimal colours—white for its background and maroon for its header and footer. Green signifies that a member is online, red is for your notifications, and orange is used for prompts.
The seven menu tabs are placed on the upper right corner of the dating site. Features like the “Contest” and “Faces” are part of the menu. The “Search” function, your messages (live chat) and mail histories, your Credit account, and your profile avatar and settings are located at the header, too.
The way the site placed its features is familiar and intuitive. Both chat boxes have a simple and pretty basic design reminiscent of mobile phone messaging (live chat) and an email inbox (mail).
Although there are banner ads that promote the dating site’s sister platform, these utilised areas that won’t block or distract the user.
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.
Finding people 1
FacesFree
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.
Showing interest 1
Send gifts or flowersPaid
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.
Messaging and contact 1
IcebreakersFree
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.
Community and events 2
ContestFree
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.
Meeting RequestPaid
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.
Final results
3.5good
“With its thorough registration process, Romance Tale promises long-lasting love between Asian men and women and lovers from other ethnicities. This dating site, however, isn’t as peachy as it seems. The website offers limited usability for free userts and is plagued by fake profiles.”

After 2 years of interaction with the same lady, she insisted on me requesting her contact details.She "wanted to leave the site for good "and take things further privatly... She was in hospital for some time, and we would lose contact if I didn't. I had required credits etc and requested her details. Withinin a short time, request denide came back.This sent alarm bells ringing, as the lady did drop off site. My feelings are they didn't send request, the answer came back quickly, not 27 working days stipulated.I also enquired why no success stories ever shown, answer, "their thinking about it "

I found my ideal partner and would like other members to stop messaging me. How do I do that?
