Dating in Kandy
Kandy is smaller and more traditional than Colombo, and many people here want to meet someone without the whole town knowing about it. Wrati keeps conversations private and lets you be clear about what you are looking for.
Free to join for men and women
What dating in Kandy is actually like
Life revolves around the lake and the Temple of the Tooth, and the city fills during the Esala Perahera. Outside festival season it is a quieter place where people tend to know each other.
The university at Peradeniya brings students from across the country, while many young professionals commute to or have moved to Colombo. Whether someone plans to stay in Kandy is often an early question.
Sinhala is the main home language, with Tamil spoken widely in the surrounding hill country. In-chat translation helps when two people do not share one.
Dating, relationships and marriage in Kandy
Marriage is often the goal, and families are usually involved. Wrati lets you get to know someone first while being honest about wanting something serious.
Whatever you are looking for, you say it up front. Your intention — Marriage, Long term, Short term and others — is shown to the people you match with, so someone looking for a life partner and someone looking to date can each find people who want the same thing.
Love in your language
Languages commonly spoken in Kandy include Sinhala, Tamil and English. On Wrati you can list the languages you speak, and in-chat translation helps when you and your match do not share a first language.
