Dating, outside the script

Your relationship.
Your rules.

A community for people building partnerships that don't fit the traditional mold — together under one roof without marriage, in two homes, solo poly, chosen family, and everything between. No script. No embarrassment.

Two neighbouring townhouses side by side, each with its own front door
— Over 40% of adults today live in relationships that don't fit the traditional template.

The manifesto

We don't fit. On purpose.

  • 01

    No template, no apology.

    Living together unmarried, indefinitely. Two homes by choice. Solo poly. Chosen family. Whatever your shape — you don't owe anyone an explanation here.

  • 02

    Find your people, not 'the one'.

    Most apps optimize for traditional marriage. We built one for everyone the algorithm forgot — so the person across the table already wants what you want.

  • 03

    Commitment, custom-fit.

    Deep partnership doesn't require a ring, a mortgage, or a merged calendar. Define commitment your way, then meet someone who agrees.

Real members. Honest about what they want.

Questions, answered

The honest FAQ.

A few things people ask before signing up. If yours isn’t here, email us — we read everything.

What do you mean by ‘shape’?
Shape is just our shorthand for how a relationship is actually set up — who lives where, how exclusive it is, what commitment looks like. A monogamous couple sharing a mortgage is one shape. Two committed partners in two apartments is another. Solo poly is another. We use ‘shape’ because ‘relationship type’ sounds like a form field, and what we’re really asking is: what does your love actually look like day to day?
How does Living Apart Together (LAT) work on Apart?
LAT means you’re in a committed romantic relationship but keep separate homes — by choice, not circumstance. On Apart, you pick ‘Living Apart Together’ as your shape during onboarding, and we match you with people who explicitly want the same: deep commitment without sharing a roof. Your profile signals it up front, so you skip the ‘so… when are we moving in?’ conversation entirely.
Can I change my shape later, or pick more than one?
Yes. Your shape isn’t a tattoo. You can update it any time from your profile, and you can mark which shapes you’re open to meeting — they don’t have to match yours.
What if my relationship doesn’t fit any of the listed shapes?
Pick ‘Something else entirely’ and describe it in your own words. The whole point of Apart is that the list is a starting point, not a cage.
