Meet people who fit your Vancouver — not everyone else's.

Why Vancouver needs a different kind of dating app

Metro Vancouver is split by bridges and water. A match in Surrey is a long way from a match on the North Shore, and most dating apps happily show you both. Vely puts distance first: you set how far you are willing to travel, and discovery shows people inside that radius, whether you are downtown, on the west side, in East Van, in Burnaby or across a bridge.

Vancouver has a laid-back, open-minded dating scene and plenty of couples who want to meet other couples or singles without using an app built for something else. Vely supports both single and joint couple profiles, so couples can be upfront about who they are and singles can choose whether they want to meet singles, couples or both.

Safer first meetings in Vancouver

Mutual matching means nobody can message you until you have both liked each other, which cuts out most of the noise people leave other apps over. Block and report are one tap away, every profile is for adults only, and couple profiles can verify their partner. For a first meeting, pick a public spot such as a cafe in Mount Pleasant, a walk along the seawall or a bar on Commercial Drive, tell a friend where you are going, and keep the first conversation in the app.
