Experience-based dating

Take your time.

People • Places • Stories

Meet someone, then do something together.

MetU is a storybook island map where a date is something you share: a café table, a row across the lagoon, a balloon ride at sunset. You get to know each other by how you spend the time.

How a date works

Fewer swipes. More afternoons.

Everyone you meet has a profile you can read before you ask. The date itself happens on the map, side by side.

  1. 1

    Make your profile

    Your name, your look and a few answers about what you're after. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. 2

    Meet on the map

    Walk the canals and plazas. Click someone's name tag to read their profile, then ask them out.

  3. 3

    Do things together

    Share a café table, play a game for two, row a boat or swim. Your date walks beside you the whole way.

  4. 4

    Keep talking

    When it ends, choose what's next. Your conversation carries on outside the map, and you can ask to hang out again.

Things to do together

Every date is an activity.

Games for two draw from real question banks, so you learn something about each other while you play.

Across the water

Violet Hour Island

Offshore lies an island of rides, a club and a mall that glows after dark: a Ferris wheel, a carousel for two, a lighthouse with a sunset bench. Row or swim across once and it's on your map from then on.

The way MetU works

Made for slow dating.

Doing, not swiping

You meet people where they are and spend real time with them. A shared game says more than a photo grid.

Present on the date

There's no chat window while you're out together. Talk afterwards, in a conversation that's there whenever you want it.

Free to explore

Every place and every activity on the map is free. No points, no paid boosts.

The map is open.

MetU is in preview. The islanders you'll meet are fictional characters for now, and the map plays best on a computer with a keyboard and mouse.
