Dating doesn’t have to feel awkward, rushed, or intimidating.

Speed Dating Better is a Vancouver-based meetup for people who want to meet others in real life — without pressure, judgment, or forced chemistry. This group is designed for thoughtful, curious people who value conversation, personal growth, and authentic connection.

This is not traditional speed dating.

What Makes This Group Different

Connection Before Matching
Instead of jumping straight into fast-paced dating rounds, our events begin with a short, guided conversation or workshop focused on communication, psychology, or personal development. This helps everyone relax, break the ice, and feel more comfortable being themselves.

Low-Pressure, Human-Centered Events
There’s no expectation to “perform” or make instant romantic decisions. You’re encouraged to connect naturally — whether that leads to dating, friendship, or simply a great conversation.

Calm, Comfortable Venues
We host our events in quiet, welcoming community spaces (not loud bars or clubs) to create a relaxed and respectful environment.
