Meeting new people is hard. We wanted to create something to help.

Instantly meet people near you or around the world. Discover new friends at a local bar or from the other side of the planet. Millions of people are connecting and meeting every day.

Nearby is not a dating website. We find the idea of a "dating website" as too forced. Chemistry happens naturally on Nearby all the time, but that is not the purpose of the site. Nearby is for helping people make friends. Need a tennis partner? Want to find a running buddy? In a foreign country and want to find a speaker of your native tongue? Then you have found the right website!
